Lovely custom Amish built Gazebo

Our August/September Gazebo Sale is over now, but we just had to share these photos of a beautiful custom-built gazebo that a customer ordered from us.  He took advantage of our 5% off sale, and added some upgrades and options to personalize this beauty.

Who says two’s company and three’s a crowd?

Our Amish-made swingsets are large enough to keep ALL of the kids busy! So, who says that Two is Company, and Three is a Crowd? Our swingsets can fit 2, 3, 4 and more kids on them at one time!

Here at Fox’s Country Sheds, we get loads of grandparents purchasing swingsets for their own backyards, so that the kids have something to play

Vinyl Amish Playset

and climb on when they come to visit.  It takes me back to when my own parents purchased a home right down the street from mine, when my boys were little.  The house they happened to buy had a great climbing fort that the previous owner had built.  It wasn’t vinyl like the long-lasting ones that we sell now, but instead it was made of some kind of wood.  It was pretty old by the time my parents purchased the house, and I know my kids got their fair share of splinters in the hands, arms, knees and feet, so there was always a handy set of tweezers, some band-aids and some iodine handy for grandma’s emergency procedures.  I know that they would have preferred to have had a vinyl set, but they really weren’t around way back then.  The fort ended up facing the same fate that most wooden structures face – demolition.  It was a sad day.

Now, I see the faces on all of the children light up as grandma and their parents pick and choose the vinyl playset and the accessories that will be delivered to these waiting backyards.  I can just hear the glee in these children’s voices.  It brings me back many, many years.

Our playsets range from smaller sets for small backyards, to great big large forts, climbing walls, ladders, tubes and more.  There is a size and a price range for every budget.  We also offer 0% financing for those who want it, Same as Cash for 90 Days.

Amish Vinyl Swingsets, Towers and Jungle Gyms

So yes, there is plenty of room for little Jane, Brandon, Jeffrey, Susie, and all of their friends to play on our Amish made vinyl playsets and swingsets. We can order whichever set will suit your needs the best.  So, not only is 2 “company”, but 3 and 4 and more are much more fun!  Invite the whole neighborhood! (or not!)

You can visit us at:  Fox’s Country Sheds, 537 E 28th Division Hwy (Route 322 across from Esbenshade’s Garden Center), just north of Lititz PA in Brickerville, Lancaster County.  You can also order your playset online at www.FoxSheds.com .

Not only do we work hard at Fox’s Country Sheds, but we love what we do!

I also have a habit of walking around with my camera taking pictures of interesting details.  Thought I’d share some with you!

What am I:

Am I a wooden wheel?

1. An Amish buggy wheel?
2. A Conestoga Wagon Wheel?
   
3. A Port Hole?
4. A Vinyl Gazebo Ceiling?

Bingo! If you guessed #4 – A Vinyl Gazebo Ceiling, you’re correct!

As you can see from this close up photo, our Gazebos (Vinyl and Wood) are made of the finest lumber and the finest Lancaster County Amish craftsmanship you can find!  Just look at that detail!

Growing Pains

Holy moley! Our plant has been so busy lately, it’s pretty unbelievable!  I think that most homeowners are realizing something that we’ve know for a long time – that long-lasting vinyl ATTRACTIVE storage sheds are a bonus to your home’s property when you are starting to OUTGROW your current home, yet are not in a position to sell and move to larger digs.

ItThat’s what I call Growing Pains! can be quite a pain to pack up and move, when all you really need is just more room for your stuff!  With the economy the way it is, it seems that people are leaning towards not going on vacation, and not buying larger homes, but rather improving (and enjoying) the homes that they are in.

We’ve definitely seen a rise in our attractive luxury items, such as our gazebos which can beautify every yard

Customize your new porch patio and pool house shed to meet your needs.

and add extra shade and resting space.  But, we’ve also been seeing a HUGE increase in the sales of our porch patio upscale sheds, which many people use as pool houses and extra outdoor living space.  We’ve definitely seen an increase in homeowners installing in-ground pools and deciding to vacation “at home” instead of spending valuable gas money for traveling vacations.

Remember that these structures can be customized to meet YOUR specific needs! So, if you’d like the porch area to be larger – We can Do That! If you’d like glass patio doors installed – We can Do that! If you’d like an electric package installation so that you can hook up a ceiling fan or a mini fridge, and even the t.v. – We can Do that, too!

We recently customized a shed – turned poolhouse – with great big screened windows, a huge usable porch, and a detailed electrical package.  The homeowners have been enjoying it alongside their newly installed pool, and have hooked up their t.v. and an air conditioner.  So they’re staying cool, while their neighbors swelter!  A bonus is that the flooring can be made out of poly-decking, so that it’s maintenance free!

And best of all – we offer FINANCING!! There are many different finance packages available – so stop by today and talk to us.  We can even do 0 % interest-free for 12 months! Holy Moley!  If you’re thinking of NOT going on vacation, and instead vacationing in your own backyard, just think of the savings overall! We’d love to be invited for a cold drink once you have your new Fox’s Country Sheds structure in place!

On another note — We are looking for DEALERS for our custom shed orders! Remember that we are a manufacturing facility first and foremost. Although we love dealing with the public and selling from our manufacturing facility to those who visit us, we strive to offer our dealers the same quality, personalized service! We will also supply your with your own brochures and samples, so we make it easy to work with us while you brand yourself!

If you are a dealer or retailer of lawn supplies, garden supplies, lawn or outdoor furniture, or if you are a pool company or installer – talk to us about becoming a retail dealer for Fox’s Country Sheds!  We have dealers in PA, NY, NJ, VA and other surrounding states – but we need more to help us out!

Vroom Vroom went the little red car

Rev up those engines all you lovers of classic cars! The Lancaster County Cruisers are holding their 9th annual car cruise on July 5th, 2008, from 2pm to 9m.  Willow Street will be “roaring” with the sounds of engines as the cars gather in the field behind the Willow Street Fire Company, located at 2601 Willow Street Pike.

What does this have to do with a Lancaster Shed Building company?  Well, where do you think all these Lancaster hot-rodders keep their classic cars?!  In a Fox’s Country Shed custom built garage – that’s where!

Donations are accepted for visitors to the car show, with the proceeds helping a good cause – Clare House, which provides housing and services to homeless women and their children.  Unfortunately, causes such as this are necessary, and what a worthy way to assist our community.  There is a registration fee to enter your car in the show, and the first 300 entries will receive a commemorative dashboard plaque.  Woo hoo!

I’ve been to a number of these car shows, as we’ve shown our car at a few of them.  This classy ‘68 Firebird calls our garage “home sweet home”.

If you are a classic car owner in Lancaster PA and the surrounding areas and are looking for more storage for your car collection, consider speaking to the pros at Fox’s Country Sheds to build your new structure.  We can custom build one-car and two-car garages, workshops, barns — whatever your needs are.

Muse’s from a country shed builder

I’m excited to start this blog, and share some of my views from our country corner of the world in Lancaster County, PA.

It’s never quiet in the office, with the fax machine spitting out new orders, to customers stopping by asking if we sell sheds. Well, Yes we Do! We are not only a manufacturing and wholesale facility, but we are a retail outlet as well.

We’re starting to plan on redecorating our office and retail sales area, but it seems that there are never enough hours in the day to get everything done. In the meantime, though, we are working on some new designs that should be available as soon as our wholesale orders slow down a bit. Since just about everything is custom made, attention to detail is paramount. Our dealers, as well as our retail customers, deserve our undivided attention ~ so, the office and retail renovation is taking second place for now.

In the meantime, take a look at one one of our latest designs ~ Fox’s Potting Shed! It’s a potting shed that every master gardener would be proud of, including Martha Stewart! If I had a green thumb, I’d have one of these in my yard for sure.

The Potting Shed offers a row of 24″ x 36″ windows, a potting bench, and a roof-length skylight panel.

We’ve sold out on all of our in-stock Potting Sheds, but will be happy to custom build one for you. Choose your siding and trim colors to match your home, or add colors to complement your garden flowers.

If you are interested in custom ordering one of our sheds, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with one of our friendly staff. You can find us along Route 322, just across the street from Esbenshade’s Garden Center and approximately 1 mile east of Brickerville, in the heart of Amish Country ~ Lancaster County, PA.

We ship your shed to you ~ so if you are visiting from out of the area, no worries!

Check back soon for updates on more of our unique designs, and updates on our office renovation (if we ever get around to it!)
