Whether you're planning to buy a shed next year or sometime within the next couple years, it's never too early to start doing your homework in preparation for your big purchase.
We created an interactive Shed Buying Checklist that maybe just want you need to get the ball rolling. In this checklist, we cover sheds sizes, shed siding, roofing options, and so much more.
We offer 3 styles of sheds: Ranch, High Barn, and Low Barn. The Ranch style is an A-frame building with the primary door located on the side. The High Barn and Low Barn styles combine traditional styling with generous overhead storage space. The roof has two slopes on each side of the ridge with a steeper, lower slope, providing extra headroom.
Each style is available in a variety of sizes. Below is a chart of size options. Which would be best for you?
Often people underestimate how much room items actually take up. We suggest using LP Outdoor Building Solutions' shed size calculator to help you estimate what shed size you should get based on how you want to use it.
Which size best suits your needs?
Shed siding comes in a range of materials, so deciding which one is right for you can be a tough decision. Your choice may depend on your budget, the look you want, or the amount of time you’re willing to put into maintenance.
Which siding material do you like best?
We offer two roofing options. Both are high-quality, fight against natural enemies like sun, rain, wind, moss, and algae, and come in a variety of colors.
Whether you choose a steel roof or shingles, all of our buildings over 120 square feet have a 15-pound layer of felt under the roofing of your choose—this provides extra protection against the weather. To construct the roof, we use OSB roof sheeting instead of plywood because it’s stronger and more durable.
Which roof material do you prefer? Be sure to weigh all the important things to consider when buying a shed that's the perfect fit for you.
All of our storage buildings can be built on-site or delivered to your property. Why would you choose one option over the other? Read on to find out.

Each section is designed to help you choose the ideal storage building—from size, style and siding options to roofing material, add-ons like shutters and window boxes, and upgrades (why go with standard wood doors when you can get fiberglass?).
At the end of the checklist, you'll see a section labeled "Where to Go From Here." You'll find several suggestions—including how to order a catalog and how to get a quote. Choose which option (or options!) is best for you.
