Affordable Storage Shed overview

At Affordable Storage Sheds, our sheds are built to last, and to look good doing it! Our quality starts with the framework and goes all the way through the roof!

We use ground treated 4" x 4" beams to level out the area for your shed to sit. On top of the beams,  sits Fir 2" x 6" floor joist spaced just 12" oc (on center). We cover that with 3/4"  CDX plywood as opposed to OSB particle board. CDX costs more to use, but it is a more solid plywood that will hold up to the weight of the heaviest equipment. CDX  is very easy to sweep up and maintain.  I always recommend a coat of porch and floor paint on the floor, it will brighten up the inside of your shed makes cleanup even easier.

At Affordable Storage Sheds, we build our walls to stand the test of time. We use Fir 2" x 4"s  spaced at 16" oc. All of our windows and doors are framed in using cripple studs and built headers. The walls are capped off using an overlapping top plate. We wrap our walls in pre-primed    T1-11 smart siding.  We can paint your shed to color match the scheme of your house and trim.

A long lasting structure isn't complete without a water tight roof! Our roofs start with quality built trusses. The Gable style shed uses 2" x 6" trusses and our Barn style uses 2" x 4" trusses. All of our trusses are built in house using our custom jig. We miter cut every joint and fasten them together with double gussets and ring shank nails. Our trusses get tied together using 5/8" OSB roof sheathing. We wrap our roofs with heavy tar paper and 25 year com-posit shingles. We will color match and style match to your existing structure.
