Our lead time can vary throughout the year depending on our current work-load. In general, our build time in the winter is much quicker than the build time in the spring or summer. For a fully finished interior cabin the lead time will be longer than a normal shed or “shell only” cabin. Contact us today to get a current estimate.

The most common is 5 feet. It varies so much depending on where you live, so it’s best to check with your HOA, zoning, or city before making a purchase.

Most times it does not. It depends on where you live, but usually it can as it is seen as a home improvement. However, it is best to check with your city or zoning to be sure as size may affect that.

Unless the shed has a foundation, it doesn’t usually add value to the home.

Yes, a toilet is certainly an option in a shed. You can either run water and drainage to the shed, or use a waterless composting toilet.

Yes, electricity in a shed can be of great benefit and it is relatively easy to put in. A basic electrical package is super low cost as well!

Most times this is possible. The HOA or your municipality office likely will have guidelines and rules about the placement of a shed in the yard as each place is different.

Your shed should be positioned in a convenient location to make use of the items in the shed easily accessible. Also, be sure that it is positioned in a well drained area so you don’t run into moisture problems down the road.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have two buildings from Countryside Barns on my property.  The first one is a lofted garden shed purchased a delivered in 2016.  The second is a garage purchased in 2023.  The second was originally going to be a small 8’X12’ garden shed.  Due to a variance requirement with the city, I was not able to place the small garden shed in the respectable place I selected on my property.  Countryside Barns was understanding, I put a halt on the order 6 days after placing it.  Thank you, Jessica!  I selected a new location on my property and was able to go bigger 14’X32’.  I also decided to go with a portable garage vs a garden shed.  With a copy of the approved permit and my down payment I signed the contract.  With both buildings I have had a few issues but they were taken care of. EDIT: Photos are from months later, they did not install rock, landscaping, gutters, concrete, or electrical.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommended. Our new shed fits nicely with our renovated space and looks great. The design process was easy and ended up being just what we wanted.  I appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail, and we are sure to get many years of use out of it.  It’s great to work with local businesses.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both the product and the installation process exceeded all expectations! Everything was done exactly when they said it would be, and the quality of construction is exceptional. Patrick made the delivery and checked leveling very carefully and even took the time to add a couple bumpers to the door and touch up paint on the base or at a tiny scratch from installation. This shed is certainly built to last!
