Shed Builder

Amish-built sheds, from an 8 × 10 storage shed or a greenhouse to a long off-grid camp. Start from a version, then change the size, porch, roof, windows and colors; open it up to see the stove, sink and TV wall, or walk through it.

Your shed

Conceptual visualization. Not for construction. Final design, code compliance and permits by a licensed architect or engineer.

Built off site

Amish long sheds come to the lot finished, on treated skids, with a metal roof. A porch is usually built into the front of the shed under the main roof; a long side porch adds a lean-to along the farm side.

Camp-ready inside

For a livable camp: insulated 2×4 walls with pine paneling, a spot for a wood stove with its hearth and chimney, a TV wall, and a hand-pumped sink drawing from the well.

Look before you order

Try the size and porch against how you'll use it, share a link to the design, then take the final layout to the builder and a licensed professional.
