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.

Choosing the Correct Shed Size



There are quite a few very effective methods to determine how much room is enough room.  Let me start out by saying, there is no such thing as enough room!!  When storing items you have to be organized and efficient, as well as diligent to place things back where they belong.  Being in the storage industry for over 10 years, customers time and time again will often share the same sentiment..."I wish I went with a bigger shed".

 The first thing to determine is exactly what you are putting in your shed.  Once you narrow down what is staying and what is getting thrown out, you now need to anticipate future purchases.  This is the one area that many people fail to explore.  If you have a push mower and know that in 5-10 years you will want a riding mower, take that into account.

 For customers with garages that are full it is a little easier.  First off empty your garage and grab some masking tape.  Tape out the area of the desired shed size.  Next start filling that box.  Keep in mind that you will need room to navigate around larger items to gain access to the smaller items.  You will quickly realize that the empty 10X12 shed that you viewed on our lot may now not be quite large enough.

 A great way to fit your possessions is to off set your double door.  By doing so you increase wall space and also ensure your mower will not be directly in the center,  By strategically using peg board, shelves, and storage lofts, you can easily organize the smaller items that you amy not use every day.

 By using Pine Creek Structures interactive tool it will help you to determine how much can fit into your shed.  It's easy to use - just click on the link: Interactive Shed Sizer and then start dragging your items into the box.

 As always we are here to help.  Stop by one of our many locations and our trained managers can show you the  size that will fit your needs.

Why write about hinges, why not? Lets face it, the doors on your shed are going to be used more than any other feature on your building. They will be left open on windy days, the kids will swing on them, and they are on the front line against those who wish to obtain access to your possessions.

That is why we use piano hinges on all of our heavy duty Duratemp sided buildings. The hinge spans the entire length of the door, which allows for the weight of the door to be dispersed evenly, rather than have three points that will absorb the abuse.

The piano hinge makes it much harder to gain access to your storage shed. Traditional hinges can be removed with nine screws.  Once the hinges are removed, the door can be taken off, and your assets just turned into an insurance claim, and became someone else's assets.

Behind the trim are 15-20 screws on each hinge. This means you can go to your local outdoor store, fill out the form, wait three days, pick up your firearm, and still be home before all of the screws are removed!! Piano hinges on our sheds are also aluminum which means they will never rust. You will never have to worry about rust stains over time which are nearly impossible to remove.

So stop by a Pine Creek Structures location today, and ask one of our Business Managers to show you how strong the piano hinges are.

There's tough, then there's Amish tough,
