A '''rake''' can be used to gather up things, like leaves, or spread stuff around, like gravel or manure. It's sort of an outdoor [[broom]]. Probably the most frequent use of rakes at home is to gather up or rake up the leaves in the fall. Different types of rakes may perform best for different kinds of tasks. The more flexible thin tines are usually used for leaf raking, while the fixed teeth, or stiffer bow-type may work better for arranging the soil.

A '''shed''' is one type of freestanding, small, external or "outbuildings". It's frequently used for gardening supplies or equipment used in outdoor activities.

-	{{stub}}	+	==Considerations==
		+	When purchasing or building a shed, some considerations are
		+	* [[size]]
		+	* [[maintenance]]
		+	* [[appearance]]
		+	* your skill level, if you intend to build it
		+	* what you are storing
		+	* neighborhood or city regulations
		+
		+	Depending on what you are storing, you may want hooks or shelving. If you'll be working in the shed, you may want windows and better lighting than if you are just storing items there.
		+
		+	Some neighborhoods or cities have regulation about exterior buildings that may restrict putting up or changing exterior buildings like sheds.
