From the style, to the size, and even to the accessories, you have tons of options when you create your own shed. To show you just how custom your shed can be, we’re walking you through the design process step-by-step:
Start with These Design Choices… Choose Your StyleThis choice is the biggest factor in determining the overall look of your shed. Most people are surprised to discover just how many different style options there are after they start designing! We recommend checking out each of the different shed types to find the one you like best. See just how different the Victorian Shed looks when compared to an A-Frame Shed.
This next part of custom designing a shed may be cosmetic, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important. After all, this shed is going to be in your yard for a few decades, so it’s important that you like the way it looks. In addition to choosing the primary color of the siding, you can select additional colors for the trim, the shutters, and the door. Check out how different the Slate color looks compared to the Blue.
You’ll find this big step under the “Doors, Windows, Exteriors” tab. Choosing between wood and vinyl is a pivotal choice when you create your own shed. Not only will choosing between a vinyl vs. wood shed determine how your shed looks, but also how much it costs and its lifespan. While a vinyl shed costs more upfront, it lasts longer than wood and will require less maintenance over the years. However, both options are great — which is why we gladly build both! Notice here the difference in siding between a vinyl and wooden shed.

Finish Your Shed with These Specifics…- Finalize Windows & Doors — Once you complete this step, you’ll have a very clear idea of how your shed will look. Also found under the “Doors, Windows, Exteriors” tab, the next step is to add any additional doors and windows you want. Exterior accessories are also found under this section, which allows you to see the impact of adding a cupola and vents.
- Select Your Size — One of the most important practical choices to make when custom designing a shed, deciding on the size of the shed makes the biggest impact on its price and how much storage space you’ll get from the shed. We offer a huge variety of sizes to ensure that your storage needs are satisfied while respecting your budget.

At this stage you can choose accessories like extra shelving and built-in work benches. In addition, you can decide on the type of floor and the number of joists supporting it at this point, too.
- Submit for a Quote — Once you’ve created your own shed in our design center, the next step is to submit your design and get a quote for us to build it for real in your backyard!
Count on Amish Quality
There’s no question that using an online design center to create your own shed is very 21st century — however, at Glick Woodworks, we’re still dedicated to the timeless ideals of hard work. In fact, our better materials and superior workmanship are the main things that set our structures apart from those found in hardware stores.
For example, each and every one of our sheds (custom or not) is built by a veteran Amish craftsman in our Lancaster County workshop. Compare that to super-cheap sheds you see in the parking lot of big box hardware stores which are built hundreds-at-a-time in overseas factories. That’s just the beginning when it comes to comparing Amish sheds and mass-produced sheds!
