Here are some basics on the placement of doors and windows on your shed or similar structures.

The decision on the installation of windows on your shed depends mainly on the purpose of your structure. We can offer you a variety of configuration choices depending on your structural specifications. If you will be regularly frequenting your shed to spend some time in the structure, make sure to determine where the wind blows from to ensure the placement of windows allows proper aeration in the shed.

Assessing the direction of the wind can also influence the placement of windows if your shed is storage for products that require a well-ventilated structure. Natural ventilation on your shed can help you save on power bills arising from the use of electronics such as fans.

Light is another factor that affects your decision on where to place windows on your shed. If you use your shed as a workstation, you will require light for safety measures. Place your windows strategically on the sun’s path to enjoy daylight naturally. If your shed is a storage space, place your windows away from the sun to benefit from the shade.

When considering the placement of doors, the purpose of your structure also affects your decision. You can decide on whether to place one or two doors depending on the size of your workload. For convenience purposes, you should consider the general slope and topography of your place when placing doors. For more information on the proper placement of shed doors and windows, call us now!
