The Utility Shed
The Utility Shed is built for buyers who want maximum floor space without extras. No lofts, no side doors, just a tall, wide-open building that is easy to load, organize, and use from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions About Utility Sheds
A Utility Shed has a traditional gable roof, tall walls, a diamond-plate threshold, and wood doors for straightforward access. Wall and door height vary by size, with a single door on 8-foot-wide models and double doors on wider models.
Permit requirements vary by county and municipality. Generally, structures under 200 sq ft do not require a permit in most jurisdictions, but we always recommend checking with your local zoning office. Our team can provide documentation and specs needed for permit applications in most areas we serve.
Our delivery crews work efficiently to get your building placed and set up shortly after arrival and will call ahead to confirm site readiness. Buildings can be placed directly on the ground or on a prepared surface such as gravel or concrete.
