Ever wondered about the intricate ties between the carport and shed industries? Our guest today, Wendell Hochstetler, a veteran entrepreneur in the small metal fabrication business, is just the right person to shed light on this. We travel through his fascinating journey in the field, discussing the role of carports in the industry and exploring the innovative Versabend - Wendell's father's brainchild that's simplifying the bending and shaping of square tubing.

Fasten your seatbelts for an engaging discussion on Wendell's current project - a unique pontoon boat. The conversation takes a turn towards the fundamentals of a greenhouse, with Wendell revealing how shed dealers can use these components to create their own displays. We discuss the two primary styles of greenhouses - clear panels and metal wainscoting - and bring to surface the significance of a metal base for the longevity of the greenhouse.

As we venture into the business dynamics of the shed industry, Wendell and I analyze the pricing structures for different greenhouse models and the economics behind a one-time display model. Wendell's insights into why greenhouses are gaining popularity and the homesteading mentality driving this trend are not to be missed. As we wrap up this episode, Wendell and I reflect on the power of networking, express our gratitude for the journey, and stress the importance of keeping divine faith central in all business ventures. Don't miss out on this enlightening episode.
