How Long Do Wood Storage Sheds Last?

Not all wooden storage sheds are built with the same degree of quality. At Classic Buildings, we build our sheds to last a lifetime; that’s why we include many standard features on our buildings that are usually additional options you would need to pay extra for with other companies. Our buildings come with

  • 3/4″ tongue and groove Advantech Flooring: This quality flooring is engineered to provide you with water resistance as well as superior strength and stiffness.
  • Diamond Treadplate: This type of treadplate will give you extra durability.
  • 2×4 framed double doors with turnbuckle bracing: The turnbuckles will keep your doors from sagging and becoming misaligned with the doorframe over time.

Why Are Wood Storage Sheds Good?

Wooden sheds have many advantages over other storage sheds made from resin, vinyl, or metal. They include the following:

1. Wooden Sheds are the Most Visually Attractive:

Nothing beats the rich look and natural beauty of a wooden shed. Wooden sheds come in an almost unlimited number of different and very attractive shapes, styles, and layouts. They also give you the options of various window and door styles including transom windows and double barn doors. They can be a beautiful addition to your backyard and add stunning curb appeal when they are incorporated into the existing landscape.

2. Wooden Sheds Are Easily Customizable

A wooden shed can be designed and painted to perfectly match or complement your home. You can even choose to use the same shingles! Wood is an easy material to work with so it is no problem to add extra shelves or hooks for extra storage. It is also relatively simple to install extra windows or build on an extension.

3. Wooden Sheds are Extremely Strong and Durable

If you purchase a high quality shed such as those made by Classic Buildings, you will find that is is extremely strong and durable. Classic Buildings sheds are crafted with Amish know-how so they are so sturdy that they are able to withstand even the strongest winds and weather conditions.

Plastic vs Wood vs. Metal Sheds

Storage sheds come in three basic types of material: plastic, wood, and metal. The following chart will give you a quick comparison of the pros and cons of plastic, metal and wood sheds.

 

plastic vs wood vs metal sheds

The type of shed you choose will depend on your particular situation, budget, and requirements. In general, a plastic shed is a good choice if you are planning on having to move it often, as it is the lightest option. Metal sheds are a great option if you are on a tight budget and aren’t too concerned about its appearance. However, if you are looking for a strong, durable shed that looks attractive or if you have a unique or specific purpose for the shed that requires special customization, then wood would be your best choice.
