THE A ROOF SHED
The A-Roof shed is our most economical design with all the standard construction our customers’ trust. It features a 5/12 pitch roof and up to 8’ walls. This building style is great for your basic storage needs. The 5/12 pitch limits ceiling height and potential loft storage but can be easier to cool. This style is available in widths of 8’, 9.5’, 10’, 12’, 14’ and 16’ and lengths from 8’ to 44’.
*Buildings that wider than 9.5’ or longer than 20’ are only available built on your site. Buildings over 256 sq ft come standard with a permanent concrete pier foundation system. All buildings come standard with a double door entryway and a window. You choose their placement. Customize your building with shelves, workbenches, lofts, extra windows, doors, or a garage door. Available in Duratemp, pressure-treated T1-11, vinyl, or Hardie Plank.

Make It Yours
Because every shed is built custom for you there are endless opportunities to make this structure your own. If requested, we can even increase the building’s structural load. Consider the following to make the structure fit your needs.
- Even if your building is not 256 Sq Ft or on sloped grade you can opt for a permanent foundation to enhance the structural integrity of your building. If your structure is on a permanent foundation, you do not pay sales tax on your purchase.
- Add additional doors or windows to change the functionality or bring in more light. We can even use home grade entry doors or insulated windows
- Add a ramp to make it easy to get large or heavy items in and out.
- Add lofts, shelving, or workbenches to fit your needs.
- Cupolas and weathervanes give your outdoor building a unique look.
- Opt for a vinyl, shake, beaded, or Hardie Plank siding that matches or compliments your home or complies with HOA restrictions. We can even special order a specific brand.
- Opt for 2X6 pressure-treated floor joists to increase the load of your floor.
- Choose all pressure treated walls and flood vents to ensure your building stands for years to come in areas prone to heavy flooding (In some areas this is required to comply with flood zone requirements)
