Storage Shed Lumber Quality

This can be a topic that as a consumer may never cross your mind.  A shed is a shed, all sheds are the same, all wood is the same - Wrong.

Many shed retailers or manufactures try to utilize lesser quality lumber in an attempt to cut their costs and add profitability to their bottom line.  They will never tell the customer this, or will talk around this topic and redirect your question to another aspect of their buildings.

Lumber quality has a huge impact on how a product is made.  Lumber is broken down into different grades, the lower number of the grade of lumber is a higher quality.  The better grade means less knots, less warping, and a stronger product.

This is the reason that at Pine Creek Structures we only utilize #2 or better premium grade lumber.  We need to ensure that the storage sheds will withstand the harsh New England Winters, and strong summer storms.  Other companies tend to use a lesser quality lumber, and staple shingles and collar ties.  We choose not to skimp on less expensive lumber, and nail these components to ensure longevity.

Stop by one of our many locations today and discover the value in person.
