Slider Lean-To Storage Shed | 12x4

We all know how precious any amount of extra space can be. Our products that feature Sliding Doors can offer you the ability to store our units in tighter spaces where a swinging door is not ideal.

A sliding door gives you greater flexibility in placing a Shed in a nonintrusive way without having to worry about having enough clearance for not only the breadth of the swinging door but also the space necessary for accessing your equipment inside the unit.

Our 12 ft. wide x 4 ft. deep GardenSaver with Sliding Doors “Lean-to” Shed with low back walls features a tall vertical storage area. The doors slide on tracks opening up to 60 in. wide, allowing easy access to all of your gardening and storage supplies.

In tight spaces, the sliding doors allow for better functionality and make maximum use of the space available.

This shed is ideal for rakes, shovels, lawnmowers, and other gardening supplies – maximize the space even further by hanging bicycles on the 96 in. high front wall.

The panelized walls feature Western Red Cedar cladding already attached to the wall framing at our manufacturing facility.

When you add a shed to your shopping cart the price will default to a Standard Plywood Roof. You can leave it as is with the Standard Plywood Roof or you can choose to upgrade to either a Metal or Western Red Cedar Shingle Panelized Roofing System to best suit your needs!

Installation is safe and easy due to the shed’s panelized Western Red Cedar wall and roof design. No dangerous, time-consuming cutting is required, simply screw or nail the components together with the supplied hardware.

The 12 ft. x 4 ft. GardenSaver with Sliding Doors Lean-to Storage Shed is made entirely with renewable resources and accepts a wide range of finishes to help you create a personalized look.

Assembly takes 1 to 2 days to complete with a helper, and the kit includes a detailed homeowner’s assembly manual. We offer weekend customer service support if you have any questions.

The entire unit ships on a pallet via a motor freight company directly to your residence. See our home delivery options to learn more.

Why Western Red Cedar Wood?

Western Red Cedar is a naturally stunning building material with deep, tonal properties that accentuate the richly textured wood grains and exposed heartwood.

For centuries, the Western Red Cedar has been celebrated by the Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations as the “Tree of Life” using it to build longhouses, canoes, and totem poles.

Red cedar’s reputation for being a naturally durable wood makes it perfect for all outdoor projects. The wood is lightweight and valued for its high natural resistance and decay properties.

It is less susceptible to moisture, insect damage, and fungi growth. Cedar is also water damage resistant and can successfully weather long periods of heavy rain and other weather extremes such as snow, hail, and strong winds.

With its unsurpassed natural beauty, centuries of proven performance, low environmental impact, and natural resistance to decay/insects it’s clear to see the advantage of quality Western Red Cedar.

What Is Lift-Gate Delivery

For a Liftgate Delivery:

When you have requested a liftgate delivery:

Our driver will transport your pallet to the rear of the truck, where they will gently position it onto the liftgate. Subsequently, the pallet will be gradually lowered to the ground, positioning it beside the truck.

Feel free to utilize the plastic shipping tarp provided to shield and safeguard your items until you're prepared to embark on your project. Once you've completed its initial purpose, consider repurposing it!

In the event of a liftgate delivery, take a moment to slice through the straps and remove the tarp. Ensure you inspect the pallet for any potential damage to its corners, the presence of wood chips, sharp cuts, or gouges on the product, and verify the integrity of the pallet itself.

For Hand Offload Only:

If you haven't opted for a liftgate delivery, you'll be required to hand offload the items. Here's what to expect:

Our driver will transport your pallet to the back of the truck, where they will cut the straps and hand the individual pieces to you. Typically, each piece weighs no more than 30-50 lbs.

Please be aware that there is a time limit of 15-20 minutes for this free service, so it's advisable to have someone available to assist you. When hand offloading, it's recommended to conduct a brief check of all the pieces as they are handed to you.
