Haas Door

This custom shed was built by the homeowner to his own specs so he would have full control of the materials, color, and build. Being in the door business, he wanted the shed to have a sectional door. He said he overbuilds everything and even built the trusses with a steeper roofline than commercially available and with a loft to store duck decoys.

Because he has construction skills, he was able to build it himself (although he did use a professional garage door installer). He also saved money on materials because he had framing lumber and plywood sheeting left over from COVID-19, when he had difficulty getting doors in a timely manner. He had been forced to build temporary enclosures for some projects for which he couldn’t get doors soon enough. “Thankfully, those days are long gone! I pray we never see days like those again,” he said.
