Q&A

What shed size should I get?

Most people underestimate. We recommend choosing size based on future needs, not just today’s storage.

Are double doors or a roll-up door better?

Depends on use. Roll-up doors are great for equipment access. Double doors work well for general storage and flexibility.

How do windows affect a shed?

Windows improve light and usability but should be planned with security, placement, and weather exposure in mind.

Do I need ventilation?

Usually yes. Ventilation helps reduce moisture buildup and keeps stored items in better condition.

Can you add ramps or steps?

Yes. Access features should match the floor height, your intended use, and drainage/ground conditions at the door.

Can you plan for electrical later?

Yes. We can plan layout and entry points so future electrical additions don’t require rework or awkward retrofits.

Tell us how you’ll use the building—workshop, storage, hobby space—and we’ll help you design it around real life.
