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 />
