An Above Average Hobby Shed

When it comes to getting around, Lee Swenson will almost always choose a bike. But his passion for two-wheeled transportation was causing overcrowding in his garage. As a long time bike enthusiast, he had an overflow of bikes, parts, and repair tools, leaving little room for anything else in the garage. Rather than parting with his beloved collection, Lee decided it was time to upgrade his storage space.

Before looking into Tuff Shed, Lee considered building another storage shed himself. “I have a little construction experience but I didn’t think I had the time or help necessary for a project this big” says Lee. After doing a bit of online research, he determined that a Tuff Shed building would be a lasting solution. He made a trip down to the Saint Paul, MN Tuff Shed showroom near his home and spoke with SDC Jon Gutierrez. Lee chose a 10’x20’ Premier Pro Tall Ranch, with two 4’x3’ custom windows, a slate steel roof, and an additional door on the back wall.

A major selling point for Lee was the opportunity to customize his building, not only for extra bike storage, but for his height as well. At 6’2”, he needed headroom when his bikes were stored in overhead racks. In his custom Premier Pro Tall Ranch, Lee is able to store quite a few bikes overhead without any worry of bumping his head. Additionally, he customized the window height to allow for an unobstructed view out of the building while working on bikes inside.
