Shagbark is your typical rural lumber/hardware store. Friendly, knowledgeable people who just want to help you find what you need...and they probably have it in stock! It's so much better going here than Home Depot...these guys actually want to help!

Very helpful and friendly staff. I came in to get some compost items and a gentleman with a grey beard was very helpful in looking up the right supplies. Great customer service.
