OUTBUILDING ...<br />

than they purchased just seven or eight<br />

years ago.<br />

Fisher Barns, with its main Abbeville location,<br />

also has a Greenwood retail location<br />

and the company has merchandise at several<br />

area outbuilding dealers.<br />

“If you would like power connected to<br />

an outbuilding, we first recommend that<br />

you check with your local zoning office<br />

about obtaining any necessary permits,”<br />

Fisher said. “Most customers now want<br />

an outbuilding that is going to enhance<br />

their property and blend with existing architecture.”<br />

Fisher said a majority of customers request<br />

painted wood exteriors, painted trim,<br />

several windows and metal or shingle roofs.<br />

“More people want our finished interior,<br />

too, with tongue-and-groove pine walls<br />

and finished flooring,” Fisher said. “The<br />

most popular dual use outbuilding we do<br />

is one that can be used as a child’s playhouse<br />

and storage, but we have also done<br />

ones that double as office or work space<br />

and storage. We’ve done the greenhouse<br />

idea a time or two, but it can be tough to<br />

get enough natural light, particularly in a<br />

built by Fisher Barns<br />

wooden building.”<br />

Fisher said the easiest way to determine<br />

what size building you need is to walk<br />

through various sizes on display.<br />

Jeff Miller, assistant store manager with<br />

Lowe’s Home Improvement of Greenwood,<br />

said the store will install wooden storage<br />

buildings on properties, or customers can<br />

do it themselves.<br />

There are also metal and vinyl buildings<br />

available that customers can put up<br />

themselves.<br />

“If you want something easy to move<br />

around, choose vinyl. If you want something<br />

not so easy to move, go with metal or<br />

wood,” Miller said. “If you want something<br />

with a number of available options, ranging<br />

from weather vanes to flower boxes and options<br />

for doors, windows, ventilation, paint<br />

and shelving, go with wooden.”<br />
