How Rent-to-Own Works

Rent-to-own was created as an alternative to renting a mini-warehouse across town. You get the space you need, on your property, with a clear path to ownership.

Step 1

Pick Your Building

Choose any eligible building from our inventory — wood, metal, cabins, or upgraded storage buildings. We’ll confirm your price, term, and delivery.

Step 2

First Month’s Rent + Delivery Details

Instead of a big down payment, you simply pay the first month’s rent. We collect basic info, your driver’s license, and set up automatic payments.

Step 3

Use It Like It’s Yours

Use the building for storage, workspace, or business. At any point, you can buy out your contract early or keep renting until you’re ready to own or return.

Factory Direct Sheds Rent-to-Own Program

Our rent-to-own program is designed to be simple and flexible — no credit check, no large up-front payment, and no penalties for paying off early.

The Rental Period

How it works

Rental Period

  • You pay a low monthly rental fee for your portable building or shed.
  • Terms available: 36, 48, 60, and 72 months.
  • Most buildings only require the first month’s rent at the time of sale.

Option for Ownership

  • During the rental period, you retain the option to purchase the building.
  • A portion of your rental payments goes toward the purchase price.
  • No early payoff fees — you can pay it off at any time and save on rental fees.

Decision Point

  • At the end of your term, you can either:
  • • Keep the shed and exercise your option to purchase.
  • • Return it to us with no further obligation beyond the contract.
  • If you choose to buy, you pay only the remaining balance.

Rent-to-Own FAQ

Quick answers to some of the most common questions about our rent-to-own program.

Do I need good credit to qualify?

No. There is no traditional credit check. We just need your driver’s license, basic contact information, and the first month’s rent.

Can I pay off my building early?

Yes. There are no early payoff penalties. You can pay off your contract at any time and save money by avoiding future rental fees.

What happens if I no longer need the building?

If you decide you no longer need the building and don’t want to purchase it, you can return it according to the terms of your rental agreement. You are not locked into a traditional loan.

Can I move the building to a new property?

In many cases, buildings can be moved for an additional fee. If you expect to move during your term, let us know and we’ll walk you through your options.
