Thanksgiving is coming along with Bennett Steel Structures to Greer.

Once again we are putting together holiday packages with Shawn's Christmas trees.  Before Thanksgiving we will have a big red Bennett metal barn and hundreds of Christmas Trees at our Greer sales center.  We want to create an unforgettable Christmas spirit.  As always, buy or rent-to-own a shed and get a tree for free!  More about this in a couple of weeks!

Columbia loves Cool Sheds!

My, my what a great day.  Not only was the weather beautiful, but all of our locations were busy with customers today.  In fact Rickie Smith, set a record today in Columbia.  Our biggest sheds are 12 x 36, he sold two of them.  In addition he sold an enormous steel structure, Bennett Barn.  Last but not least he sold a site built shed as well.  We can do it all!  Carports, Steel Barns, portable sheds, or site built sheds.  We are here to help you with your storage needs.  Just give us a call and we can take it from there.

Made in the USA

I was watching the news this evening and I was so pleased to see that Diane Sawyer did a piece on how we can save our economy by buying from those made in the USA.  We believe in that concept.  We employ American workers to deliver and build US products.  Bennett carports and structrures are made in the USA; down the smallest screw.  If you need a carport, barn, or steel structure, we encourage you to buy from Cool Sheds.  We represent all the best of our American and southern culture.  To find out more about the piece,  check out this link.

We are professional shed movers. Come and see why!

Here is a snapshot of our Truck with our mule tucked away behind the cab.

Here is a simple video showing our Pine Hill hydrolic trailer loading a shed.


These two videos will show our "mule" at work.  It can move any size shed around with ease, and we use it to position sheds perfectly!

Anchor and strap your shed properly to weather any storm

Many people are purchasing sheds to serve their storage needs. We certainly appreciate that business from our wonderful customers.

Although only some areas require anchors on sheds, we have found many people would like to have their sheds anchored to the ground, to better insure the safety of their valuable stored inside. Many folks also need ramps to their sheds.

At cool sheds we offer ramps and anchors. Our professional service team is prepared to come to your home and attach one of our ramps, or anchor your building securely to the ground.

Whether you are looking for a shed, carport, or building; you need a ramp, anchors, or maybe a shed relocated...we at Cool Sheds are equipped and ready to help you. Just give us a call.

What is Cool Sheds all about?

Over the past two years we have learned a number of things. The most important is that we are in the shed and carport business. We don't try to do a bunch of other things. We don't sell pools and supplies, we don't sell farm equipment or mobile homes.

We have four focuses to our business.

First is we sell, finance, and offer great Rent-to-Own on Bennett Buildings. We are proud to say they are the best manufacturer of engineered sheds and buildings.

Second is the transportation of these Bennett buildings and other buildings. We have a specialized pick-up truck, custom designed and built trailer, and a shed tractor called a mule. Also on our truck is every tool you can imagine for dealing with the removal, installation, and transportation of a shed. This includes a machine to quickly anchor your building to the ground.

Because of our specialized professional equipment and the fellas operating it, we offer our transportation service to anyone across the state of South Carolina.

Third is our custom, site built shed service. If we cannot deliver a Bennett Building to you, we can custom build barns, lofted barns, wood sheds, vinyl sided sheds, or anything else you may need.

Fourth is our Bennett Carports and Steel Structures. You will not find a better product anywhere in the market place. Made in the USA and installed by English speaking Americans. In addition we offer multiple warranties in addition to our standard warranties. The competition doesn't even come close to the guarantees we can offer.

We would love to earn your business. Please give us a call toll free and let us help you with your storage needs.

Thanks... from all of us at Cool Sheds!

Great job in Columbia, SC - Rickie

What kind of sheds can we move?




We can transport many different styles and brands of sheds. We can pick up and deliver them all over the state of SC. The only thing we need to be careful with is our trailer.


The runners on the bottom of the shed to be moved must be no wider than 74.5". Anything wider than that will not fit on our trailer.


If you just need a shed moved around your property, we have a specialized "mule" tractor that can do those types of jobs very easily.

For more information, give us a call toll free...

Premium Carports, Barns, and Steel Structures now available!

Cool Shed's is now an authorized and certified "Bennett Buildings Carports and Steel Structures", dealer. Bennett offers the highest quality materials and service in the United States. Here is a list of reasons of why our product is the the best in the market.

1. All of our materials...all the way back to where we source our steel is "Made in the USA". No Chinese or Mexican materials.

2. All of our installers are English speaking Americans. Our customers will have no problem communicating to the installers that arrive at their house to build the structure. This also means that our money goes to support American workers, their families, and our American economy!

3. Our steel materials are grade one quality. Most other manufacturers are using grade two for both their galvanized steel framing and the ribbed sheet metal.

4. Galvanized steel framing is the industry standard. Different companies use different strength quality as well. We use 14 gauge on our smaller stuff and 12 gauge framing on our lager stuff. We use galv-alum, with UV coating. What this means to you the customer is very simple. Our product does not get the white chalky residue (called white rust). It also means that our framing comes with a 20 year warranty. Our competitors offer no warranty or you have to upgrade to a 12 gauge steel for them to offer a warranty. We offer a full warranty for both our 14 gauge and 12 gauge framing.

5. The metal that we use to cover our buildings are also top grade. Our standard US Steel panels come with a 10 year warranty. You can also upgrade to an energy star rated grade one panel. This is the highest quality metal made. It is the same metal used for roofing houses and commercial buildings. We offer it 20 colors and this comes with a 40 year warranty. Yes! A 40 year warranty.

6. An added bonus is the colored screws. Some companies offer colored screws, which is a nice touch, but they don't exact color match. This is because they buy from China. Our US based company makes the screws and the metal, so that we get exact color matches.

7. Speaking of matching colors, we are also able to match colors for both our out swing doors as well as our roll-up doors. This is a very nice touch to any building. Matching Doors!

8. Windows are another option we have upgraded. We do not use bottom line cheap windows. We have opted for an upgraded window with the boxed window pane look to it.

9. Installation is a big problem right now for many companies. Standard install time is currently 5-8 weeks. Our current install time 3-4 weeks and we have been able to install our last set of orders in 2 weeks.

10. Our overall design uses a better machine to bend the metal. Our framing has a long smooth look to our corner bends, as opposed to a triple puncture bend currently used by most other manufacturers. Also our UV treated galv-alum framing has a glossy shine to it, making it really stand apart from the standard galvanized steel.


Our product, service, and speed of delivery is far superior to the industry standards currently being used. You deserve more for your money than the standard. Let us give you something you will be proud of and give you the satisfaction of our 20 year / 40 year warranty.

Give us a call if you would like to find out more. We are currently offering our products to NC, SC, GA, and northern FL.

We will be able to display these options on our website very soon. Until then, I can tell you this...

Coastal Building and Sheds vs Inland Buildings and Sheds

At Cool Sheds we sell and deliver buildings across the whole state of South Carolina. From our Charleston / Summerville and Myrtle Beach locations we stock only coastal wind zone buildings. From our Lexington / Columbia location and our Greenville / Greer location we sell non-wind zone buildings.



If you are looking at the inventory that we have in stock on our coastal lots, we can deliver any of those buildings statewide. The inventory that we have on our inland lots, we can only deliver to inland locations. Coastal areas require a wind zone building. If you have any questions or you think you need to special order something specific, please give us a call.

Do you need your shed moved?

Here at Cool Sheds we want to help you! Whether you want to move your shed to another spot on your yard, or down the road a few miles...we can help.

If you are trying to sell your shed, we can be a great help in delivering your shed to your future buyer.

For us to move your shed we have a few requirements.

It needs to be an engineered shed -- one that was delivered -- not one that was built on site. If you need help determining whether or not we can help you, give us a call.

We will need to see photos of the building, the current location on the property, the address of the current location, and the location and address of where it needs to be delivered. We charge a base fee and hourly rate. We can never estimate exact cost, but the better the information you provide us, the better we can estimate the total cost. If you need us to come take a look at your situation, we require a $50 service fee payable before we come visit. If you choose to use our services, the service fee will be credited to your transport fee.

Our service is designed to help those of your listing on Craigslist.com better figure out a true cost to help sell and deliver your building to your potential buyer. Your customers will appreciate the fact that you thought enough about your shed and their need; to figure out the total cost to get them what is is they really want. Folks aren't looking for a shed...they are looking for a shed put at their house!

Cool Sheds Electrical Outlets, Switches, Overhead and Electrical Trees Explained



Video Transcript:
"Welcome to Cool Sheds.  My name is Keith, and I’m going to show you real quick how our electrical systems work.  Anytime you see overhead electric, this is in all of our new buildings, you have a switch, two outlets and a reset switch that will come up the conduit and go down the length of the roof there.  One, two, three, or four light bulbs depending on what you request.
We can come down at the end or the opposite side for the other outlet. 
We can add as many as you like.  You can also choose whether you want your switch at the back door or the rollup door.  But this is called overhead electric.  If on our description sheet you see electric tree, all that means is that you have a conduit coming up to a two-outlet non-reset box, a switch, and then a light bulb right there."

Aluminum and Steel Roofs Explained


Video Transcript: 
"Welcome to Cool Sheds.  My name is Keith.  I’m just going to show you a quick example about our roofs.  You’ll notice on this one, that is called a box-cut aluminum.  That was done on many of our older styles.  This over here—I’ll go to this lower building so you can see—that roof is a 29-gauge galvanized steel.  You’ll also notice that any time there’s a box-cut aluminum, you’re going to have these smaller vents and you’ll have them on both sides of the building. 
But on the steel-roof building, you’re going to have a ridge cap running the complete length of the building.  That offers more ventilation than the 29-gauge steel, allows for a lot strong protection in the case of hail, limbs, and things of that nature."

Carports at Cool Sheds

We offer car ports and steel buildings online here at CoolSheds.com, at our Greer, SC location, and our Lexington, SC location. We represent the brand "Steel Buildings and Structures" in Greer. In Lexington we offer the brand "Quality Outdoor Products". Online and in Lexington we are now offering Bennett Buildings Carports and Steel Structures. Bennett is a premium product with 20 year and 40 year standard warranties.



These companies are independently owned and operated. We act merely as a broker and a retailer for these companies. Cool Sheds does not warranty or guarantee their products, installation, or service. They offer their own guarantees and warranties. We have had very good success with them, and that is why we continue to offer their products.



Our sales staff will help you choose the product you need and give you the purchase price for your structure. We require 10% down, and that money is non-refundable. The company will then set up the construction date and you then pay the balance to the install team.



We have seen recently that Steel Structures installs about 14-20 days from the purchase date. Quality Outdoor products installs about 21-25 days from the purchase date. Bennett is installing in 14-20 days from the purchase date.



Again, we are not responsible for any delays they may incur, and the 10% down payment to Cool Sheds is non-refundable.



Thank you for your business!

Cheap Sheds vs. Dollars Well Spent

Some of the recent visitors to our sales yards have told us about other folks in town offering sheds cheaper than ours. Some people ask us, "What do y'all have that's cheap?" Or, "What do y'all have for a few hundred bucks?"

We have to reply "Sorry, but that's not what Cool Sheds is about."

We offer a quality of product that will stand the test of time for an affordable price. We offer the highest quality that will pay for itself ... time and time again over the years. The folks that buy our sheds enjoy the value of our quality for years to come. They tell their neighbors, family, and friends. These good folks then come to buy from us, telling those that they know about the great qualities of our sheds and buildings.

We won't sell you something cheap. We seek to provide you with what you need and want for a great price. We guarantee our products will stand the test of time, making your dollars very well spent. Thank you to our wonderful customers... and those to come.

Vinyl Sheds Rent-to-Own Policy

For any customers considering our new vinyl sheds...

We had our vinyl sheds custom designed and built. The materials, structure, design, and labor to build these, caused the price to be considerably higher than our metal buildings. Due to the higher cost our finance group will not allow us to do our $99 deal that we offer on our metal buildings. For our vinyl sheds the Rent-to-Own program requires $199 deposit and the first month's rent before we can deliver the building. Thank you for shopping at cool sheds!I

Cool Sheds Racing...


We are now an official sponsor for a kick-ass Go-Kart racing team. No, No, I am not the one driving. The team said I don't have enough time behind the wheel. Instead, we have a very experienced, championship driver name Colby Martin, he is every bit of 9 years old. This weekend Cool Sheds Racing will be buzzing around the Hanging Rock Kartway in Kershaw, SC. Good luck guys!

Top-Notch Transport

We are very proud of our transport team. Brandon and Junior have the experience of delivering thousands of sheds over the past 12 years. No job is too tough, and they make complicated deliveries look very easy. Along with their expertise, we use very specialized equipment, like a pine hill shed trailer and custom built shed tractor - called "The Mule". These are very expensive pieces of equipment that separate our professional delivery service from some guy driving a roll-back, wrecker truck. We block, set, and level all our deliveries, and anchor them down if you need. Before you buy from anyone, find out what they use for delivery. Big trucks can tear up your yard, and your driveway. Let us show you how sheds should be delivered. Thanks for visiting cool sheds.com.

Our yards are stocked and ready to rock!

We have stocked our yards full of great buildings for your shopping pleasure. We aim to keep our stock at around 50 buildings on each yard. Over the next few days our website will be able to show all of our inventories and pictures of each of building at each location. Our inventory for Lexington, SC begins arriving next week. We are very excited about being in Gamecock country.
