Building More Than Sheds: The Garber Family Legacy

Shed Geek Podcast

Join us as we chat with the Garber family from Premier Barns, diving deep into their inspiring journey from humble beginnings in May 1996 to becoming a well-respected name in the shed industry. Listen to Steve Garber recount how he started single-handedly building and delivering sheds with basic tools, and hear his sons, Joel and Mike, share their unique experiences growing up in the business, from hands-on construction to mastering digital marketing.
Throughout the conversation, we reflect on the broader evolution of the shed industry, exploring pivotal changes in consumer behavior, pricing, and delivery equipment that have revolutionized their operations. Steve provides valuable insights into the emotional ups and downs of sales versus the tangible achievements in construction. The discussion also delves into how the shift towards online shopping and the adoption of digital tools have expanded their market reach, even in rural areas, underscoring the importance of a strong digital presence in today's business landscape.
Looking forward, we examine the future of the family shed business and the industry at large. From the impressive engineering of Pine Hill trailers to innovations like the Shed Challenger and Rampage doors, we discuss the challenges and opportunities that automation brings to shed construction. The episode concludes with a heartfelt emphasis on family, training, and industry collaboration, highlighting the joy of building relationships and the integral role of faith and community in their continued success.
