Our Quaker-style sheds complement people who have New England-style homes. These sheds have an overhanging roof in the front, hanging over the windows and doors. The overhand also gives a higher front wall to the shed, giving more vertical height to the shed. This added vertical height offers additional wall space for storage.

There are many different styles of sheds that would make perfect additions to anyone’s home. Jed’s Sheds offers multiple styles of handcrafted custom sheds that are great for any use. Our selection of standard, garden, and economy sheds can have many features added, including ramps, pegboards, cupolas, workbenches, and more. Our sheds also come in an array of vinyl and painted colors, perfect to match the aesthetics of your New Jersey home. Below we have detailed the different styles of sheds we offer to help you decide which will be best for you.
Standard Sheds
Standard sheds focus mainly on durability, functionality, and security. They are more utility-based and are used primarily for long-term storage. The different styles of standard storage sheds we offer are:
Cottage Series
Our Cottage Series sheds are noted for their fresh A-frame look. It is one of our most popular and versatile styles. It complements any backyard style as it matches the most common home designs. With a triangular roof, it has limited overhead storage because of the pitched ceiling.
Dutch Barns
Our Dutch Barn sheds have a gambrel roof that provides extra overhead storage. The overhead loft is great for people who want to store items that they don’t use very often. Often taller than other shed styles, these sheds are reminiscent of the Dutch barns first built in the Netherlands in the 11th century. Sheds in this style are great for people who enjoy traditional country aesthetics.
Quaker Style
Dormer
Our Dormer sheds, also known as Victorian-style sheds, feature a third gable on the roof. This brings in more natural light to the shed and makes it a perfect playhouse for children. The additional gable on the roof maximizes the shed’s interior, creating more usable space for storage depending on its size.
Mini Barn
Our Mini Barn sheds are similar to our Dutch Barn sheds, just smaller. This “Old Reliable” style is one of the first sheds we created, it is perfect for people who want a more affordable country-style shed. These sheds also have a gambrel roof style, giving optimal space to hang tools and equipment on the walls and overhead storage for belongings you store long-term.

This affordable option is very durable, being able to withstand New Jersey’s windy and snowy conditions.

They are supposed to match the aesthetics of your garden and provide functional storage for your gardening tools and supplies.
