At The Olde Sale Barn, we offer 3 different types of sheds: Cape, Chalet, and Dutch Barns.
They have a lot in common, but each has its own personality and areas where it excels. Here's a short breakdown:
Cape Shed:
A Cape shed is often the best choice when the priority is attractive appearance, practical storage, and a design that looks like it belongs with your home, rather than maximizing loft space or emphasizing a steep, cabin-like roofline.
Chalet Shed:
A Chalet shed is often the best choice when the priority is appearance, natural light, and creating a space people enjoy spending time in—not just storing things in. The Chalet strikes a balance between function and aesthetics, making it a favorite for workshops, studios, and backyard retreats.
Dutch Barn:
A Dutch Barn is often the best choice when the priority is maximizing storage space, adding lofts, or getting the most usable volume from a given footprint. The Dutch Barn excels at storing more without taking up more yard space.
We stock all these styles and offer customization options. View our current shed offerings: https://oldesalebarn.com/product-category/sheds/
