The classic A Frame shed has been a Texas backyard staple for decades. But today's A Frames are not your grandfather's storage sheds. Texas homeowners are customizing these versatile structures in creative ways that blend function with personal style. Customers across Fort Worth, Denton and North Texas are getting creative with their shed designs.
Here are the top 7 customization trends we are seeing right now from homeowners in Rhome, Azle and beyond.
Custom A-Frame Shed Designs That Are On-Trend in Texas
1. Go Trendy: Upgrade to Barn-Style Doors
Standard shed doors work fine, but barn-style doors make a statement. These sliding or swinging double doors add rustic charm while providing wider access for equipment. They're especially popular on larger A-Frames used as workshops or for storing riding mowers and ATVs.
2. Add a Loft
The steep pitch of an A-Frame roof creates natural loft space. More and more customers are adding built-in lofts to maximize storage. Use the loft for seasonal items, holiday decorations or anything you don't need daily access to. It's like getting a bonus room for free.
3. Windows
Windows transform a dark storage box into an inviting workspace. Popular options include:
- Standard single-hung windows for ventilation
- Transom windows above doors for light without sacrificing wall space
- Gable-end windows for cross-ventilation
- Decorative shutters for curb appeal
4. Workbench
A built in workbench turns your A Frame into a functional workshop shed. We can customize the height, length and location to fit your needs. Add electrical outlets above the bench and you have got a proper workspace for projects. Customers in Bridgeport and Decatur love having dedicated workshop space.
5. Shelving
Custom shelving keeps your shed organized from day one. Options include:
- Full-wall shelving units
- Corner shelves to maximize space
- Heavy-duty shelving for equipment
- Overhead storage racks
6. Ramp
Skip the step-up and add a ramp instead. Ramps make it easy to roll in mowers, wheelbarrows, bikes and heavy equipment. We build ramps to match your shed's style and can include handrails if needed.
7. Consider the Right Color
Color matters more than you might think. The right color helps your shed:
- Complement your home's exterior
- Stand up to Texas sun (lighter colors reflect heat)
- Hide dirt and wear
- Add curb appeal to your property
