New Transom Window Option
Do you want to allow more natural light into your TUFF SHED building? Check out our new transom windows! We recently added transom windows to our repertoire of available options in order to offer an aesthetically pleasing alternative to skylights, allowing extra light into our buildings, while still providing privacy and security. The transom windows come in two styles, the standard 14.25" x 8" version (intended for sidewall placement as shown here) and the slightly larger 20" x 11" tempered glass version (intended for above door placement as shown here). The standard transom windows retail for $49 each, while the tempered glass windows are $59 each.  



Featured Shed
Here's a 12'x16' custom building that was built by our Phoenix, AZ factory. The building features stucco siding, a rollup canister door and viga poles to complete the Southwestern look. The photo proves once again that our storage buildings are not just your typical shed.




Featured Garage 
Here's a beautiful 16'x20' custom Premier PRO Ranch Garage built by our Sacramento, CA factory. The building includes custom roof pitch and eaves, loft, shake shingles in the gable end, three color paint scheme, a carport and upgraded windows and doors.

TUFF SHED's Quick Storage Tips

  • If it hasn’t been used in the last three years, get rid of it!
  • Utilize vertical space to hang rakes and tools. You can even consider hanging up your bikes, skis and other sporting equipment.
  • Set an organizing schedule. Get your quarterly or biannual garage maintenance on your calendar.
  • Start with a plan. Measure your space before you start buying so that you have an idea of how much space you have to work with. 
  • Take advantage of the loft space in our Barn-style sheds - designed to hold seasonal items, such as sporting equipment and Christmas lights that you tuck away for months each year.
  • Let us install shelving, a workbench or our Ulti-Mate cabinets to make organization easy. 
  • Group like items together so they're easy to find.
  • Decide which area of the garage is going to be used for what purpose.

Fall Car Maintenance


It's no secret that one of the more common uses for our buildings is to store and protect vehicles from the elements. Here are a few seasonal tips for your vehicles as the seasons change:

•     Change your wiper blades. Statistics show that wipers are generally used more frequently in the fall and winter. They'll also be taking a lot more abuse from road grime and windshield-washer solvent, so it's best to have a fresh set then.

•     Check and top off fluids. In fall, windshield-washer fluid needs to be replaced with a solvent that is suited for use in cold weather. Fall is also a good time to check your level of antifreeze.

•     Check your battery. Many electrical issues and ignition problems stem from loose or corroded battery connections so be sure to check your battery regularly.

•     Do the penny test. Insert a penny in the grooves of your tire so that Abraham Lincoln's head faces downward. Check to see whether you can still see Honest Abe's face. If the tire tread obscures his face, then your tires probably don't need to be replaced. However, if the tires grooves are shallow enough that all of Lincoln's face can still be seen, it may be time for new tires.
