The Solidbuilt shed story

Hello! I’m Wren, your Arizona shed enthusiast and the heart behind SolidBuilt Shed. My journey into the world of shed building began with a simple need and a passion for quality craftsmanship.

A few years ago, my wife needed a shed to store her horse tack and hay. We visited several big box stores, intending to buy a pre-built kit shed. The sheds looked fine in the parking lot, but when we had questions, no one was available to help. As I inspected them more closely, I realized I could build a better shed myself. And that’s exactly what I did.

With my background in construction—thanks to my father, a general contractor—I thought building a shed would be a lengthy process. And while my first shed took longer than expected, I enjoyed every moment of it. Soon after, I built a smaller shed for my tools, and the hobby quickly grew into a passion. Over the years, I’ve refined my designs and processes to offer you a top-notch shed experience.

Today, we can build a brand new SolidBuilt Shed in your backyard in just 1-2 days, depending on the size. Here’s what you can expect:

• Roofing Options: Choose between a sleek modern lean-to roof or a classic gable roof.
• Durable Roofing: We use lifetime (30+ years) algae-resistant architectural shingles.
• High-Quality Trim: Our 25-year rated maintenance-free door trim won’t rot, crack, or warp, unlike traditional pine trim that needs frequent painting.
• Solid Base: Built with 30-year ground contact rated pressure-treated lumber, elevated on solid concrete blocks for moisture management and longevity.
• Ventilation: Screened vents on both sides prevent bugs and help with airflow to reduce moisture buildup.
• Heavy-Duty Flooring: Our ¾” plywood flooring is built to last, capable of supporting heavy equipment without warping or buckling.
• Superior Panels: Our 50-year rated exterior panels are treated with waxes, resins, and zinc borate, making them water-resistant and insect-proof.

But that’s not all—we can finish out the interiors of your shed to suit your needs. Whether you want a cozy home office, a creative craft studio, or even a small living space, we can transform your shed into a fully functional area that’s tailored to your lifestyle. From insulation and drywall to electrical work and custom finishes, we handle it all.

Arizona’s new ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) laws have opened up exciting possibilities for homeowners. These laws now allow for ADUs on any residential property, which means you can use your shed as:

• Additional Living Space: Convert your shed into a guest house, rental unit, or even a cozy studio apartment. This can provide extra income or a comfortable space for guests.
• Home Office or Studio: Create a separate workspace that’s perfect for working from home or pursuing hobbies, all while keeping your living space free from distractions.
• Increased Property Value: Adding a well-designed ADU can enhance the value of your property, offering more flexibility and appeal.

• Reliable Storage: Keep your belongings dry and secure, or create a functional workspace.
• Security: Comes with a locking door handle and key for added security.
• Premium Materials: Only the highest-quality materials are used in our sheds.
• Longevity: Designed to last, saving you from the hassle of frequent replacements.
• Custom Interiors: We can finish out your shed’s interior to serve as a living space or specialized area.

While our sheds may come with a higher upfront cost, they offer long-term value. Investing in a quality shed means you won’t need to replace it every few years. As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for."
