It’s going to be a really cool opportunity.” We want to bring them out to our company and we’re going to teach them how to use tools and how to work with their hands. So, we want to offer really well-paid internships to high school kids around the area. “Kids are just told to go to school, and that’s all good, but that’s not for everybody. “There’s a movement going on right now, it’s called ‘Keeping craft alive.’ People from my generation, there’s such a gap, they’re not familiar with working with their hands,” Park said. The company is planning on creating paid internships for local high school students, giving youngsters an opportunity to create with their hands and learn valuable skills. Park is also looking to give back as he grows the business. “They’re going to be damn good products that are going to last a long time and hold snow loads and look well.” “(People) want something that’s going to last,” Park said. Quality is what Park said separates Tahoe Shed from others, with units designed to blend in with the surroundings and building practices meant to last Lake Tahoe’s most severe winters. At the same time we’re offering really nice storage sheds at lower price points that many families can afford.” “Those are going to cost a little bit more money, but we think there’s a market for that. “We really think Tahoe has a market for those custom sheds,” Park said. The 10 foot by 12 foot shed starts at $4,500.Īside from the standard models, Park said Tahoe Shed will work to accomplish pretty much anyone’s idea of a dream shed, whether that be a greenhouse, music studio, sauna, personal library, office, or art studio. Park said the price of the 8 foot by 8 foot shed starts at $3,800 and goes up depending on roof style, and other custom add-ons, such as a deck or upgrades to doors, windows, and siding. The two basic models of shed will allow for Tahoe Shed to prefabricate the units and have them erected in a day or two. “We’ve got some customers who want some sheds, so we’re hoping we can spend this entire summer just banging out as many sheds as possible.”Īt this point Park said he is finalizing his business plan as part of his last semester as a sustainability major at Sierra Nevada College, and said he plans to begin building more sheds sometime around March. “We’re really excited for the summer time,” Park said. So far, they’ve designed or built three sheds: a custom-built play shed in San Diego, California a sauna shed in South Lake Tahoe and most recently, the Bijou Bike Park concession stand. Together the two created Tahoe Shed, which is able to leverage the experience and knowledge of Healthy Home Consultants - a green building and sustainable design firm - to create high-end, custom sheds. Through a councilor at school, Park was put into contact with Healthy Home Consultants in South Lake Tahoe, and its owner Bret Hackett.
