Denver Home Show Exhibitor Spotlight: Tuff Shed

, , , , , , , , , , ,    No comments
We know what Dad needs for Father's Day: space! Whether it's a man cave, workshop, tool shed, or studio, Tuff Shed can help you create the ultimate backyard space for Dad. Surprise him with a fun and sustainable hideaway where he can retreat and gather his thoughts, wail on his guitar, tinker with a toy, or just relax.



We chatted with the folks from Tuff Shed to get a better sense of the various spaces they can create, the types of services they offer, and how they can help you. Check out our interview below.

What are your featured products this season?
"Backyard buildings of all shapes and sizes. That includes typical storage buildings, but also garages and hot trending buildings designed to provide additional living space like home offices, workout rooms, art studios, or man caves. We've also launched a cabin shell product for people with the dream of an affordable second home."

What can we look forward to from you at the 2016 Denver Home Show?
"We will have building displays that showcase our quality and our ability to customize. Plus, we'll have some new building accessories like metal roofs and new paint colors."

What home design and decor trends are you anticipating for the rest of 2015?
"Besides looking for ways to add more living space with backyard structures like ours, customers seem to be looking for more curb appeal with their backyard buildings. We already have designs and accessories that address this, and we're rolling out additional items like metal roofs and a new paint color palette this year."

What inspires your products?
"We love the fact that we solve customers' problems with our buildings and are inspired by those customers and by our own hard-working people who are dedicated to designing, manufacturing, and installing quality products. We are proud that our customers use Tuff Shed buildings in so many different ways. You should see some of the unique uses and the great lengths we can go to in order to customize our buildings to suit the customer's needs."

What is your favorite part of the Denver Home Show?
"Shows are a great opportunity for us to showcase our buildings and interact with customers."

What advice would you give homeowners?
"Utilize our buildings and your backyard to create additional interior space that fits your life. As far as designing one of our buildings, we tell customers to consider going with a larger building, and to make sure they select ventilation options and interior storage items like shelving and lofts."
