The Classic Hip Roof Shed from Livingston Farm combines a distinctive four-sided roofline with practical storage and traditional exterior details.

A Classic Shed with a Distinctive Roofline
The roof is what immediately sets a Hip Roof Shed apart.
Instead of the two-sided roof found on a traditional gable shed, a hip roof slopes downward on all four sides. The result is a balanced, symmetrical profile that looks finished from every angle.
The Classic Hip Roof Shed keeps that architectural appeal simple. Louvered shutters, clean trim, double doors, and a modest roof overhang add character without making the building feel overly decorative. For homeowners who want an attractive shed that quietly complements the rest of their property, the Classic Hip Roof hits a particularly useful middle ground.

A Shed That Looks Good in the Backyard
For many homeowners, a shed is highly visible. You may see it from the kitchen window, patio, driveway, pool, garden, or neighboring properties every day. That makes appearance an important part of choosing the right storage building.
The Classic Hip Roof works especially well with traditional New England homes, farmhouses, Colonial-style homes, country properties, garden areas, pool areas, camps and seasonal homes, landscaped backyards, and residential rental properties. Its symmetrical roof and understated details give it more architectural character than a basic utility shed while keeping the overall design clean.
Colonial Hip Roof Shed
Classic New England Character Meets Everyday Storage.
The Colonial Hip Roof Shed from Livingston Farm pairs the distinctive shape of a four-sided hip roof with traditional architectural details that give this storage building plenty of curb appeal.
With Z-style shutters, Victorian hinges, a deeper roof overhang, windows, double doors, and Miratec trim, the Colonial Hip Roof is designed for homeowners who want their storage building to look intentionally chosen for their property.
Available in multiple sizes, it provides practical room for lawn and garden equipment, tools, bicycles, outdoor furniture, recreational gear, seasonal items, and larger property maintenance equipment.
This is outdoor storage with a little more architectural polish.

A Traditional Shed Designed to Be Seen
A shed may be practical, but that does not mean it has to disappear into the corner of the yard. The Colonial Hip Roof is designed for properties where the appearance of the building matters.
Its roof slopes downward on all four sides, creating a balanced, symmetrical profile. A 6-inch roof overhang, Z-style shutters, Victorian hinges, windows, and exterior trim give the building additional dimension and traditional New England character.
The result is a shed that provides the storage you need while becoming a more attractive part of the property itself.

Storage That Adds Character to Your Property

Its more detailed exterior makes it well suited for farmhouses, Colonial-style homes, traditional New England homes, historic-inspired properties, country homes, garden areas, pool areas, camps, landscaped backyards, and larger residential properties. Rather than treating a shed as something that needs to be hidden, the Colonial Hip Roof can become part of the visual character of your outdoor space.
Classic Hip Roof vs. Colonial Hip Roof
Livingston Farm offers both Classic and Colonial versions of the Hip Roof Shed. Both provide the same distinctive four-sided hip roof design and practical outdoor storage, but their exterior details are different.
The Classic Hip Roof has a simpler, more understated appearance with:
- 3” roof overhang
- Louvered shutters
- Clean traditional styling
The Colonial Hip Roof adds more decorative architectural detailing, including:
- 6” roof overhang
- Z-style shutters

If you prefer a clean, timeless shed, the Classic is an excellent choice. If you want additional traditional detailing and a more pronounced architectural appearance, consider the Colonial Hip Roof.
