SOMETIMES the best way to spring clean the inside of your home is to take stuff out of it.

There are a multitude of options encouraging you to clear out the clutter. Freshen things up and make the indoors look so much larger by extending your usable space outside. 

STORAGE SOLUTIONS

Cleaning out your garage and (finally) having enough room to park your car in there means that you’re going to need someplace else to put your stuff. A shed lets you create a whole new outdoor storage option.

“Everybody needs storage,” said Rob Rajeski, Garden Time’s Operation Manager.

For 33 years, Garden Time has been working with multiple Amish manufacturers in the Lancaster area to provide quality-built structures to fulfill all sorts of storage needs.

The fully-customizable process begins with looking at a basic line of sheds online and at any of their four locations in Wilton, Queensbury, Halfmoon and Rutland, Vermont. The typical 10’ x 12’ shed comes with double doors, two windows, a shingled roof and pressure-treated floor for approximately $4,000. 

Then, you can add architectural accents like cupolas and stain finishes, enhancing its style. Upgrade the way you use the shed by adding functional features including extra windows and electrical kits.

BUILD A BACKYARD GETAWAY

Outdoor rooms give you the luxurious feeling of a retreat in the convenience of your own backyard. 

“It’s a huge new market,” said Rajeski. 

Pavilions and pergolas provide shaded entertainment areas. French doors and bar tops elevate the pool house into an elegant escape. Create an enclosed structure with a screened-in porch and you’ll have that “she-shed,” guest house or man cave that you’ve always wanted. 

Bring peace to the house by giving your kids a great place to play outdoors with a worry-free vinyl playset. Customizable features such as water cannons, parent swings, tic-tac-toe boards and tree houses provide hours of enjoyment.

“We can do almost anything with playsets – the sky’s the limit,” said Rajeski.

Pamper your pets with a deluxe dog house or install a coop and try your hand raising chickens.

“Get a coop with electricity and an automatic door, put the chickens in and you’ll have eggs,” said Rajeski. 

Garden Time provides everything from small animal shelters to 10-stall horse barns to meet your needs.

“From the $99 dog house to the $300,000 home – we do it all,” he said.

GETTING IT DONE

Designers will help you envision your perfect building project with the help of a dimensional Sketch-Up drawing and provide you with stamped engineering plans. 

Professionals will evaluate your yard, excavate and prepare a gravel or concrete pad for your new structure. It’s a process that takes just a week or two if you order something in stock, four weeks or more for custom orders. 

Garden Time delivers within a fifty-mile radius. For difficult to reach areas, they have a mule forklift to transport the structure. They will also sell the sets in pieces, but this voids the standard 10-year limited warranty. 

Financing is available for projects costing more than $1,500; there is a rent-to-own program and they also accept sheds in trade.
