SHED BUYERS GUIDE
We take storage structures so seriously that we actually consider ourselves storage consultants, rather than a bunch of Amish guys making sheds. And from what our friends tell us; this is the only kind of Shed Buyers Guide out there. Now we sure hope you buy your structure from us, but in all honesty- you can use this same guide no matter where you are-or where you get your shed.
Follow our step by step "How to Design Your Own Shed" guide here and in about 4 minutes, you´ll have all the details we need to give you a guaranteed to the penny quote!
Let´s get you started!
Step 1: What are you using your structure for?
…Read below for some money and frustration saving "Insider Advice" on how to select what size structure
Different Uses for Storage Shed
Basic, traditional Storage
Lawn Mowers, boxes, Holiday Decorations, Files, "The-Kids-Moved-Out-But-Their-Stuff-Didn´t", bikes, toys, grills, lawn and garden stuff… make sure to read below for some money and frustrating insider advice on how to select what size structure.
Some free advice on basic storage
JR Krause our manager at the Hershey-Elizabethtown location suggests you think about an extra set of doors. "I have seen customers who used every square inch of space of their shed-which is brilliant-but the first time they need to get something- Murphy´s Law says that it will be at the very back or your shed. With an extra on the side, you have 2 ways to access your treasures!" Don´t ignore the higher wall space- for a few dollars more; you can design your shed so it has pegboard on the side to store bicycles off the floor.
If you are storing propane for the gas grill, paint or anything that´s flammable- make sure you have plenty of ventilation. End vents and ridge vents will really increase the air circulation inside your storage structure. "I had actually had one customer- a few years back- whose shed burned down because of some self combustible turpentine with rags. He made sure to get venting on the 2nd shed he bought from us."
If you are trying to store bigger toys-just l-consider heavy duty peg board on the side to hang the bulkier items up off the floor. In our Dutch Barns, you can pick up extra space by going with the lofts- with a shelf that´s about 24" high- it´s a great space for less used items like Christmas Decorations.
Storing records? A real straight forward structure can do the trick- but check with us on the insulating options you have to keep the humidity inside low so it will reduce mildew if you are going to be storing records in there for over 5 years.
If you are storing indoor furniture or better outdoor furniture, go with an insulated floor and walls to eliminate any moisture creeping through that could warp and damage your investment. Further reduce moisture by getting circulation going with a few end vents.

Let´s get you started!
Step 1: What are you using your structure for?
- Storage Sheds aren´t just for regular old storage anymore.
- Use your Pine Creek/Belles Springs Shed for basic storage, a children´s playhouse, a small retail store front, pool house/storage, gardening or potting shed, Storage structures also come in 1 car and 2 car garages.
- Storage sheds can also be customized without spending a lot of money for motorcycles, boat storage, classic car storage, ATV storage and utility trailers.
- Our standard storage sheds can double as on property offices, art studios, photography dark rooms, craft rooms, workshops, home gyms and the up and coming "Man Cave."
"Most folks don´t understand that we at Pine Creek/Belles Springs can customize anything. It´s probably because so many other guys-including the big box Home Improvement Stores only offer in stock items," teaches storage expert JR Krause. "If folks can wait a few weeks, they can choose everything on their shed. It´s a lot like building a custom home. We can design the layout, the square footage, the interior, the exterior, the color the style… and what they don´t know is how cheap it can be!" So don´t settle for just a storage shed- make it do double duty! Check the list of possible uses here and get an idea of what you want, not what the other guys are going to give you.

Why a Storage Shed is better than a Rental Unit
Storage Units are a smart way to go-if you are only going to store stuff for up to 3 months. But after you go into the 4th month, you would have been better off to have your own storage unit.
