I need to purchase a boat storage shed for my place in Carraballe.
A standard height should work and 8 to 10 feet wide and 20 to 24 feet long. Those standard carport type metal sheds should work fine.
I was considering a small enclosed end with a door for additional storage for items such as lawn mower, beach chairs, etc.
If the storage option, would not be cost effective, I will just build a stand alone building to match the house.
I didn't want to build a pole type shed, the metal type can be semi-portable much easier. Plus that would just add another project to the to do list.
I have seen several of those companies in the area, but of course I am looking for a good price, and I am sure some of those places will be more willing to deal.

I did a good bit of back and forth a couple of years ago before I finally decided on a "Lark". They are made in Vidalia Georgia but there is a dealer in Tallahassee and Crawfordville Hwy (Southeast Portable Buildings 850 926-7100.) I had special "wants" with respect to door and window size/placement and I wanted the electrical boxes raised to a particular height from what they considered standard to accomodate future workbench height. I also went with extra wall height of 7 ft. I especially liked the cross bracing, the floor system, and the full 2X4 top plate (some other brands use a 1 X 4) that are all standard. The base price for my 12 X 20 was $3500.00. I had drawn up plans and put a bill of materials together a couple of times since moving to my place and it always seemed to only save me a few hundred dollars ( 5 or 6) which when considering the time I had available and the convenience of having someone else deliver and set the thing up caused me to go that route. Here's a website with some models and a video of how the units are put together.

I have a metal building installed by Carolina Carports. They were the most reasonable I talked to, and will build anything you want.

Atlas Manufacturing in Alapaha, GA. They have the best quality and best prices that I've seen. Their number is 229-532-2905. Ask for Mark, he's the owner.
