Many Americans consider adding a storage shed to their backyards for additional space. A great advantage of having an Amish shed is that it can serve your multi-purpose needs. You can use sheds as storage for gardening equipment or as a downtime room where you can relax and reset every once in a while. Sheds come in different shapes and sizes. Store-bought sheds are mass-produced in factories. Hundreds of pieces are pumped out to be shipped off to wholesale stores. Amish sheds, on the other hand, are hand-built one at a time by skilled craftsmen. From specific cuts on the lumber to assembling a completed shed, a lot of care and effort is put into building each and every one. If you are interested in getting a high-quality shed for your house, here are 5 things you should know.

Pre-built and custom made options

Amish sheds come with the flexibility of pre-built and custom design options. Pre-built Amish sheds usually come finished with paint and flooring of your choice. If you are looking for sturdy storage space with a few shelves and open floor space to store your backyard equipment, a pre-built option can be great for you. These can also include customizations such as extra windows, 9-lite doors, and much more.

Sturdy and Durable

Amish sheds are more durable compared to store-bought sheds. Hand-built by skilled artisans, these sheds can withstand harsh weather conditions such as snowstorms, rainfall, and heavy winds. The sheds are made from materials that are leakproof, so you don’t have to worry about any seepage.

Rust and decay protection

The wood used to build Amish sheds is pressure-treated so it can withstand termite damage and decay. Any exposed nails are thick-coated and galvanized for maximum strength and anti-rust protection.

Compact and spacious

Amish sheds are constructed in a way that ensures compact sizing with maximized interior storage space. Whether you are using it as a utility shed, mini-barn, or workshop, you will get ample storage for your items. You can also customize it to include double doors to fit larger items or even a roll-up garage door. If the shed is going to be used as your workspace, you can include windows to allow natural light and ventilation.

Increase the value of your house

You can get a great quality Amish shed built for your backyard without having to break your bank. The cost is quite reasonable for the quality of craftsmanship. Years down the road, when you decide to sell your house, you will have a competitive advantage over other buyers. Having a well-built portable building can dramatically increase the value of your property. Here at Amish Outdoor Buildings, we take pride in our quality, service, and products.

How far can a ground rod be from panel?

homeguides.sfgate.com - How Far Should a Ground Rod Be From the House? - Home Guides

NEC Article 250 does not specify a minimum or maximum distance between the main electrical panel and the ground rod. Because the panel must be connected to the ground rod by a buried copper wire, however, best practices suggest that the shorter the distance to the ground rod, the more efficient the ground. The standard copper wire size should be no smaller than No. 6, and most codes recommend No. 4 wire. Where the ground rod is located far from the main electrical panel, thicker No. 3 wire may be required. In areas where codes require two ground rods because of high electrical resistance in the soil, the rods must be spaced at least 6 feet apart and interconnected by a buried jumper wire.
