Amish Built Quaker Style Backyard Shed

About the Quaker Shed

The Quaker defines itself by a significantly larger front overhang over the windows and doors. Another defining feature of the Quaker shed is the higher front-facing wall, which offsets the roof slightly. This gives the shed more vertical space inside, while adding to its unique exterior look.

Quaker sheds make great she-sheds, man caves, or potting sheds. Of course, it’s a perfect storage shed too – but think of what else you might be able to use your new structure for. The possibilities are endless.

Should you desire additional interior height or more pronounced overhangs on the side and back, we recommend you consider the Garden Quaker, which fuses the best features of the Quaker style shed with that of our Garden shed.

And don’t think that you have to stick to a simple , we still offer the same siding, shingle, window, and shutter options as our other models to further customize your design. As with all of your sheds, your new shed comes with a five-year guarantee against any manufacturer defects.

Make It Yours

While the above specifications are standard across all of our structures, there are many opportunities to customize your Amish-built shed to ‘make it yours.’

For the roof, consider a dormer or cupola to give your outdoor building a unique look.
Opt for a cedar shake, ribbed metal or standing-seam metal roof to further customize its appearance.
We offer a plethora of siding options including beaded vinyl, HardiePlank, board-and-batten, and cedar shake.
Window options include insulated, wood sash, arched wood sash and transom windows.
Even the window shutters are customizable: choose from wood slat, vinyl raised panel or vinyl louvered options.
