Locally Owned 
Space is always in demand when you own a home. It’s one of the most common problems that Guelph homeowners face over time.
The more things you accumulate, the harder it is to stay organized and keep your house looking well-maintained. This leads to garages that are overflowing with items that you need and some that you don’t.
If you’ve set up a workshop in your garage or basement, more clutter makes it difficult to work efficiently, leading to frustration and overwhelm. Tools and equipment can become hard to keep track of and find when you need them most.
Guelph has been consistently recognized as one of the best places to live in Canada, due to its clean environment and high quality of living. Local residents value their space and have unique needs for optimizing their homes.
Back Yard sheds are ideal for homeowners who want to create more space in their homes and have an organized storage space for common household items. This includes garden equipment and home repair tools, along with items related to personal hobbies such as arts and crafts.
Larger sheds can even be used as mini-garages, providing additional space to perform automobile repairs and maintenance. Choosing the right shed for your needs is a result of determining how you will use it.
Back Yard sheds also increase the property value for Guelph homeowners. A high-quality shed improves the visual appeal of your home, which generates greater interest and price from buyers.
Sheds are available in a wide range of styles and materials. They’re constructed from wood, metal, or vinyl.
Although wood creates a more attractive look, each material provides a unique set of benefits that you should consider before choosing the one for your home.
Sheds can be customized to meet specific size and shape requirements. They can match the design of your home so that they become a natural extension of your property.
Sheds can be fitted with cabinets and shelves to allow you to organize all of its contents easily. Guelph homeowners use sheds to store the items they no longer need in their living spaces.
Garden sheds are also popular among those who enjoy cultivating vegetables and other plants. Besides being a functional addition to the home, a garden shed can be aesthetically pleasing as well, serving as a decorative addition to your backyard.
Sheds are ideal workshop spaces that can be a cost-effective and practical alternative to using your garage or basement. This makes it easy to perform home repairs and hobby projects, without disturbing your indoor living space.
In the Back Yard brings more than 40 years of experience in backyard shed solutions to Guelph residents. We help you determine the best shed for your needs along with the quality and customer service our customers have come to appreciate.
For Guelph's climate, consider using durable roofing materials like asphalt shingles, metal, or steel. These choices are effective at shedding snow and rain, ensuring your shed remains dry and resilient. Proper insulation and ventilation under the roof also help in maintaining the shed's condition in Guelph's climate.
To make the most of your Guelph shed's space, try adjustable shelves, pegboards for tools, and overhead racks. Hooks and hangers are great for hoses and tools, and clear bins help you see what's inside. Workbenches, labeled containers, and stackable bins keep things organized, making your shed efficient and clutter-free.
To get your Guelph shed ready for winter, insulate it with materials like foam board, seal gaps around doors and windows, and add a safe heater if needed. Clear snow from the roof, ensure good ventilation, and consider a dehumidifier to prevent dampness. Also, protect tools, insulate pipes if you have them, seal any entry points for pests, and secure valuables to keep them safe.
To maintain your Guelph shed's exterior, clean it regularly with mild detergent and water, fix any damage quickly, and consider repainting or staining wooden siding every few years. Keep an eye on the roof and gutters, and protect against pests. Trim any overhanging branches to prevent storm damage.
To prevent ice dams, ensure proper insulation and ventilation in your shed's attic or roof space. Keep the roof clear of snow using a roof rake or broom. Adding a layer of ice and water shield under the roofing material can also help prevent leaks caused by ice dams.

Shelton Y2023-07-03We had a 10'x6' Highlands Gable shed installed in our backyard a couple of weeks ago and were impressed with the whole experience. The service was what you would hope to get from a family-run business, as they carefully walked me through the design process, providing me every detail I needed. Installation was punctual and very professional. The shed looks great and while it's early days, it certainly looks like it was far better value than my previous plastic shed. Highly recommended!
