Buncombe County • Blue Ridge Mountains
Speedy Sheds delivers across Western North Carolina. Asheville sheds from our inventory handle the elevation, the freeze-thaw and the red clay slopes that define property life up here. Free delivery within 50 miles. Setup included.
Rebuilding After Helene
Hurricane Helene rewrote the storage conversation in Western North Carolina. Garages that used to hold cars now hold salvaged tools, tarps, building materials and emergency supplies. A lot of homeowners lost outbuildings entirely and are starting over with a bare pad and a list of replacement gear to store.
Swannanoa took some of the worst damage through the river corridor. Properties that lost workshops, sheds and detached structures are replacing them now. Demand for properly blocked portable buildings spiked across Buncombe County and has not slowed.
We are not a disaster relief company. We build storage buildings, set them level on concrete block and deliver free within 50 miles of our lots. Right now a lot of Asheville area homeowners need exactly that.
Elevation Changes Everything
Asheville sits in USDA Zone 7b. Winter lows drop between 5 and 10 degrees. That means ice. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles split seams, pop fasteners and warp panels on buildings that weren't designed for elevation. The box-store sheds trucked up from Charlotte fall apart after two or three mountain winters.
Around 40 inches of precipitation hits Buncombe County every year. On slopes, that water doesn't just drain away. It runs. Red clay underneath holds it against the building. Without proper blocking, water pools on the uphill side, wicks into the floor and rots the substructure from underneath. Flat-ground foundation logic doesn't apply up here.
Your building sits on solid concrete block under the runners, set level before our crew leaves. On a sloped lot the ground does the work of deciding block height, not the building. Standard setup uses 4x8x16 solid concrete block, and you supply it before delivery day.
LP SmartSide siding handles the freeze-thaw cycle. Premium buildings get 5/8" Huber PerformMAX engineered wood flooring rated at 206 pounds per square foot, so summer humidity doesn't swell the floor. The metal roof is built to shed weather at 2,200 feet, and every Premium building carries a stamped engineer print certifying it to 150 mph wind speeds. These materials cost more than particle board, and the difference shows over time.
Across the Ridges
Storage needs change fast between the valleys and ridgelines out here. What works on a flat half-acre in Fletcher looks nothing like what a five-acre property in Fairview requires.
Swannanoa and the I-40 corridor east of Asheville took heavy Helene damage. Replacement structures and new storage for recovery materials are the primary orders from this area. Properties along the Swannanoa River that lost outbuildings are being rebuilt with elevated foundations.
Weaverville sits north of Asheville in the Reems Creek valley. Older mountain homes here have steep driveways and limited turnaround space. We need access details before scheduling. The lots are beautiful but the delivery paths can be tight.
Fairview runs along Cane Creek Valley to the southeast. Large rural parcels. Properties measured in acres, not square feet. Barn sheds for firewood and equipment are the standard order. Most access roads are gravel, which works fine for our trailer rigs.
Fletcher and Hendersonville in Henderson County sit at lower elevation with flatter terrain. Subdivisions with standard residential lots. Every shed size sells well because the access is easy and the lots have room. Our highest-volume delivery zone in the Asheville trade area.
Waynesville is 30 miles west in Haywood County past the Pisgah ridge. Mountain cabin owners and retirees from the Maggie Valley corridor order workshops and porch models. Marshall along the French Broad River north of Asheville draws similar orders from artists and homesteaders on rural Madison County land.
East toward Marion and Morganton, elevation drops into the foothills. Delivery routes flatten out and McDowell and Burke County sit inside our free-delivery radius too.
What Mountain Buyers Choose
We carry barn sheds, utility buildings, workshops and porch models. Every building gets LP SmartSide siding, 5/8" Huber PerformMAX flooring and PPG exterior paint. Browse the full lineup or jump into the 3D builder to configure yours.
The gambrel roof is the top seller in WNC. Loft storage overhead keeps the floor clear for the mower, chainsaw, splitting maul and stacked firewood. The steep pitch sheds snow faster than flat-top designs. Mountain homeowners who heat with wood use the loft for seasoned splits and the floor for equipment. One building replaces two needs.
Asheville's maker culture is real. Potters, woodworkers, metalworkers, painters, leather workers. A 12x20 with windows and electrical prep puts a studio in the backyard. No more renting space in the River Arts District or sharing a co-op bench. Walk out back. Start working. Marshall and Fairview properties with room order these as dedicated creative spaces.
The recovery workhorse. Handles overflow from garages stuffed with salvage, building materials, tools and seasonal gear. A 10x16 clears the garage out and actually lets you park inside again. Most in-city Asheville orders start here. Compact enough for tight lots near Montford or East Asheville. Big enough to matter.
A covered porch facing the Blue Ridge is hard to argue against. Storage inside, a place to sit outside. Screen it in and you've got bug-free evenings through September. Waynesville and Lake Junaluska cabin owners order these as backyard retreats. The porch does double duty as a morning coffee spot and an evening decompression zone with a view.

Check Current InventoryMountain Delivery Is Different
Two dealer lots serve WNC. Our York SC lot at 605 W Liberty St handles most Asheville-area deliveries. Our Rockingham NC lot off of 912 Hwy 74 E provides backup from the east.
Mountain delivery requires planning. Steep switchback driveways. Low branches. Tight turns between trees. We need to know your access situation before we schedule. Send photos of the driveway and the placement spot. If the grade is too steep or the path too narrow for our trailer rig, we'll tell you before you commit.
Sloped lots are normal around here and we level buildings on them every week. Your salesperson walks the site with you when you order and works out the block count then, so everything is ready and waiting when the truck shows up. We can level across up to about 30 inches of fall from one end of the building to the other. More than that and the spot needs some work before we deliver.
Free Shed Delivery Across Western North Carolina. We cover Western North Carolina out of our nearest lots and the routes that feed them, and most orders through Buncombe, McDowell and Burke County deliver and set up free. Once you get up toward the Tennessee line it gets thinner, so call (910) 634-3995 and let us check your address. If it's outside the free radius, our sales team can usually still work something out.

Match the Building to the Lot
Mountain lots vary wildly. A quarter-acre in Montford is a completely different building project than a ten-acre farm in Fairview. Here's how orders typically break down.
Garden tools, bikes, camping gear. Fits compact city lots in Asheville proper, Black Mountain and tight Weaverville side yards.
Full household overflow plus firewood. Workbench, ski gear, chainsaw, seasonal boxes. The volume seller across Buncombe County.
Workshops and studios. Room for a potter's wheel, table saw, loom or full art studio with windows for natural light. Asheville's artist population drives this size.
Equipment barns for acreage. Tractor, ATV, firewood supply for the whole winter. Fairview, Marshall and rural Henderson County.
Customize any model. Windows, double doors, loft, ramps, color matching. Configure yours in the 3D shed builder.

Rebuilding gets expensive fast. Our rent-to-own program requires no credit check. Monthly payments. Own the building outright at end of term. Early payoff accepted anytime.
Asheville homeowners replacing damaged structures use rent-to-own to get storage in place now without adding to their reconstruction costs upfront. Airbnb owners who need guest gear storage use the same program. The shed stays on the property. Payments spread the cost across months.
We also offer traditional financing with approved credit for homeowners who want a longer term with lower monthly payments. Rent to own is available on every model we build, up to $25,000. If your building costs more, you pay the difference down at signing and rent-to-own the rest.
Mountain Property Questions
Ask Buncombe County. Permit rules, size limits and setbacks are set locally and they get updated, so call the county planning or building department before you order and ask what they require for an accessory structure at your address. On our side, every Premium building comes with a stamped engineer print on request that certifies 150 mph wind speeds and shows the blocking and anchoring schedule, and that's usually the paperwork a permit office asks for.
Gambrel and gable roofs shed snow naturally because of the pitch. Every Premium building is engineered and stamped to 150 mph wind speeds, with prints available on request for NC, SC, VA and GA. LP SmartSide siding handles the freeze-thaw cycles that split cheaper materials in two or three winters. Weather damage and acts of nature aren't covered under the workmanship warranty, on any building from anybody. That's what your insurance is for.
Bring us what your board requires and we'll build to it. Vinyl siding, architectural shingles, custom paint colors, shorter wall heights and smaller or custom footprints are all available, which covers most of what covenants ask for. We can't approve your building for you, so get your board's sign-off in writing before you order.
Depends on grade and width. Send photos of your driveway and the access path to the placement spot. We'll review and tell you straight if delivery works or if we need to discuss alternatives. No surprises on delivery day. Weaverville and North Asheville driveways are the ones we get the most calls about.
In-stock buildings usually deliver in 7 to 10 days, and build orders run 3 to 4 weeks. WNC deliveries run through the York SC dealer lot. Check current inventory for buildings that may ship faster.
Yes. We're filling replacement orders across Buncombe County. Tell us what you had and what the site looks like now. We'll recommend a size and style, confirm access and get you on the schedule. Elevated pier foundations keep the new building off the ground where it belongs.
No credit check. Monthly payments. Own the building at end of term. Pay it off early anytime. Works well for homeowners rebuilding on a budget and Airbnb owners who need guest storage without upfront capital. Full program details here.
