How to Build a Garage – The Fox’s Way!

August 27, 2008 · Leave a Comment

These are photos of a double wide garage (that’s a two-car garage) being built in our factory.

We build each section separately when we are working on a larger two-car garage. These photos show the stages of construction in our climate-controlled facility; from the walls and floor being built; the roof being installed, and then finally it is delivered to your property and fastened together by our experienced contractors.

Thinking of adding a garage to your property? Contact us at www.FoxSheds.com or call Fox’s Country Sheds & Structures directly at 717-626-9560. We’ll walk you through each step to make sure that your every need is met for a price you are comfortable with. No BS! Just good, quality service!

Our newest design – the Cape Cod garden shed!

August 24, 2008 · 2 Comments

Do you know the origin of the “cape cod” style home? A style that is as popular today as it was when it

Fox's Cape Cod style shed

Fox's Country Sheds in lancaster pa

was first introduced to America, the cape cod style home has been around since the 17th century. Really!

English colonists where the first to build these steep gabled homes, mimicking their homes back in England. Through the years, they were re-styled to weather the stormy Nor’Eastern weather – little pun intended ;-) . This is how those famous shutters and the steep pitched roof became a large part of the Cape Cod style home.

From these original designs, the term “Cape Cod” style home was invented. At Fox’s Country Sheds & Structures, we have now invented our own “Fox’s Cape Cod” shed! We’re proud to introduce our newest baby…

Wheeee!!!!

August 22, 2008 · Leave a Comment

When my kids were little, we had one of those metal swing sets that we probably got at Kmart.  It was never

Maintenance Free! Vinyl Swingsets!

Maintenance Free! Vinyl Swingsets!

heavy enough to anchor quite properly, and if the kids swung too high one end would lift up and down, causing me to fear the worst.  The slide was metal, so when it was hot and sunny out the kids couldn’t use it without burning their little behinds.  Worst of all, it was prone to rusting, so it wasn’t very safe either!

Then, wooden swingset play yard became all the rage, but splinters aren’t too welcome during a little kid’s playfest.  Yes, the “forts” were fun, but not if you got splinters on your fingers and knees and you climbed up the ladder.

Then, some genius discovered that you can take heavy duty vinyl and wrap it around solid 4 x 4 and 2 x 6 lumber, and voila!  The result was the birth of the vinyl swingset!

Look ‘ma!  No more splinters!

Look ‘pa!  No more wood staining!

Look grandma and grandpa!  No more burning our precious little bottoms on metal slides!

Fox’s Country Sheds has a number of vinyl playsets available in stock for immediate delivery, and available by custom order for meeting your personal needs and budget. Our vinyl swing sets are maintenance free!  No staining, no warping, no cares!

We’ll deliver it locally and set it up for you ~ all you need to supply is “fun”! (and perhaps a glass of cool lemonade for our workers if it’s a really hot day!)

Just imagine the hours of fun your child will spend, safely playing in your own backyard.  Best of all, our playsets can be added to and changed around as your needs and your family grows.  What a great investment!

Now why didn’t they invent these things when my kids were little!!??!!

I must admit that I am tempted sometimes to just sit and swing the day away on our lot at 537 E 28th Division Highway.  So, if you drive by and see me swinging away…. stop and give me a great big push!  Wheee!!!!

a berry, berry nice color for your new shed

August 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment

We have a great new color that has been getting some AWESOME feedback from our buyers here at our

Vinyl Shed from Fox Sheds with a new shade ~ Bayberry!

Vinyl Shed from Fox Sheds with a new shade ~ Bayberry!

Lancaster PA shed building manufacturing plant at Fox’s Country Sheds.  It’s berry, berry pretty!

Actually, it’s BAYBERRY ~ and it’s the newest shade that we carry in stock for customizing your new shed, potting shed or garage.  It’s such a pretty, soothing color, and I can honestly admit that so far we haven’t had any “garage” orders for it.  Garages are typically a guy-thing, and they tend to like them as neutral (brown-ish/beigh-ish) as possible.  But, oh, this BAYBERRY color is getting to be popular with the lovely garden storage sheds that we’ve been building and delivering throughout Lancaster County Pennsyvania!

The Bayberry color of vinyl siding that we offer is sort of a “sage green” color ~ lovely for a unique potting shed or even just any typical backyard shed.  It’s a very “in” color for the exterior of homes, as well, and we are happy to accommodate our buyers and offer this vinyl shed to match their homes.

Pictured with this shed-blog post is a custom order that we did with classic Green shutters and a lovely ivory trim ~ and even a green roof!  Of course, we can customize it to meet your tastes.  We’ve done a few with lovely ivory trim and a “driftwood” shade of Architectural shutters.  Lovely!
