The Shed Center builds all the standard shed styles and specializes in custom builds as much as possible. A few years ago, manager Joe Gish decided to build a few small caboose sheds. Although many customers liked the looks, only a few sold. In essence, they were a successful failure, so last year, he drew up plans for a more actual size caboose to finish out as an office and transport it around to home shows, fairs, and events as an attraction. They call it “Cubby” and it is 10’x30′. The bar/desk was made to simulate a locomotive. The interior walls are cedar slats (368) attached to painted plywood. In the corner of the living room is a Vermont Castings “Aspen” wood stove and Tenedos “California Gold” wall stone. It’s fun to see the kids drag their parents into the caboose when the parents would probably have never given a shed display a second look.

SPECS:

Sizes: 8’x12′ and 8’x20′

Siding options: Dutch cove, board and batten, cedar shakes

Stain: Semi-transparent or solid color with customer’s choice of trim color

Plastic: Nanolux

Hinges/Hardware: Apple Outdoor Supply, purchased from a local business 

Shakes: Sourced locally from an old farmer’s shingle shop in Brasher Falls, New York. 

Lumber: The owner has a cable skidder and Wood-Mizer sawmill, so he sources all lumber himself from a local woodlot.

Our Gothic arch greenhouses were originally built as a low-overhead item to allow us to keep building through the winter. Frames could be made without plastic and stored outside. After a conversation with a shed retailer in Vermont, we changed some things, and it really improved the look of the buildings. This combination of aesthetics and function helped us to quickly gain traction, selling more and more every year. I currently work with wholesalers along the East Cost and am always looking to expand sales.

SPECS:

Sizes: 9′ to 45′ dia.

Structure: Steel with fabricated steel posts positioned approximately every 9′ around the perimeter

Foundation: Concrete pad with 5/8″ wedge anchors to anchor the posts

The grain bin gazebo is an emerging market and is a great way for clients to add a touch of country to a backyard. The gazebos offer a plethora of uses: backyard retreat, BBQ shack, Info booth, wedding venue, event centers, and more. They can be left entirely open around the bottom or have a ring installed around the bottom. An entire side can also be closed off if additional protection from the wind is needed. The Golden Grain kits are specifically designed to be used as gazebos. (Retrofitting a standard grain as a gazebo isn’t recommended, as grain bins are designed to get their strength from using all the panels). They feature a bin panel with a trapezoidal design to provide superior strength to withstand higher winds

During the pandemic, anesthesiologist Dr. Diane B. Gill opened her home to traveling medical personnel who needed a place to stay while treating patients suffering from COVID-19 in Chico, California, and the surrounding communities. The residence features two 45-panel, 27.9 KW residential double carports on site to supplement the power required to run the 4,896 sq. ft. home and its amenities. Solar Carports Direct, based in Cottonwood, California, installed the carport system using S-5! clamps to secure the solar panels to the carport structures. S-5! provided Solar Carports Direct with a unique, innovative custom mounting solution, specifically designed, engineered, and tested for their carport systems.

This 24’x24′ structure is neatly tucked away on a property that sits right next to the waters of Painted Hills Lake near Martinsville, Indiana. The building serves as a woodworking shop/remote office. Mr. Meyers visited Graber Post Buildings in Montgomery, Indiana, with a vision of creating a building with a smaller footprint that will still allow him to complete the hobbies he enjoys as well provide an office to get out of the home on remote work days. He was able to that and more with this 1,128 sq. ft. building. He was also able to add this custom deck out the front to take in the views of the beautiful lake.

The owners of this building had a small older barn that needed to be replaced in the location of this new one. A lot of design decisions were made with the idea of having a classic barn style so as to not lose the feeling of the old barn on the property. Going with the vertical board and batten siding, cupolas, custom overlay door, and including a sliding door in the design were all selected to mimic the previous building while providing a beautiful, updated version. The 5’x5′ window in the front gable of the building is a feature that allows ample light into the main section of the building.

This post-frame building comprises a two-bay garage linked by a breezeway, housing a lower-level art studio and hobby area, while the upper-level loft boasts offices and a gaming zone. Initially, the client approached Remuda with an old Quonset building that required demolition, expressing a desire for an upgraded space. Although uncertain about specifics, they knew they needed additional room for hobbies, contemplating either renovating their existing home or erecting new structures. Ultimately, the family collaborated with Remuda to construct three distinct buildings: a customized 4,900 sq. ft. garage and hobby workshop, a custom 1,440 sq. ft. barn, and a 252 sq. ft. shed.

We set out to create an economical building option that had the same quality as our other portable buildings, and we did it. We use the same floor systems that are in all of our buildings but were able to find ways to cut some costs to build at a lower price while still maintaining our quality.
