The vinyl siding is one of the most popular sidings because it requires minimal maintenance. The vinyl siding profiles a 4″ double Dutch lap, so you’ll be ensured that your shed will last for many years

Small Storage Shed Builders

Finding the builder who will be constructing your small shed is simple; you can look online through others who have purchased a small shed locally or even drive by a lot. Whichever you may decide on, make sure the builder is known and trusted in the area. Checking reviews is a valuable tool that consumers can use to determine a company’s honesty and business with people.

Our Story

Jay Yoder knew from the very beginning that he wanted to change the game. He wasn’t happy with how far many shed retailers had gone down the path toward impersonality, treating customers only as potential purchases. So Jay resolved to create an experience where he could interact with customers and give them a truly personal interaction – even up until they left his store and went back home.

It was also Jay’s goal to build structures the right way. This meant no cutting corners and using nothing but top-quality materials during construction. This dedication to quality still shows today in NuHaus Outdoors sheds’ proprietary material, LuxGuard, as well as Techshield radiant-barrier panels, and the sturdiest wood floors in the industry. All of these improvements mean a superior product on completion.

NuHaus Outdoors can provide a better quality shed because we build them ourselves. We also offer short lead times and easy customization on any of our structures, so you never have to deal with the middleman for your transaction.
