Backyard Portable Buildings Construction Techniques
When you choose our buildings, you are investing in quality, durability, and aesthetics that stand the test of time. Here's what makes our construction techniques superior:
-
Foundation: Our buildings are set on 40-year-rated, CCA-treated 4 x 6 skids that are notched for a perfect fit with the floor joists, ensuring a sturdy base that’s built to last.
-
Floor Joists: We use pressure-treated joists for lasting support. For 8' buildings, we use 2x4 floor joists; for 10' and 12' buildings, we use 2x6 joists spaced 16 inches apart. For our garage buildings, enjoy extra strength with 2x6 floor joists spaced 12 inches apart.
-
Floor Decking: Step into reliability with our heavy-duty tongue and groove engineered flooring (like Adventech with a 50-year warranty). It's our top choice for most applications, providing robust support for all your storage needs. If you prefer, pressure-treated flooring is available at no extra charge.
-
Framing & Siding: Our treated series features a 2x4 framework with double studs every 2 feet, using premium pressure-treated, kiln-dried T-111 siding. Our painted series boasts 2x4 studs on 16” centers with engineered wood panel siding for enhanced durability and style.
-
Stain & Paint: Our treated buildings are finished with a five-year honey gold stain and sealant for beauty and protection. For our painted buildings, we apply two coats of high-quality paint, creating a water-tight seal that ensures long-lasting durability.
-
Doors & Windows: All our buildings come with reinforced 2 x 4 doors with three steel T-hinges. Depending on the width, buildings feature a single 4’ door or a 6’ wide pair of doors. Our Portable Cabins and Garages come with factory-made residential doors, and garages include a roll-up door. Choose from standard 2x3 or 3x3 aluminum windows or upgrade to thermal pane windows.
-
Roofing: Protect your investment with our 30-year-rated asphalt/fiberglass shingles or 30-year 29-gauge metal roofing available in various colors. Our roof decking is made with 7/16” OSB or plywood for added strength.
-
Trusses & Ventilation: We engineer our own 2 x 4 trusses for stability and reliability. Every building is gable vented to reduce heat and prevent mold and mildew, with optional ridge vents available.
-
Trim & Fasteners: Enjoy the refined look of pressure-treated 1 x 4 trim on treated buildings and Smart Wood trim on painted ones. Our zinc-coated ring shank nails resist rust and provide exceptional holding strength.
-
Drip Edge: Each building features an aluminum drip edge to prevent shingle sagging and ensure a polished, finished appearance.
