Buying a shed isn’t a small purchase, so you want to ensure you’re buying a shed of superior quality that will last. We encourage you to ask a few key questions to learn about the durability of the shed and about the company’s integrity that you’re purchasing from.

What are the sheds made of compared to what others in the industry use?

A shed may look like quality on the outside, but you need to inspect it thoroughly. Ask some of these questions:

-What materials are used to make the shed?

-Is the roof vented? Does it have a vented ridge?

-What keeps the floor from being damaged when you move the shed?

When purchasing a Cook Portable Warehouse, you can find these answers easily by talking with any of our dealers or right here. Or, take our Dare to Compare Checklist with you while you shop to see how other options measure up.  

 

What warranties or price guarantees are available on the new shed?

Make sure you understand the warranties before you make your final purchase. With any Cook portable building purchase you will receive a lifetime warranty on all treated components. There is also the option to upgrade your warranty, read about these options.

 

Who will be delivering the shed? Who will be in your backyard? 

Your home and land is your private space. When you purchase a shed, always ask who will be delivering it and their connection to the shed company.
