Storage Barn Questions,
Answered.

Glen Slabaugh founded the company in 1995 and continues to own and operate it today. Slabaugh’s Storage Barns is family-owned and has intentionally remained a small, personal operation.

Every building is constructed from start to finish at the Slabaugh’s Storage Barns shop in Shipshewana, Indiana. The entire building process is completed in-house.

Slabaugh’s serves customers throughout Northern Indiana, Southern Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio. Contact the shop to discuss delivery availability and pricing for your location.

Everyday homeowners make up most of the customer base, but Slabaugh’s also builds for farmers, businesses, contractors, churches, cabin owners, and others. Everyone is welcome.

Honesty, integrity, and providing the best possible value guide every project. Glen’s goal is to build the best shed possible for each customer’s needs and help them feel confident in their choice.

A-frame, Quaker, and Gambrel styles provide the most usable storage space and are also strong choices when overhead loft storage is important.
