Why Choose a Saltbox Shed?

The Saltbox-style shed is known for its distinctive shape. It features a flat front, asymmetrical sides, and a long, sloping rear roof. The design originated in colonial New England, where homeowners expanded their living spaces with lean-to additions. Today, the Saltbox style makes an ideal backyard shed—adding charm, function, and a touch of history to any outdoor space.
