Construction Details for Our Sheds and Garages
Keys of Distinction
Construction Details
A storage shed from Beachy Barns is not just any storage shed; it is built with the finest materials and crafted with careful attention to detail. Our company was founded on a passion for producing quality sheds, and we are still pursuing that same passion today. Here are our keys of distinction.
Construction Details
Framing
Barn Top Plates
Barn-style sheds use a 2×8 double top plate for stronger sidewalls, added shelf space, and a helpful roof overhang.
Gable Top Plates
Gable buildings use a double 2×4 top plate with interlocking corners for a strong, connected wall frame.
Wall & Roof Framing
All buildings use 2×4 studs spaced 16” on center, with 2×4 trusses or rafters spaced 24” on center.
Truss Support
Trusses include collar ties every 6’ and double plywood or OSB gussets for added strength.
Framing Fasteners
Siding and framing nails are ring-shanked for holding power and galvanized for weather resistance.
Construction Details
Siding
LP SmartSide
Factory-primed siding with a cedar-style texture, SmartGuard protection, and a 50-year manufacturer’s warranty. A strong choice.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding installed over ½” OSB siding, with vented soffits, ridge venting, aluminum trim, and low-maintenance color options.
Construction Details
Roofing
Metal Roofing
Low-maintenance metal roofing with a 40-year warranty, multiple color options, R9 bubble foil insulation, and 2×4 purlins for added support.
Shingle Roofing
Dimensional shingles installed over ½” OSB sheathing with H-clips for added support, drip edge protection, and six available colors.
Construction Details
Flooring
Standard Flooring
Standard shed floors include ¾” tongue-and-groove plywood, pressure-treated skids, treated joists, and aluminum edge guards at door openings.
Garage Flooring
Garage floors use 2×8 tongue-and-groove treated floor boards for heavier equipment, added strength, and better performance in high-moisture conditions.
Construction Details
Doors
Wood Shed Doors
Heavy-duty 3-layer wood doors built with a 2×4 frame, LP SmartSide siding, and premium trim boards for durability.
Door Hardware
All doors include heavy-duty black hinges with nylon bushings, keyed latches, and slide bolts for added security.

Love my new shed. Kevin is exceptional. He walked with me thru lot and looked at different size sheds. I decided on a 10 x 12. He explained the process and each of the options that I could add. I went and added the gravel pad and he provided a contact for that part of the installation. Shed was built at Beachy Barns site and was ready before my expectation in about three weeks The only delay to delivery was my concern with the raining and wet weather we were having. But Kevin reassured me that it would be delivered when the weather was better.

I’ve been daydreaming of a shed for so long. Beachy Barns made it so easy. I picked one off the lot, paid a deposit online. They hooked me up with a guy who came over and did the site prep. Then a few days later, they drove my shed right into my backyard in my residential neighborhood with no issues. It’s so pretty. I’m really pleased with the whole experience.

Beachy Barns was AMAZING to deal with from my visit to their facility to the delivery and building of my shed. I had to change the delivery date multiple times due to weather and other projects and there was never a problem on their end. When the crew arrived with the shed to begin assembling it, a big rainstorm blew in, and they insisted on working straight through the storm to get the job completed. My shed looks amazing and I am 100% pleased with the entire process. I would recommend Beachy Barns for your project without hesitation!

My neighbor had theirs installed from Beachy Barns about 5 yrs ago and it still looks as good and solid as it did then. That was my referral.
Kevin was wonderful to work with and referred me to Matt Yutzy for the ground work who also was wonderful to work with.
Kevin was also able to order the matching siding and trim that I had put on my house a few years ago as an option. The siding company was the only delay in getting everything done.
As soon as that came in, Matt had the ground work done in a morning—gravel bed with a treated 4×4 perimeter including the same under the ramp.
Then Kevin’s crew had built my shed onsite—my gate was too narrow for prebuilt delivery—and the finished product came out solidly and beautifully built in a morning!
Super clean and no lawn damage from either Matt or Kevin’s crew! Highly recommended and well worth the slight up charge from the big box store offerings!
The rabbit pictured is the only irritated neighbor with this! Everyone else has had nothing but compliments on the quality and beauty of the work!
Thank you Kevin, Matt and crew!

Sales rep Kevin is top notch. Very knowledgeable and accommodating to your needs. BB has a large lot inventory to browse through to facilitate your decision making. They demoed our old shed, built a gravel pad and erected new shed all within a weeks span. Construction quality is outstanding and pricing was very reasonable.

Looked at 8×10 sheds at several different locations around central Ohio, Beachy Barns was head and shoulders above all the others. Cost is a little higher up front can definitely tell you are paying for quality workmanship and longevity.

First off when we went to Beachy Barns and we were extremely impressed with the quality of the sheds we looked at, the craftsmanship is excellent. After talking to Kevin we decided to have the person they use to build their pads for their buildings. I could not have been more impressed. Matt the gentlemen who built it, dug out a 16′ x 20′ area framed it with treated 4″ x 4″s made sure it was perfectly square and then proceeded to pack and level it with gravel. Let me tell you, you could build a house on that pad, that’s how solid it is. Then Dale the owner delivered our 10′ x 16′ shed, which was also quite impressive how he got it off the trailer with this short kind of forklift and with his video game controls got in my back yard and on the pad. You could hardly tell he was in my yard at all. Excellent job from start to finish. Thanks guys! One very satisfied customer.
