Construction Details
Below are the details of our portable Storage Shed Package, featuring only the finest quality materials sourced from Old Hickory Buildings of Canada.
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.
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.
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.

What is the most Durable Type of Shed Material?
What is the most Durable Type of Shed?
Metal sheds, especially those made of steel or aluminum, are the most durable, offering weather resistance against rain, snow, and strong winds. Unlike wooden sheds, they resist rot, insects, and warping.
However, durability also depends on shed material, construction, and maintenance. While metal sheds last the longest, wooden sheds provide better insulation and aesthetics, while plastic sheds offer a balance of durability, affordability, and low maintenance.
Choosing the right outdoor shed depends on your needs, budget, and preferences.
