Child coloring with crayons on a wooden table: how to design a homeschool shed

How to Design a Homeschool Shed

January 3, 2023/in ASI

If you have taken on the challenge of homeschooling your children, you already know just how much work it is to give them what they need to learn and grow. It’s a rewarding task, to be sure, but those rewards don’t make it any easier. One way to bring some structure and consistency to your homeschool experience is to create a shed on your property that is used specifically for this purpose.

At American Steel Carports, Inc., our metal sheds are highly customizable, affordable, and built to last. You can use our Build & Price tool to see what’s possible on the customization side of things and feel free to contact our team if you have any questions along the way. This is an exciting project, so remember, you can get the kids involved, too! Explore a few unique colors and designs, and together, we can create a homeschooling space that will serve your family well for many years to come!

Picking the Right Type of Shed

The first step in creating a homeschool shed from scratch is deciding what kind of shed to build. Wood is one popular option but it comes with some downsides including relatively long build times and elevated costs. Metal, on the other hand, presents the opportunity to build a shed quickly and for a minimal investment. When you need to get something up and running right away, metal is the obvious choice.

When shopping for a metal shed, picking the right partner for the project is perhaps the most important decision of all. Unfortunately, there are plenty of low-quality metal sheds on the market today, and one of those simply isn’t going to get the job done. Instead, shop with American Steel Carports, Inc. to make sure you get something that meets your quality expectations and will serve your family well for a long time to come.

Focus on Comfort

If this new shed is going to create a productive learning environment, it needs to be comfortable. Comfort is determined in part by things like chairs and desks, but it goes further than that. Some of the elements that you choose to include in your shed’s design and construction are going to help make it a space that your kids will love to visit day after day. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Have it insulated

It’s going to be difficult to get work done if the shed is bitterly cold or extremely hot. You can take the edge off of those temperature fluctuations by adding insulation to your shed during the construction process. American Steel Carports, Inc. is proud to offer this as a feature in our metal sheds so you can enjoy this new space as soon as it is constructed on your property.

Add plenty of windows

Using our Build & Price tool makes it easy to customize your metal structure, and the inclusion of windows is one option you’ll want to be sure to explore. Windows bring two specific benefits to your homeschooling space – plenty of natural light and the ability to get fresh air into the room.

Make room to spread out

If you have multiple children who will be homeschooled in this space, they each must have plenty of room to focus on their work without being bothered by the others. Assuming you have the necessary space on your property, consider building a shed that is slightly bigger than what you technically need for the number of kids you’ll be teaching. This way, the desks, and chairs can be spread out a bit, and it will be easier for everyone to focus. Also, a bigger shed is more flexible for other uses when school is not in session. If you are going with a metal shed from American Steel Carports, Inc., you might be surprised to find how minimal the additional cost is as you make your shed a little bigger.

Get professional help

While you can plan out most of this project on your own, and you can make sure it is installed correctly by trusting American Steel Carports, Inc. with the job, there is one part of this project that you’ll want to turn over to a third party – the electrical work. Most likely, you are going to need this shed to be served by electricity so you can power computers, screens, lights, and more. Of course, electrical work can be dangerous when attempted by someone without the right training and experience, so bring in a proven pro for this job and get it done right the first time.

Start Building Your School House Today

Trying to homeschool your children while working at the dining room table, or on the couch in the living room, is always going to be an uphill battle. American Steel Carports, Inc. can take that stress away and help you develop an ideal learning space for your children to thrive. If you’re ready to discover the possibilities, explore our free Build & Price tool. Our team is always here to help if you have questions along the way.
