One of the best things about Urban Sheds is that we put our clients in total control of the design and creative process—and with our powerful online 3D Shed Design Software you can custom-design your dream shed even if you have absolutely no previous experience! That’s exactly what happened for Scott, who was a first-time buyer with a pretty specific vision of what he was looking for.


“I had been shopping around for several months before finding Urban Sheds," said Scott. “We’ve never owned a shed but desperately needed one as we had been lugging our bicycles up and down our steep cellar steps—not to mention we had no storage space for backyard items like a hammock and lawnmower.” To start, Scott spent some time doing online research and looking at a number of local shed-building companies; he even conducted several site visits to check out some finished products and meet with builders. “We really struggled to find the right combination of quality and value that we were looking for,” said Scott. “After striking out with a few local custom builders and all of the big-box stores we looked at, we ran a few more web searches and were fortunate to find Urban Sheds’ website.” Scott was immediately impressed with both the quality and work ethic at Urban Sheds—and thanks to our 3D Shed Design software, he was able to design his own shed from scratch rather than being forced to purchase a pre-fabricated product or rely on another builder’s design. “The online shed-building software is amazing,” said Scott. “We were able to visualize and test many different configurations, colors and options—all with pricing right there. It’s a very cool experience and something that makes it easy for literally anyone to begin designing and building their perfect shed.” Once the design was complete, Scott sent it to Urban Sheds with a deposit and desired start date and we immediately began scoping out the project. Within just a few weeks, ​we were able to finish the build. “We couldn’t be happier with the entire process,” Scott recalled. “Everything we ordered was customized, from the doors to the ramp to the roof—and Jeremy’s team built a spectacular product that we know will last for many years.” “The best part about working with Urban Sheds is that they connect you with local builders,” Scott added. “It’s really important to us that we’re supporting local, independent businesses—and Jeremy and his team make that easy to do thanks to their talent and professionalism. In fact we were so impressed with the shed that we asked Urban to build a small deck for us later that summer!” Ready to start designing your own dream shed? Access our 3D Configuration Tool today!
