Dimensions
Your caravan shed should have enough walkaround space on each side, along with adequate roof space. If you plan to install a carrier rack, air conditioning or a TV aerial on top of your caravan, add enough roof space for this.
It is also wise to make the roof space taller in case you eventually upgrade to a taller caravan. Adding six to 12 inches of height will usually only increase the total cost by the value of additional materials.
Custom caravan shed suppliers offer flexible bay sizes from single up to quadruple your storage requirements. This means that you have the option of getting a size that accommodates your caravan and leaves you enough space to store other items like you would in a garage.
Design
When determining the features of your caravan shed, there are several considerations you need to think of.
Doors
Most sheds have roller doors that open and close manually, or are chain-operated or motorized using a remote. There is also the option of using sliding doors, which some users claim are easier to repair than roller doors and provide more access for higher vehicles. Larger caravan sheds can even have a personal access door that you can open with a key, allowing you to enter the shed without opening up the sliding or roller doors completely.
When ordering roller doors, there is one important tip to remember. The height given by the manufacturer may not necessarily be the actual drive-through height. A 10 foot door, for example, may roll up to only nine feet 10 inches or shorter. Always have the manufacturer give you the actual drive-through height.
Windows
You also have the option to include a window or two for extra light and ventilation.
Roof Pitches
The pitch of your caravan shed’s roof depends on several factors: the purpose of the shed, the local climate, and your personal aesthetic style. Several manufacturers offer different roof pitches and can help you decide.
Other design features
Air vents, insulation, skylights, and color of your choice are some of the other add-ons that can not only enhance the comfort inside your shed, but also customize it and make it a true expression of yourself.
Cost
Since there are so many options when customizing your caravan shed, the final price of a caravan shed will really depend on how you customize it. Sit down with your canvas shed company and they will gladly draw up a quote for you.
