I put together a list of the best ATV shed ideas on the internet, based on the quality of design, stability, and ingenuity.

Closed ATV Shed Ideas

If you live in a state like Minnesota or Maine, then your winters will not be as gentle on your ATV as California, for example. I recommend you create a closed shed and add proper ventilation to keep your 4 wheeler protected. Here are some of my favorite closed ATV shed ideas:

This is actually a bike shed design, but I think it could easily be adapted to your ATV’s measurements.

Is Building Your Own Shed Worth It?

This depends on the kind of person you are and your priorities. If you enjoy building stuff around the house, then making your own shed from scratch will most likely be a relaxing activity for you. Considering that if you make a simple design you only need a few tools to get to work, I think it’s worth it.

This idea is also great for people looking to save a little bit of money for other ATV accessories such as a snowplow or an ATV rack. Building your own shed can be quite inexpensive compared to buying one that is already assembled. Whether you prefer getting a shed building kit online or you’d rather all the materials yourself, this will still be the cheaper option.

If you decide you don’t have enough time on your hands and budget is not a big issue for you, then you can just buy a brand new ATV shed and call it a day.

For people that are neither handy nor have a big budget on their hands, I would recommend a tarp ATV shed. The price for a tarp covered shed varies from $80 to $150, so the investment for one of these is not as large as other storage options.
