The Utility shed is one of the most common sheds that are used in residential gardens. The shed has been influenced by modern architecture through the use of materials, technology, detail, and decoration. It can be found in many different parts of the world, only differing through the expression used for the detail and decoration to reflect the cultures. The shed is rectangular in shape and is simply in constructed using simple materials.

The Utility shed is used mainly for storing garden tools, tools, bicycles and garden equipment. The location of the shed is therefore placed in the back of the garden where it can be accessed easily, but also it is slightly hidden away. In different parts of the world the use of the shed may differ slightly due to the owners needs. The form of the shed is very simple as it is rectangular in shape and therefore it is easy to be constructed. The size of the shed is usually 8 x 10ft. The shed has a simple pitched roof, usually contains one door and a window.
