Premium Wood Shed Construction Details
Superior Flooring System
Our wood sheds feature LP ProStruct Flooring with ¾" thickness and tongue-and-groove overlay. The SmartGuard finish resists fungal decay and termite damage, backed by a 10-year limited warranty. While competitors use 5/8" thickness, we use the thicker and stronger ¾" for superior durability.
All floor joists are pressure-treated lumber suitable for ground contact, spaced 16" on center (12" for garages). Joists are notched into 4x6 skids and secured with hurricane clips for maximum strength.
Advanced Siding & Wall Construction
LP SmartSide 19/32" tongue and groove siding with SmartGuard treatment provides excellent protection against decay and termites, backed by a 5/50 year limited warranty. Wall studs are No. 2 quality pine, spaced 16" on center with double studs every 4 feet.
Our unique design ensures every floor joist lines up with a wall stud, and every roof truss aligns with wall studs, creating an exceptionally strong structure that outperforms competitors.
Premium Roofing Technology
LP TechShield 19/32" radiant barrier sheathing blocks up to 97% of radiant heat, potentially lowering interior temperatures by up to 30 degrees. This premium roofing system comes with a 20-year limited warranty.
Metal roofing is available in multiple colors with a 20-year manufacturer's warranty. All trusses are gusseted for added strength and sag prevention.
Heavy-Duty Door Systems
Double doors measure 6'5" tall and 66" wide, built with ultra-strong headers to prevent sagging. Each door features two adjustable tension rods to prevent warping and includes locking handles for enhanced security.
Storm chains prevent over-swinging and wind damage, while 6" heavy-duty T-hinges provide reliable operation. Every entrance includes an aluminum diamond tread threshold for floor protection.
