1. Determine Shed Usage
Before you begin planning your shed, it is important to define what you are going to be using your shed for. Do you want to build a warm place for your dogs to sleep? Are you building a playhouse or need a place for your gardening equipment? Maybe you have a classic car that you want a special garage for. If you have something that needs covered, we have a building to cover it!

2. Determine Your Shed Size
Once you determine what you are going to use your shed for and the type of shed you want to build, we need to decide how big your shed will be. Check out the sizes that we have available for you to choose from. Make sure to measure the amount of space you will need and the place you want to put your shed when it is delivered.

EXTERNAL FEATURE
Window Options
Outdoor Options windows come in 18’’ x 27’’, 22” x 36” or 30’’ x 40’’ with screens. We can add them to your shed to match your style and lighting preferences. If you’re looking for a way to fancy up your new shed try grouping windows together in double or triple sets. This is especially nice if you plan to spend some time “working” in the shed. Most of our windows are white aluminum with a grid. They are single pane and single hung with locking slides, so you're not going to win any energy star awards with them but they will get the job done every time.
Roofline Options
We offer gambrel, A-frame, and hip rooflines in several different roof pitches, guaranteed to give your shed the style you are looking for. Gambrel roofs have a barn style look that give maximum storage overhead with plenty of room for loft storage. A-Frame roofs have a traditional gable style construction. If this is the look you want but need the overhead storage space we can extend the side walls and install a steeper pitch roof to make loft storage possible. Hip roofs are all about the look and wall protection with no gable and pitched roof on all four walls; this style is sure to make you the talk of the neighborhood and your house THE go to house for shed ideas. We prefer to install 29GA steel metal roofing but also offer 3 Tab or Architectural grade shingles. We also have a couple of boxed eave options to choose from if you are looking for a way to fancy up your new shed, a nice wide fascia and soffit is sure to keep the neighbors rolling in for a closer look at luxury storage they have only dreamt of.
Vent Options
A gable vent will keep your building cool and fresh with great airflow, making stale, musty storage a thing of the past. All our vents are framed on the inside to create the support needed to ensure years of leak free ventilation. We also trim the outside to match so even this functional feature has great curb appeal. If you want to take your ventilation game to a whole nother level, we can add ridge vents along the peak of the building for maximum airflow.
Door Options
Our sheds come standard with a 4’ insulated fiberglass door with a locking door knob to keep the honest people out or if that’s not big enough can upgrade the same door to 5’ wide. Don’t laugh, honest people come in all sizes; sometimes 5’ is what it takes. We even have 6’ or 8’ double doors for all your BIG stuff but if you’re driving anything in your new shed then a 6’, 8’ or 9’ wide roll-up or garage door is a decision you won’t regret. Just unlatch it and let ‘er fly! Up and out of the way so you can whip your “lawnmower” in and out so easy you might even let your wife give it a try. Come on let’s face it; you don’t want to have to dodge two swinging double doors every time you want to take your “lawnmower’’ out for a spin around the block. We can finish off your wheeling good time with an all aluminum ramp complete with extrude non slip aluminum decking to make building a ramp one less thing on your honey do list.
Siding Options
Whether you want Wood, Steel, Aluminum, Painted, Stained or Hardie Board we can make it happen. Siding isn’t just about the look or the price. We recommend thinking about what kind of maintenance you want to invest into maintaining your shed as part of the decision process. We choose the lowest maintenance options for each type of siding to offer our customers because we know you have better things to do than worry about your shed siding. But the reality is, any wood siding is going to need maintenance and if wood siding is what you (or your wife’s) gotta have, then we will do our best to make it as easy on you as we can. And if that’s not easy enough we can install Hardie Board so you can just tell everyone you're maintaining your shed siding. Don’t worry we won’t tell the in laws about all the free time you have.
4. Choose Your Internal Features
Once you have the external features chosen, it is time to decide what you need to have on the inside. Each shed has different internal features that are unique to their design, but there are some features that all shed have available.

INTERNAL FEATURES
Truss Options
The roof frame is 2’’x 4’’ roll-formed (20 gauge G-90 galvanized) steel rafters on 24’’ centers and are all seated directly in line with a wall stud. Aligning the roof rafters with the wall studs provides the best shed frame support from the top-down, supporting any weight placed on the roof or hung from the rafters all the way to the foundation of the shed. If all that isn’t enough reassurance that we know how to build the mother of all buildings, the roof frame is laid out in a grid pattern with a framework every 24’’ across the pitch in addition to the rafters. This grid creates a very small area that the roof metal has to span giving it extreme strength that is sure to withstand the toughest of storms for years to come; giving you worry free confidence in your new shed.
Venting Options
A gable vent will keep your building cool and fresh making stale, musty storage a thing of the past. We frame our vents and use a louvered style vent to protect your new building from any chance of leaks for years to come.
Loft Options
Lofts are a great place to put that stuff that you don’t really need but just can’t throw it away without suffering the wrath of your better half. Or maybe it's your better half that wants it thrown out and you need a place to put it where only you know where it is. That is, until you need it and then neither of you will know where it is. But seriously, it’s a great way to store stuff up and out of the way so you have all your floor space available for all the activities you have been planning for your new shed. Either way we’ve got lofts in many sizes that can hold all the skeletons you don’t want just laying around the floor of your shed.
Wall Stud Options
The walls are constructed of 2’’x 4’’ roll-formed (20 gauge G-90 galvanized) steel wall studs on 24’’ centers and there is a belt stud running horizontally halfway up the walls around the perimeter to ensure a rock-solid seal on all exterior siding seams and a sturdy frame with undeniable strength to give you endless possibilities for options and layouts for all your storage needs. If you want to upgrade we can put the studs on 16’ centers, pre-punch them for electrical wiring or make them taller so even the big stuff can stand up straight inside.
Flooring Options
Solid 4’’x6’’ Ground Contact Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) skids are notched 1 ½ inch for each 20 gauge Galvanized Steel 2’’x 6’’ floor joist to sit cradled in before being screwed into the skids with 5/16’’x 4’’ lag screws. The floor frame is decked with ¾’’ Tongue and Groove Plywood and screwed to the floor joists. Using ¾’’ Tongue and Groove Plywood instead of ⅝’’ or thinner plywood, is what gives our floors the superior strength you can always expect from Outdoor Options. Screwing in the floor keeps you from having to worry about nails backing out and causing a maintenance issue. Because we know the last thing you want to trip on after a long day is a nail that backed out so we decided to get rid of them all and say, “screw you, nails”!

Think about gates, fences, and trees. Also, think about overhead obstacles like power lines or low hanging limbs. Tight spots and turns are fine. We can handle hills and slopes but some retaining walls will require additional equipment.

Mark any underground obstacles like septic tanks or old stumps and water or electric lines.

If you have to do some clearing and brush burning to get your building where you want it, make sure any ash is removed and there are no hot spots left under your new structure.
You’ve done enough, let us handle it from here.
- We have all the equipment and supplies to handle any situation we have encountered.
