Planning Your Dream Shed

Before contacting custom shed builders, plan your needs. What will you store?

Garden tools? Lawn equipment? A classic car?

Think about size and style. A small shed might work for basic storage. If you’re planning a workshop, you’ll need something larger.

Understanding Your Build Site

Your build site is crucial to your shed’s design. Is the ground level or sloped? Are there obstacles?

This affects site prep and accessibility. Custom shed builders need access to materials and equipment. Check local building codes and homeowner’s association rules.

We help our clients navigate local building codes and homeowner’s association rules to ensure compliance. Proper site preparation saves time and ensures a seamless build.

Selecting Materials and Design Elements

The materials you choose affect the shed’s durability, appearance, and maintenance requirements. We use high-quality materials like LP SmartSide paneling for siding and pressure-treated wood or galvanized steel for the base, ensuring longevity and resistance to the elements.

Our sheds come with features such as double top plates on all walls, steel-framed doors with keyed latch entry, and decorative black hinges, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.

Roof Styles and Features

The roof design not only influences the shed’s look but also its storage capacity and weather resistance. Our designs include:

  • The Vineyard: Ideal for storing items that don’t require overhead stacking.
  • The Orchard: Offers ample overhead storage for larger items.
  • The Farm: Features a Gambrel roof, maximizing overhead storage space.
  • The Lean-To: A trendy shed with a modern touch, perfect for limited spaces.

  • Doors and Windows: Choose the number, style, and placement to enhance accessibility and natural light.

FAQs about Custom Shed Builders

Is it cheaper to buy a shed or have one built?

Consider your budget and needs. Pre-built sheds are typically more affordable. Custom sheds offer personalization but are more expensive.

Choose the best option for you. Building custom often lets buyers decide many small details during design/build and often has payment options too.

How much does it cost to build a 14×20 shed?

The cost varies based on materials and features. Simple designs might start around $5,000. High-end storage sheds can cost up to $15,000.

What is the average cost to build a 12×16 shed?

The cost of a 12×16 shed also depends on various factors. A basic structure costs between $3,000 and $8,000. Added features or premium materials increase the cost.

What’s the biggest shed without planning permission?

The maximum size without planning permission depends on local ordinances. Check these before finalizing your design. Most areas consider factors like height and square footage.

Some places might have very relaxed building regulations and thus allow rather sizable structures. Other places could severely limit what kind of portable buildings online one may design/order or build oneself from a studio shed to pre-built storage.

Others may severely restrict structure heights, exterior colors allowed, or even enforce style compliance for “neighborhood looks”. Inquire with your city hall or homeowner’s association.
