Small Sheds — Compact DuraMax Storage from Deck Boxes to 7x7 Walk-Ins

The Small Sheds collection at Durasheds includes every DuraMax product designed for compact storage — from 850-liter deck-style storage boxes that fit on a balcony or patio, to true 7x7 walk-in vinyl sheds for full backyard storage. If you've measured your installation space and decided you need under 50 square feet of storage, this collection has 14 products to choose from across three distinct sub-categories.

Every product in this collection is a genuine DuraMax build with fire-retardant vinyl construction (on the sheds), 15-year limited warranty, free shipping with curbside lift-gate delivery automatically included, and Shop Pay financing available at checkout.

Three Categories Within Small Storage — and How to Choose

1. StoreAway Deck Boxes — the Smallest Tier (no walk-in)

The DuraMax StoreAway line is engineered for buyers who need outdoor storage but don't need a building. Compact deck-box-style containers with sealed lids that protect contents from rain, sun, and dust — without taking up shed-sized footprints on the property.

• DuraMax StoreAway 850L — the compact 850-liter (~30 cu ft) storage box. Ideal for patio cushions, garden tools, pool toys, or seasonal items. Perfect for balconies, decks, and apartment patios where a real shed isn't allowed.
• DuraMax StoreAway 1200L Arc Lid — the larger 1200-liter (~42 cu ft) capacity with a curved arc lid that sheds water and adds an architectural profile. Best for buyers wanting maximum capacity in a deck-box format.
• DuraMax StoreAway 1200L Flat Lid — same 1200-liter capacity as the Arc Lid but with a flat lid that doubles as a bench or staging surface. Best for buyers who want extra outdoor seating along with storage.

Choose a StoreAway if you don't have space for a real shed, your installation surface is a deck or patio (not yard), or your storage needs are limited to seasonal/cushion-style items rather than tools and equipment.

2. SideMate and SidePro — Narrow Side-Yard Sheds

The SideMate and SidePro lines solve a specific installation challenge: side-yard strips between a house and fence where standard sheds physically won't fit. Both are designed to "lean up against the side of your home," using narrow installation footprints for real shed-quality storage.

• DuraMax SideMate 4x8 (ivory) — the classic 32-square-foot narrow side-yard shed. Single 30" reversible side door. Foundation kit included. $779 (regularly $849).
• DuraMax SideMate Plus 4x8 (adobe gray) — the same 4x8 SideMate in a modern adobe gray finish for contemporary homes. $799 (regularly $1,099).
• DuraMax SideMate 4x10 (ivory) — the longer 40-square-foot side-yard shed for buyers with more horizontal space to work with. $879 (regularly $1,249).
• DuraMax SideMate Plus 4x10 (adobe gray) — the 4x10 in modern adobe gray finish. $889 (regularly $1,299).
• DuraMax SideMate Plus Pro 10x4 with Double Doors — the premium configuration with wide front double doors instead of a single side door. Easier daily access for high-use installations. $919 (regularly $1,249).
• DuraMax SidePro 10.5 x 2.75 — the narrowest shed in the catalog at just 2.75 feet deep. For installation footprints too tight for any 4-foot SideMate. WoodBridge-series styling. $859 (regularly $1,069).

Choose a SideMate or SidePro if your installation footprint is narrow (under 5 feet deep) but long enough to support an 8-, 10-, or 10.5-foot wide shed. The reversible-door designs let you adapt to your specific side-yard layout.

3. YardMate Plus, StoreMate Plus, and StoreMax Plus — Compact Walk-In Sheds

The compact walk-in tier is for buyers who want full shed functionality (walk-in interior, double doors, real storage capacity) at the smallest possible footprint. These models give you under-50-square-foot floor space but in a configuration that lets you stand inside, organize storage along multiple walls, and use the shed daily.

• DuraMax YardMate Plus 5'6" x 3' Pent — the compact pent-roof shed for apartments, patios, and decks. Wide 53" double doors despite the small 16-sq-ft footprint. Window included. $699 (regularly $799).
• DuraMax YardMate Plus 5'6" x 5'6" — the square apex-roof YardMate Plus, the most popular configuration. 30 sq ft of storage. Modern gray finish. $889 (regularly $1,099).
• DuraMax YardMate Plus 5'6" x 8' — the longer YardMate Plus for narrow side-yard installations with more storage needs. 44 sq ft. Same premium finish. $999 (regularly $1,125).
• DuraMax StoreMate Plus 6x6 with Molded Floor — the true walk-in compact shed with 6-foot interior height, wide 5-foot double doors, galvanized-steel floor supports, and fire-retardant vinyl rated for storing flammable items. 36 sq ft. $929 (regularly $1,299).
• DuraMax StoreMax Plus 7x7 — the largest small-tier walk-in shed. 49 sq ft with wide double doors, 2 vents, 2 door windows, premium two-tone finish. The top of the small-shed range. $939 (regularly $1,299).

Choose a YardMate Plus, StoreMate Plus, or StoreMax Plus if you want walk-in functionality (the ability to physically step inside) in a footprint under 50 square feet. These are the smallest sheds that still function as backyard buildings rather than reach-in storage boxes.

How to Choose Between the Three Small-Shed Sub-Categories

• Pick a StoreAway deck box if your storage needs are limited (cushions, pool toys, seasonal items), you don't have yard space for a real shed, or you're installing on a deck/patio rather than yard.
• Pick a SideMate, SideMate Plus, or SidePro if you have a narrow side-yard installation footprint (under 5 feet deep) and want a real shed for tools, bikes, or general backyard storage.
• Pick a YardMate Plus, StoreMate Plus, or StoreMax Plus if you have a square or rectangular installation footprint with at least 5'6" of depth, and you want walk-in functionality for daily-use storage.
