The Garden Shed - Storage Meets Natural Light
The Garden Shed works well for gardeners who want their tools and supplies within reach of the beds, not stored across the yard. Extra windows and a side-wall door keep the space bright and easy to work from.
Every Cotton State Barns structure can be delivered fully assembled and set on your property or built on site. We use premium materials, which can include LP SmartSide® engineered siding, pressure-treated skids, and quality flooring, to build structures that stand strong with minimal maintenance.

Imagine the Possibilities
Potting & Seed Starting
This charming design looks right at home among flower beds and landscaped yards. Consider adding a workbench or shelving to keep all your gardening tools, pots, soil, and seasonal supplies neatly organized.
Tools, Hoses & Fertilizer
Shovels, rakes, hose reels, and bagged amendments get hung and shelved where you use them, steps from the beds rather than across the yard.
Mower & Wheelbarrow Parking
The double wood doors take a push mower or a loaded wheelbarrow straight in, so the working equipment lives with the working supplies.
A Quiet Corner of the Yard
Finished inside with a chair and a table, the Garden Shed works just as well as a quiet retreat, no structural changes needed.
Everyday Backyard Storage
Patio cushions, lawn games, sports equipment, and the seasonal things that clutter a garage all fit, in a building that suits the yard it sits in.
The Garden Shed - Available Sizes
The Garden Shed comes in 25 standard sizes, from compact to roomier configurations with serious capacity. Every size features the same high-quality Cotton State Barns construction. The listed price includes an extensive warranty, free delivery, and setup within 50 miles of your dealer.

Valerie Davis
“Bought several sheds over the years. They have all been excellent in build and quality. They last indefinitely when taken care of. Delivery and setup has always been flawless too.”
Roy Jr.
“Prompt delivery setup and billing. Whenever we have had an issue the customer service has been exceptional.”
David Harre
“Service after the sale. The 6 year bumper to bumper warranty gave me comfort that the product was as advertised. Mike the sales consultant in Calera was very attentive and communicated constantly. Again, lending confidence I made the right choice. Delivery was a breeze and again the delivery person was very detailed in making sure my shed was level and on solid footing...I had heard horror stories from other buyers of other companies. I was again very very pleased and smiling that I made the right decision of going with a Cotton State Barn. Thanks to everyone out there with Cotton State. Keep it up and I have been spreading the positive news to all my neighbors and friends.”
Christina Humphries
“The experience was great and the people that sold me the shed was great very well made”
Brandon Broadus
“Easy transaction with prompt delivery. Happy with purchase and would recommend to others.”
Alan Campbell
“The quality of the structure is incredible. The exterior paint matches my residence perfectly especially with the shutters and actually adds curb appeal whereas these buildings many times takes away from the curb appeal. I have not had any bugs, snakes or rodents inside as the building is extremely tight.”
Also Known As
You may see this style called a potting shed, A-frame garden shed, gable garden shed, cottage garden shed, garden ranch, or side-entry garden shed. The names vary, but the idea is the same: storage that looks like it belongs in the yard. Work among your plants in a space full of light. The Garden Shed takes our dependable gable-roof Utility Shed and adds windows and side-wall door placement, turning a storage building into a bright, welcoming garden hub.
