Inverness is the heart of Citrus County, a lake town where folks keep boats, kayaks, mowers, and a little acreage, and good storage tends to fill up fast. From our lot up US 441 in Belleview, about 35 miles east, we deliver and set up sheds, cabins, carports, boat and RV covers, and metal buildings all over Inverness. If you own property here, delivery and setup are included in the price we quote you, with nothing hidden and nothing tacked on when the truck pulls in. Tell us what you are storing and we will get you the right building for it.
Sandalwood Sheds & More is a veteran-owned, family-run dealer in Belleview, Florida delivering sheds, carports, boat and RV covers, and metal buildings in Inverness, FL and across Citrus County. Inverness, the county seat on the Tsala Apopka lake chain, sits about 35 miles west of our lot, well inside our free delivery and setup radius. In-stock buildings arrive in 7 to 10 days, all built for Florida heat, damp, and storms.
Buying a building you have never seen is a gamble plenty of folks around Inverness have come to regret. The flyer looks fine and the price looks low, then a thin metal unit shows up that rusts and racks within a couple of storm seasons. Or a seller two counties away promises one thing, the building arrives wrong, and good luck reaching him after that. Inverness draws a lot of out-of-town outfits happy to drop a building and disappear. You deserve a straight answer and a building that lasts, and that is far easier to get from people who live up the road.
That is how we work. Joe has been building for 30 years, custom homes included, and since taking over Sandalwood he has delivered around 200 buildings across these six counties with zero repossessions on the lot. Walk some competitors’ rows and you will count six or eight repos sitting there, because somebody got sold more building than they could carry. We would rather talk you into the right one once than sell you the wrong one twice. Sandalwood is veteran-owned and family-run, and we are a Stor-Mor authorized dealer, so our sheds are some of the most customizable you can buy. When you call after delivery, you reach the same family that sold it to you.
Tell us the job, and we will point you to the right building.
Lofted barns, utility sheds, garden sheds, and economy buildings, all Stor-Mor built for Florida moisture and termites. The 10×16 is our number one seller.
Inverness sits on the Tsala Apopka chain, so this is boat and kayak country, and the Florida sun is hard on anything left out in it. Regular, A-frame, and vertical-roof covers sized for a bass boat, a pontoon, a motorhome, or a work truck.
Keep the truck, golf cart, and trailer out of the weather with a cover sized to your driveway or acreage.
Steel buildings and enclosed structures for a workshop, equipment, or a growing business, built and priced to your size.
If you came in thinking shed and you really need a cover, or the other way around, we will tell you. The point is the building that does the job, not the biggest ticket.
Inverness is built around water. The Tsala Apopka lake chain runs right through town, the Withlacoochee State Trail brings the bikes and the weekend crowd, and a lot of folks here own a boat, a couple of kayaks, or a camper they want ready to go. The same sun that makes the lake nice is brutal on what you park beside the house. UV breaks down hulls, seals, decals, and gelcoat, and an afternoon storm finds every weak spot. A cover is the cheapest insurance you can buy for a rig that cost you real money.
Head east toward Floral City and the county turns to real horse and acreage country, where a workshop, run-in shed, or equipment barn earns its keep fast. We size a building for the actual job, whether that is a vertical-roof cover for the pontoon, a lofted barn for the mower and the lake gear, or a steel workshop out on a few acres. We deliver and anchor it for Florida wind, and the price we quote includes delivery and setup.
Florida is hard on buildings. The heat, the afternoon storms, the damp off the lakes, and the termites will find a cheap shed and take it apart. The buildings we sell are made to stand up to it. Our Stor-Mor sheds use an LP ProStruct treated floor built for moisture and termites, a double 2×8 top plate instead of a single 2×4 for stronger walls, and double studs every four feet where the siding seam lands so the nails hold. The gable vents are framed, house-grade vents, not a plastic piece tacked onto plywood. The buildings are engineered for 160 MPH wind, and the LP SmartSide siding and trim carry a 50-year siding warranty with a 40-year metal roof.
That is the difference between buying once and buying again every five or six years. We are not the cheapest building you can find, and we will tell you exactly why. Over ten years, the building that does not rot, rack, or rust is the one that actually costs you less, and it still looks right in your yard when the newer places around Inverness have already replaced theirs.
That is the difference you can see and feel, and it is also why our buildings still look right years down the road.
1. Tell us what you are using it for. Storage, a workshop, a she-shed, a cover for the boat or the camper. We start with the job, not the price tag.
2. We confirm the right size and style and price it all-in. One number, delivery and setup included, with financing options if you want them
3. We deliver, level, and set it up, then stand behind it. In-stock buildings in 7 to 10 days, custom in about 20 to 25, and we are the ones you call afterward.
Put it off, and you are still tripping over clutter or watching the boat fade at the dock. Get it right, and you have clean storage or a covered rig set on your property by people who live here too.
Here is the honest version, because skipping this step can turn into a stop-work order or a building you have to move. The rules in Citrus County are not the same as the ones you may have heard for Marion County, and Citrus tends to be stricter about accessory structures, so do not assume the same size carries over from one side of the line to the other. In unincorporated Citrus County, many sheds and carports need a building or zoning permit, and even a smaller structure has to meet setback, zoning, and any HOA rules, which means it has to sit the right distance from your property lines. If your property is inside Inverness city limits, the City handles permitting through its own building department, on top of the county.
We do not pull the permit for you, and a permit is not required for us to deliver, but we will tell you straight what we know and point you to the right office so you are not guessing. A quick call to the Citrus County Building Division at the Lecanto government complex, or to the City of Inverness for an in-town lot, settles it for your exact property. Getting this right up front is a lot cheaper than fixing it after the fact.
Inverness is about 35 miles west of our Belleview lot, well inside the free-delivery ring, so delivery and setup are included in your price. From here we also cover the rest of Citrus County and the communities right around you, including Floral City, Hernando, Beverly Hills, Lecanto, Citrus Springs, and on toward Homosassa and Crystal River on the coast. Custom factory orders deliver free up to 170 miles, so the far corners of the county are covered too. For your full county lineup, see Sheds & Buildings Across Citrus County. You can also see the whole region on Where We Deliver Across North Central Florida.
Yes. Inverness is about 35 miles west of our lot at 9946 US 441 in Belleview, well inside our free delivery and setup radius. We deliver sheds, carports, boat and RV covers, and metal buildings across Inverness and the rest of Citrus County.
Yes. Within about 50 miles of Belleview, delivery and setup are included in the price we quote, with no curbside surprises. Inverness is comfortably inside that ring, and custom factory orders deliver free up to 170 miles.
Yes, and they are popular on the lakes here. We size covers for a bass boat, a pontoon, a motorhome, or a work trailer in regular, A-frame, and vertical-roof styles, and we anchor them for Florida wind. Tell us what you are parking and we will size it right.
It depends on whether your property is inside Inverness city limits or in unincorporated Citrus County, and on the size. Citrus County is generally stricter than Marion County, so many sheds and carports need a building or zoning permit, and inside Inverness the City handles permitting. Setback, zoning, and HOA rules still apply, and we will point you to the right office
Price depends on size, style, and upgrades, and every quote is all-in with delivery and setup included. As a rough idea, a plain 10×16 with double windows runs about $5,300 delivered and set up, and the same size loaded with options costs more. Tell us the build you want and we will give you a real number.
In-stock buildings usually arrive in 7 to 10 days. Custom factory orders run about 20 to 25 days. We confirm your site and access ahead of time so delivery day goes smoothly.
Yes. We offer financing through Launch Credit Union, a rent-to-own program with no credit check, and 90 days same as cash. Joe approves on debt-to-income, not only a credit score, so you do not over-borrow on a building you do not need.
Free delivery and setup, buildings made for Florida weather, and a local family that answers the phone after the sale. When you know what you are using it for, we will size it right, price it all-in, and bring it to you. Tell us and we will take it from there.
