Storage Building Project:
Backyard Workshop | Custom Working Space Designed for Longevity
Winchester, Kentucky
Project Overview:
This custom backyard workshop in Winchester, Kentucky showcases how post-frame construction can transform a residential property into a functional and visually striking workspace. Built in 2021, the 42′ × 63′ structure was designed to provide a durable and flexible environment for equipment storage, hobbies, and year-round project work.
With its crisp white steel siding contrasted by black roofing, trim, and wainscot, the building delivers a clean, modern aesthetic that complements the surrounding property while maintaining the rugged durability Walters Buildings is known for.
Thoughtful design features like large sliding doors, decorative shutters, and architectural accents like a cupola and gable windows make this workshop both highly practical and visually distinctive.
Customer Experience:
We are so happy with our experience using Walters Buildings. From the initial conversation with Travis, the entire building process was seamless. Both Travis and Tom were great at communicating with us through the entire process. The materials used and the craftsmanship is second to none. We love our new building and have had so many positive comments about it. Thank you Walters Buildings for such an incredible experience! 
The Building
Measuring 42′ × 63′ × 14′, this post-frame workshop was engineered to provide generous interior space for equipment storage, project work, and hobby use.
A standout feature of the design is the Touch of Class sliding doors positioned beneath the eyebrow entrance, creating a welcoming and functional entry point. A lean-to porch on the main entrance side, facing the home, provides convenient covered access and adds architectural interest to the structure.
The building’s white steel walls paired with black wainscot, roof, and trim create a bold, high-contrast appearance that has become a popular design trend in recent years.
Decorative window shutters tie the color palette together, while gable windows and a cupola window allow natural light to filter into the building. In the evening hours, the interior lighting shines through these windows, giving the workshop a warm glow and making it a standout feature of the property.
For easy equipment movement, the workshop also features large dual sliding doors at the rear, providing convenient access for tools, machinery, and larger items.
