You Won't Ever Believe What "Amish Built" Really Means!

It means we build great sheds that last... and we get up early to get them out.  

We use a variety of time-honored methods in constructing new buildings. For example, use a timber-frame technique in which beams are assembled using wooden pegs, or mortise and tenon joints, which have been used successfully by woodworkers for centuries. These methods result in very durable, long-lasting structures that are designed to last for decades.

Another advantage to using more traditional methods of building is the elimination of planned obsolescence. Planned obsolescence involves the development of products in such a way that they deteriorate or become obsolete over time. This process ensures consumers purchase new goods much sooner than they would have otherwise. 

We don't think creating a product only to become obsolete is a good way to do business. So, we make sure to only use the highest quality products and knowledgeable craftsmen to build your shed, garage, or chicken coop to last. 
We have had customers that have had a shed they built with us for over 20 years! We have even had structures withhold hurricanes! That's the kind of quality we like to stand by. 

We Get Up Early

We are up early to get to work. You can come by our office at 7:30 and the guys will already be working on the structures we are building for the next shipment. We've been constructing structures for 40 years, now! We wan to be sure that our structures stay intact for future generations. Rest assured, your structure has been constructed to the highest possible standards.

As you can see, there are plenty of advantages to Amish built sheds. To see some of the latest styles we have available, contact us.

Shed Styles and What They Can Do For You


When most people think of garden sheds, they tend to think of simple structures with four walls and a roof and nothing more. The truth is that garden sheds come in many different styles, which is why we would like to provide information about some of the most common ones.


  • Quaker shed- Is sloped on one side, with the eaves normally being higher in the front, allowing for placement against a fence or the exterior wall of your home. Pent sheds are ideal for use as potting sheds or paint lockers.


  • Dutch barn and mini-barn-These sheds are named because they somewhat resemble a larger barn, and tend to have double doors that also open halfway. They are also characterized by their gambrel roofs, which allow for added storage space in the loft of the building. These storage sheds make perfect workshops or homes for small animals.


  • Dormer- Are characterized by their dormers in the roof that are typically placed between two windows on the lower level. Cape Cod sheds look like miniature versions of similar-styled houses, and make excellent workshops.



  • Hywall-These sheds have a relatively high profile that is characterized by a roof that is  higher than usual on the sides. These sheds are ideal for storing garden tools and lawn equipment.



  • Garden Elite-Designed to look like rustic cabins or small houses, these cottage-style sheds may even contain many of the same features a home does such as window boxes or transoms


    . These sheds are great for use as a home office, guest quarters or entertaining space.
These are just a few of the different styles of garden shed that are available. To see some of the latest ones, contact us.
