Construction Details
Below are the details of our portable Studio Shed Package, featuring only the finest quality materials sourced from Old Hickory Buildings of Canada.
Studio Shed Framing: Engineered 2×4 studs are spaced every 16″ on centre. We double the wall studs wherever our siding has a seam so that both sections of siding will have a full stud width to be fastened to. Exterior walls are sheeted with Premium LP Smart Panel Siding, then painted with high quality paint designed especially for the outdoor shed industry.
Studio Shed Roofing: Trusses are spaced ever 24″. The roof is then sheeted with OSB roof sheeting and then sheeted with 30-year 29 gauge high quality metal roofing or residential grade architectural shingles.
Studio Shed Flooring: 4×6 pressure through treated skids that are notched at 16″ on centre to ensure consistent floor joist spacing. Recessing and toenailing the joists in the notches lock them in place ensuring the shed can be loaded, unloaded, and moved repeatedly without any warping of the floor system.
We use 2×4 pressure treated floor joists {2×6 on 14′ wide and over}. The floor is then sheeted with 5/8″ {may upgrade to 3/4″} tongue and groove, engineered panels, which provide exceptional strength and stiffness for a flatter, more stable floor. Advanced resins are moisture resistant.

Roof Options
When it comes to selecting the ideal roofing material for your portable building studio shed, the choice between metal and shingle roofs is a pivotal one, influencing both aesthetics and functionality. Metal roofing offers durability and longevity, ensuring that your studio shed remains weather-resistant and low-maintenance for years to come. Its sleek, modern appearance can complement a contemporary design. On the other hand, shingle roofs provide a classic and timeless look, often blending seamlessly with traditional or rustic styles. They offer good insulation and noise reduction properties, making your studio shed a comfortable and quiet space to work in.
Ultimately, your decision hinges on your personal preferences, budget, and the desired aesthetic for your creative haven. Whether you opt for the sleek modernity of metal or the timeless charm of shingles, both choices can enhance the functionality and appeal of your portable studio shed, in the end, both are a great option.
