So I am thinking of getting an outbuilding to store lawn equipment. My backyard isn't all that big and i am thinking 10x10 max. I like the storage overhead of a gambrel roofed building but am not sure if that would go good with me home. I live in an HOA community. They have nothing that says gambrel roof will not work but it does say that it should match color, style, material where possible.

i saw same style builing, gambrel, behind a new construction home on my street so it should fly past HOA.

My question is, would getting the smaller, more expensive, matching home style building be a better investment??

I think of a shed as something you use, not something you invest in.

A simple shed with a standard pitched roof will fit in just about anywhere. Paint it to match the house.

But if you want the storage of a gambrel roof, and it won't give you a headache every time you look at it, then get it. If not, get the standard pitched roof.

I personally don't like the barn-style sheds, but I don't think it would prevent me (or many people) from buying a house, so it probably will have a negligible effect on the value of your home.

So buy what makes you happy now.
