You do not need every upgrade. You need a clean, dry place to get the mower, the totes, and the yard tools out of the weather, and you want to spend the least you reasonably can to get there. An economy shed in Ocala does that. Here is the part most lots will not tell you: we will show you exactly what the economy line gives you, exactly what it leaves off, and let you decide with the full picture in front of you. No pressure, no upsell you did not ask for.
An economy shed is the entry-level building in our lineup. We sell the Stor-Mor Tru-Valu Utility, a wood-framed shed wrapped in 29-gauge metal siding and a 29-gauge metal roof. It rides on 2×6 floor joists, stands on 75-inch walls, and opens through 70-inch double doors wide enough to roll a push mower or a wheelbarrow straight in. The trusses sit 24 inches on center under a pitched gable roof. It is a real building, made to give you covered, dry storage for the lowest price we offer.
Here is what it is not. The economy line is not our wood-sided model with the 50-year LP siding warranty, the double 2×8 top plate, and the LP ProStruct treated floor. Those features are why our premium sheds last for decades, and they cost more. The economy shed trades some of that long-haul build for a lower sticker price. That is a fair trade for a lot of people, and a poor trade for others. We would rather you know the difference up front than find out later. If you plan to keep heavy loads in it for twenty years, we will point you to the wood-sided Utility Shed instead.
You have rakes leaning in the garage, totes stacked in the carport, and a mower you back around every time you need the car out. You have looked at prices and felt the sticker shock, and you have been burned before by a thin building that did not last or a lot that tacked on a delivery fee at the end. You do not want to overpay for features you will never use, and you should not have to. You deserve a straight answer about what fits your need and your budget.
An economy shed earns its keep when you need covered storage for tools, lawn equipment, totes, holiday bins, bikes, and the overflow that does not belong in the house. It is a strong fit for a rental property, a starter building on a new lot, a clean backup storage space, or anyone who wants to spend less now and keep the option to upgrade later. If your plan is light-to-moderate storage and a price you can live with, this is the building that gets you there without stretching.
Cheap does not have to mean cheap to deal with. An economy shed from us is still a real building, set up on your spot, with the price you were quoted and a local family standing behind it.
The economy shed keeps the build simple and the price down, and it still gives you the bones that matter for honest storage. Here is what is standard:
Economy sheds come in these sizes: 8×12, 8×16, 10×12, 10×16, 10×20, 12×12, 12×16, 12×20, and 12×24. The 10×16 is the popular pick in Marion County because at 160 square feet it is the largest size that generally does not need a permit outside city limits. On the 12-foot-wide buildings the width is measured eave to eave, so a 12-foot model measures about 11 feet 2 inches wall to wall inside. Tell us what you are storing and we will confirm the size that fits.
We get it. Buying the cheap option can feel like a gamble, because too often it is. You have seen the low price that grew at checkout and the lot that went quiet once they had your money. That is not how we work.
Joe has been building for 30 years. Since the family took over the business, they have delivered around 200 buildings and carry zero repossessions on the lot, while it is common to see six or eight repos sitting on a competitor’s lawn. Sandalwood is veteran-owned, female-owned, and family-run, and a Stor-Mor authorized dealer. When you call after the sale, you reach the same people who sold you the building. Joe has driven out to help a customer with an issue after the fact, because that is what a neighbor does.
Buying economy does not mean buying alone. You get the same honest guidance and the same local backup on the lowest-priced shed as on the most expensive one. Read the full story on why folks choose us. Or stop by the lot in Belleview and we will walk the buildings with you.
If the economy shed is about getting more for less, the payment options should match. You can pay cash, finance through Launch Credit Union, take 90 days same as cash, or go rent-to-own with no credit check required. Rent-to-own lets you take the building home now and pay it off in small monthly payments, with no long-term contract holding you down.
We approve on debt-to-income, not only a credit score, and we will tell you honestly if a payment does not fit your month. We do not want the building back, and we do not want you over-borrowing on storage. See how rent-to-own works.
For most buyers, the 10×16 economy shed is the sweet spot. In Marion County, a building of 160 square feet or smaller generally does not need a permit when it sits outside city limits, and a 10×16 lands right at that line. That is the biggest economy shed you can usually place without dealing with the county.
City limits in Ocala, Belleview, and Dunnellon have their own rules, and setbacks, zoning, and HOA limits still apply anywhere. We do not pull permits for you, but we will tell you what we know about your area so you can check before you buy. When in doubt, call your local building office, and call us at 352-624-6405 with any questions.
Picture the mower under cover, the totes off the floor, and the car back in the garage where it belongs. The yard looks cleaner, the tools are dry, and you did not blow the budget to get there. That is what an economy shed, set up right and priced honestly, looks like done well. When you are ready to outgrow it, the upgrade path is right here waiting.

2. We confirm the right size and price it all in. We match you to the economy size that fits, with delivery and setup included and no hidden fees.

An economy shed is the entry-level building in our lineup, the Stor-Mor Tru-Valu Utility. It is a wood-framed shed with 29-gauge metal siding, 2×6 floor joists, 75-inch walls, and 70-inch double doors, built for basic storage at the lowest price we offer near Ocala and Belleview.
The economy shed is metal-sided and keeps the build simple to lower the price. Our wood-sided models add features like the double 2×8 top plate, the LP ProStruct treated floor, and the 50-year LP siding warranty, which help them last for decades. If you need long-haul, heavy-duty storage, the wood-sided Utility Shed is the better fit.
No. The 50-year siding warranty applies to our LP wood-sided models, not the metal-sided economy line. We would rather you know that up front. Ask us about the warranty on the Tru-Valu before you buy, and we will give you a straight answer.
The economy line is the lowest price point in our lineup, and pricing depends on the size and any options you add. Tell us the size you need and we will give you an all-in quote with delivery and setup included and no hidden fees.
Yes. You can take an economy shed home on a rent-to-own agreement with no credit check, and pay it off in small monthly payments with no long-term contract. We also offer Launch Credit Union financing and 90 days same as cash. Link: /financing/rent-to-own/
