The floor of the wood sided Utility Shed is the best floor available on the market and its the strong foundation that starts every great shed we sell. Solid 4’’x 6’’ 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. This spill proof, stain proof, finish is the an aggressive advantage to have in your new shed when the time comes to wipe up unexpected spills.

The wood sided Utility shed is an A-Frame shed with a side gable. This is a great option for those wishing to match the A-frame of their house with the A-frame of their shed. The Wooden Utility Shed comes standard with 6’ 8’’ walls or you can upgrade your new sheds’ wall height to 8’ tall. The walls are constructed of Spruce 2’’ x 4’’ wall studs 24’’ centers and every 4’ there is a double stud 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 Utility Shed ample overhang. The roof rafters are Spruce 2’’x 4’’s spaced on 24’’ centers and seated directly in line with the wall stud. Aligning the roof rafters with the wall studs provides the Utility Shed frame support from the top down, supporting any weight placed on the roof all the way to the foundation of the shed. The rafters are pressed together with 2’’x 4’’ galvanized steel mending plates. These features combined with Mennonite craftsmanship provide the building the strength it needs to withstand the test of time and meet or exceed the local roof load and wind zone requirements. The roof pitch comes standard at 4’’ on 12’’ but can be upgraded to 6’’ on 12’’ for an even better looking and more functional shed. Due to hauling restriction, this shed is available in a limited number of sizes however, this is still a great storage solution with many custom options available. The Wooden Utility Shed is available in the following sizes: 8’x12’, 10’x12’, 10’x16’ and 12’x16’.  Custom sizes are available in between the sizes listed above. If you are looking for this style shed in a broader selection of sizes please check out our Elite Wooden Utility Shed.

The siding on the wooden Utility Shed is available in your choice of ⅝’’ pressure treated T1-11 Rough Sawn plywood siding with V-grooves every 4’’ or 7/16” LP Smart Siding with V-grooves every 8’’.

The 7/16” LP Smart Siding is a great choice for a modern look and excellent longevity with little maintenance requirements. The Smart Siding is pre-primed and painted your choice of color.

The wooden Utility Shed roof is available with either 29 GA steel metal roofing or 3 tab shingles. The 5 Rib Steel roofing is available in 18 baked enamel colors and Galvalume.  5 Rib is the pattern of metal roofing that is standard on all residential applications. If you choose shingles for your new shed they are available in 4 stock colors or you can to upgrade to 30 year architectural shingles with many colors to choose from. The roof frame is decked in 7/16 OSB sheathing rather than just attaching strips of wood to the rafters, adding strength to the entire shed. We install a screen at the ridge to ensure your shed roof is well vented but still secure from debris and pests. All our metal roof panels are run vertically down the pitch of the roof to ensure that water and debris drain as efficiently as possible. Rather than skipping this crucial step and running the panels horizontally in an effort to save material, trim work and time, we run all panels vertically the way the roof metal is designed to be installed. This detail in workmanship is vital to the longevity of the roof and always a priority at Outdoor Options. We trim the sheds’ roofline on all sides and transitions in the roofline to finish your new shed roof with great curb appeal.

The wooden Utility Shed can be customized in many different sizes, colors ,and layouts. The barn style door in either a single 46’’ door or double 64’’ doors is standard on the wooden Utility Shed but it can be exchanged for a steel panel door or 9-lite gridded steel door.  If you need a wider door we can custom build 80’’ wide doors or install a roll-up garage door under the gable of your new wooden Utility Shed. We offer a range of window sizes to choose from and we can add PVC flower boxes or shutters around the windows to give your new Utility Shed the perfect finishing touch.  We can install many levels of electrical packages in your new Lofted Barn. The basic electrical package includes an overhead light socket with wall mounted switch and a receptacle by the door of the shed. You can add additional receptacles or lights anywhere in the shed. If you want to upgrade your light or lights you can do so with either 4’ or 8’ fluorescent lights or we can even install LED light boards in many levels of brightness to provide you the best possible lighting solution. If you have bigger plans for your shed and need a three way switch by each door, a sub-panel with breakers or a 220 volt plug we can have all that included with your new Lofted Barn. With the versatility of the wall height and roof pitch options on this model, it is even possible to add a loft shelf in the top of this shed for extra storage space.
