About Coles Sheds
How Everything Came Together
Cole’s Sheds started when I had a crazy idea to build a shed in my backyard and try to sell it, even though I had no carpentry experience. Luckily, my father thought it was a great idea and helped me get started. He had all the tools and experience, which made a huge difference.
Once I finished my first shed, everything started to get easier. I began to understand carpentry a lot more, and I was able to sell that first shed. I delivered it on a rented trailer from Johnson’s True Value. My dad and I hauled it all the way up to Lincoln.
Getting my first paycheck felt great, and I used that money to pay for materials to build an even bigger and better shed. After taking a summer building, I bought a 24x8.5 hydraulic trailer so I could deliver sheds more easily.
Later on, my dad bought a piece of land in Pembroke, and he let me use part of it to build sheds instead of working out of my parents’ backyard. We brought in gravel and set up a proper area to work. My aunt also made me a big sign to put out front, which helped bring in more business.
I want to thank everyone who has helped me get this far, especially my dad. He has supported me through this whole journey and helped me more than I can say.
