|

|

|
Board and Batten ShedBoard and batten sheds have a rustic look you need if you want your Urban Shed to blend nicely with the natural environment. It’s a popular choice for homeowners looking for a safe and secure outdoor space but have to work with a limited budget. |
Available Styles
|
Modern/ContemporaryWith this style shed, you can make a statement. Create a masterpiece in your backyard, and your neighbors will be in awe of your creation. The only limitation is your imagination. |
|
Mid CenturyA Mid Century style shed is perfect for a home office but works just as well if you need more space to store your lawnmower. Pick the features that suit the purpose of your shed, whether you need it to be functional or flamboyant. |
|
Traditional GableGable sheds are the most common sheds you can buy. The gently sloping roof peaks in the middle, and it has an attractive ridge on the top. It looks great alongside any property, and it may be possible to create some attic space. |
|
Lean-toA lean-to-shed is one of the most straightforward styles to build. It is constructed against an already-existing wall, so full construction is not required. They can be made as a freestanding structure but are much more popular attached to your garage, home, or other building. |
|
Side PorchA shed with a side porch is an excellent style if you want to spend your evenings outdoors and don’t want to stress about the weather. It can be used as a backyard rec or game room, or just a chilled place to hang out. |
|
LoftedA lofted shed has that little bit of extra headroom. Not only that, but it also provides you with the perfect place to store your holiday decorations, canoes, and other bulky items you’d rather keep off the floor. |
|
InsulatedIf you plan to use your shed as an extension to your home, it will be a good idea if it’s insulated. It’s quickly done because insulation can be installed between floor and wall joists as the shed is built. |
|
CottageWith a cottage-style shed, you have windows and doors positioned on the eave side instead of the gable end. You can use it as a man cave, pool houser, office, studio, or you can turn your backyard into a getaway. |
|
PortableYou can use a portable shed to meet various needs, including storage, living space, workspace, vehicle parking, and much more. When you’re designing it, think about how you’ll be using your outdoor storage shed and plan accordingly. |
|
LuxuryA shed can be so much more than somewhere to store your lawnmower. If you want a luxury shed, all you have to do is choose the right features, and you can easily create a plush work, play, and relaxation space. |
|
PaintedA vital element of a painted shed is the paint job. Sheds always look good when they’re new, but a few months in the sunshine can change that. Painted sheds add color to your backyard, but the paint is also a protective layer. |
|
