What This Package Includes

Built with durable white wood, our 12″ on-center floor joists provide strong support and stability. The spacing ensures a solid foundation for heavy loads, perfect for sheds or storage buildings. Ideal for interior use, this untreated lumber delivers long-lasting performance.

We have two roofing options: shingles and steel paneling. For shingles, we use CertainTeed’s impact-resistant shingles because they’re high quality and provide all-weather protection. The SBS modified asphalt allows for greater flexibility, so the shingles resist cracking in extremely weather. SBS’s superior granule adhesion protects the shingle against the elements by keeping the granules in place, providing durability in extreme conditions such as a hail storm. This product has a variety of color options available.

We use Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint® Exterior Acrylic Latex paint for our stock wood panel and lap siding buildings, and Sherwin-Williams Resilience® Exterior Acrylic Latex Paint for our made-to-order buildings that require custom paint. We believe that the paint we use should be as dependable as the materials we use to build, that’s why we choose Sherwin-Williams — their options deliver outstanding performance and protect against the elements.

A standard option on all Dakota Storage Buildings, OSB flooring is an economical and dependable alternative. Expertly crafted, OSB flooring provides the superior strength and durability that you’d expect from Dakota Storage Buildings.

Innovative LP® SmartSide® Panels with SilverTech® feature a finish-grade radiant barrier that resists flaking and peeling. These panels also help reduce the sun’s radiant energy. The panels help keep stored items cooler, they brightens the interior, and their SmartGuard® treatment protects against rot and termites.

While this package was designed with a specific use in mind, there are ways to personalize it — making it uniquely yours. Choose from a select set of building styles, siding options, and more.

How It Works

Select Your Building

Choose a stock building, select a semi-customizable building from one of our Collections, or design a fully-customized building using our online configurator.

Prepare Your site

After securing a building permit, lay a solid foundation by framing the perimeter, filling it with a base material, leveling it, and then compacting it until its firm.

Schedule Your Delivery

When your building is ready, we’ll contact you to schedule a delivery time. On delivery day, we'll use a Mule to move your building from the trailer to your desired location.
