Introducing the Portable Shed Designer

January 18, 2019

Dream. Build. Enjoy.

Are you dreaming about adding a cute little garden shed to your backyard? Or maybe you need a chicken coop or big lofted garden shed for your animals? Either way you came to the right place! At Countryside Barns we strive to provide you with the best quality building that fits your needs perfectly!

We recently release our INCLUSIVE, custom-built Shed Designer App to help you design the shed of your dreams! Follow through the designer step by step to select any options that you would like to add. If at any time you need to go back and make some changes, click the back arrow or the Main Menu button at the top.

Style

First things first, what style of building are you looking for? Do you want loft space for storage, a low profile barn to blend in with your backyard, or a garage to park your antique tractor inside? We have 11 different styles for you to choose from. Once you have the basic style chosen, customize away to make it yours!

Pick from:

  • Lofted Garden Shed
  • Garden Shed
  • Utility
  • Garage
  • Lofted Barn
  • Country Barn
  • Cabin
  • Lofted Cabin
  • Side Porch Cabin
  • Barn
  • Chicken Coop

Size

Next choose any size from a small 8×8 up to a 14×40 and anything in between. If you can’t find a size that suites you, contact us to get pricing on a custom size! If you are having trouble making a decision on the size, try our storage visualizer!

Finish and Color

When it comes to the finish and color of your building, we’ve got many options! If you want to know the benefits of the different siding types that we offer, or just want to know a little more about them see our FAQ page. Once you have selected what type of siding you want choose the color(s) below. If you can’t find the right color contact us to see if we have additional color options that are not listed.

Roof

For the roof take your choice of metal or shingles. And the best part is they are the same price! Choose shingles if you are looking for a dressy look or trying to match your house. Or if you are looking to go maintenance free choose metal. Next pick your color from the selection below.

Doors

Now its time to talk about how you want your shed or cabin to function. Will you need 2 sets of doors? Or maybe a garage door to bring a vehicle or large items in? Drag and drop the door(s) that fit you best onto the layout and place where you want them.

Windows

How many windows do you want on your shed? What sizes of windows? Insulated or non-insulated? Windows let in natural light, so if you don’t plan to run electricity out to your shed be sure to add windows! Drag and drop your choices onto the floorplan layout and then check the 3D view to see how it will look!

Floor

If you would like to upgrade your floor to either heavy duty floor or Advantech flooring, select the corresponding box. If you are planning to insulate your building, we have an option to insulate the floor. Choose between spray foam insulation or double bubble insulation.

Interior Options

If you would like to add shelves or a workbench to your shed, select the length that you would like to have installed. You will be contacted to verify the placement of the shelves or workbench.

Exterior Options

Need to add shutters, flower boxes, ramp(s), or anchors to your building? Select the quantity (and color if applicable) you want to add them to your order.

Storage Visualizer

Use our storage visualizer to picture how you will fill up the shed. Select the storage visualizer tab at the top of the page. Drag and drop the items that you plan to store onto the floor plan layout. Click on the item to rotate 90° and then drag it to the location you plan to store it. If you decide to go back and change your building size or style it keeps your storage items right where they are!

Summary

Once you are done creating your dream shed or cabin and want to save your design, just click on the save button. You will be asked to enter your name, email, and zip code. After entering this information you will receive an email with a link to load your saved design. Return to your design anytime you want to make changes or to purchase your building. When you are ready to make a purchase click the buy button and follow the steps to put in your contact and payment information.
