When it comes to adding a shed to your backyard, the decision between a prebuilt structure and onsite construction can seem simple at first glance. After all, having a prebuilt shed delivered fully assembled sounds convenient, right? But for many homeowners, this “convenience” can lead to unexpected problems and added stress. That's why at Urban Sheds, we focus on building every shed onsite, ensuring a hassle-free experience and a higher-quality structure for your property.
Here are a few key reasons why onsite shed construction is the better choice:
1. Avoid Heavy Equipment Damage to Your Yard
One of the biggest challenges with prebuilt sheds is the delivery process. Getting a fully assembled structure into your backyard requires heavy machinery like trucks and cranes. These vehicles often leave behind deep ruts, damaged grass, and in worst cases, can get stuck if the ground is too soft.
Onsite shed construction eliminates the need for large trucks or cranes. Since everything is built piece-by-piece in your yard, there’s no need to bring heavy equipment across your lawn, leaving your yard intact and free from unnecessary damage.
2. Accessible for Any Backyard
Not every backyard is easy to access. Tight gates, narrow side yards, and challenging landscaping can make it impossible for trucks to deliver a prebuilt shed. In these situations, some homeowners are left with no option but to dismantle part of their fence or take down trees—costly and time-consuming tasks that add unnecessary frustration to the project.
With onsite construction, access isn’t an issue. Our team can navigate through narrow spaces or tricky layouts, bringing all the necessary materials by hand if needed. We build the shed right where it’s going to live, regardless of how accessible your yard is.
3. Customized to Your Yard’s Specific Needs
Prebuilt sheds are often mass-produced and designed for flat, ideal surfaces. But most backyards have slopes, bumps, or uneven ground that can make placing a prebuilt structure difficult. A shed that’s not properly leveled can cause doors to stick, windows to warp, and could shorten the lifespan of the building.
At Urban Sheds, we build sheds that are customized to fit your yard's unique landscape. Our onsite construction allows us to adjust the foundation and level the structure perfectly, ensuring your shed lasts for years to come without any issues.
4. Tailored Designs and Personalization
When you choose a prefab shed, your options are usually limited to a handful of standard designs and sizes. But if you're looking for something tailored to your specific style or needs, onsite construction offers unmatched flexibility. Whether you want custom windows, doors, roofing options, or even specific interior features, onsite building allows for these personal touches.
Urban Sheds specializes in creating custom sheds that not only fit your space but match your vision. With onsite construction, we can adjust details on the spot, giving you the perfect structure for your property.
5. Higher Quality Control
When sheds are built in a factory, assembly-line efficiency is prioritized over individual craftsmanship. Mistakes can easily be missed, and your shed might arrive with defects or flaws that aren't noticeable until it’s too late.
By building onsite, our craftsmen can focus on each detail of the shed as it comes together. We maintain strict quality control throughout the entire process, ensuring a solid, durable structure that meets our high standards.
