Why Carmel Homeowners Choose Indy Shed Co
If you live in Carmel, Indiana, and you've been searching for a shed builder near you, there's a good chance you've run into the same frustration that led Bill Rollison to start Indy Shed Company: overpriced, low-quality sheds at big box stores and no one who actually knows what they're talking about.
That frustration became a mission. Today, Indy Shed Co is Carmel's go-to custom shed builder, serving homeowners in neighborhoods like Village of West Clay, Brookshire, Grandin Hall, Clay Terrace, and all across Hamilton County. We don't sell pre-fab sheds off a lot. We build your shed on-site, in your backyard, using premium materials — and most builds are completed in a single day.
What Makes Our Sheds Different?
Every shed we build in Carmel starts with a foundation of treated 2x6 floor joists spaced 16 inches on center — not 2x4s like most builders use. On top of that goes 3/4-inch Advantech weather-resistant plywood for a rock-solid floor that won't rot, warp, or bounce. Our walls are framed 24 inches on center with LP SmartSide engineered wood siding, which resists rot, termites, and fungal decay. It's the same siding you'll find on high-end homes across Carmel.
Because we build directly on your property, there are no tire tracks across your lawn, no fences to tear down for delivery, and no cranes needed. We walk the materials in and build it where it belongs. Our Tuff Block foundation system means no concrete is required — just a level spot and we handle the rest.
Our Shed & Outdoor Building Services in Carmel
Whether you need a basic storage shed or a fully customized 16x24 backyard office, we build it to your exact specifications. Here are the most popular builds we do for Carmel homeowners:
Custom Storage Sheds
Our bread and butter. From compact 4x8 garden sheds to spacious 12x16 storage buildings, every shed is built to last 25+ years. Choose your size, siding color, shingle color, and add options like windows, flower boxes, shutters, dormers, transom windows, ramps, lofts, and shelving. Our most popular sizes in Carmel are 8x10, 10x12, and 12x16.
Backyard Office Sheds
Working from home in Carmel? A custom backyard office shed gives you the separation between work and home that your kitchen table never could. Our larger builds like the 12x16 and 16x24 are perfect for a dedicated home office with room for a full desk setup, bookshelves, and even a small meeting area.
Imagine stepping out your back door into your own private, quiet workspace — no commute, no distractions, and a Zoom background that actually impresses people. We can build your office shed with extra windows for natural light, wider doors for moving furniture in, and electrical-ready framing so your electrician can wire it up quickly. Many Carmel homeowners in neighborhoods like West Clay and Bridgewater are converting our larger sheds into full-time work-from-home offices.
Popular office shed sizes: 10x12 (solo workspace), 12x16 (desk + storage), 16x24 (full office suite)
Home Gym Sheds
Skip the gym membership and build your own backyard gym in Carmel. Our custom shed builds make the perfect foundation for a home gym — whether you're into CrossFit, yoga, weightlifting, or just need a private space to stay consistent with your workouts.
Our 2x6 floor system is built to handle heavy equipment like squat racks, weight plates, and treadmills without any flex or bounce. A 12x16 gives you enough room for a solid home gym setup, while a 16x24 shed gives you a serious 384 square feet — more space than many commercial gym studios. Add rubber flooring, a wall-mounted TV, and a portable AC unit and you've got a year-round training facility steps from your back door.
Popular gym shed sizes: 10x12 (yoga/stretching studio), 12x16 (home gym), 16x24 (full gym/training space)
Barn-Style & Gambrel Sheds — NEW!
Our newest offering is the Mini-Barn or Gambrel style shed. These are perfect for Carmel homeowners who want maximum storage with a classic look. With 8-foot walls and a second-story loft that's 4-5 feet tall depending on size, you essentially get two levels of usable space. These are great for storing lawn equipment below and seasonal items up top — or converting the loft into a kids' hangout or hobby space.
She Sheds & Man Caves
Sheds aren't just for storage anymore. Carmel homeowners are turning our custom builds into personal retreats — she sheds for crafting, reading, and relaxing, or man caves for watching the game, working on hobbies, or just having a space that's yours. We can customize the interior layout, add multiple windows for natural light, and build to match your home's exterior so it looks like it's always been there.
Lean-To Sheds
Need a slim-profile shed that fits against your house or garage? Our lean-to style sheds are designed for tighter spaces and are popular with Carmel homeowners who have HOA setback requirements to work within.
Firewood Sheds
Keep your firewood dry, organized, and off the ground with a dedicated firewood shed. These are open-front designs built for maximum airflow and easy access.
Chicken Coops
Backyard chickens are booming in Carmel and Hamilton County. We build sturdy, predator-resistant chicken coops sized to fit your flock and your yard.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Sheds in Carmel, IN
Do I need a permit for a shed in Carmel, IN?
In the City of Carmel (Hamilton County), accessory structures under 200 square feet typically do not require a building permit, but you should always verify with the Carmel Department of Community Services. Larger sheds, especially over 200 sq ft or those in certain zoning districts, may need a permit. If you're in an HOA community like Village of West Clay, Brookshire, or Grandin Hall, check with your HOA first — many have specific guidelines for size, placement, and exterior appearance. We're happy to help you navigate the process.
How long does it take to build a shed?
Most of our standard sheds (up to 12x16) are built in a single day. Larger builds like a 16x24 may take 2 days depending on complexity and customization. We build on-site at your Carmel property, so there's no delivery truck, no crane, and no tearing down fences.

Absolutely! Our larger sheds (12x16 and 16x24) are perfect for backyard offices, home gyms, art studios, and more.
