Need something up this weekend? Look for easy assembly outdoor storage sheds—portable frame-and-cover units and many resin models go together with basic tools.

Choose the Right Shed for a Guelph Backyard
Metal storage sheds
Metal storage sheds for sale on this site are galvanized steel kits: sloped roofs, lockable doors, and sizes from lean-to cabinets up to walk-in garden sheds and larger garages. They are the usual pick for sheds for lawn mowers, snowblowers, and bulky yard equipment. A riding lawn mower storage shed should have a wide opening, a low or ramped threshold, and enough interior length to park and still walk around the deck.
Plan a level foundation (gravel pad, patio stones, or concrete) before the kit arrives. If you want a wood floor and the model does not include one, add a compatible floor frame. Steel is the stronger long-term shell; it is not always the fastest Saturday project.
Resin outdoor storage sheds and plastic storage sheds
Resin outdoor storage sheds and other plastic storage sheds will not rust, rot, or attract insects. Many are lockable garden sheds with floor already in the box, which is ideal when you do not want to build a deck first. Double doors and latches make them practical tool storage sheds outdoor for trimmers, pots, hose reels, and pool chemicals.
If you want low maintenance in Guelph humidity and winter freeze-thaw, resin is often the easier ownership story. Browse the resin sheds on sale collection for lockable, floor-included models.
Portable storage sheds
Portable storage sheds use a galvanized or powder-coated steel frame with a weatherproof cover. They are the easiest sheds to assemble, they can be moved, and they are the budget path to bike storage sheds outdoor, ATV cover, firewood, and seasonal furniture. Covers can be replaced later; the frame stays. If you might change lots or you need storage this season without a poured pad, start here: portable sheds for bicycles, powersports, and tools.
Best shed for a small backyard
The best shed for a small backyard is usually a vertical outdoor storage shed or a lean to storage shed for small spaces. Vertical cabinets hide tall tools on a slim footprint. Lean-to steel sheds sit against a fence or garage wall. Both beat a full gable kit when side yards in Guelph are tight. See small outdoor sheds first, then size up only if a mower has to live inside.
What Size Shed for a Lawn Mower?
Measure the machine, then add door width and walk-around space—not just the footprint on the box.
- Push mower / 21" deck: a compact 4x6 to 6x8 often works if the door clears the handle.
- Walk-behind or wide deck: 6x8 to 8x8 with a wide door.
- Riding lawn mower storage shed: plan on 8x10 or larger, a ramp, and a door around 60" wide. Large sheds and some portable canopy sheds are built for this.
If the mower is the main reason you are shopping, skip the mini cabinets and open large sheds and garages or a heavy-duty portable shed.
Sheds That Don’t Need a Permit in Guelph
Many Guelph homeowners look for sheds that don’t need a permit before they order. In Ontario, a detached, one-storey storage shed of about 15 square metres (roughly 161 sq. ft.) or less, used only for storage and with no plumbing, is often exempt from a building permit. The City of Guelph still expects you to follow zoning: setbacks from property lines, lot coverage, and backyard placement.
A typical 8x10 (80 sq. ft.) or 10x12 (120 sq. ft.) garden shed is under that footprint. Larger sheds, garages, plumbing, or a structure attached to the house can trigger a permit. Always confirm with City of Guelph building permit guidelines before you pour a pad or assemble a kit.
If you want the simplest path, start with our small outdoor sheds and garden storage sheds—compact, lockable, and sized for most Guelph, Ontario lots.
This is a general summary, not legal advice. Permit and zoning rules change. Visit City of Guelph building permit guidelines for the most up-to-date information before you buy or assemble a shed.
Metal vs Resin Storage Sheds
| Feature | Metal | Resin | Portable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Mowers, long-term backyard storage | Tools, patio gear, low maintenance | Bikes, ATVs, seasonal overflow |
| Floor included | Often optional kit, sometimes included | Often included | Uses ground or existing pad |
| Lockable | Yes, on most walk-in models | Yes, latches and lockable doors | Zippered / roll-up access |
| Assembly | Moderate; needs a level base | Easy to moderate | Easiest; often a few hours |
| Canadian weather | Galvanized, sloped roof, snow must be cleared on some models | No rust; wash and go | Weatherproof cover; re-tension after wind |
There is no single winner. Strength and span favour metal. Ownership ease favours resin. Speed and price favour portable. That is why this page points to all three collections instead of forcing one kit.
Guelph Outdoor Shed FAQs
Metal vs resin storage sheds — which should I buy?
Buy metal when you need a riding lawn mower storage shed or a long, rigid shell. Buy resin when you want lockable garden sheds with floor, no rust, and simpler upkeep. Many Guelph customers mix both: a small resin cabinet for chemicals and a steel or portable unit for the mower.
Will resin hold up in an Ontario winter?
Quality polypropylene resin sheds are made for freeze-thaw and UV. Keep the roof clear of heavy snow the same way you would on a metal kit, sit it on a level base, and use the lockable doors so wind cannot rack an unlatched panel.
Does steel always need a separate floor?
Often yes. Many steel kits ship without a floor so you can set them on patio stones or a slab. Resin models more often arrive with the floor included. Check the product page before you checkout.
What are the best outdoor storage sheds for Guelph yards?
The best outdoor storage sheds are the ones you will actually fill. Tight side yard: vertical or lean-to. Tools and pots: resin or small steel. Bikes and a mower: portable or large metal. We keep outdoor storage sheds on sale in each of those lanes so you are not forced into a custom build.
Best shed for a small backyard
Choose a vertical outdoor storage shed or a lean to storage shed for small spaces. Both keep the footprint small while hiding rakes, trimmers, and a push mower. Shop small outdoor sheds.
Where do bikes and garbage bins go?
Bike storage sheds outdoor are in the portable collection. Hide totes and recycling in outdoor garbage bin storage sheds so the street side of the house stays clean.
What size shed do I need for a lawn mower?
For sheds for lawn mowers, door width matters as much as square footage. A push mower fits many 6x8 lockable sheds. A rider needs a larger shell, a ramp, and room to steer in. If you are unsure, photograph the mower with a tape on the deck and compare it to the interior and door specs on the product page.
Can a portable shed cover a riding mower?
Yes—choose a portable unit with enough length, peak height, and a wide front opening. It will not be as rigid as a steel garage, but it is the fastest weatherproof cover for seasonal parking.
Do I need a permit for a shed in Guelph?
Many Guelph homeowners look for sheds that don’t need a permit before they order. In Ontario, a detached, one-storey storage shed of about 15 square metres (roughly 161 sq. ft.) or less, used only for storage and with no plumbing, is often exempt from a building permit. The City of Guelph still expects you to follow zoning: setbacks from property lines, lot coverage, and backyard placement.

This is a general summary, not legal advice. Permit and zoning rules change. Visit City of Guelph building permit guidelines for the most up-to-date information before you buy or assemble a shed.
Is a building permit the same as zoning approval?
No. A building-permit exemption does not waive setbacks, height, or lot-coverage rules. Even sheds that don’t need a permit must sit legally on the lot. When in doubt, email a simple site sketch to your local building department before you order a large kit.
Do portable sheds need a permit?
Temporary frame-and-cover sheds are less likely to be treated like a permanent accessory building, but cities still care about placement and how long they stay up. If you are in a heritage district or a tight urban lot, ask first.
What are the easiest sheds to assemble?
Portable storage sheds are the easiest sheds to assemble—steel tubes, a cover, and ratchets. Many resin and plastic sheds are next because the walls are large panels and the floor is often included. Metal kits are durable but slower: more fasteners, square-and-level work, and a prepared base. If “this weekend” is the goal, filter for easy assembly portable and resin models.
How long does a steel garden shed take?
Plan a full day for two people on a mid-size steel kit, plus whatever time you spent on the pad. Read the manual before the box lands. Anchoring matters in Guelph wind.
