Springtime can be beautiful, but it often comes with a stormy side—thunder rumbles, winds whip through the trees, and sudden downpours turn calm afternoons into chaotic scenes. While we take shelter indoors, what about our outdoor spaces? Specifically, the shed in your backyard that holds everything from lawn tools to precious supplies—can it handle what spring storms throw at it?

🌬️ When the Wind Picks Up: What Really Happens?

The skies darken. A chilly gust races across your yard. Raindrops begin to tap the windows.

In just minutes, that peaceful spring afternoon becomes a full-blown storm.

Everything you stored on the lawn has been tucked away in your shed—safe and sound, you hope. But when meteorologists forecast winds approaching 100 mph, it’s time to question just how secure your shed really is.

To give some perspective:

• 73+ mph: Hurricane-force winds begin here.
• 120 mph: Siding and structural damage starts showing up.
• 150+ mph: Poorly built structures might not survive at all.

The truth is, the durability of your shed depends on more than just hope.

🧱 It's All in the Build

You might assume that sheds can’t stand up to the kind of wind that shakes trees and tosses lawn chairs—but that’s not necessarily true. The key to survival lies in two areas:

1. Interior Security – Are shelves and contents anchored properly?
2. Exterior Build Quality – Was your shed crafted with strength in mind?
   

At Stor-Mor, quality is never optional. One of our dealers recently experienced an intense spring storm that flipped a shed entirely over. Sounds like disaster, right?

Not quite.

Despite being flipped, the structure remained 100% intact. Nothing shifted. No panels bent. No parts missing.
That’s the kind of storm resilience we aim for.

🏗️ Engineered for the Extreme

Every Stor-Mor Portable Building is built to handle wind speeds up to 160 mph—well above the force of many spring and summer storms, and even some hurricanes.

And for customers in especially storm-prone areas, we offer:

• Tie-downs
• Ground anchors

For an additional price, or you can purchase them else where and we will install them at set up!

When you order your shed—whether off the lot or custom-built with our 3D Builder—just let your delivery driver know, and we’ll help reinforce it for your region’s needs.

💪 Don’t Settle. Get More with Stor-Mor.

Your shed isn’t just an afterthought—it’s where you store your mower, tools, decorations, and backyard essentials. It needs to be ready for spring storms, summer heat, and whatever else the seasons throw its way.

Stor-Mor delivers peace of mind, with structures built to withstand high winds, harsh weather, and the unexpected.
