Homeowners who are in need of extra space – whether it’s for storage, a hobby, entertainment, or something else – are discovering the many benefits of owning an Amish built wood shed. It’s a structure that offers a lot of versatility and long-term value.
Let’s take a look at the different ways an Amish wood shed can be used, its benefits over other types of sheds, and the types of wood siding materials by Lancaster Barns.
Wood Sheds: More Than Just a Storage Solution
With their durability, customizable design, and range of sizes, wooden sheds meet a wide variety of needs beyond storage.
Although basic prebuilt wood sheds can be an excellent choice for storing practically anything, from seasonal items and sports equipment to bikes and utility vehicles, they are also a great choice for other uses.
Workshop Shed
Looking for a workshop shed where you can keep busy with your favorite hobby and enjoy convenient space, organization, and privacy? Our Custom Board & Batten Workshop Shed might be your top choice! Wood siding is available for this type of structure and we offer custom sizes to fit your personal needs.
Wooden Garden Shed
Wooden garden sheds can be used for organizing all your outdoor garden accessories like seeds, pots, garden tools, watering cans, hoses, birdseed, and much more. Our Heritage Lap Quaker Shed with exterior boards crafted of rough-hewn kiln dried white pine is just one option for a wood garden shed.
Woodshop Shed
A woodshop shed is a great multi-purpose structure that can be used for an animal run, feed storage, or wood storage for your outdoor fire pit or indoor fireplace. It features 2”x4” 16” OC framing or timber oak framing and can be finished with paint or stain. Choose your roof pitch, number/location of windows, and other design features, including vents, work benches, and skylights.
Wooden Cabin Shed
Bring the rustic log cabin life to your backyard with an Amish wood shed from Lancaster Barns! We offer a number of products that can be designed to create the ultimate cabin space for rest, relaxation, and gathering with friends and family. Some customer favorites include the Frontier CabinHeritage Cabin, and the A-Frame Pine Log Cabin.
The Benefits of Prefab Wood Sheds
When you invest in a classic wood shed, you’re investing in a high quality structure. Superior materials and craftsmanship ensure that your shed not only looks great but also does its job under various conditions.
Wooden sheds offer longevity that some other shed materials simply can’t match. Buying a shed from a big box store might save you money upfront, but the lower-quality materials mean you’ll likely deal with missing parts and broken components – not to mention you may need to assemble the shed yourself. Its short lifecycle means it’ll be just a few years before your shed is in need of repair or replacement.
With proper maintenance, a quality-built Amish wood shed will last for decades and provide a reliable and attractive addition to your property. Their resilience against wear and tear makes them a smart long-term investment.
Wood Shed Siding Choices
Lancaster Barns offers a number of different siding options for our wood sheds.
Our Board & Batten siding, also known as barn siding, is a traditional vertical siding style that offers a timeless, classic look to any shed. For a real wood feel, we use rough-hewn and kiln-dried white pine.
If a real wood shed is a must, a shed built with our Rough-Cut Wood siding will give you the natural look you want. We offer Rustic and Natural Pine Log siding as well as Heritage Lap siding crafted from rough-hewn kiln-dried pine.
Want to turn your shed aesthetic up a notch? Add stone to the rough cut wood siding for an elevated, beautiful look.
Looking for an engineered lumber siding? Our LP lap siding is a product that’s created to look like real cedar cladding. Its realistic wood grain and durability will keep your structure looking great for decades.
