JULY MONTHLY FEATURES

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.

MAY MONTHLY FEATURES


DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know our floors are so innovative and durable, they set us apart? Tuff Shed revolutionized the shed industry by incorporating 2"x6" hot-dipped galvanized steel floor joists, ensuring the building's solid foundation for years to come. And the best part is, it comes standard on any Sundance Series shed.

And if it's durability you're interested in, add our treated floor decking upgrade. This is a sturdy 3/4" thick tongue and groove material that is fastened on top of the steel joists. Developed during years of research by Louisiana Pacific, this floor decking is treated with a revolutionary, environmentally-friendly borate to resist insect and moisture damage, and comes with a high-tech resin overlay that looks great, adds traction and eliminates splinters. And at just $1 per square foot, adding this innovative material to any TUFF SHED storage building is a no-brainer.

Stomp on it and FEEL the strength!



WE'VE GOT A BUILDING FOR THAT

Get your tickets! Check out this 8’x10’ Sundance Series TR-700 shed used as a ticket booth at the Pike in Long Beach, CA.

Customers step up to this Tuff Shed building to book their fare on this California version of an authentic Italian gondola ride.

APRIL MONTHLY FEATURES


DID YOU KNOW?

Want to add a little natural light to the inside and curb appeal to the outside of your Tuff Shed building? Check out our decorative door upgrade that includes a tempered glass, in-the-door window plus wainscot trim.

Our standard shed door is already legendary in quality...and now you can upgrade the look of your Tuff Shed storage building with a door that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

In the past, customers had to select a skylight if they wanted natural light in their shed but were concerned that adding a traditional window would create a security concern. So Tuff Shed introduced transom windows in 2013. They were a big hit, and the in-the-door transom window is the latest in this window evolution.

And the best part is this upgrade can be added to any single 4' door or double 3'doors (double door sold separately) for just $129 per existing single door or $179 per existing double door! 


WE HAVE A BUILDING FOR THAT


Score big with a Tuff Shed garage! From the simple (like a detached, single car Sundance garage) to the complex (like this 12'x26' perfectly matched, custom variety), we have a garage to meet every need.  

Need some extra space to store your toys? A garage is one addition to your home that will provide added storage and protect your vehicles. Like all TUFF SHED buildings, our garages are designed so they can be customized with optional accessories. We give you the ability to add optional upgrades, from the simple and standard (i.e. paint or ventilation) to the more complex or custom (i.e. roof pitch, or siding type).

MARCH MONTHLY FEATURES




DID YOU KNOW?

Most of our customers can envision the stuff that they will store in their Tuff Shed. But did you know that every Tuff Shed building is also a blank canvas? While we don’t actually finish out the interior of our buildings, this interior space can be a DIY dream. We’ve seen customers finish their buildings as an art studio, man cave, hobby shop, writer’s retreat or home office. And the best part is, The Home Depot is THE place to start. Have a project in mind? Add insulation, drywall, lighting, flooring and furniture to turn your Tuff Shed building into your own backyard getaway.

Here’s an example…these photos show a Tuff Shed building that was finished out with simple touches with products available at The Home Depot. Tuff Shed and The Home Depot…just imagine the possibilities!

FEBRUARY MONTHLY FEATURES


DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that every TUFF SHED building is made with love? And since February is the month of love, we thought we'd share with you how much love goes into each storage building and garage that we make:

  • Every Tuff Shed building is made out of quality materials. Our buildings feature patented steel-reinforced doors, a heavy-duty floor decking and roofing system, treated LP® SmartSide® engineered siding, and beefed up wall framing.
  • Tuff Shed buildings can also be completely customized to fit your needs. Do you want a building size we don’t show? Walls that are a little taller? Living quarters over the garage? French-doors? Windows that fold open for selling concessions? We can do it. With our in-house engineering department, expert sales consultants, and trained installers, Tuff Shed can handle just about any kind customization.
  • I am here to help you design and price your building.
  • Our building components are pre-fabricated in our local factories to exacting standards. On-site assembly is included in the price of your Tuff Shed building. For no extra charge our authorized installers will assemble your building exactly where you want it, when you want it.
  • Our straightforward warranties are designed to give you peace of mind. Tuff Shed stands behind its products, and offers 5-Year Warranties on workmanship and materials on our Sundance Series sheds and garages. Even our entry level Keystone Series sheds come covered with a 1-Year warranty.


WE HAVE A BUILDING FOR THAT

Do you need more storage space but just don't have the room in your backyard for a building? A lean-to could be the perfect solution. With a roof peak along one of the sidewalls instead of the center of the building, a lean-to is a great option when you want to place a building right beside an existing structure.

Our new Sundance Lean-To model offers a wider variety of sizes and prices. Its single slope roof and overall dimensions are designed to fit into variety of spaces, with sizes ranging from 4'x8’ to 8'x24'. Like all Tuff Shed buildings, the Sundance Lean-To is constructed with high-quality materials and is customizable with sizes, options and upgrades that can help make this the storage building you’ve always wanted.
