5 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying a Storage Shed

1. Buying Too Small

One of the most common regrets we hear from customers is, “I wish I’d gone bigger.” Think about not just what you need to store today, but what you’ll need space for down the road.

Pro Tip: Size up at least one size larger than you think you need. Extra space is cheaper than upgrading later.

2. Skipping the Site Prep

Placing your shed directly on grass or uneven ground can lead to sagging floors and water damage. Always prep your site properly with a level gravel pad for the longest-lasting results.

3. Overlooking Warranty and Craftsmanship

Not all sheds are built the same. Look for builders who stand behind their work with a solid warranty. CR-10 Storage Barns includes a 5-Year Craftsmanship Warranty on every building — plus manufacturer warranties on materials.

4. Ignoring Delivery Costs

Some shed companies hit you with hidden delivery fees. At CR-10 Storage Barns, we offer FREE delivery up to 30 miles — and transparent pricing on longer hauls.

5. Not Considering Rent-to-Own Options

Buying outright isn’t the only way! Our Rent-to-Own program with no credit check makes it easy and affordable to get the building you need now — with flexible payment options.

Avoid the stress and choose the right shed the first time.
