Note: 

 Our Sheds are shipped 

as unfinished products.  If 
exposed to the elements, the 
Western Red Cedar lumber 
will weather to a silvery-gray 
color. 
If you prefer to keep the cedar 
lumber looking closer to the 
original color, we suggest that 
you treat the wood with a good 
wood stain.  You may also 
wish to paint your new shed 
rather than stain it.  In both 
cases we recommend that you 
consult with a paint and stain 
dealer in your area for their  
recommendations.

We  value  your  feedback  and 
would like to hear back from you 
on how well we are doing in the 
following areas: 
 

1. Customer Service 
2. On Time Shipping 
3. Motor Freight Delivery 
4. Quality of Materials 
5. Assembly Manual 
6. Overall Satisfaction.
