Building Materials for Your Custom Storage Shed

When it comes to building a custom storage shed, the materials you choose play a critical role in determining the longevity, durability, and aesthetic appeal of the final product. At Pine Craft, we offer a variety of high-quality roof, siding, and paint options to ensure your storage shed not only meets your needs but also stands the test of time. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the materials and options available, helping you make informed decisions for your custom shed.

 

Roofing Options: Durability and Style

LP ProStruct Roof Sheathing Underlayment 
LP ProStruct Roof Sheathing with SilverTech features a durable radiant barrier that helps keep sheds or other outdoor structures cooler in the summer heat. And with its highly reflective, professional-grade appearance, LP ProStruct Roof Sheathing with SilverTech helps brighten the inside for better visibility.

30-Year Shingles
Our 30-year shingles are a popular choice due to their durability and long lifespan. These shingles are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, providing excellent protection against wind, rain, and UV damage. Available in various colors, they also offer flexibility in matching your shed to your home or landscape.

Metal Roofing
For those seeking a more modern look or enhanced durability, our metal roofing options are ideal. Metal roofs are known for their longevity—often lasting 40-70 years—and their resistance to extreme weather conditions. They are available in a variety of colors, allowing you to customize the appearance of your shed while ensuring it remains protected for decades.


Siding Options: Strength and Aesthetic Appeal


Pre-Primed LP® SmartSide® Siding
Our pre-primed LP® SmartSide® siding offers a durable and attractive finish for your shed. This material features a resilient overlay that not only enhances the visual appeal of your storage building but also provides superior protection against rot and termites. The pre-primed surface is ready for painting, ensuring a clean and polished look that complements any outdoor space.

Vinyl Siding
Our vinyl siding options are ideal for outdoor storage buildings. We can match your home's exterior siding to the storage barn for added customization and to create a cohesive and polished look on your property.


Paint and Color Options: Customization and Protection

Paint Colors
Choosing the right paint color is an essential step in customizing your storage shed. We offer a wide range of paint colors to suit your preferences, allowing you to match your shed with your home or garden. Our paints are specifically formulated for outdoor use, ensuring they remain vibrant and durable over time.


15-Year Warranty Urethane Paint
For an extra layer of protection, consider our optional 15-year warranty urethane paint.
