Frequently asked questions
All our sheds are constructed of solid wood. We don't use OSB, plywood or any glue
products in the construction of our sheds. We use 2x4, 4x4, 2x6 and 2x8 lumber in the framing
along with rough sawn 1x8 White Pine for the floor, siding and roof. Come take a look at our
demo sheds to see (and smell) for yourself!
Our floors are framed with 4x4's on 24" centers. We support the floor framing with
concrete blocks on the ends and middle of each joist. As an example - a standard 8x12 garden
shed would have 21 points of contact under the floor. Wow, what great weight distribution! We
clad the floor with a solid 1x8 pine planks for a rustic and durable foundation strong enough for
any lawn mower or ATV you want to store.
Depending on your storage needs, we have two standard sizes to choose from. Our Low
Gable sheds are typically smaller and ideal for backyards with less space and simple storage
needs. The side walls are 64" tall (just over 5 feet) and because of this, the door and windows
are limited to the front wall (or Gable wall). With a steeper roof pitch than the High Gable
design, there is still adequate head room for moving around and hanging various items like bikes
and yard tools.
In contrast, our High Gable sheds have a taller side wall. This is our most popular style
of sheds because they are so versatile! from bunk houses to garden sheds to small workshops,
the High Gable has endless possibilities! With the taller walls, we are able to position the door
anywhere on the shed. If you desire an insulated door or roll-up door, we can raise the walls
even higher to expand your shed possibilities!
Our standard shed pricing includes more than just the shed! Our basic price list
(excluding the extras and added options) comes with a single door (30" wide), two (2) windows
with window boxes, your choice of stain (100% acrylic) from our pallet and choice of shingle
colour to complete the perfect look. On top of this, we also include installation and delivery*!
(*delivery is a little extra if beyond 30km from our shop)
Yes we sure can! But first we need to make sure it can handle one of our own strucures
and confirm the correct size. If this is the case for you please reach out to coordinate a site visit
with us so we can determine if this is a good option. If the shed is less than 100 square feet,
then we can even provide a discount on the shed for providing a floor.
We are always happy to install our sheds onto a properly formed concrete base. We
have certain requirements for a concrete pad, mainly that is is the correct size, flat and level. We
keep fairly busy with sheds, so we don't have the time to pour customer pads ourselves,
however, we will do our best to help facilitate the process through a 3rd party.
Once we have confirmed an installation date, all we require from the customer is a flat and level
area for the shed to be installed. This can be on grass, gravel, asphalt or concrete. If you have
grass where the shed is going, please give is a short mow if you are able and whenever
necessary - please remove any doggy "landmines" in your yard.
Absolutely. All our sheds are pre-fabricated in our shop to each customers
specifications. We deliver and assemble the shed components onsite (Picture a ginger bread
house kit - but much heavier and less edible). Because of this process, we are able to get into
backyards, around corners, etc. All we need is access to the area 30" wide without overhead
obstructions. If there is an arbour over a gate we ask that is is removed prior to our arrival.
