Design Your Dream Shed: Create the Perfect Space with Custom Shed Upgrades
Need a little extra space in your home? Somewhere you can relax without the kids bothering you—or a space for them to study and play on their own? Or maybe you want a home office or little room to get a little DIY done, but don’t have a corner to spare. Whether it's a classic shed for storage space or garden tools, or a dedicated workspace for business or hobbies, a custom shed might be the perfect solution for you and your family.
From doors and windows to decorative add-ons and structural upgrades, a custom shed can be pretty much anything—or everything—you need for your new space. At Westwood, we offer a variety of packages to enhance your shed and make it work for you:

But did you know we also have individual add-on options? Let's take a look at the variety of upgrades that are available for custom sheds so you can dream up exactly how you want your space to look and function.
1. Custom Shed Doors
Your shed’s entryway is the first point of contact—it greets your guests as they check out your backyard, and it’s the safety net that keeps the kids out of a potentially dangerous toolbox. So you want it to look good, be secure, and add a little style to your new garden addition. But beyond looks, the door is how you’ll access your shed, so it’s important to consider functionality. Do you need a garage door for storing large equipment, or would an extra regular door make it easier to get in and out? Choosing the right door ensures your shed works just as well as it looks.
How can you customize your shed door? Here are just a few of the ways you can upgrade your shed door:
● Alternate door color: To match your shed to your personal style and make it truly yours
● Extra single or double barn door: Add an extra door to your shed for ease of access
● Pre-hung fiberglass door: A high-quality, durable, and easy-to-clean material that gives your shed a more residential look.
● Upgrade double doors to fiberglass: A durable entryway plus some extra space for bringing out pool supplies or large tools
● Garage door with locking latch: Makes accessing large equipment easy and adds versatility to your shed.
2. Custom Shed Windows
Whether you want an abundance of natural light or to keep your new space warm and toasty through the colder months, windows are an important part of designing a custom shed.
How can you customize your shed windows? Take your pick of standard windows, insulated windows, transom windows, or insulated transom windows to suit your style and needs. For a bold, modern look that adds contrast and sophistication, you can also choose black windows for your custom shed.
Windows for your shed come in a variety of sizes, including:
● 24’’ x 36’’ standard windows
● 24’’ x 36’’ insulated windows
● 30’’ x 36’’ insulated windows
● 24’’ transom windows
● 36’’ transom windows
● 24’’ insulated transom windows
● 30’’ insulated transom windows
3. Structural and Personal Upgrades for Your Shed
When designing your custom shed, it's important to think about your current and future needs. Sure, you can add workbenches and shelves later, but structural needs should be addressed during the design process.
How can you customize the structure of your shed? From high walls to maximize your vertical storage space to heavy-duty floors that can handle some seriously heavy equipment, you can upgrade your shed’s structure to suit all your needs.
Once you are set on the structure of your shed, consider that extra personal touch to take a great custom shed and make it really yours. You could add a workbench for all your upcoming projects or some additional shelves to keep your tools and supplies neatly organized.
Here are a few more upgrades you might not have considered—but definitely should:
● Additional loft: Ideal for giving your shed some extra storage space—great for seasonal and long-term storage items
● Pegboard: To hang your tools out of the way but well within reach when you need them
● Aluminum ramp: For driving your lawnmower, ATV, or golf cart into your shed or rolling out the heavy-duty tools
● Tote storage rack: A customizable tote storage rack with heavy-duty totes included—perfect for keeping your shed neatly organized
4. Decorative Upgrades for Your Custom Shed
Nothing says custom like giving your new shed a personal spin. Whether it’s going to be storage space, a home office, or a creative space for your tools and projects, — a little character makes all the difference.
How can you customize your shed’s decor?
From ‘man caves’ and ‘she sheds’ to project space and pool storage—no matter what you use your custom shed for, you can deck it out to look exactly as you like. Consider adding these extra personal touches to customize your shed:
-
- Shutters: Enhances the curb appeal making your shed look more like a charming cottage rather than a basic storage unit. Adding residential features like shutters make your shed look like an extension of your home, not just an afterthought.
- Flower boxes: Add a pop of color and life with seasonal flowers, making your shed quaint, inviting, and picturesque!
