The Garden Shed - Storage Meets Natural Light
The Garden Shed works well for gardeners who want their tools and supplies within reach of the beds, not stored across the yard. Extra windows and a side-wall door keep the space bright and easy to work from.
Every Prairie Built Barns structure can be delivered fully assembled and set on your property or built on site. We use premium materials, which can include LP SmartSide® engineered siding, pressure-treated skids, and quality flooring, to build structures that stand strong with minimal maintenance.

Imagine the Possibilities
Potting & Seed Starting
This charming design looks right at home among flower beds and landscaped yards. Consider adding a workbench or shelving to keep all your gardening tools, pots, soil, and seasonal supplies neatly organized.
Tools, Hoses & Fertilizer
Shovels, rakes, hose reels, and bagged amendments get hung and shelved where you use them, steps from the beds rather than across the yard.
Mower & Wheelbarrow Parking
The double wood doors take a push mower or a loaded wheelbarrow straight in, so the working equipment lives with the working supplies.
A Quiet Corner of the Yard
Finished inside with a chair and a table, the Garden Shed works just as well as a quiet retreat, no structural changes needed.
Everyday Backyard Storage
Patio cushions, lawn games, sports equipment, and the seasonal things that clutter a garage all fit, in a building that suits the yard it sits in.
The Garden Shed - Available Sizes
The Garden Shed comes in 25 standard sizes, from compact to roomier configurations with serious capacity. Every size features the same high-quality Prairie Built Barns construction. The listed price includes an extensive warranty, free delivery, and setup within 50 miles of your dealer.

Also Known As
You may see this style called a potting shed, A-frame garden shed, gable garden shed, cottage garden shed, garden ranch, or side-entry garden shed. The names vary, but the idea is the same: storage that looks like it belongs in the yard. Work among your plants in a space full of light. The Garden Shed takes our dependable gable-roof Utility Shed and adds windows and side-wall door placement, turning a storage building into a bright, welcoming garden hub.
