Metro Sheds for RV Parks & Tight Spaces

A Metro shed is a compact storage building made for tight spaces, RV parks, and small lots around Ocala and Belleview, Florida. Sandalwood Shed’s & More builds Metro sheds in 6×8, 6×10, and 6×12 sizes with 6-foot walls, a single-slope roof, and a 50-year LP SmartSiding warranty. Free delivery and setup are included within 50 miles. Call 352-624-6405 for a free, all-in quote.

You do not have a half-acre to spare, and you do not want a building that swallows your yard or breaks an RV park rule. You want real storage that fits the space you actually have. That is what a Metro shed does, and we will help you size it right the first time.

Maybe you are on a small lot in town. Maybe you run or live in an RV park where every pad is measured and the height is capped. Maybe your HOA will not approve a tall building, or you simply do not want a big shed eating your only open space. Either way, the gear still piles up. The tools, the hoses, the totes, the things that should not live in your truck or under a tarp.

It wears on you. You get tired of stepping around clutter, tired of being told the only option is bigger and pricier than you need, and tired of buildings that look cheap and fall apart in a Florida summer. You deserve a straight answer and a building that fits your space and lasts. A Metro shed gives you real, covered storage with a low profile, and we will tell you honestly whether it is the right call for your spot.

What a Metro Shed Is and Why It Fits Tight Spaces

The Metro shed is the compact member of our shed lineup. It is built low and tidy, with 6-foot walls and a single-slope roof, so it slides into spots a taller building cannot. That low profile is exactly what wins approval in RV parks and in communities with strict height limits, and it keeps sightlines open on a small lot.

Here is what you get in a Metro shed from Sandalwood:

  • Three space-saving sizes: 6×8, 6×10, and 6×12, which is 48, 60, and 72 square feet of covered storage.
  • 6-foot side walls and a single-slope roof for a low, clean look that fits height-restricted spaces.
  • A 3-foot shop door with transom windows for easy in and out and natural light. Larger Metro sizes can carry double doors.
  • 50-year LP SmartSiding and a 30-year shingle roof, built to take Florida sun and rain.
  • A 10-year LP ProStruct treated floor on 2×6 joists, so it stands up to moisture, weight, and Florida termites.

It is small on footprint and serious on build. That is the point.

Built for Florida, Not Just for the Showroom

A small shed is still a building, and Florida weather does not go easy on it. We build the Metro the same honest way we build everything on the lot, because a building that gets replaced every five or six years is not a deal, it is a tax.

The proof is in the parts you do not see from the road:

  • LP SmartSiding and LP trim with a 50-year siding warranty, made to handle Florida moisture instead of swelling and peeling.
  • An LP ProStruct treated floor built for our humidity and termites, set on 2×6 floor joists so it holds the weight you put on it.
  • A double 2×8 top plate instead of a thin 2×4, so the walls are stronger up top where it counts.
  • Double studs where the siding seam lands, giving you a solid surface that holds a nail when you hang shelves or hooks.
  • Framed, house-grade gable vents, a real vent framed into the wall, not a plastic flap stuck on plywood, so the air moves and the inside stays drier.

You can match the siding color and the shingle to your house if you want it to blend in, or keep it simple. Either way, it is built to last.

We are not the cheapest sticker on the lot, and here is why that saves you money. A Metro shed that is built right, delivered with no surprise fees, and backed by people who pick up the phone costs less over ten years than a bargain building you replace twice. That is the honest math.

Do You Need a Permit for a Metro Shed Near Ocala?

For most of our customers in Marion County, a Metro shed is small enough that the county does not require a building permit, because all three sizes sit well under the square-footage limit that triggers one. That is part of why small sheds are popular here. We do want you to know the honest caveats: rules inside the Ocala, Belleview, and Dunnellon city limits can differ, and setback, zoning, and HOA rules still apply. Permitting is the customer’s responsibility, and we are glad to point you in the right direction.

Why does this matter? Because skipping the part that does apply to your lot can mean a stop-work notice or moving a building you already placed. A quick check up front saves the headache, and a low-profile Metro shed is one of the easiest buildings to get approved in a height-restricted spot.

Who It's For and Where We Deliver

The Metro shed is a good fit for RV park owners and residents who need compact, low-profile storage on a measured pad, for homeowners on small lots and in 55+ communities with height limits, and for small businesses that need a tidy spot for supplies without a big footprint.

We deliver and set up free within 50 miles of Belleview, which covers Marion, Sumter, Citrus, Lake, Alachua, and Levy counties, including Ocala, The Villages area, Summerfield, Ocklawaha, Dunnellon, and the towns in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Metro shed?

A Metro shed is a compact storage building with 6-foot walls and a single-slope roof, made for tight spaces. The low profile fits RV parks, small lots, and communities with height limits where a taller shed will not work, while still giving you real, weather-tight storage.

We build Metro sheds in 6×8, 6×10, and 6×12, which gives you 48, 60, or 72 square feet. The 6×8 is great for tools and pad storage, while the 6×10 and 6×12 add room for mowers, totes, and longer items.

For most lots in Marion County, a Metro shed is small enough that no building permit is required, since all three sizes fall under the county’s square-footage threshold. City limits, setback, zoning, and HOA rules can still apply, so check your specific spot. Permitting is the customer’s responsibility, and we are happy to point you in the right direction.

Yes, that is exactly what it is built for. The 6-foot walls and single-slope roof keep it low, which makes it one of the easiest buildings to get approved in RV parks and height-restricted communities. Always confirm your park or HOA rules first.
