Virginia's Trusted Shed Dealer

Storage Sheds in Chesterfield, Virginia

Across Chesterfield, you’ll find established 1950s-80s neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, with some historic areas. What most of them share: not enough storage space. Evergreen Sheds delivers Amish-built storage sheds to Chesterfield and the Richmond Metro area. Real structure, real materials, lifetime warranty. Not the sheet-metal box from the hardware store.

Why Chesterfield Homeowners Choose Storage Sheds

Climate. Chesterfield sits in USDA Zone 7a, which means hot, humid summers and enough freeze-thaw cycles to destroy cheap materials fast. Piedmont clay holds moisture against foundations for weeks after rain. Our pressure-treated floors and LP SmartSide siding are engineered for exactly this — rot-resistant framing, zinc-borate-treated panels, and architectural shingles rated for Virginia wind loads. A big-box metal shed rusts through in three years here. Ours last decades.
Foundation prep on Piedmont clay typically requires a properly graded gravel pad to prevent shifting and moisture problems.
Space. With suburban to semi-rural properties, typically a third of an acre to a full acre, most Chesterfield homeowners fit a 10×12 to 12×20 comfortably in the backyard. Tighter lots do well with an 8×10 tucked against the fence line. Larger properties can go 12×24 or bigger without crowding the yard.
Permits. Virginia exempts one-story accessory structures under 256 square feet from building permits — so our most popular sizes (8×10 through 12×20) typically need only a zoning permit. Structures under 256 square feet are exempt from building permits, but zoning compliance is required. Setbacks range from 5 to 10 feet on the side and rear depending on district — 10 feet in R-25, 5 feet in R-15. For specifics on your lot, reach out to Chesterfield County Building Inspection ((804) 748-1057).
Accessory structures can’t exceed the height of the primary structure and can’t be placed in the front yard.
