6×5 FT Metal Sheds

Six by five feet is a deliberately square little shed: around 72 inches wide, 47 to 55 inches deep and 71 inches tall, so a bit under 30 square feet. The extra depth compared with a 6×4 is what lets you put a shelf along the back wall and still walk in past the mower.

Several models in this size ship with a floor kit and with translucent roof panels that let daylight in — genuinely useful in a small shed, because a 6×5 has no window and would otherwise be pitch dark inside even at noon. These are also the models where the door track quality shows: a 6×5 gets opened several times a day, and a thin sliding track is the first thing to fail.

What fits

• A mower plus a back-wall shelf of paint, chemicals and hand tools.
• Bikes and scooters with room to step inside.
• A small workbench under the translucent roof panels.

Before you buy

• Floor kit included or not — these models vary, and a floor kit is worth the money.
• Translucent roof panels make a windowless shed usable during the day.
• Sliding door track gauge; it is the part that wears out first.
