How to light a shed – for security and style in your yard

A shed with fairy lights .

A garden shed is the unsung hero of any yard. It's a perfect solution for storage and potting seeds, and keeps the noise of DIY projects away from the house. Sheds are so low-profile that it's easy to forget they're even there, and leave them out of your garden lighting plans.

However, keeping your shed in the dark can be an issue. It's a security risk that makes your shed an attractive target for intruders. On top of that, it can hamper your garden's style, leaving a dark, unlit corner of the yard that stands out against the rest of your lighting scheme.
