Jon Lantz • December 31, 2024

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

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. 

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. 

Hip Roof

Our Hip Roof sheds have a classic feel to them that can perfectly pair with many new homes. The four-sided roof resembles a pyramid, the symmetry giving an aesthetically pleasing look. This affordable option is very durable, being able to withstand New Jersey’s windy and snowy conditions. The main feature of these sheds is they have a main front door and a double door on the side for you to fit larger equipment in the shed.


Garden Sheds

Garden sheds focus more on design as they are meant to blend in with the landscaping of your yard. They are supposed to match the aesthetics of your garden and provide functional storage for your gardening tools and supplies. Garden sheds use more design elements like window boxes to increase their visual appeal. The different styles of garden sheds we offer are: 


Classic Garden Cottage

Our Classic Garden Cottage sheds give a functional shed a more visually pleasing home-like appearance. It has a refined look to it that complements upscale homes. These sheds have oversized picture frame windows and classic double doors, elevating your garden space. The Garden Cottage combines the functionality of a garden shed with the style elements of the Cottage Series. 


Classic Garden Quaker

Our Classic Garden Quaker sheds are one of our most attractive styles. It combines the functionality of the garden shed with the design elements of the Quaker-style sheds. It uses long overhang roofs and oversized windows to provide extra refinement to your garden. The carriage-style roof allows for extra overhead space and the overhang gives extra shelter to the doors and windows of the shed. 

Winchester Shed

Our Winchester sheds are an upgrade to our standard cottage sheds. They have a timeless appearance, giving a classically traditional aesthetic to your yard. The larger windows and higher roof pitch add natural light to the shed and provide functional storage space for gardening supplies. 


Economy Sheds
