Measure what needs to fit
Measure mowers, carts, bikes and other bulky equipment before deciding on the opening. Leave practical clearance rather than designing around an exact equipment width.
Single or double doors
A wider opening can improve access for large equipment. A smaller single door may preserve more wall space for shelves and storage.
Think about the approach
The ground outside the opening matters too. Leave room to operate the door and move equipment toward the shed without a tight turn.
Plan the threshold
If wheeled equipment will enter regularly, consider how the floor height and any ramp affect access.
