A compact ranch-style building with shorter walls and a lower overall height. It is the least expensive way into the line, and for a mower, a wheelbarrow and a wall of hand tools it is frequently all anyone needs.
Worth knowing
Interior walls run about 6'3", so this is not the choice if you plan to stand tall shelving against them or work inside for long stretches. If that matters, the Tool Shed Tall is the same building with the height added.
