Premium Floors for Superior Durability:

Our metal side lofted barns are equipped with a robust and reliable flooring system designed to meet your storage needs. We understand the importance of a strong foundation that can support heavy loads and ensure long-lasting performance. Here are the key features of our flooring:

The flooring materials consist of 4”x6” Ground Contact Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) skids and 20-gauge galvanized steel 2”x 6” floor joists. These components are securely fastened using lag screws, providing exceptional strength and stability.

The skids are notched to cradle the floor joists, enhancing the overall stability of the floor system. This design feature prevents joist collapse or buckling.

To create a sturdy and durable floor surface, we use ¾” Tongue and Groove Plywood. This high-quality plywood offers superior strength and a tight seal, ensuring the floor can withstand heavy loads without sagging or compromising its structural integrity.

Our flooring requires minimal maintenance, as it is designed to resist rotting and warping. You can enjoy a worry-free experience with your storage space.

The flooring has a high load rating of 125 pounds per square foot, allowing you to store heavy items without concerns about the floor’s ability to support them.

For additional protection, you have the option to apply a floor enamel coating. This coating seals the plywood, guarding it against spills and making it easier to clean up any unexpected messes.

Overall, our metal side lofted barns feature a flooring system that prioritizes strength, durability, and low maintenance. With high-quality materials, secure fastening, and heavy-duty decking, our flooring provides a reliable foundation for all your storage needs.

Craftsmanship and Quality:

The framing in our metal side lofted barns is built with strength and durability in mind. The walls are constructed using 2”x 4” roll-formed (20 gauge G-90 galvanized) steel wall studs on 24” centers. This robust frame, along with a belt stud running horizontally halfway up the walls, ensures a solid seal on exterior siding seams and adds stability.

For the roof, 2”x 4” roll-formed (20 gauge G-90 galvanized) steel rafters on 24” centers are used. The alignment of the roof rafters with the wall studs provides top-down support, distributing weight evenly from the roof to the foundation. The roof frame is laid out in a grid pattern with framework every 24” across the pitch, reinforcing the structure to meet or exceed local roof load and wind zone requirements.

A double 2”x 4” wall plate is utilized to strengthen the walls, preventing bulging and enhancing stability. The entire framing structure is made of galvanized steel, which offers exceptional strength and resistance to rust and corrosion.

With meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, our metal side lofted barns are designed to withstand the test of time. The framing provides a solid and reliable foundation for all your storage needs, ensuring a durable and long-lasting structure.

Exceptional Siding Options:

The siding in our metal side lofted barns offers durability and aesthetic appeal. We provide two options: lap siding and twin rib pattern aluminum siding.

The lap siding pattern resembles dutch lap vinyl siding, making it a versatile choice that can match various types of siding on your home. It provides an aesthetic appeal similar to traditional construction without the additional expenses. The lap siding is available in seven standard colors and eleven upgrade colors, allowing you to choose the one that suits your preferences and complements your home’s exterior. Aluminum lap siding is low-maintenance and has excellent heat dissipation properties, helping to shield your stored items from the sun’s rays. It requires minimal upkeep, usually just an occasional wash with normal dish soap to remove any accumulated mildew.

On the other hand, the twin rib pattern siding offers increased durability and resistance to dents compared to other aluminum patterns. This makes it an ideal choice if your shed is prone to potential impacts from lawn mowers, bikes, or other objects. The twin rib pattern siding provides added protection and ensures that your shed maintains its attractive appearance over time.

Both siding options are made from high-quality aluminum and are designed to be low-maintenance. They come in a range of colors, allowing you to customize the look of your metal side lofted barn to match your personal style and coordinate with your home’s exterior. The siding not only enhances the visual appeal of your shed but also provides protection against the elements, ensuring long-lasting durability.

Overall, the siding in our metal side lofted barns offers a combination of durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic options to create a shed that not only meets your storage needs but also adds visual appeal to your outdoor space.

Durable Roofing Options:

The metal side lofted barns offered by Outdoor Options feature durable and reliable roofing systems. The roofs are constructed with high-quality materials and designed to provide excellent protection against the elements. Here is a brief overview of the roofing in these metal side lofted barns:

The roofing in the metal side lofted barns is made of 29-gauge galvalume steel. This type of steel roofing is thicker and more durable than traditional tin roofs, offering enhanced strength and longevity. It is designed to withstand various weather conditions and has a 40-year rating, ensuring long-lasting performance.

The roof panels are installed vertically down the pitch of the roof, allowing for efficient drainage of water and debris. This installation method follows the recommended design for metal roofs and prevents standing water on the roof, reducing the risk of leaks and potential damage.

One notable feature of the roofing system is the continuous metal roof system. This system ensures a leak-proof guarantee by utilizing a continuous piece of steel roof metal from one side of the building to the other, with a crimped ridge. It eliminates the need for a traditional metal ridge cap, providing better protection against water, debris, and pests entering underneath.

Additionally, the metal side lofted barns come with closer seals at all corners and eaves. This feature ensures a better seal, creating a controlled environment inside the building. It helps prevent pests from entering and safeguards your stored items.

The roofing options in the metal side lofted barns offer low maintenance and long-lasting performance. With their durable construction and proper installation, these roofs provide reliable protection for your belongings and contribute to the overall strength and durability of the barns.

In summary, the roofing in the metal side lofted barns is made of 29-gauge galvalume steel, installed vertically for efficient drainage, and features a continuous metal roof system for a leak-proof guarantee. These roofs are designed to withstand various weather conditions and provide long-lasting protection for your valuable items.
