Buying a portable building should be exciting, not complicated. Whether you’re looking for extra backyard storage, a place for lawn equipment, a workshop, or space for a future project, there are plenty of decisions to make along the way. From choosing the right size and style to deciding on colors, features, and payment options, it helps to have a simple process.


At Stor-Mor Portable Buildings, we make it easier to find a building that fits your needs, property, and budget. With online shopping tools, customizable options, local dealers, and multiple ways to pay, you can move through the buying process with confidence.


Here are some of the ways Stor-Mor makes buying a portable building easy.

1. Browse Portable Buildings Online

You don’t have to visit a dealer lot to start searching for your next portable building. Stor-Mor makes it easy to begin shopping online whenever it’s convenient for you.


You can browse available inventory, explore different building styles, compare sizes, and get a better idea of which options fit your needs and budget. Shopping online is especially helpful if you’re still in the early stages of deciding what you want.


Maybe you need a smaller shed for tools and seasonal items. Maybe you need more room for lawn equipment, an ATV, or a future workshop. Looking through different options online can help you narrow down what will work best before taking the next step.


And because you can browse from your phone, tablet, or computer, you can start your search from the comfort of home.

2. Find a Stor-Mor Dealer Near You

Sometimes, you need to see a building in person to know if it’s the right one.


Stor-Mor has authorized dealers throughout its service area, and the dealer locator makes it easy to find a location near you.


Visiting a dealer gives you the opportunity to walk through different buildings and get a better sense of their size, layout, and features. A building can feel very different once you’re standing inside it, especially if you’re trying to determine how much room you’ll need for equipment, storage, or a future project.


You can also speak with a local representative who can answer questions and help you understand your options. Instead of trying to figure everything out on your own, you can get help throughout the buying process.

3. Build Your Own With the 3D Builder

Have a specific building in mind? Stor-Mor’s online 3D Builder allows you to turn your ideas into a customized design.


With the 3D Builder, you can explore different options and see how your selections change the appearance of your building. It gives you the opportunity to experiment with styles, sizes, colors, and available features before deciding what works best.


This can be especially helpful when you’re trying to coordinate your new building with your home or property. Instead of imagining how different combinations might look, you can see your choices come together on the screen.


You can also make adjustments as you go. If you change your mind about a feature or want to explore another option, you can update the design and continue customizing.


It’s an easy way to get a better picture of your future building before moving forward.

4. Choose From a Variety of Building Styles

Everyone has different storage needs, which is why having options matters.


Stor-Mor offers a variety of portable building styles designed for different purposes. Whether you need straightforward backyard storage, additional room for outdoor equipment, or a larger space for a specific project, you can explore different styles to find one that fits your plans.


The right building often depends on what you plan to store inside it.


If you primarily need space for gardening supplies, tools, and seasonal decorations, your needs may be different from someone looking to store a lawn mower or ATV. Likewise, someone planning a workshop or hobby space may prioritize floor space, windows, and other features.


Having different building styles and sizes available makes it easier to choose based on how you’ll actually use the space.

5. Customize Your Building to Fit Your Needs

Finding the right style is only part of the process. You also want your building to work for you.


Stor-Mor offers a variety of customization options so you can create a building that better fits your needs and preferences. Depending on the building and available options, you can make selections involving colors, doors, windows, and additional features.


Think about how you’ll use your building before choosing your options.


If you’re storing larger equipment, consider how you’ll move it in and out of the building. If you want to create a workspace, think about where you may need windows, a workbench, shelving, or other available features. If appearance is important, you can select colors that complement your home or surrounding property.


Customization helps turn a portable building into a space designed around what you need instead of settling for a one-size-fits-all solution.

6. Explore Different Payment Options

Once you find the building you want, the next step is deciding how you want to pay for it.


Stor-Mor offers multiple purchasing options, giving customers flexibility when choosing what works best for their situation.


Customers who want to own their building immediately can purchase it outright. Financing options may also be available to qualified customers who prefer that route.


Stor-Mor also offers Rent to Own through Heartland Capital Investments. Rent to Own gives customers the ability to make payments over time rather than paying the entire purchase price upfront, and no credit check is required for the program.


A 90 Days Same as Cash option is also available, providing another choice for customers who want additional flexibility when purchasing their building.


With multiple options available, customers can choose a payment method that better fits their budget and circumstances.

7. Get Help From a Local Representative

Online tools make shopping convenient, but having someone available to answer your questions can make the process even easier.


Stor-Mor’s authorized dealers and representatives can help you throughout the buying process. If you’re unsure about the size you need, want to learn more about available options, or have questions about customizing your building, you don’t have to make those decisions alone.


This gives customers the best of both worlds. You can do your own research online when it’s convenient, then talk with a representative when you need additional information.


Whether you already know exactly what you want or are just beginning your search, help is available along the way.

8. Know What You Need Before You Buy

One of the easiest ways to simplify the portable building buying process is to think ahead.


Before choosing your building, consider what you plan to use it for now and what you might need from it in the future.


Start by making a list of the items you want to store. Think about lawn equipment, tools, holiday decorations, outdoor furniture, recreational equipment, and anything else currently taking up valuable room in your garage or home.


Then, think beyond storage. Could you eventually use the building as a workshop or hobby space? Are you likely to purchase additional lawn equipment? Would extra shelving or floor space be useful later?


Planning for future needs can help you choose a building you’ll continue to enjoy rather than one you quickly outgrow.

9. Feel Confident in Your Purchase

A portable building is an investment in your property and your available space, so it’s important to feel confident about what you’re purchasing.


Stor-Mor buildings come with a five-year craftsmanship warranty, providing additional peace of mind after your purchase. Having warranty support means you can feel better knowing Stor-Mor stands behind the craftsmanship of its buildings.


Combined with the ability to explore your options beforehand, customize your building, and work with a local representative, that support helps make the overall experience easier from the beginning and beyond.

A Simple Way to Find the Space You Need

Finding the right portable building doesn’t need to be overwhelming.


Stor-Mor gives you multiple ways to explore your options and make decisions at your own pace. You can browse available buildings online, visit a local dealer, use the 3D Builder to customize your own design, explore different payment options, and talk with a representative when you have questions.


Most importantly, you can choose a building based on what works for you. From the style and size to the colors and available features, Stor-Mor makes it easier to find a portable building that fits your needs.


Whether you need more room for lawn equipment, seasonal decorations, tools, hobbies, or everyday storage, your search can start right from home.

By the middle of the year, many garages have become catch-all spaces. Spring projects are still underway, summer activities are in full swing, and it's easy for tools, sports equipment, gardening supplies, and seasonal décor to pile up faster than you can organize them. If you've reached the point where parking your car feels impossible or finding the right tool has become a frustrating scavenger hunt, you're not alone. Mid-year is the perfect time to take a step back, clear the clutter, and rethink how you're using your space. One of the easiest ways to reclaim your garage without a costly renovation is by adding a portable shed or storage building. Moving the right items into a dedicated outdoor storage space not only frees up room inside your garage but also helps you stay organized throughout the rest of the year. Here are some of the best items to relocate—and why a portable building makes all the difference.
