Custom Sheds
We think that sheds should be
beautiful in addition to being an economical way to add storage
space. However, sheds are often bland "mini-barn" eyesores that are
flimsily built. A custom shed can be a focal point that enhances the
appearance of your yard and the value of your property. Here are some of the sheds we've built: |

This Alpine shed includes a second
story that can be used as a fun office or a place to read a good
book, drink coffee, or simply to put your feet up and think. The
four large windows provide plenty of natural illumination. |

This shed is shaped like a lighthouse,
and is approximately 19 feet tall.

A shed that we whimsically named the "Two-by-Four." |

Here is the
side view of the shed. Notice the generous 2-feet overhangs in the
front and rear. These substantially increase storage space in the
two overhead lofts, both of which are just over 6 feet deep
(although they appear much shorter in the photos below, because of
geometric foreshortening). Speaking of lofts, let's step inside this
shed and take a look around. |

Here's an
inside look at the back wall. The shelf spans the width of the shed. |

Here is the
inside of the door when the front section was nearing completion.
Note the gorgeous door that we made from scratch. |

This is
another shed we made with a hand-carved door. The natural-colored
cedar boards spanning either side of the porch area are sawn on
their inner aspects to create the silhouette of an evergreen tree. |

"made from scratch" gable vent that we added after the above

This is a
better photograph of the hand-carved door that we made. We can make
a hand-carved door to beautify your shed or home, creating a design
similar to the one shown, or myriad other possibilities (such as a
deer, moose, bear, dog, cat, bird, cabin, sailboat, sun, snowmobile,
skis, a maple leaf, etc.). Other window sizes and shapes (round,
square, rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, octagonal) are available
in addition to the oval window shown. We can make doors of any width
and height for your home, garage, or shed. Custom brass, copper, or
wrought iron door hardware is available. |

We can design and build a shed of any
style. The possibilities are limited only by our collective
imaginations. For example, consider a garden shed built on a slope
with a main-level deck. Want to double your shed storage space? Add
a walk-out lower level, or a cabin-like loft. Or add both. If you
do, even an 8' x 12' shed can provide about 300 square feet of
storage.
