Custom Poolhouse – built on site by Fox’s Country Sheds

Even though it’s a bit chilly now since it is mid-October, I just came across these photos of a job that Fox’s Country Sheds did late last year – right around December 2010.  This customer was having a pool put in while we were busy thinking about the holidays.  We were able to build his custom pool house according to the specs that he wanted.  While I don’t have photos of the finished product once the pool was completed and landscaped – most likely due to all of the snow that we had during early 2011 – I hope these photos can give you an idea of the type of work that Fox’s Country Sheds can do for you if you are thinking of a pool house.  Because this customer thought it out well, he was able to have his pool installed along with the custom shed/pool house, and then was able to fence and landscape around the entire project.  I’m sure he enjoyed it throughout the summer months!

What is a Shed Kit, and what do you do with it? Fox Sheds “sheds” some light on shed kits!

What do you do when you find that you no longer have room in your garage for all of your “stuff”, yet access to your yard is limited for the delivery of a storage shed? A shed kit can be the answer you are looking for.

By now you might be wondering, “What in the world is a shed kit, and what do I do with it?” Those plastic pre-formed, unsightly sheds that one finds at a chain home-improvement mega-store might come to mind (such as a Rubbermaid shed), but that is not what we have in mind for you here at Fox Sheds & Structures!

Our “shed kits” are exactly like our pre-assembled garden sheds at Fox’s Country Sheds — attractive, built to order, and fairly easy to put together if you have some basic construction know-how and some friends to help (friends with muscles are a bonus!).  Our crew will pre-build portions of your shed as much as possible, so that you can easily attach the walls and floor.  This is what we call a “knock down kit”.  The roof rafters will be pre-notched for easy installation before you complete building the roof.  Everything you need, from the pressure treated runners right up to the 30 year  shingles, is included in your shed kit. You also have a preference of vinyl siding on your shed (included in your choice of color), or easy to paint dura-temp wood siding (paint not included unless requested).

Our shed kits will give you everything you need to build your shed in your limited space, without the worry and stress of trying to figure out where to begin if building from scratch.  “Exactly how much lumber do I need?  How many square of siding and shingles?  Where do I cut this thing?!” All of those questions and answers are already taken care of, and delivered right to your driveway!  Easy to understand instructions are included, and an instructional DVD video is coming soon.

Fox Sheds does recommend that you have some construction knowledge, such as how to use a drill, measuring tape and level.  If you have access to a nail gun, it will make your installation much easier and quicker!  You can easily rent one from a local tool rental facility, which will rent tools to you by the day or by the week.

Before beginning construction of your Fox Shed kit, be sure to select a level area in your yard where you plan on erecting the shed.  Proper site preparation for your shed is important.  We recommend that a good, firm stone pad is prepared.  When you place your shed kit order, we can give you instructions on how to prepare your site for good drainage and a solid, level base.

Putting together a shed kit, whether it is a vinyl siding shed kit or a painted wooden shed kit, will take some time – so plan ahead. But, it will save you money in the long run if you consider the cost of a “build on site” by the manufacturer (typically, there is a fee for Fox’s Country Sheds to “build-on-site” if a pre assembled storage shed or garage cannot be accommodated).  Another option might be for you to hire a general contractor who will easily be able to follow our instructions on assembling the shed kit.  We are always available by phone or email to answer any questions, and you will be able to speak directly with our construction foreman for any difficulties that you might encounter.

Any questions about Shed Kits?  Please feel free to contact us directly at www.FoxSheds.com !   Remember that we ship nationally, right to your driveway.

Adding Pergolas to the mix!

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve updated!  We’ve been busy as bees here at Fox’s Country Sheds, even though the weather hasn’t been

Pergola - In Stock at Fox's Sheds

cooperating very much lately.  Even so, once the rain clouds disappear, orders start “pouring” in.  It seems people are anxious to get out into the yard and de-clutter their garages by adding a backyard shed.  We’re happy to oblige!

Between rainstorms, we’ve been busy adding Pergolas to our inventory.  These beauties come in sizes beginning at 8 x 8 and go up to 14 x 24.  Our pergolas are all Amish made and are all built with pressure treated lumber. They can be ordered with clear sealer that brings out the beauty of the wood grain (as shown here on this in-stock 10×16 Pergola), or in a high quality white paint applied at the shop (as shown below).

The standard pergola comes complete with a floor, so that you can enjoy it right on your grassy lawn without having to mow underneath it.  Or, it can be ordered as a “kit” with or without a floor, so that you can install it wherever you’d like such as on a patio or deck.

Our Pergolas are made by the same Amish builder that creates our beautiful Gazebos – so you know that you are getting the same excellent quality that we are known for.

Pergolas and Gazebos for sale from Fox Sheds http://www.FoxSheds.com

Visit us today at 537 E 28th Division Hwy in Lititz, PA – beautiful Lancaster County – or visit our website at http://www.FoxSheds.com to ask about our lovely Pergolas, Gazebos, garden Sheds, Garages and Poolhouses.  Call us at 717-626-9560 for a quick answer to any questions or a shipping quote.  We are eager to help!

How a tornado whipped us around – but we’re still standing!

You may have heard about a recent F-1 tornado that ripped through a portion of Lancaster County two weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon. Some of the sheds on our lot got a bit dinged up from the golf-ball sized hail, but that’s nothing that we can’t fix pretty easily.  Most of them have already been repaired!

But, many of our customers who’s homes were right in the tornado’s path didn’t fare so easily. The Monday morning right after the tornado hit, our office was flooded with calls!  Homeowners and local builders have been calling us daily (and two weeks later, the phone hasn’t stopped yet) with requests for repairs to their damaged sheds.

Our facility missed the tornado’s path by about a mile, so we were not a direct hit – thank God!  But, that’s not the case for most of the homeowners (and shed owners) who live in Clay Township, Ephrata and parts of Denver in Lancaster County.

So, between our regular dealer orders and retail orders, we’ve been accomodating these requests for repairs to the sheds of our past customers (and there are many!).

What is amazing, and something I’m proud to share, is that the only damage to these sheds that we built was from the hail to portions of the siding, aluminum trim and roofing shingles.  NONE of our sheds had a roof tear off or had a collapse.  NONE of our sheds were blown away.  NONE!

There is a local competitor who actually had the sheds on his lot lift up and crash into each other damaging them profusely! This tells me something about the construction of our sheds – and it should be an indication to you as well.  We build ’em strong!!  We “notch” our rafters – and most other shed builders don’t.  We use 2 x 4 studs – and many shed builders don’t.  Clearly, we build em to last – and perhaps many shed builders simply don’t!

If you are a past customer of Fox’s Country Sheds and you have had storm damange from the recent tornado that tore through our county, please call us for a repair estimate.  If you have not already done so – call your insurance company!  Your shed should be covered along with your household hazard insurance! If we don’t have your siding and trim colors in stock, we will order it for you.  Some people needed just one piece of siding, others needed an entire side of the shed re-sided.

We were so busy with repairs these past few weeks, that some of our sheds on order got delayed by a day or so – but we are slowly catching up.  Luckily, everyone has been very understanding because this was a freak act of nature.

Unfortunately, some homes were lost due to the storm, and people lost the entire contents of their homes. Thank God, there was no loss of life, even while those homeowners were in their homes when they simply blew apart.  Let’s all please keep them in our prayers. If you would like to make a donation of household goods to these homeowners, the area churches are holding drives to help them.  The local red cross has been wonderful, as well.

As a side note — today I had a young couple come in and order a cute 8 x 8 Garden Shed for their home.  They confided in me that their previous shed – which blew apart – was from Lowe’s!  And guess what?  It completely demolished in the storm! They figured that this time, they would do things the right way, and order a Fox’s Country Shed instead of one of those ARROW plastic sheds from Lowe’s!  Smart young couple!!

“Feel Good” garden sheds

I heard that there was a front page article recently in the New York Times about how homeowners are

Sunny Garden Shed

enhancing their properties with the additions of garden sheds.  How in the world did I miss that article! I’ll have to do a search for it, and hopefully can find it online in the NYT archives.  If anyone happens to have a copy of that article…. I’d love to see it.

In the meantime, I thought I would post this sunny, bright, cheery photo of our Cape Cod shed amongst blue skies. It’s a photo that makes me feel good, reminds me of summer days and carefree attitudes.  I’d love to hear your comments and/or thoughts about it.

For any type of garden shed, potting shed, pre built garage, gazebo or pool house, or a quality vinyl swing set, please visit Fox’s Country Sheds online.
