New Windows for Your Home

If you purchased a traditional garden shed, it is likely made of some form of wood. Over time you may want to upgrade the look of this traditional shed. This can be difficult to plan out and achieve, especially if the garden shed has smaller windows that have a different casing that the ones found on traditional homes. If this is the case, here are three ways that you can use vinyl siding to upgrade the look of the garden shed and add to your curb appeal.

Vinyl Siding Shutters

One of the easiest ways you can use vinyl sidings to upgrade the look of your storage shed is to add shutters. This can be done with a small amount of vinyl siding scraps and can be done as a DIY project. The shutters do not have to be functional and they can be of any color that fits your landscaping needs and color scheme. In some cases, you may be able to buy shutters that are already made to fit your windows or that can be cut to fit the garden shed windows.

Vinyl Siding and Overhangs

If you choose to outfit the entire garden shed in vinyl siding, you can go with a wood grain look and shingle style. This can not only add an upgraded, yet rustic, look it can also help protect the wood underneath. If properly installed, vinyl siding or vinyl shingles can help keep water away from the windows of your garden shed and from the wood of the shed itself. This helps reduce wood rot, rust around the windows, and doorways. You can also use the shingles to help build overhangs and canopies over the window areas to add a more polished look.

Vinyl Siding Plant Boxes

Once you have vinyl shutters, sidings, and overhangs in place you may want to add a final touch. One way to use vinyl siding to do that is to use siding scraps to create plant boxes. These plant boxes can be attached to the window base and artificial or real plants can be placed in the plant boxes. This is something that can give a comforting feel, finished look, and can be changed out for the seasons.

These are just three of the ways you can use vinyl siding to upgrade your garden shed. If you have other ideas, take them to your local vinyl siding professional. They can help you bring your ideas to life and they can help with pricing. Consultations with your vinyl siding or window contractor regarding some of these ideas may also be possible.
