Virginia's Trusted Shed Dealer

Storage Sheds in Richmond, Virginia

Across Richmond, you’ll find a mix of historic pre-1950 homes near downtown and newer subdivisions on the outskirts. What most of them share: not enough storage space. Evergreen Sheds delivers Amish-built storage sheds to Richmond and the Richmond Metro area. Real structure, real materials, lifetime warranty. Not the sheet-metal box from the hardware store.

Why Richmond Homeowners Choose Storage Sheds

Climate. Richmond 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 urban and dense suburban lots, typically 0.1 to 0.25 acres, most Richmond 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 a zoning permit is still required. Setbacks are typically 3–5 feet on the side and rear in urban districts, though this varies widely. For specifics on your lot, reach out to City of Richmond Dept. of Planning & Development Review ((804) 646-6304).
Urban lots are often narrow, and historic district overlay zones add restrictions. Many areas are R-6 or R-48 zoned.
