A folding shed including a roof with a first roof section pivotally connected to a first sidewall and a second roof section pivotally connected to a second sidewall. The folding shed may further include foldable first and second end walls, each pivotally connected to the first and second sidewalls.
A folding shed including a roof with a first roof section pivotally connected to a first sidewall and a second roof section pivotally connected to a second sidewall. The folding shed may further include foldable first and second end walls, each pivotally connected to the first and second sidewalls. The folding shed may be transformed from an operation to a storage configuration by outwardly pivoting the first and second roof sections until the exterior surface of each roof section approximately abuts the exterior surface of the sidewall to which it is connected and inwardly moving foldable end walls until the interior surfaces of the sidewalls approximately abut the interior surfaces of the end walls.

The folding shed of claim 1, wherein the second roof section pivots outwardly from the interior of the shed when the first and second sidewalls, the first and second roof sections, and the first and second foldable end walls are configured in the first configuration. 3. The folding shed of claim 1, wherein the foldable first end wall includes a first section pivotably connected to the first sidewall, and a second section pivotably connected to the first section and to the second sidewall. 4. The folding shed of claim 1, wherein the first and second plates are maintained in a spaced apart relationship by a filler material therebetween. 5. The folding shed of claim 1, wherein the first hinge portion of the roof hinge is connected to the first sidewall and the second hinge portion is connected to the first roof section. 6. The folding shed of claim 1, wherein the second sidewall member further comprises a third channel configured to receive an edge portion of the second sidewall panel. 7. The folding shed of claim 1, wherein the first end wall is pivotally coupled to the first sidewall by at least one first hinge, and the first end wall is pivotally coupled to the second sidewall by at least one second hinge. 8. The folding shed of claim 1, wherein a maximum height of the folding shed is less than or equal to approximately eight feet. 9. The folding shed of claim 1, further comprising a roof plate operatively connected with at least one of the first and second roof sections. 10. The folding shed of claim 1, wherein the first roof section includes at least two first roof segments. 11. The folding shed of claim 10, wherein at least one of the at least two first roof segments is pivotable relative to the first sidewall independenty of the other first roof segments. 12. The folding shed of claim 10, wherein at least one of the at least two first roof segments is pivotally coupled to an adjacent first roof segment. 13. The folding shed of claim 10, wherein the second roof section includes at least two second roof segments. 14. The folding shed of claim 13, wherein at least one of the at least two second roof segments is pivotable relative to the second sidewall independently of the other second roof segments. 15. The folding shed of claim 13, wherein at least one of the at least two second roof segments is pivotally coupled to an adjacent second roof segment. 16. The folding shed of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall includes at least two sidewall segments. 17. The folding shed of claim 1, wherein the first sidewall panel includes one or more stiffener plates located between the first and second plates. 18. The folding shed of claim 1, wherein the first sidewall member is substantially parallel to the second sidewall member. 19. A method for configuring a folding building from an operation to a folded storage configuration comprising: pivoting a first roof section of a roof of a building outwardly until a surface of the first roof section approximately abuts a first sidewall comprising first and second sidewall panels, the first sidewall panel extending between a generally continuous first sidewall member and a second sidewall member and having a horizontal length less than the horizontal length of the first sidewall, the second sidewall member positioned between the first and second sidewall panels, the first and second sidewall panels terminating at a third sidewall member, the first sidewall member comprising a generally rectangular hollow body that extends along substantially the full horizontal length of the first sidewall in such a manner that the first sidewall member prevents the first sidewall from folding along a vertical length of the first sidewall when the folding shed is reconfigured from the operation configuration to the folded storage configuration and that is joined to a first channel, the first channel configured to receive a first edge portion of the first sidewall panel, the second sidewall member comprising a second channel configured to receive a second edge portion of the first sidewall panel, the third sidewall member comprising a third channel configured to receive a third edge portion of the first and second sidewall panels, the third sidewall member extending along substantially the full vertical length of the first and second sidewall panels in such a manner that the third sidewall member prevents the first sidewall from folding along a horizontal length of the first sidewall between the first and second sidewall panels when the folding shed is reconfigured from the first configuration to the folded configuration, and the first sidewall panel including a first plate and a second plate spaced apart from the first plate so as to define a space between the first and second plates;pivoting a second roof section of the roof outwardly until a surface of the second roof section approximately abuts a second sidewall, the second roof section independently pivotable relative to the first roof section; andfolding a first end wall of the building inwardly; andfolding a second end wall of the building inwardly;wherein the folding building further comprises a roof hinge configured to allow the first roof section to pivot relative to the first sidewall, the roof hinge comprising a first hinge portion having a T-shaped cross section and a second hinge portion engaging the first hinge portion;wherein when the folding shed is in the folded configuration, the first sidewall, the second sidewall, the first end wall, and the second end wall are positioned between the first and second roof sections. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising folding the first end wall of the building until a surface of a first section of the first end wall approximately abuts a surface of a second section of the first end wall. 21. The method of claim 20, further comprising folding the second end wall of the building until a surface of a first section of the second end wall approximately abuts a surface of a second section of the second end wall. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein the surface of the first section of the first end wall is an exterior surface and the surface of the second section of the first end wall is an exterior surface.
