General Shelters

Cabins

The cabin is an economical solution for use as a guest house, studio, hunting cabin and many more uses! This line of buildings was designed to give the end user several choices without having to design their own. By doing this we can hold cost down compared to a custom built cabin. These cabins evolved to give you the best design for the space. But if you don't see exactly what you want, we can still custom build one just for you.

Barns

General shelters' barn style building offers a classic barn look with lots options for storage buildings. The barn is our most popular style of building because of the immense overhead storage capabilities with the addition of a loft. Add a workbench and pegboard for a nice workshop. If you need to get your riding mower or utility vehicle in a dry secure location add a six-foot roll up door. Porches add great functionality and eye appeal to your building. The possibilities are endless. Check out our great selection in Sealy.
