North Carolina had a lot of snow last week, and some shed owners found out why the carport that they purchased had such a low price tag. That bottom line is - cheap doesn't hold up under pressure. Sheds shouldn't collapse under the weight of a foot of snow. If they do, they're probably installed incorrectly, have steel that is too thin, or weren't braced. At Hometown, you don't have to worry about any of those things.

Buying a storage building is an investment, so when you buy, you need to make sure you're thought through all your choices carefully. For example, at Hometown our sheds have two different kinds of rooflines - gambrel and gable. Here's a little bit about each one. Gambrel. Some say that the gambrel roofline was developed in Indonesia a few centuries ago. Dutch and English sailors realized the advantages of the style, and

We love that our buildings are stylish and attractive, but we also love all of the underlying features that make them the quality, long lasting buildings that people know and trust. One of the things that makes the floors of our buildings strong is that they're made "tongue in groove", which means that every board has a tongue on one side and a groove down the other. The tongue on one board connects to the groove in the

Rhodes company makes concrete, and they needed a place to oversee the machinery and production - from eight feet up.
