I need one and badly. What is a good size for a SMALL yard? is 8X8 big enough for lawnmower, tools etc. I am not using as a shop only to clear the clutter out of the garage. Thanks

I would buy one that was bigger than I thought I needed
Bartender, bring me anything except brake fluid, cause I don't plan on stopping!

I would build it big enough to hold all the "stuff" you will have 5 yrs from now. Don't ask me how I know this.

Figure out what size you need and then build/buy one a heck of a lot bigger. Voice of experience speaking!

I have a 10x8. Best piece of advice I can give you is hang a sign on the door that says "outdoor kitchen" so your wife will never go in there. That way, you'll have plenty of room. As it is, I'm lucky to be able to fit the lanwmower in mine.

We've got a 10x8. Plenty of room for the mower, weedeater, coolers, and a whole bunch of other crud. Build some shelves. Easier to keep it organized.

I built the 8X10 and then bought a 6X6 a year later and my garage is still full of crap. Get the big one!

I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.
