Quality storage sheds, carports, garages, and metal buildings delivered to homes and properties all across Gainesville, from the University of Florida side of town to Haile Plantation, Jonesville, and the oak-shaded acreage out west. Veteran-owned, family-run, and built to last in Florida weather. Delivery and setup included.
Gainesville has no shortage of roadside lots and factory-direct names selling on price and volume. What it does not have is us standing on a lot in town, and that is fine, because we bring the building to you. We are a local dealer a straight run south on US-441 in Belleview, we know this corner of North Central Florida, and our job is to help you get the size and style right the first time, then deliver it and set it in place.
Sandalwood Sheds & More sells and delivers sheds in Gainesville, FL, along with carports, garages, run-in shelters, and metal buildings. As a veteran-owned, family-run Stor-Mor dealer just south in Belleview, we serve Gainesville and the University of Florida area with quality buildings engineered for Florida weather, delivery and setup included on local hauls.
North Central Florida is hard on a building. The summer humidity sits heavy from May into September, the afternoon storms roll off Paynes Prairie all season, and the sun bakes a roof every day it is not raining. A thin metal box from a roadside lot can look fine the week it lands. Then the floor starts to sweat, the panels oil-can in the wind, the doors stop hanging right, and a couple of summers later you are back to shopping for the same thing twice.
The harder part is not only the wasted money. It is the feeling of being handed whatever was sitting on the lot instead of being helped. You asked about storage for a mower, a workshop, a boat, or a quiet office out back near campus, and what you got was a sales pitch and a delivery fee that showed up at the end. A building in your Gainesville backyard should be one you are proud to show off, not one you have to apologize for. Buy the wrong one and you pay twice, once for the building and again when you replace it. In a town where no local lot is looking out for you after the sale, you deserve a straight answer and a building that earns its place.
We are Joe and Elisha, the veteran-owned, family-run team behind Sandalwood Sheds & More in Belleview, a short run south of Gainesville on US-441. Joe spent more than 30 years building, so he can look at your lot and your use case and tell you the right size and style, even when that means steering you to a smaller building than you walked in asking for.
We have delivered around 200 buildings and have not had one come back. We answer the phone after the sale. As a Stor-Mor Authorized Dealer, we sell wood buildings engineered for Florida weather, and we explain the construction so you can see the difference instead of taking our word for it. If a cheaper building does the job, we will tell you. That honesty is why our North Central Florida neighbors keep sending us theirs, even from a city where we do not keep a lot.
Storage Sheds. Lofted barns, utility sheds, cottage and garden styles sized for a mower, tools, or a full workshop. Built for Florida and delivered ready to use.
She-Sheds & Backyard Offices. Finished cabins and interiors that become a home office, art studio, or quiet retreat out back, a real draw for the University of Florida area and Gainesville’s remote workers and graduate students.
Regular, A-frame, and vertical-roof carports that protect a truck, boat, or trailer from Gainesville sun and summer storms.
Steel buildings and garages sized to the job, from a single-bay garage in Haile Plantation to a workspace off Williston Road or NW 6th Street.

Shelters and storage for the horse and hobby-farm properties out toward Jonesville, Tioga, and the western edge of town.
We deliver buildings all across Gainesville, from the University of Florida side of town out to the rural west. That includes Haile Plantation, Tioga, and Jonesville, Northwest Gainesville and the Millhopper area, the historic Duckpond, the southwest neighborhoods near campus and Butler Plaza, and the northeast side toward Waldo Road.
Every part of town calls for a different building. A finished backyard office fits a near-campus lot, a lofted barn handles the mowers and gear on a Jonesville acre, and a carport keeps the boat covered before the next run up to the Santa Fe River. We will help you match the right one to your lot. Not sure if we reach your address? Ask us, and we will tell you straight.
Gainesville is the county seat, and we cover the rest of the county too. See the full county page: Sheds & Buildings Across Alachua County, FL.
Here is the honest version. Inside Gainesville city limits, a storage shed over 120 square feet generally needs a building permit, and a shed of 120 square feet or less is usually exempt. If you want power run to it, that electrical work needs its own permit no matter the size, and your shed footprint counts toward how much of your lot can be covered, so the house, driveway, and any other structures all factor in. Permits run through the City of Gainesville Building Division, and you can start online. Your setbacks, zoning, and any HOA still apply.
If your property is outside the city in unincorporated Alachua County, the rule is different, so it is worth confirming which one you fall under. We are not going to guess on your behalf, and we will not tell you to skip a step you actually need. Tell us your address and your use case, and we will point you to a size that fits and what the city will want to see.

Tell us what it is for. Call or request a quote and tell us your use case and your Gainesville neighborhood. We will confirm the right size and style.
Pick how you pay. Cash, Launch Credit Union financing, rent-to-own, or 90 days same as cash. We qualify on more than a credit score.
We deliver and set it up. In-stock buildings typically arrive in about a week, delivery and setup included for the towns inside our local range.
Picture it set in place: the mower and tools finally out of the garage, the truck and trailer under cover, or the quiet finished office you have wanted for years sitting clean and ready out back, a short walk from the kitchen and an even shorter commute than the drive to campus. It matches your home, it shrugs off the next storm rolling in off the prairie, and you are not thinking about replacing it. That is the point. Buy once, buy right, and get back to enjoying the Gainesville property you worked for.
Yes. We deliver storage sheds, carports, garages, she-sheds, and metal buildings across Gainesville, including the University of Florida area, Haile Plantation, Jonesville, Tioga, and Northwest Gainesville. We are based just south in Belleview, a straight run down US-441.
Inside the city, a shed over 120 square feet generally needs a building permit, and a shed of 120 square feet or less is usually exempt. Anything with electrical needs its own permit, and your shed counts toward your lot-coverage limit. Permits run through the City of Gainesville, and unincorporated Alachua County has different rules, so verify which one applies to your address before you build.
It depends on the size, style, and options, so we price each building all-in with delivery and setup included rather than quoting a sticker that grows later. Tell us what you are using it for and we will give you a real number, and we offer financing and rent-to-own if you would rather spread it out.
For Gainesville addresses inside our local delivery range, delivery and setup are included in the price with no hidden fees. For longer hauls we offer free delivery on custom orders within about [confirm mileage]. Tell us your address and we will confirm.
Yes. Our finished cabins and interiors make a quiet home office, studio, or retreat, which is popular with University of Florida faculty, remote workers, and graduate students who need real space out back. Ask us about finished interiors.
Cash, Launch Credit Union financing, rent-to-own, and 90 days same as cash. We qualify on debt-to-income, not only a credit score, so more Gainesville buyers can get approved.
Tell us your neighborhood and what the building is for. We will help you size it right, give you an all-in price with delivery and setup included, and stand behind it after the truck pulls away. Built to Last. Built for Florida.
