MORE THAN A SHED: CREATIVE WAYS TO USE A PRO-SHED™
Pro-Shed™ creates usable space for storage, hobbies, recreation, and everyday life.
INTRODUCTION
A little extra space can go a long way.
It might become a place to store equipment and keep things organized. It might become a workshop, a hobby room, or a quiet place to relax after a long day. At a hunting property or lake lot, it might become the building you use most often.
Whatever the purpose, the right structure creates opportunities long before it's ever filled. The best part? You can choose a design that's already tailored to the way you plan to use it.
That's where Pro-Shed™ comes in.
Pro-Shed™ combines proven designs, detailed construction plans, and complete material lists to help homeowners create practical, attractive structures for a variety of uses. Available in multiple layouts, sizes, and color options, Pro-Shed™ offers a straightforward way to add useful space without starting from scratch.
WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE PRO-SHED™
Durable steel-clad construction
Low-maintenance prefinished exterior
Movable skid-based design
Multiple layouts designed around different uses
Detailed plans and complete material lists
Available in two sizes and multiple color options
WHAT IS A PRO-SHED™?
Not every project needs a garage, pole building, or home addition.
Sometimes you simply need the right amount of space.
Pro-Shed™ is a collection of pre-designed structures that combine detailed construction plans and complete material lists into a straightforward do-it-yourself project.
Instead of designing an entire building from the ground up, homeowners can choose from multiple Pro-Shed™ designs created around specific uses and built with durable materials like Pro-Rib® steel roofing and siding and AC2® treated lumber.
Available in 12' x 12' and 18' x 12' sizes, Pro-Shed™ offers practical solutions for storage, hobbies, recreation, and everyday life.
Multiple layouts allow homeowners to choose a Pro-Shed design that fits their intended use.
DESIGNED AROUND DURABLE, LOW-MAINTENANCE MATERIALS
The less time you spend maintaining a building, the more time you spend using it.
That's one reason Pro-Shed™ designs feature durable Pro-Rib® steel roofing and siding. The prefinished steel exterior is designed to maintain its appearance without the routine upkeep associated with many traditional painted surfaces.
Benefits of Steel Construction
No routine exterior painting
Low-maintenance ownership
Long-lasting appearance
Durable weather protection
Modern styling and color options
Designed Around Proven Building Materials
Pro-Shed™ material lists are built around components selected for durability, performance, and long-term use. In addition to great features like Pro-Rib® Steel and AC2® treated lumber, Pro-Sheds™ may also include:
Mastercraft® doors
Performax® windows
Ideal Door® Roll-up doors
Details You'll Appreciate Every Time You Use It
The little details often make the biggest difference.
That's why many Pro-Shed™ designs include premium features that aren't commonly found on traditional storage sheds.
Depending on the layout you choose, your Pro-Shed™ material list may include a Mastercraft® insulated steel entry door complete with a modern lever handle and deadbolt lock.
It's a feature that looks great, provides added security, and creates a welcoming entrance for spaces like hobby rooms, backyard retreats, studios, and workshops.
Some layouts also feature large Performax® windows and Mastercraft® double entry doors that bring in natural light and make the space feel open and inviting.
These aren't simply places to store things—they're spaces designed to spend time in.
STEEL VS. TRADITIONAL PAINTED WOOD
Pro-Shed™
Traditional Wood Shed
Prefinished Pro-Rib® steel siding is ready to enjoy from day one
Exterior typically arrives unfinished and requires painting
No routine exterior painting required
Paint requires ongoing maintenance over time
Durable prefinished steel roofing is included in the design
Asphalt shingles must be installed and eventually replaced
Low-maintenance steel exterior
Wood exterior requires periodic upkeep
Long-lasting color and finish
Appearance changes as paint and roofing age
Painting and roofing are two of the biggest projects many homeowners don't think about until after they purchase a traditional wood shed.
Pro-Shed™ eliminates those extra finishing steps by incorporating prefinished steel for both the walls and the roof, helping you spend less time maintaining your building and more time enjoying it.
THE ADVANTAGE OF A MOVABLE DESIGN
Every Pro-Shed™ design incorporates a skid-based foundation system.
Once constructed, the completed structure can be repositioned if needed, providing flexibility that many permanent structures simply don't offer.
Whether you're adjusting placement on your property or planning for future changes, a movable design provides options while maintaining the appearance and functionality of a permanent structure.
Built on Skids
Movable design
Practical foundation system
Flexible placement options
Designed around changing property needs
A PRO-SHED™ FOR THE WAY YOU USE SPACE
Every property is different, and every homeowner uses space a little differently.
That's why Pro-Shed™ is available in multiple layouts designed around different priorities and applications.
ORGANIZED STORAGE, RIGHT WHERE YOU NEED IT
For many homeowners, the goal is simple: organized storage that's easy to access.
The roll-up door layout provides convenient access for equipment, tools, and recreational gear while maintaining a clean, attractive appearance.
Popular uses include:
Lawn and garden equipment storage
Seasonal storage
ATV and motorcycle storage
Outdoor recreation gear
Pool equipment storage
Tool and equipment organization
A dedicated storage building helps keep frequently used equipment protected, organized, and ready when you need it.
It's also a great place to store the things you don't want exposed to dirt, moisture, or the elements. Patio cushions, camping gear, hunting clothing, fishing tackle, pool supplies, and seasonal decorations all benefit from being stored inside a secure, enclosed structure.
With a raised floor system and quality door components, a Pro-Shed™ provides homeowners with added confidence when storing valuable equipment and personal belongings.
A SPACE THAT'S ENTIRELY YOUR OWN
One of the standout features of this layout is the pair of full-size insulated steel entry doors.
This Mastercraft® door includes half lites with grilles, a modern lever handle, and a deadbolt lock—features more commonly associated with a home's entry door than a traditional shed.
The result is a space that feels inviting, secure, and filled with natural light, making it an ideal choice for:
Reading retreats
Painting studios
She-sheds
Hobby getaways
Backyard offices
Wellness or yoga spaces
Craft rooms
When a building feels this comfortable, you're more likely to use it as an extension of your home rather than simply another place to store things.
A BUILDING THAT GOES WHEREVER LIFE TAKES YOU
Some properties call for something beyond a traditional backyard shed.
Whether it's a hunting property, lake lot, cabin, or rural acreage, having a durable outbuilding nearby can make projects, recreation, and property maintenance more convenient.
Popular uses include:
Hunting property building
Woodworking projects
Fishing gear storage
Cabin companion building
Lake property storage
Property maintenance equipment storage
DIY project space
With its practical footprint and durable steel exterior, this design feels at home almost anywhere.
THE RIGHT SPACE FOR THE JOB
Whether it's storage, a workshop, a hobby room, or a building for a hunting property or lake lot, the goal is often the same: a little extra room.
Pro-Shed™ offers practical layouts and durable materials to help create space that fits your needs.
