Storage Sheds in Augusta, GA

Delivery is free within 50 miles of any of the three lots. That covers Richmond, Columbia, and McDuffie counties on the Georgia side and Aiken and Edgefield counties in South Carolina, including Martinez, Evans, Grovetown, Appling, Harlem, Hephzibah, Thomson, North Augusta, Aiken, Graniteville, and Edgefield.

Past 50 miles, delivery is $10 per mile. Rent-to-own orders need to be within 50 miles of a lot.

Each building is placed with a Mule, a compact shed mover built for fenced backyards and tight gates. Plan on a clear path about 2 feet wider than the building and 16 feet of overhead clearance.

Augusta summers are long, hot, and humid, and the ground ranges from red clay in Columbia County to sand toward Hephzibah and Aiken.

• Plan for airflow. If you'll store mowers, tools, or anything that can mildew, ask about windows or vents so heat and moisture have a way out.
• Match the base to your soil. Compacted gravel drains well on clay. On sandy ground, make sure the pad is firm and level so the building doesn't settle unevenly.
• Moving in a few years? If a military move or new job might be coming, a portable building can be relocated to your next property, which a shed built in place can't.

Augusta-Richmond County is a consolidated government, so permits inside the county go through Augusta Planning & Development at 535 Telfair Street, Suite 300, Augusta.

Under Georgia's adopted residential code, a one-story storage shed of 120 square feet or less is generally exempt from a building permit. Larger buildings usually need one, adding electricity usually needs an electrical permit, and setbacks apply at every size.

Confirm before you order by calling (706) 821-1796 or visiting augustaga.gov. In Grovetown, Evans, or elsewhere in Columbia County, or across the river in South Carolina, check with your own county or city, since each sets its own rules.
