Don’t underestimate the importance of construction when purchasing your next shed or portable building. The quality of craftsmanshipand the grade of materials used to build your shed or portable building are what determine its ability to stand up to the elements and the test of time. This is why mass produced products available at big box stores often end up disappointing after just a few years.
At Countryside Barns, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest-standard or craftsmanship and materials. Our buildings consistently exceed expectations and stand firm as the seasons and years inevitably pass.
Here’s how we ensure our entire line of buildings meets your expectations.
Floors
All sheds come with a floor built into the structure. Floors are constructed with 4″x6″ skids notched 1″ with 2″x4″ or 2″x6″ floor joists 16″ on center. The floors are then decked with 5/8″ LP® ProStruct®. Each seam on the floor has a wood block underneath it. The heavy duty floor (which is standard on garages) have floor joists 12″ on center with 3/4″ LP® ProStruct®. We have one of the strongest floors in the industry and our floors should never rot out!

Unlike plywood shed floors, LP ProStruct Floors with SmartFinish are treated with the SmartGuard® process for longer-lasting performance in tough climates.

Lofts
All lofted buildings have two loft areas; one on each end of the building with an open access area between the two lofts. Lofts are built with 2″x4″ or 2″x6″ loft joists and sheathed on top to make a nice loft floor.
Roofing
Each building has 24″ on center trusses made of 2×4″ material. The trusses are pressed together with truss plates and a hydraulic press. On the top of the trusses the roof is strengthened up with OSB. All buildings are topped off with a 40 year 29 gauge metal roofing or manufacturer lifetime warranty architectural shingles with a 130 mph wind rating.
Doors
Most sheds come standard with the double 3′ doors which have 70″ clearance on the width and 71″ on height. The diamond plate aluminum threshold is standard on every building – another standard feature which plays a part in our robust storage shed construction.
Expertly Crafted Both Inside and Out
Our portable buildings are made with Amish-Mennonite craftsmanship that will withstand the harsh Midwestern weather and serve your storage needs for years to come. Shop our selection of buildings.
