About Lancaster County Backyard
The faces behind the business.
We are an Amish-Mennonite family who value hard work, honesty and quality — the principles this business was founded on in 1978, and the ones we still build by today.
Who We Are
We are an Amish-Mennonite family who value hard work, honesty and quality. Our business was founded on these principles in 1978, and because of our willingness to work hard, we were able to involve the whole family and grow it.
We have been family-owned and family-operated from the beginning, and we still value the personal touch and the quality that brings. The people who quote your structure are the people who build it.
When we build a backyard structure, we take pride in what we are doing and work hard to make a building that is durable yet affordable. We would rather sacrifice quantity for quality than sell a structure that fails to meet the high expectations of our customers.
Where It All Started
Abner King founded our parent company, Pequea Storage Sheds, with his oldest son Ivan in 1978, primarily to manufacture sheds. In 1987 gazebos joined the lineup.
In 2006 Abner's sons Steven and Calvin stepped into ownership alongside Ivan. Having grown up around the shop, they only strengthened the company's management and the quality of its products. That same year a fire destroyed the shed and gazebo facility — a hard loss, but it pushed the family to build a bigger, better shop.
In 2016 the company launched Lancaster County Backyard as its retail division, to serve homeowners directly — and to give every customer a straight line to the family that builds their structure.

Our Facility
Our shop and display lot are at 211 S New Holland Road in Kinzers, Pennsylvania. After the 2006 fire we rebuilt the entire facility larger, with more shop space and dedicated construction areas, and in 2021 we opened a new shop designed specifically for timber frame work.
Come and see it for yourself. Walk the buildings on the lot, step inside a finished shed, and ask for a tour of the shop while you are here.
Our “Made as Ordered” Commitment
We are committed to building quality structures that will serve our customers well for many years. From the start, we have been pleasing buyers with our highest grade of craftsmanship and uncompromising quality.
While some sacrifice quality for quantity, Lancaster County Backyard takes pride in each one of our structures, and makes every effort to produce a durable yet affordable building that meets your individual needs and complements your home or place of business.
If we make a mistake on a structure, we will either fix the error at no charge to you or credit you the dollar amount of the mistake.

Trusted by Many
We changed things a couple of times on our Workshop shed and it never was a problem. When the shed arrived it was better than expected. Now that it is in place, we show it off to all who come by.
Pat & Dianne
Met all of our expectations! Outstanding quality, and we are very happy with how the whole process went from the first call to delivery day.
Bob
The crew was professional from start to finish. The garage is exactly what we asked for and the finish work is a cut above anything else we looked at.
