The floor of the wooden Sided Lofted Barn is the best floor available on the market and its the strong foundation that starts every great shed we sell. Solid 4’’x6’’ Pressure Treated Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) skids are notched 1 ½ inches for each pressure treated SYP 2’’x 6’’ floor joist to sit cradled in before being toenailed into the skids with nails. This combination of cradle notches and toe-nailing the joist makes a super tough start to a great floor system that will be maintenance free and worry free for years to come. The floor frame is decked with a ¾’’ Tongue and Groove Plywood nailed to the floor joists. Using ¾’’ Tongue and Groove Plywood instead of ⅝’’ or thinner plywood, is what gives our floors the superior strength you can always expect from us. All these features of our floor system give you the peace of mind knowing you can keep using your new shed for years to come. If you are looking for an even greater level of protection for your new shed floor we can apply a floor enamel to the entire floor to make sure the plywood is sealed from any spills that may occur down the road. This coating is applied in a two step process; first, an Extreme Block primer is rolled on followed by the enamel coating, creating a great seal for the lifespan of the building. The spill proof, stain proof, finish is a great advantage to have in your new shed when the time comes to wipe up unexpected spills.
The wooden Lofted Barn is a Gambrel style shed with an end gable. The lofted Barn offers loft storage to maximize your space without increase the overall footprint like a traditional A-frame storage shed would do.

The walls are constructed of Spruce 2’’x 4’’ wall studs on 24’’ centers and there is a double stud every 4’ to ensure a rock solid seal on all exterior siding seams and a sturdy frame with undeniable strength to give you endless possibilities for options and layouts for all your storage needs.The walls are topped with a double 2’’x 8’’ top plate giving the wooden Side Lofted Barn ample overhang.
