Outdoor storage, measured before it is sold
ZZM Official Online Store
Start with the strip of ground you can actually spare. Every shed, cabinet and deck box here carries its footprint next to its capacity, so you can rule out two thirds of the range with a tape measure before you look at a single photograph.
- 6 capacities, 10 to 57 cu ft
- 12 shed sizes
- $12.99 to $1598.52

01 · Pick by size
Four classes, drawn to the same scale
The strip of ground you can spare decides this before anything else does. Each class links to the sizes in it, and the guide sets them side by side with what fits inside.

Eight ZZM sizes people settle on
Ordered by the depth of the ratings pool our retail partner shows, not by what we would like to sell. Capacity, footprint and material stand on every card.
In the yard
A 6 by 6 foot shed, from the pad up
Twenty seconds of the range as it stands outside: wall texture, the latch, the floor panel and what fits through a pair of front doors.
See the walk-in sheds03 · Before you buy
Six measurements that decide which size you need
Capacity is the number people argue about. The footprint is the number that stops a delivery going back. Take these six and the range narrows itself.
The strip of ground
Measure the width between the house and the fence, then take four inches off for the doors to swing and for you to stand.
The height under the gutter
A sloped roof needs headroom at the back wall. Measure to the lowest thing above the spot, not to the eaves.
What goes in first
Stand the mower, the wheelbarrow or the trash cans where you can see them and measure the tallest one. That height sets the class of shed, not the volume.
The door opening, not the box
A pair of front doors swallows a mower that a lift-up lid will not. If the widest thing you own is 28 inches, the opening has to beat it.
Where the water runs
Pick the spot after rain. A floor panel keeps damp out of the box; it does not stop the box sitting in a puddle.
The shelf you will want later
Shelf sets are cut for named capacities. Buying the shed that has a shelf set costs nothing extra and saves a return.
04 · By the job
What people put in them
The same box solves different problems depending on the yard. These are the jobs our own product notes name, with the sizes that take them.
05 · Fitted parts
Bought the box bare? The shelf set is cut by number
A shelf set is listed against the capacities it is made for, and every one of those sizes links back to it. Match the number on your own shed rather than measuring the gap.

06 · The catalogue
Six shelves
Sheds and cabinets do the same job at different sizes; the shelf sets belong to named sheds; and the yard tools are here because they solve one outdoor job each.

07 · By material and shape
Five ways into the range
ZZM resin storage sheds
Resin sheds are the middle of this range and the part most people end up in: a moulded wall with the grain in it, a floor pan underneath and a latch that takes a padlock. They run from a 26 cubic foot box that swallows two trash cans to a 52 cubic foot cabinet you can stand a long-handled tool in without taking the head off.
5 sizes, from $198.52 · See the resin storage sheds
ZZM double-wall HDPE storage sheds
Double-wall HDPE is the stiff end of the range: two skins with a gap between them, a floor included on every size and vents at the eaves on the tall ones. It is what holds its shape at six feet of width, and it is why the walk-ins are quoted in feet rather than cubic feet.
7 sizes, from $168.20 · See the double-wall HDPE storage sheds
ZZM walk-in storage sheds
Walk-in means six feet deep and four, six or eleven feet along the wall, with a sloped roof on the two larger ones. These are the sizes where the ground decides: a level pad, doors that clear the fence, and anchors, because an empty six by eleven is a sail in a gust.
3 sizes, from $738.52 · See the walk-in storage sheds
ZZM horizontal storage sheds
Under fifty inches tall is the height that clears a window sill and a deck rail. These are the boxes for things that lie down, cushions and hoses and a folded chair, and the ones you place without thinking about headroom.
9 sizes, from $112.97 · See the horizontal storage sheds
ZZM trash can storage sheds
Two wheeled bins are about forty-two inches tall and need a fifty inch strip. That one measurement rules out most boxes, which is why the sizes that take them are wide and low, with doors at the front rather than a lid you have to lift a full can over.
5 sizes, from $277.32 · See the trash can storage sheds
ZZM lawn mower storage sheds
A push mower is about twenty-two inches across the deck, so the door opening decides and not the volume. The sizes here open at the front, which is the difference between rolling a mower in and lifting it over a sill.

Measuring, anchoring and what not to lock in
Four pieces on the parts of this that a spec table cannot answer: what a permit depends on, what fuel does in a closed box, and how much a shed moves in wind if it is not fixed down.
Which shed size do you need? Start with the ground, not the cubic feet
How to pick between a 26, 37, 48 and 57 cubic foot shed, and when the footprint rules the decision instead of the volume.

10 · Why ZZM
Three things you can check before you order
None of this is a promise about the weather. It is what the ZZM team can put a number on, and the numbers are on the pages.
Every size, with its footprint
Capacity and outside measurements stand together on every page, plus the door opening where the brand states it. You can rule a size out without leaving the page.
Shelf sets matched by number
A shelf set is listed against the capacities it is cut for, and the shed pages link back to it. No guessing whether a board fits.
Prices from one update, dated
Figures come from a single catalogue update and the date is printed on one page, not stamped under every price. If checkout disagrees, checkout wins.

Every capacity, with the ground it needs
The whole range in one place: cubic feet, footprint, door opening and the shelf set that fits. Measuring the gap before the box is the ZZM way of doing it.
Figures on this site come from our last catalogue update. If a price differs at checkout, the checkout price is the one that counts.
