Pine Creek Structures CT: Pine Creek Structures - Standard Construction Specifications

I can not emphasize how important it is to understand how your storage shed is constructed. This can determine the longevity of your shed as well as the strength of the actual structure.

We will utilize a 10X14 size shed to talk about how it is built. The first number, 10, is the width of the storage shed, and the 14' is the length. At the base of our structure you will have 5 premium grade 4x4 pressure treated runners. These runners span the length of the storage shed. Above these runners traversing perpendicular are premium grade 2x4 pressure treated floors joists spaced 16" on center. So the joists are nailed to the runners, next the 5/8" LP Smart Flooring is installed and nailed to the floor joists.

All of our walls on our standard construction sheds are 2x4 16" on center. We then uses double top plates and double studs in the corners both interlocking for additional structural supports. Above the wall plates are 2x4 rafters with nailed gusset plates and collar ties 16" on center. These both help to ensure that our storage sheds will exceed the recommended snow load in your area.

Our most popular siding is our 50 year LP Smart Siding. This product is infused with a zinc borate so it is not prone to absorb waters and oils, resists fungal decay, and is termite proof; as LP states, "Bugs won't bug it". All shingles are lifetime Timberline GAF, and all vinyl siding also holds a lifetime warranty. In easier terms it will be the last building you purchase.

At Pine Creek Structures we stride to build our structures better as at the end of the day the quality of our product is who we are. As a result we finish each shed with a quality control stamp to ensure that it meets or exceeds our standards.

Stop by one of our locations today and have one of our managers walk you the buildings to show you the quality in person.
