Virginia's Trusted Shed Dealer

She Sheds in Hanover, Virginia

Across Hanover, you’ll find a typical Virginia mix of housing types. What most of them share: no room that’s truly their own. Evergreen Sheds delivers Amish-built she sheds to Hanover and the Central Virginia area — insulated, finished, and ready for whatever you need it to be.

Why Hanover Homeowners Choose She Sheds

Climate. Zone 7a means your she shed needs real climate control, not a space heater and a fan. Piedmont clay drives ground moisture that’ll warp cheap floors and grow mold behind uninsulated walls within a single Virginia summer. Our structures use pressure-treated floors, LP SmartSide siding, and are prepped for mini-split HVAC that handles the humidity as well as the temperature. You’ll use this space in every season.
Foundation prep on Piedmont clay typically requires a properly graded gravel pad to prevent shifting and moisture problems.
Space. small-town and rural properties, typically a third of an acre to two acres — most Hanover properties fit a 10×12 to 12×20 she shed comfortably. The 10×16 is our most popular size for retreats — enough room for a reading nook, craft table, and mini-fridge without feeling cramped. Bigger properties can go 12×20 for a true multi-zone layout.
Permits. Structures under 256 square feet are exempt from building permits, but a zoning permit is still required. Setbacks are 10 feet on the side and rear in most residential districts, increasing to 25 feet in AR-6 zones. Most she sheds fall well under 256 square feet, keeping you in Virginia’s permit-exempt zone for the structure itself. Electrical and HVAC still need trade permits. For specifics on your lot, reach out to Hanover County Building Inspections ((804) 365-6035).
Accessory buildings are limited to 50% of rear yard area and must sit behind the front building line.
