Three Distinct Ways to Build

Choose the Appalachian Building That Fits Your Property—and Your Plans

Some homeowners need an exceptionally well-built place for storage. Others want a backyard building with greater architectural presence. And some have a vision that cannot be found in a standard plan. Appalachian Sheds brings those needs together through three carefully considered building series.

Appalachian Classic Series

Time-Honored Profiles. Everyday Purpose.

The Appalachian Classic Series brings familiar shed forms together with practical layouts and enduring character. These buildings are created for homeowners who need dependable storage without settling for an ordinary backyard shed.

Three Classic Profiles

The Appalachian Classic

A balanced, versatile profile for tools, lawn equipment, and organized everyday storage.

The Appalachian Antique Saltbox

An asymmetrical historic silhouette for storage with greater architectural distinction.

The Appalachian Laurel Lean-To

A clean single-slope design for space-conscious storage and quieter visual impact.

The Appalachian Classic with LP Smatside white board & batten siding with optional entry awning
Appalachian Signature Buildings

More Than Storage. Architecture for the Backyard.

Signature Buildings are created for homeowners who expect a backyard structure to do more than provide storage. These designs bring a stronger architectural presence and possibilities that extend beyond the traditional role of a shed.

Two Distinctive Signature Profiles

The Appalachian Country Cottage

A welcoming cottage-inspired building suited to gardens, studios, poolside uses, hobbies, or beautifully appointed storage.

The Appalachian Overhang Shed

Enclosed storage paired with a recessed rear covered area that is ideal for keeping firewood dry and orderly.

Appalachian Custom Sheds & Buildings

Your Property. Your Purpose. Your Building.

Sometimes the right building does not begin with a standard model. It begins with a particular property, a specific purpose, or an idea the homeowner has been considering for years.

Bring us your inspiration, practical requirements, or simply the problem you need the building to solve. We will help you shape a clear direction for a structure that feels purposeful, personal, and at home on your property.

Built-On-Site Quality · Clear Choices

What Makes an Appalachian Shed Different?

The difference is not one decorative upgrade. It is how construction, proportions, options, and on-site workmanship come together as one complete building. Every decision should support the structure’s purpose, its relationship to your property, and the confidence you expect long after the project is complete.

Difference 01

Construction You Can Compare

Look beyond appearance and compare the foundation, floor, wall, roof, openings, hardware, and other components that shape long-term performance.

Difference 02

Options Chosen with Purpose

Doors, windows, siding, rooflines, access, storage, and available details are considered around how the building needs to function.

Difference 03

Built on Your Property

On-site construction keeps the building connected to the realities of your property, intended placement, access, and project requirements.

Difference 04

Architecture with Presence

Balanced proportions and Appalachian-inspired character help the finished structure feel intentional beside the home rather than added as an afterthought.

Our detailed comparison page brings the Appalachian Classic Series, Appalachian Signature Buildings, and Appalachian Custom Sheds & Buildings together so you can review their purposes, profiles, standard features, and available choices side by side.

Professional References · Greater Cincinnati

Talk With Professionals Who Have Worked With Ed

Considering an Appalachian Sheds building for your property? After an initial project conversation, prospective customers in our service area may request a private introduction to one or two professionals who have worked directly with Ed Shackelford. No purchase or deposit is required.

Who You’ll Speak With

Someone who knows Ed through firsthand professional experience. Each reference can explain how they worked together and discuss the projects, responsibilities, and work they personally observed—so you understand exactly what their experience can help you evaluate.

What You Can Ask

Ask about communication, schedules, costs, workmanship, and accountability—including how Edwin handled unexpected problems. A direct conversation gives you the opportunity to ask follow-up questions and explore what matters most to your building decision.

How Introductions Work

Start by telling Ed about the building you are considering, your location, and what you would like to know. That conversation helps identify a suitable reference while respecting each person’s time. Introductions are arranged individually, with the reference’s permission.

Your reference conversation stays personal. References’ names and contact details are never published or distributed as a list. Contact information is shared only with that person’s permission.
