BUILDING OF THE MONTH

This is a custom 8x16 Sundance Lean-To out of Boise, Idaho. This customer needed to match the cedar siding, metal roof, 9-lite door upgrade and custom roof line of his garage. He also needed the building to withstand a 150 pound mountain snow load, and provide enough space to work on (and store) his bikes and snow sports equipment. He nailed it with this custom Sundance Lean-to.

ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL

At Tuff Shed we know that one size doesn't fit all. That's why we offer several different building sizes to accommodate every need. Here are some helpful building ideas, important details and special offers from Tuff Shed and The Home Depot that might help you determine how big or how small to go when choosing your Tuff Shed building.

August Inspiration

We recently had a customer in San Antonio, Texas send us a time lapse video of his Tuff Shed, an 8x10 SR-600, being constructed. The customer wanted a shed that would last him the next 20+ years; a shed he wouldn’t have to worry about replacing it any time soon.

This model, the SR-600, has a plethora of awesome standard features like endwall door placement, 4” block sidewall eaves, and a 6” tall galvanized steel foundation. No wonder it’s our most popular ranch style storage building.

You can see our customer’s full time lapse video here. 

One Great Backyard Retreat

Last month we told you about Kristen Witby, a nationally known blogger, and how she joined the She-Shed club. Here is the first look at her new Sundance Series TR-700.

Right away you can see the benefits from her having custom Dutch double doors that immediately give her shed a warm welcoming feeling. Kristen wanted to go for that “not-so-small” look, and her upgraded roof pitch definitely opens up the room to give it a spacious feel. Last but certainly not least, the three transom windows she added gives her shed great natural lighting. For a first time She-Shedder, Kristen has really turned this into a great backyard retreat!

Shed of the Month

Here at Tuff Shed we pride ourselves on our quality construction techniques and our ability to build just about anywhere. Take for example this custom TR-700 built for a customer at 8,500 feet in Fairview Canyon, Utah. The customer needed a building that could handle heavy snow loads in the winter so our Salt Lake City team constructed this great looking building that includes reinforced roof and floors and a metal roof, which will soon be available as a standard option. Do you have a custom project in mind? Give us a call at 888-883-3743 or email us at homedepotsales@tuffshed.com and we’ll be happy to help!

An Inspirational DIY Blogger Joins the She-Shed Club

Social media sensation Kristen Witby, most known for her DIY blog www.ellaclaireinspired.com has joined the She-Shed club with her new Tuff Shed. For a woman whose passion is making her home a lovely and inspirational place, we can’t wait to see what she does with her new Sundance Series TR-700.

From the photo we can see that she has added a few optional upgrades to her building. Above the door, we can see that Kristen has added three transom windows. The natural light from these windows, and the upgraded roof pitch on the building, will open up this building for that not-so-small feeling. To finish it off in style we can also see that an end-wall eave upgrade is being installed. It’s a cosmetic finish that really just makes the perfect finishing touch.

JUNE MONTHLY FEATURES

Better Doors

The door is the most important moving part on any shed. We’ve gone to great lengths to make the Tuff Shed door better than any other shed door on the market. It’s better because it’s chock full of unique features that provide the benefits our customers love.

•  The large, 4-foot wide design makes it easy to get items in and out of the shed. And the 6-foot wide double door upgrade provides an even wider entrance, perfect for larger items like riding lawn mowers or wheelbarrows.
• The steel-reinforced design is wrapped with wood on both sides, keeping the door from warping or twisting. We’re proud that our door avoids this common fault of so many other shed doors on the market.
•  The rugged, locking door handle provides extra security. The ergonomic design makes the handle easy to operate. The safety latch inside means you can’t get locked in the building.
• Ultra heavy-duty hinges are rated at 500 lbs. each!  With three of these sturdy hinges, each Tuff Shed door closes tightly and won’t sag.  

Garage of the Month

The same devotion to quality construction that goes into our storage buildings also goes into every Tuff Shed garage. Just recently, we began servicing customers in The Home Depot’s home city of Atlanta, and already we’ve installed our first garage for a customer there.  Here are a couple of photos of that garage showing the 20' x 28’ Sundance Series model during and after installation.
