“We had a great experience from the moment we purchased the building to when it was delivered. We planned to make it into a guest house at our cabin property. It’s not finished yet as it needs some trim work, but we will do that next year.”
“Our single slope shed was purposely built to replace a flood damaged garage. We designed it to accommodate our entertaining lifestyle on the lake, and to allow some storage space for bikes and yard tools.   Our Old Hickory bar/shed has been the focal point of many celebrations and has become the go to spot for our neighbors and friends to gather for UFC fight nights.”
“My husband and I, at English Creek Hideaway, have converted Old Hickory Buildings into Tiny Home Glamping Vacation Rentals! We researched a ton and Old Hickory had the best product that we felt would have the ultimate glamping experience for guests! These buildings have provided wonderful memories for over 100 couples and families in the last 6 months and that is such a wonderful feeling.”
“We loved the idea of going small and minimizing our life, and our stuff. We started a large garden and have spent a lot more time outdoors since building our tiny home. It’s opened our eyes to how important time is, rather than material things. And a person can live with much less than they think.”
“The delivery and installation were awesome. I was amazed that only one guy showed up to drop it off. He maneuvered the shed into my backyard and leveled it out with no problems. And then it was up to me to turn it into the establishment that has brought friends and family together.”
This customer from Janesville, WI has WOWED us with this shed transformation using our LOFTED BARN with an added WORKBENCH as a chicken coop for their farm. The customer installed a variety of customizations, including electrical wiring, an enclosed interior and exterior feeding cage and a chicken-door with a treated wood ramp. What a great way to keep the chickens safe from predators, warm during the winter and shaded during the blazing summer months.
