The Ultimate Guide To Buying A New Storage Shed
How To Find The Perfect Storage Shed?
There are so many factors to consider when buying an outdoor storage shed — from price and construction material to design style and wall and siding material. Better Built Barns is here to make that decision a bit easier. We sell wood storage sheds in all sorts of different sizes, colors, and more, and that are designed to last for the long-run.
#1: Price
We don’t make the least expensive storage sheds around, but that’s because we’re not just throwing something together with low-quality materials and builds. Price is an important factor, but it shouldn’t be your sole factor. Outdoor storage sheds made from higher-quality material and more solid construction may cost a few hundred dollars more than the cheaper options, but they are usually a smart investment. To get the most bang for your buck, choose a simple, well-built shed with minimal extra design features — focusing on quality and simplicity is a good place to start.
#2: Design Considerations
What do you want your outdoor shed to look like? The appearance of the shed, after all, is nearly as important as its actual functionality. Think about — would you like to look out at your backyard everyday and see a design that doesn’t complement your home, or would you rather have one with a design style that blends right in? Some of Better Built Barns’ most popular shed designs include:
Gable-Style Shed
The Gable is a simple, minimalist storage shed that is highly customizable to suit your needs.
Country Barn-Style Shed
When you need a blend of value and functionality, the Country Barn shed by Better Built Barns is an ideal solution. It has traditional styling and looks great on most types of property.
Courtyard-Style Shed
For a more modern aesthetic the Courtyard shed is a stylized version of the “Salt Box” design. It is an affordable, highly customizable wooden shed that will be able to meet your needs for years to come.
Heritage-Style Shed
This is one of our earliest designs, and it’s excellent as not only a shed, but also for an out-of-home office or hobby room as well. It’s still one of our best-selling sheds today!

What Our Customers Are Saying...
“I Wanted To Take A Minute To Compliment Your Company On The Professionalism Of Your Installer’s.
Bruce and Brian both arrived at my home around 11:30 this morning. They immediately started unloading the truck with the materials to build the shed and, to my amazement, were completely done and provided me with copies of the warranty and Product Care information by 4:00 the same afternoon! These two guys are not “loafers”. In my younger years, I built log homes with my brother-in-law, and I thought we were amazing at how much we could get done in an 8 hour day. Bruce and Brian could have stayed up with both of us with no problem.”
