Unveiling the Hottest Storage Shed Trends for a Clutter-Free Season

From hair to clothing and yes, even home decor, as the years pass, you’ll probably notice styles change with the times. The same is true with sheds and as the trends change, Hometown Sheds adapts as well. We’ve put together a list of the top trends in the shed industry this season.

  1. Make It Your Own. When it comes to your shed, you aren’t just choosing from a few cookie cutter options. Both our wooden and metal sheds are available in a variety of sizes, exterior and trim colors, and interior options, too. You can choose from pegboard, workbenches, shelving, protective flooring, and much, more.
  2. A Place for Everything. Of course, a shed is often used for additional storage, but many individuals are opting to use it for some non-traditional uses, too. Use your shed to create a man cave, complete with TV and workbench of course. Another popular option is a she shed for mom to be used as a gardening hub, craft center, or just a place to kick back and relax. Our sheds have even been used as a roadside fruit stand and home gym.
  3. From the Outside In. Interior storage is key when it comes to your shed, and at Hometown Sheds there’s plenty of that to go around. However, our porch model sheds are more popular than ever. Adding a wraparound or side porch allows you to rock away into the sunset and enjoy those beautiful summer evenings. After first glance, many customers can’t believe these porch models are truly a shed!
  4. Not Just 8-5. Your projects aren’t always during daytime hours, and neither are our sheds. Our electrical package allows you to let the light shine in all hours of the day and night, plug in your tools, watch TV and more. This package is available for both wooden and metal sheds.
  5. Quality Construction. The days of chipping pain, rotting wood and warped boards are a thing of the past. Our wooden sheds are made with both LP Smart Panel and LP LAP siding which not only passes most HOA code, but it also includes a 50-year warranty against any moisture issues or wood boring insects.

While not everything from the past is worth holding onto, one thing that has stood the test of time is the quality construction at Hometown Sheds. Stop by our Hometown Sheds Danville location today and take a look at the “trendy” new sheds we have available for you!

Investing In Storage

At some point in your life, it hits you: you just don’t have quite enough space. When this time comes there are several options that may come to mind, including storage units, or renting. What many individuals don’t realize during this process is that you can invest your monthly payments and own a new shed or building for the same or even less than paying for a storage rental unit.

The Woes of Renting. When you need storage or extra space, convenience plays a huge factor. Renting a self-storage unit may seem easy at the beginning but requires lugging boxes to and from an outside facility and realizing you don’t have what you want when you need it at your fingertips. The changing monthly cost of renting is also a burden, not knowing from month to month what you’ll really pay. What will you have to show for that rental payment in a few weeks, months or even years? Many self storage units offer “first month free” or introductory offers to reel you in but then increase the rates month after month until you find it necessary to pack up and move again.

Investing Wisely. Your money is valuable and at the end of the day you want to be able to have something you’re proud of to show for your payments. That’s why renting to own is a great option to maximize your return on investment. Take that same monthly payment, or often even less, that you’re paying to rent a self-storage unit and turn it into your own shed. Renting to own allows you to spread out the cost of the shed over time, making regular monthly payments that won’t increase as you go. Unlike purchasing a shed outright, there’s no large up-front payment required and even better, NO credit check. Our sale professionals will work with you to create an easy payment plan customized to fit your needs. You can request an early pay off option with no penalty as well.

The Final Outcome. When you step out your back door you’ll smile every time you see your beautiful new storage shed only footsteps away. Hometown Sheds has a wide variety of wooden sheds, metal buildings, garages, and carports to help keep you covered, and your investments secured. When you need storage, but you also need a comfortable payment, step away from renting self-storage and step into ownership with our rent to own program.

Stop by our Danville location today or give us a call to discuss how Hometown Sheds can get you the storage solution you want, with the financing plan you need.

Thinking Outside of The Box: Creating Custom Solutions

Custom Structure

At Hometown Sheds, we are more than sheds – much more. One of our recent projects shows how much we can truly customize storage to meet the needs of your home or in this case, business.

Getting Started. Recently the contractors for Averett University located in Danville, Virginia reached out to our Hometown Sheds Danville location about a custom project that they needed completed. The college was installing a very large evaporative air conditioning unit outside of one of their primary buildings. The contractors needed a structure to keep it covered from the elements and to keep it secured over time. After several meetings with Steve, our Hometown Sheds Danville manager, a plan was put into place.

Bringing It to Life. Once the measurements were taken and plans discussed, the construction began. However, there were a few unique features that needed to be accommodated. First, due to the nature of the system, the covering needed to include an air gap at the top all the way around for ventilation. Second, the framework needed to be constructed so that wires could be run and properly installed around the back of the unit. During several parts of the project plans were adjusted and “tweaked” to accommodate the new system. The steel structure was truly customized to fit the project.

The Finished Project. From the initial meeting to final inspection, the new structure was designed, installed, and finished in around three months. Upon completion, the covering measured 14 x 31 x 20 on one section and around 14x50x10 on another. Our customers were pleased with the final outcome and the new air conditioning unit will stay covered, safe, and secure for many years to come.

When you think of Hometown Sheds, think outside of the box. Of course, we’re here for all of your storage sheds, garages, and buildings, but we’re happy to work with you for all of your custom projects, too. If you have a dream, Hometown Sheds can help you bring it to life. Give us a call today to discuss your next project!

Give The Gift of Play

If you’re watching TV or the mailbox, then you’re likely already seeing holiday ads and toy wish books heading in your home. Instead of another toy, gadget or electronics, many families are choosing to gift experiences and activities. That’s why the playsets from Hometown Sheds are the perfect fit for kids of all ages.

Slide, Climb and Swing Into Fun. As the kids run out the door Christmas morning, they’ll find years’ worth of entertainment. As you custom design your set you’ll be able to choose from slide options, forts, playhouses, tubes, monkey bars, sandboxes, picnic benches, towers, chutes and so much more. Add a fireman’s pole for little Johnnie or lemonade stand for Susie. We’ll even create a custom plaque to add your family’s name, finishing off your investment. This year invest in your kids and invest in outdoor play!

Not Your Average Playset. The playsets that you’ll find at Hometown Sheds are NOT the same quality, materials and construction that you’ll see at many of the big box stores. They are quality crafted, with made in the USA construction and vinyl wrapped treated wood. That means no staining EVER, no warping or rotting from the sun and rain and no exposed wood on any part of the set. Even the brackets are powder coated, preventing peeling and rusting over time. You’ll find stainless steel bolts throughout the construction, and each swing comes with two ground anchors to keep your little ones safe and sound. The ladders include non-slip steps and safety rails and rubber coated swing chains keep little fingers from being pinched.  Canvas tent roofs are a thing of the past. All of the sets at Hometown Sheds include wind resistant poly-lumber roofing.

Delivery & Installation. You have enough to do around the holiday season. Instead of staying up all night Christmas Eve, Hometown Sheds is happy to do the hard work for you. Once we set a delivery date and time, our installation professionals will completely install your new set right down the very last swing, slide and ladder. And did we mention that delivery is free in most areas?

Don’t blink, the holidays will be here and gone in a matter of weeks. We make the holidays simple with pay over time financing, delivery and set up. “Swing” by our Danville location or call us today to get started creating the playset of your family’s dreams.

The Battle of the Steels

When you’re considering a new building, carport or garage, every detail matters. That’s what we make sure to educate our customers on the difference in the types of steel available and how that affects your investment.

Galvalume® Versus Galvanized Steel.

First, it’s important to know your options and recognize that all steel sheds are not created equal.

Both Galvalume® and galvanized steel are coated with a layer of zinc to provide protection against corrosion. This coating creates a barrier between the steel and the outside environment. Zinc is resistant to corrosion which means that it helps prevent rust and other types of corrosion.

Galvalume® is s a type of steel that has been coated with a combination of aluminum and zinc, providing enhanced corrosion resistance. It is applied by using a coating of 55% aluminum, 43.5% zinc, and 1.5% silicon to the steel substrate. The steel is dipped in zinc through a hot dip process, prior to the baked enamel process. This process offers greater heat resistance for your building as well with its reflective properties, allowing the interior of your building to stay cooler.

You’ll often find Galvalume® in areas with extreme high and low temperatures and hurricane zones. It’s more durable than traditional steel lasting up to double the lifetime. Many builders and contractors often prefer it as well because Galvalume® has a unique appearance with a silver-like metallic finish. This is often preferred for architectural and roofing applications.

Details matter when you’re making an investment like a steel building, and so does the steel. The professionals at Hometown Sheds are here to answer any of your building questions. Call us or stop by today to see your options and get started creating the building of your dreams.

Built To Last

creating a building

We know that you have choices when it comes to where you purchase your shed or building. There are many companies and even now, several big box stores who advertise “Sheds For Sale”. So, what’s really the difference in the sheds at Hometown Sheds and other guys? To put it simply, our sheds are built to last.

Handcrafted With You In Mind. Unlike the cookie cutter sheds you’ll often see as you drive down the road, our sheds are custom created to our customer’s specifications. Each shed is handcrafted from the ground up with quality materials in our factory right down the road in Danville, Virginia. Our professionals discuss your needs, wants and wishes and we bring it to life, inch by inch, window by window and door by door. Whether your choose a model that’s on one of our lots or, you custom order your shed, you know with the Hometown Sheds name it will stand the test of time.

The Difference In The Details. As we discuss your many options available to you, you’ll likely hear us say “it’s all about the floors and the doors”. That’s because these are two components that are often created with cost cutting methods at our competitors lots. Our sheds are built locally using 3/4” tongue-in-groove floor decking and 2′ x 6′ floor joists for added support. There’s no need to worry about moisture either. Any part of the Hometown shed that will be in close proximity to the ground is pressure treated to prevent mold, mildew and rot. Our doors are steel framed to make sure there’s not sagging year after year. We even use engineered trusses, something you won’t find with many other companies – an important component considering these are the beams that hold up your roof.

Before you spend another day shopping around, stop by Hometown Sheds and let our local representatives show you the *real* difference and why ours sheds are built to last.
