Show Notes
In San Antonio, you can go up to 300 square feet without a building permit. Tuff Shed designs stick-built custom sheds, studios, chicken coops, and greenhouses — then builds most of them on site in a single day.
Richard Castellanos from Tuff Shed joins Justin McKenzie at the San Antonio Home and Garden Show for episode 1 of the San Antonio Home and Garden Series. They cover full customization, how Tuff Shed handles permitting across San Antonio municipalities (including Castle Hills and Alamo Heights), stick-built framing (2x4, 16 on center), and why a majority of buyers are ditching paid storage units for 24/7 access on their own property.
Tuff Shed runs 74 factories in the US, started 45 years ago under CEO Tom Saurey, and is employee-owned. Residential is the bulk of the business. Commercial work includes school districts, government entities, and builds on San Antonio Air Force bases. Need something truly movable? Their Woodmaster’s division is built to relocate on an ongoing basis.
Design online at tuffshed.com, or visit local yards: 410 and Bandera, New Braunfels off I-35, and south-side locations outside Loop 410. Simpler projects can go from design to schedule in about a week to ten days — and many builds finish the same day the crew arrives.
This is episode 1 of 7 from the San Antonio Home and Garden Show.
