Virginia's Trusted Shed Dealer

Storage Sheds in Tappahannock, Virginia

Across Tappahannock, you’ll find older rural homes, waterfront properties, and retirement and vacation homes. What most of them share: not enough storage space. Evergreen Sheds delivers Amish-built storage sheds to Tappahannock and the Northern Neck area. Real structure, real materials, lifetime warranty. Not the sheet-metal box from the hardware store.

Why Tappahannock Homeowners Choose Storage Sheds

Climate. Tappahannock sits in USDA Zone 7b, which means hot, humid summers and enough freeze-thaw cycles to destroy cheap materials fast. Coastal Plain transitional 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 Coastal Plain transitional typically requires a properly graded gravel pad to prevent shifting and moisture problems.
Space. With rural and semi-rural properties with larger lots, typically half an acre to five acres or more, most Tappahannock 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 typically exempt from building permits, but zoning compliance is always required. Typical setbacks are 10 feet on the side and 10–25 feet at the rear, depending on zoning district. For specifics on your lot, reach out to Essex Building/Zoning Office ().
Check the local zoning ordinance for specific requirements — HOA rules may add additional restrictions.
