  • What size shed do I need?
    Determining the right size shed for your needs depends on several factors, including the intended use, available space, and future storage requirements. At Cape Fear Shed, we recommend starting by assessing what you plan to store. For instance, a small shed (around 8x8 feet) is typically sufficient for garden tools, a lawnmower, and a few bicycles. If you're looking to store larger items or need workspace for hobbies, a medium-sized shed (10x12 feet) might be more appropriate. Larger sheds (12x16 feet and above) are ideal for storing equipment like ATVs, larger tools, or even setting up a workshop. Additionally, consider potential future needs; it's often wise to size slightly larger than your current requirements to accommodate growth. Cape Fear Shed specializes in building custom sheds on-site, ensuring seamless integration with your property without the hassle of moving fences or damaging your lawn. Our team is here to assist you every step of the way, from choosing the right size to the final construction.
  • How much space is required to build a shed on site?
    When planning to build a shed on site with Cape Fear Shed, you'll be thrilled to know that we can work within surprisingly compact spaces! Typically, we recommend allowing a minimum of 2 feet of additional space around the shed's footprint to give our builders room to work efficiently. For instance, if you are planning a 10x12 shed, you should have a clear area of at least 14x16 feet. However, our experienced team is adept at customizing plans to fit more confined or uniquely shaped spaces. We work closely with you to ensure that your new shed perfectly suits your yard without compromising your existing structures or landscape.

  • Do I need a building permit?
    Whether you need a building permit for your custom shed from Cape Fear Shed depends on several factors, including local regulations, the size of the shed, and its intended use. In many areas, smaller sheds (typically under a 12x12) may not require a permit, but it's essential to check with your local building authority to confirm. Cape Fear Shed recommends contacting your local municipality to verify any specific zoning laws or building codes that may apply to your project. Additionally, our team is experienced in navigating these regulations and can offer guidance and support to ensure that your shed installation meets all local requirements. For any further assistance, feel free to discuss this with our team during your consultation.
