Top Shed Styles & Features [Infographic]

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!

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.

Your shed is for you and your home. So, ensure that it’s solving your purpose.
