Cook Portable Warehouses

So many across the nation are recreating their traditional office spaces. COVID-19 has forced many of us to work from our home's kitchen tables or a corner in the living room or even just the couch and coffee table. 

If you find yourself needing to work from home long-term, a Cook Portable Warehouse can be easily converted into a home office. Then, you can have a dedicated space for productivity sitting right outside your back door! Check out these 15 other inventive ways to use a Cook building!

No matter where your office is, here are a couple tips to get your space ready for a productive day. 

Quarantine. Quarantine. Quarantine. It’s not fun. It’s necessary. And we all wish we had a little more space for ourselves. Can you relate? 

Here are the 5 moments every introvert stuck at home has wished for a backyard shed as we’ve faced COVID-19. 

There’s a little paradise found on a dead-end street in Kentucky, where a creek runs alongside and a new workshop has just been set up. When everything is in full bloom, his backyard is the perfect spot to work or relax, even though it's near the city. It’s what inspired the name for Chris’s hobby shop, Calming Creek Wookworks. 

You have a variety of storage needs from your bedroom closets to your kitchen pantry. But, many times those locations begin seeing odd items. Your kitchen pantry may have tools and gardening equipment and your bedroom closets are now overrun with Christmas decorations! Or, perhaps you've taken over the spare bedroom with your hobby. So, every time the grand kids come over, you have to put everything away, killing your productivity. 

No matter what your storage need, we can help you find a solution. A place for you to enjoy your hobby instead of setting up and tearing it down every week. A place for you to store your lawn equipment and seasonal decorations. A place for you to keep your home feeling like home instead of a storage den. 

A Cook portable building is a great option and our shed buying process is pretty simple. So, what's your first step? 

We love helping families find more room for their stuff! Across our 14 state service area, our top three buildings sold in 2019 were the Lofted Barn, Utility Shed and our Tool Shed. 

Plus, we introduced 5 NEW shed styles. How did these new shed styles come about? Because we recognized different customer needs and began designing sheds to fit them. For instance, we serve a lot of customers who live in HOA communities or city neighborhoods. Their yards are smaller and their storage space is usually limited. So, the Slim Shed became the perfect solution. It looks like an extension to your home and is conveniently placed in your backyard. 

Below we review what our customers love from shed styles, sizes and custom options. Take a look and let us know when you’re ready to build your shed!

The Cook Difference is defined as the things that elevate us over other portable shed companies. If you haven't visited many shed lots then you may not know this secret yet: Not all portable buildings are equal. That's why we always encourage you to ask a lot of questions before you buy any shed, especially if it's not from us.

So, what makes Cook so different? We don't just build a shed, we build our customers a sturdy blank canvas that will allow them to create the right storage shed, she shed, man cave or workshop that they've been dreaming about. Not only that, but we have warranties and decades of experience to back up our claims that we are the longer lasting option.  

Our team works hard to build the best quality sheds made of materials that will last the test of time. When you talk with a dealer or one of our online sales facilitators, they're all working to find you the right building for your needs. Don't ever settle for a shed that doesn't fit your needs today and three months from now. It's one reason why we encourage the rent-to-own program because it gives you time to determine if your shed is too small or too big for your purposes and backyard. 

Although there are countless advantages when purchasing a Cook building over other portable shed companies, here are the top three benefits of choosing a Cook Portable Warehouse.

Throughout the year and across 14 states, we’ve worked hard to find our customers more room for their stuff. From hobby workshops to she sheds to storage sheds, we’ve been dedicated to helping our customers not just find a shed, but the shed they need. 

And, what a large majority of our customers need is apparently our Lofted Barn. For every 100 Cook customers, 30 are choosing our Lofted Barn option.

Why? Mainly because it offers the most storage space for the square footage it takes up in the backyard. You have the main level for larger equipment and then the loft for additional storage.

As you search for the right shed, you’ll need to make a few decisions: 

If you’re like most American families, you’re utilizing all of your space in the house, garage and shed. But, most aren’t using it efficiently. That means, there’s probably room for improvement for at least one room in your home. 

So, today, we’re tackling space efficiency in your shed. We’ve found 5 space saving techniques that we think are a great edition to just about any shed style. 

Add a pegboard and mark each item’s home. 

You can add a pegboard and in two weeks you’ll be wondering where all of your tools went. So, organize your tools to maximize space on the wall. Then, draw around each item so when you’re done using it, you’ll know exactly where it goes. Every time. Watch our video for more storage ideas below: 

You take pride in your yard during the Summer, but don’t let it stop there. Your yard can become the epitome of holiday cheer. So, even if you’re feeling a little more like Scrooge, at least your yard won’t give it away.
