Cottage Sheds
The Derksen Cottage Shed blends classic curb appeal with a more modern, usable layout—thanks to a cottage-style roof that adds headroom and makes the interior feel open, not cramped. Built with 8-foot walls, it gives you comfortable standing room and more flexibility for shelving, hooks, and taller storage items.
To make it feel like it truly belongs in your backyard, you can customize the look with a wide range of siding, trim, and metal roof color options—so your shed can match your home, your fencing, or your overall outdoor style.
