DIY Sheds

Metal sheds rust. Plastic sheds fade in the sun and warp. Wood stands the test of time and nature. A wooden shed is also easier to make your own. You can paint it any color you want. You can add windows and skylights. You can easily mount shelves and other fixtures on the interior walls. If you want to get organized, a wood shed gives you the adaptability you need for very precise storage or workspace needs. When it comes to harsh weather, wood has several advantages. Our siding will withstand hail. Good luck with that flimsy metal shed in a hailstorm. A good strong wind or heavy snow load can often collapse a metal or plastic shed. A Heartland shed will stand up to extreme wind storms. Extreme heat can fade and in some cases even warp a plastic shed. A wood storage shed can take the heat.

Heartland builds carries classic gable sheds, modern lean-to style sheds, workshop style tack room or ranch sheds, barn style gambrel sheds, smaller garden sheds, and even big buildings with 2 floors and up to 6160 cubic feet of storage. The way you plan to use your shed will impact how many square feet of floor space you need and also how you accessorize.

A gambrel style barn shed, because of the steep slope of the lower portion of the roof, offers considerably more overhead space for needed headroom or additional storage compared to a classic gable style shed.

A ranch style shed is a great option if you plan to do work inside. The position of the door and the additional window for extra light are key features.

A modern style shed, beyond its visual appeal, offers a few advantages. First, the higher front, door side, wall height is a plus for ease of access and headroom. Second, is that the modern roof style is very effective at water shedding which prevents pooling of water and moisture damage. Last, but not least, windows on the tall front side wall of the modern shed significantly increases the amount of natural light entering the space.
