Problems with Cheap Sheds – Wall of Shame™

Sometimes when you walk into a building on a display lot, you can see water stains on the floor. Be warned.

This facebook post was from a large national company. While they made an effort, in the end, the customer was not happy. We make mistakes too, but as a local family owned business, we promise to keep working until you’re happy.

A shed needs to be handled carefully during delivery. It doesn’t do much good to build it beautiful in the plant, and then dinge it up while it’s being delivered. Here at Ulrich our drivers are experienced employees, not a third party contractor.

Notice the wood showing through the paint.

Details make a difference. Note the holes left by the nails. Those holes are a place for water to puddle and ultimately degrade the siding over time. Caulking the nail holes before painting is an important step.

Note the missing roof panel in the back.

Plastic sheds: Seductively cheap, but not a good long term choice. Note the panel falling out on the left.

Door hardware is not a good place to skimp.

A competitors’ “continuous” eave vent. The air can come up through the notches. That’s hardly continuous.
