Sheds can be
constructed from a variety of materials—metal, plastic, or even OSB (wafer
board). So why do we only use wood? Durability. Strength.
Longevity. All buildings are
built with construction-grade lumber, 5/8" CDX plywood flooring, 1/2" CDX
plywood roof decks, and 5/8" T-1-11 siding, vinyl siding, or cedar siding.
Vents are available on all sheds at no charge.
Why is siding
important? It protects your shed from the weather, impact damage, and
moisture, while providing an attractive finish. View your options
below:

T1-11 Plywood
Siding—Economical |
|
-
T1-11 is composed
of layers of wood, plied together with high-strength epoxy. The
result is a wood product that is far stronger than an
equivalent-thickness piece of wood.
-
T1-11 is a highly
sturdy panel. It's highly resistant to moisture and high
humidity, and is up to seven times more resistant to thickness swell
than substitute wood-based panels.
-
T1-11 is highly
impact-resistant, even when wet.
-
T1-11 is designed
with vertical grooves, which provide an attractive appearance
resembling lumber.

Vinyl Siding—Economical and
easy to maintain |
|
-
Vinyl siding is a
widely-used material used in construction.
-
Vinyl siding is
available in a wide array of pre-manufactured colors and can be
virtually maintenance-free.
-
Scratches are not
easily noticed, as the color of the vinyl siding permeates the whole
panel.
-
Vinyl siding is
versatile through a wide outdoor temperature range, without warping,
bending, or other problems.
-
In case of fire,
vinyl is more fire resistant than most woods, providing more time to
fight the fire.

|
Cedar Siding—Premium |
|
-
Cedar siding
offers an intricate, durable grain. Cedar produces a natural tannin
that is thought to be a natural insect repellent.
-
Cedar siding,
properly maintained, is highly resistant to decay.
-
Cedar siding
provides great strength and impact resistance.
-
Cedar siding
provides warmth and aesthetic appeal.

|
Fiber Cement Siding—Premium |
|
-
Captures the look and feel of wood in a
natural but more durable material.
-
Offers a number of profiles and textures
to choose from.
-
Provides a less porous surface that holds
paint well.

 Our sheds are designed to sit on any level surface.
Most sheds are set on 4x4 wooden skids. The skids run the long dimension
of the shed. We then nail 2x4 floor joists every 12" on-center
(o.c.). Finally, we
attach 5/8" plywood for the floor surface. For additional fees, we offer
concrete foundations, insuring long life. You may also select
pressure-treated wood floors, for additional fees, which offers
resistance to decay and insect damage (chemical preservatives are forced
under pressure into the wood cells, enabling treated lumber to last many
years longer than untreated wood).
 All roofs come with heavy-duty construction. We apply
2x4 rafters, placed every 24" on-center (o.c.). Next, we apply 1/2" CDX plywood
(felt paper is an available option for sheds requiring heating or
cooling). Finally,
we apply 25-year asphalt shingles in a color style that you select.
For a slight additional fee, we also offer 30- or 40-year dimensional
shingles to match your existing house.
