Why Buy Your Smart Shed From Lakeside Building Sales?

Local Service & Support

Lakeside Building Sales isn't just another dealer; we have been an Authorized Smart Shed Partner since the brand launched in 2017. Working directly with the founders at Peach State Builders, we helped pioneer the standards for these premium portable buildings. When you order from us, you aren't getting a middleman—you are getting expert service from a team that has known these buildings since day one.

Engineered for the Southeast

Standard barns struggle in our climate; Smart Sheds are built for it. Equipped with PerforMAX™ moisture-resistant flooring, LP SmartSide® to resist termites and rot, and Radiant Barrier roofing to block 97% of the sun's heat. This is modern storage engineered to survive—and stay cool—in the Georgia and Carolina summers.

Superior Warranty

Every new Smart Shed purchase includes a 5-Year Warranty on the workmanship and extends to longer manufacturer warranties on most of our materials. This includes a 25-Year Manufacturer Floor Warranty, 40-Year Manufacturer Warranty on our metal roofing, and a 50-Year Manufacturer Warranty on our siding.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I needed a workshop with a workbench and shelving for my motorcycle projects. The Smart Shed utility building with the radiant barrier actually stays cool enough for me to work in during the afternoons. Noah did a great job setting it up in my yard! I highly recommend Lakeside Building Sales if you need a well built shed.

We love our 8x12 utility shed from Lakeside Building Sales. Taylor was able to make sure they got it delivered before our privacy fence was installed. It will be the perfect space for me to re-pot my house plants, and store our gardening supplies in. We live in Greenville, SC but ordered this Smart Shed from Hartwell, GA because it is better built than any we looked at locally.

This is the second 10x16 utility shed we have purchased from Lakeside Building Sales. Mike at the Hartwell location has been a joy to work with both times. The electrical package was included on our second shed and I regret not ordering our first shed with the electrical package. At least I can plug in a heat lamp in one of the buildings to keep my baby chicks warm.

We got our 12x32 utility building from Lakeside Building Sales in Commerce. It is the perfect size for us to store our lawncare and landscaping business equipment in. The electrical package comes in handy for battery chargers and blade sharpeners for the mowers. Our rent to own payment is only $400 a month, which is much cheaper than the single bay shop we were renting in town.

The perfect storage shed for our pool equipment and the kids' sports equipment in the summer! The shed has the radiant barrier in the roof and stays surprisingly cool. We special ordered a 10x20 utility from Lakeside Building Sales in Commerce. It was delivered right on schedule. Chad did a great job using the Mule to put it right by the edge of our patio near the pool. I recommend Lakeside Building Sales for all of your storage shed needs!

How Smart Shed Side Utility Buildings Outperform the Competition

Feature

Smart Shed's Solution

Typical Competitor

Climate Control and Heat Reduction

Summers in GA, SC, and NC can be brutally hot. Fortunately, We have solutions to keep your shed's interior cool, and it's valuable contents damage free.

Radiant Barrier, Sprayfoam, and Ridge Vents

Every Smart Shed comes standard with LP TechShield Radiant Barrier Roof Decking which results in up to 30° F. decrease in interior temperatures. Ridge Vents are also standard in every building with, a screened vent at the highest point of the roof. Want a real climate controllable space? We offer sprayfoam insulation as an option in every custom build.

Inferior Gable Vents

No radiant barrier is typically included, turning the shed into an oven with interior temperatures that can exceed 140° F. They typically use cheap gable vents that allow wind-blown rain to soak your belongings. Upgrades like sprayfoam insulation are rarely, if ever, offered.

Heavy Duty Floor Systems

You can sure fit a lot of weight in all that space, so a strong, impermeable floor is a requirement. Our garage buildng floors are so strong, you can and we have parked tractors in them.

Performax 500 Flooring

Every Smart Shed comes standard with Performax 500 Flooring by Huber Engineered Woods. It includes a 25-year manufacturer warranty. It is highly resistant to moisture, has a skid resistant surface, and can be painted.

Standard Plywood/OSB

Susceptible to swelling, warping, and delamination. Absorbs water and oils. Less aesthetically pleasing.

Roof Warranty

Any shed's most important line of defense against the elements is the roof.

40-Year Metal Warranty

We install high quality American steel roofs standard on all Smart Sheds. Our roofs are backed by a 40 year manufacturer warranty.

20-30 Year Warranty

Our competitors often use lower grade metal roofing resulting in shorter rust-through times and paint that fades more quickly.

Wind Safety

Hurricanes, thunderstorms, and other wind events can spell disaster for some portable buildings.

Hurricane Ties and High Wind Anchors

Smart Sheds have Simpson Strong-Tie hurricane screws securely fastening every truss, to the double top plate walls. When you order your shed, ask about high wind anchors for buildings in windy areas.

Hurricane Clips

Other buildings have hurricane clips on only end rafters or even on all rafters. Although effective, they are less aesthetically pleasing and can cause problems if you choose to finish the interior of your shed.

Siding

Siding quality is the main factor to consider if you want a shed that looks amazing for years to come.

50-Year LP SmartSide

Standard siding on every Smart Shed is rot and termite resistant LP SmartSide which carries a 50-year manufacturer warranty. Choose from a wide variety of beautiful paint and urethane colors to make your building just how you envisioned it.

Standard T1-11

Other buildings have T1-11 siding which weathers quickly. If you choose a building with T1-11 siding, be sure to budget time and money for annual maintenance.
