Increase Convenience and Efficiency With an Outdoor Storage Building

All backyard buildings (except value sheds) come standard with a steel diamond plate threshold. This will help prevent excess wear and tear to the floor and door entry from loading and unloading your building.

Construction Techniques

• Skids: Our buildings are built on ground contact, forty (40) year rated, CCA-treated, 4x6 skids. These skids are notched 1/2” everywhere a floor joist crosses them.
• Floor Joists: Our buildings are built on pressure-treated 2x4 floor joists on 8' buildings; 2x6 on 10' and 12' buildings. Spaced on 16” centers that are toe-nailed into 1/2” notches in each 4x6 skid. Garage buildings are built with 2x6 floor joists spaced on 12” centers.
• Floor Decking: We use heavy-duty tongue-and-groove engineered flooring (Adventech 50-year warranty or similar product) on our floors. We feel this is the best flooring for most applications. Pressure-treated flooring is available at the client’s request at no additional charge. This provides a very robust flooring system that provides ample support for just about anything a client may wish to place in their building.
• Walls: In our treated series, construction is a 2x4 framework with studs on 2’ centers, with other studs being doubled due to our siding manufacturer’s specifications. We use premium pressure-treated, kiln-dried T-111 siding on our treated series. In our painted series, we have all 2x4 framework with studs on 16” centers due to the siding manufacturer’s specifications. We use engineered wood panels for siding our painted buildings.
• Stain: Our treated buildings are sprayed with a five-year, honey gold stain and sealant. This provides extra protection and gives your building a beautiful finish. We do not spray on-site buildings.
• Painted: We spray two coats of a high-quality paint. This provides a water-tight sealant, creating long-lasting durability for your building for years to come.
• Doors: All of our buildings come with shop-built 2x4 reinforced doors with three steel T-hinges per door. Eight-foot (8') wide buildings come with a single 4’ door (46” actual clearance); this is wide enough for most 42” cut lawn tractors. Ten and twelve-foot-wide buildings come standard with a 6-foot-wide pair of doors (70” actual clearance). The exceptions to this rule are the portable cabins and portable garages. These buildings come standard with a residential, factory-made house door. Garages also come with a roll-up garage door.
• Windows: We offer 2x3 and 3x3 aluminum windows, which come standard, or you can choose to add thermal pane windows.
• Roofing: We use at least 30-year rated asphalt/fiberglass roofing shingles. We also offer 30-year, 29-gauge metal roofing in a variety of colors. Ask your dealer for more info.
• Roof Decking: We use 7/16” O.S.B. or plywood for roof decking.
• Trusses: We make our own trusses of 2x4 construction with truss plates. (engineered stamped)
• Vents: Our buildings are all gable-vented to reduce heat and prolong the life of the roof shingles. This also lessens the chance of mold or mildew problems. We also offer ridge vents for an additional fee.
• Trim: All exterior trim is made from pressure-treated 1x4’s on treated buildings and Smart Wood trim on painted buildings.
• Fasteners: All exterior fasteners are zinc-coated ring shank nails, which resist rusting and provide exceptional holding strength.
• Drip Edge: All buildings come standard with aluminum drip edge to keep the shingles from sagging and to give the building a neat finished appearance.
