A King Sized Shed for a King Sized Dog Lover

Like a lot of Americans, the King family dreamed of owning a home in the country - a quiet place with lots of trees and grass where a dog could run in the big back yard. Finally, the couple saved up enough money and bought the house of their dreams - a roomy ranch on six acres with an oversized, attached garage which they loved for its convenient storage potential. What the Kings didn.t realize was how quickly that space would be eaten up by all the 'stuff' they accumulated to maintain their new, much larger home.

First came the lawnmower, soon followed by a larger one to tackle the back acerage. Eventually Mr. King decided that he really needed a tractor to work on the land so he moved things around in his garage. One of two cars moved out to driveway, leaving two lawn mowers and a tractor really crowding Mrs. Kings car. They were managing until their love for the Labrador Retreiver grew by four.

'Oh, we fell for those pups hard' said Mr. King. We just like having them around. But it was getting really hard to keep them all in the house. We wanted to section off a portion of the garage for them but there was just too much stuff.' At first the Kings tried to manage by fencing off an area of their garage but it became clear that it was just too crowded.

They considered building a kennel for the dogs but King said, 'Our dogs are family members. They need their own space but we like them to be near us..' Soon it was clear, the Kings needed a storage shed for their growing number of yard implements.

'I was bound and determined to get a shed no matter what' said King. 'I did my research and started shopping around. Some of the people that I talked to were just your average sales people - they didn'Äôt really know their products and had no idea beyond the basic building - how to customize a shed to suit my family'Äôs needs.' Luckily, King soon met an expert in shed building who spent a great deal of time interviewing King - asking him about his lifestyle and his needs. 'I didn'Äôt realize that I could have a loft and shelves in my shed' said King. 'When I heard this, it was like a light bulb went off in my head. Of course, why didn'Äôt I think of that?'

In the end, the Kings chose a 12 x 16 foot gambrel-roofed building with two rows of shelving and a loft at one end, with a roll up garage door on the other end.

They completed the building with an easy-entry ramp so they can drive their equipmentin and out of their shed with ease. 'Having it installed was amazing' said King. I was worried abouthow they were going to get that big building delivered to my home but there was really no problem. My shed came on the back of a pick-up truck - all bundled materials with pre-cut rafters. All the other materials - walls, shelves, windows, doors, were custom built on the spot. That little truck got through the trees with no problem and it was amazing to see the shed go up so fast.

With room to spare, the Kings decided to expand their enjoyment of their place in the country. Soon a go-cart was sharing space with the two lawn mowers and the family uses it to drive on their own wooded trails while the dogs run along side barking happily through the trees. Their lives have gotten better too - no longer confined to a corner of the garage, at night they spread out to sleep on large cushy dog beds in the large, fenced in portion of the heated garage.'Every morning they greet us at the door. They eat while I put on my boots and then they follow me out to the shed for another day of fun.' What a time to be a dog!
