Garages & outbuildings
Custom Sheds & Workshops in the Lake Livingston Area
Heavy-duty storage sheds, garden workshops and she-sheds, built to the size and style your property calls for.
A shed that fits your property
A good shed takes the clutter out of the garage and gives mowers, tools and supplies a dry, secure home. A well-built one can also become a workshop, a potting shed or a quiet retreat.
Onalaska Builders builds custom sheds with our own crews, and we can prepare the site and pour a slab for it too.
We build:
- Heavy-duty storage sheds
- Garden and potting sheds
- Workshops
- She-sheds and backyard retreats
Comparing options
Custom-built shed or prefab?
Both have their place. The differences usually come down to:
- Size and layout. A custom shed is built to the dimensions, door placement and height you need. A prefab comes in set sizes.
- Matching the house. A custom shed can echo your home's roofline, siding and colors.
- Site fit. A shed built in place can suit a spot a delivered building cannot reach.
- What it will hold. Heavy equipment and workshop use call for a sturdy floor and framing.
Whichever you choose, the base matters. A shed on uneven or poorly drained ground will shift and let water in.
Planning
Planning your shed
- What goes inside. A riding mower, a side-by-side or a workbench each change the size and door you need.
- Doors and ramps. Wide doors and a ramp make it easy to roll equipment in and out.
- Windows and light. Natural light matters for a workshop or she-shed.
- Power. If you want lights or outlets, plan for them from the start.
- The spot. Level, well-drained ground with good access. See drainage solutions.
- Property rules. Deed restrictions, HOA rules and setbacks can limit size and placement.

When a shed is not enough
If you need to park vehicles or want a full workshop, a detached garage may be the better investment. For covered outdoor space without walls, look at carports and pavilions. For a place someone can stay, see guest houses.

Questions
Custom Sheds questions
Should I get a custom shed or a prefab one?
A custom shed is built to the size, doors and style you need and can match your house or fit a spot a delivered building cannot reach. A prefab comes in set sizes. Either way, a level, well-drained base matters.
What kinds of sheds do you build?
We build heavy-duty storage sheds, garden and potting sheds, workshops and she-sheds.
Do sheds need a foundation?
A shed needs a level, stable, well-drained base so it does not shift or let water in. For heavy equipment or workshop use, a concrete slab is a common choice.
How do I get an estimate for a shed?
Call (806) 480-0328 or send the estimate form with the town or ZIP code, roughly how big you want it and what it will be used for.
