    Yes, but with no insulation, you are probably going to heat the outside in the winter and cool the outside in the summer.

    Window Units

    If you have a window in your shed, you can install a window unit to cool a small space. You can use an air conditioning size calculator to determine the AC capacity of your shed so you can pick an appropriate unit.

    Depending on the type of window you have, you may have to remove it and replace it with a frame and panel that is more suitable for an AC wall unit. Alternatively, you can hire a contractor to cut a hole below the window for the AC so you can continue to enjoy the view to the outside after the unit is installed.

    If you install the window AC yourself, the unit should come with mounting brackets that you can secure with wood screws. Make sure to seal the edges around the brackets with caulk to prevent water seepage and air leaks.
