A-Frame

Looking for a budget-friendly, no-frills storage solution? The A-Frame shed is our most economical option, combining classic design with practicality. Featuring a lower roof pitch and compact overhangs, it’s a timeless style perfect for essential storage or a simple backyard upgrade.

About the A-Frame Shed

The A-Frame shed is simplicity at its finest—a versatile and understated structure designed to meet your essential needs. With its smaller footprint and traditional design, the A-Frame is an ideal choice for those seeking functional storage without overwhelming their outdoor space. It’s perfect for storing tools, garden equipment, or even creating a cozy pool house, studio, or she-shed.

The lower 5/12 pitch roof isn’t just a signature feature—it’s what makes the A-Frame affordable and efficient. This design requires fewer materials and less labor to build, resulting in a more cost-effective solution without sacrificing quality. Plus, the lower roofline naturally aids in regulating interior temperatures, keeping the space cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Built with the craftsmanship and care you expect from Lapp Structures, our Amish-built A-Frame sheds are designed to last. Unlike the prefabricated options at big-box stores, our sheds are constructed with premium materials and come backed by a five-year guarantee against manufacturer defects. With proper maintenance, your A-Frame shed will stand the test of time, offering decades of reliable use.

And while it may be our simplest model, the A-Frame doesn’t have to stay simple. With endless customization options for siding, shingles, windows, doors, and shutters, you can tailor this classic structure to suit your personal style and specific needs. Affordable and adaptable, the A-Frame shed is a timeless addition to any backyard.
