What is smart siding?
Very similar to T1-11, we use LP Smart siding. it looks like wood but it doesn’t rot like wood does.
It comes primed, and all you have to do is paint it. It must be painted every couple of years and should last 30+ years if maintained.
When do I have to paint my smart siding shed?
We recommend painting a smart siding shed within 60-90 days for the best results and longevity. The shed already comes primed so all you need is a couple coats of paint.
What are the double door sizes?
The standard door size for the economic, peak, barn storage, harbor view, and classic view is 54”.
What materials do you use for construction?
We use 2 x 6 pressure treated (16oc) for the floor with 5/8 performance max floors for the overlay and 2 x 4 pine (24oc) for the structure. If the shed is smart siding then we also use smart siding for the trim and if vinyl we use vinyl trim. Yes, the sheds come with floors.
