About DuraMax Small Sheds Under 50 sq ft
The under-50 sq ft tier is the smallest tier of DuraMax residential storage. Footprints in this range run 5-50 sq ft (5x3 = 15 sq ft, 5x5 = 25 sq ft, 6x6 = 36 sq ft, 7x7 = 49 sq ft). These compact sheds work for specific use cases where full-size storage is not needed.
Common applications include tool storage (separate from main shed or garage), garbage and recycling can enclosure (keeps cans out of sight and out of weather), garden potting station (gardening supplies and small equipment near the garden), pool supply storage (chlorine, test kits, vacuum supplies), bicycle storage for one or two bikes, kayak/paddleboard storage, and supplemental storage as a second shed for specific equipment categories.
Permit advantages at this size. Under 50 sq ft is well under the 120 sq ft threshold that triggers building permit requirements in most jurisdictions. Most under-50 sq ft installations require no permits, no plan review, and no setback compliance beyond local standard setbacks.
