Why New England Shed and Barn?

New England Shed and Barn was founded on a simple principle that a wood shed should be built to last. That’s why we "hand build" each shed with the highest quality building standards, and using the highest grade lumber (we even mill the lumber ourselves)! And there are plenty of options to choose from.

The reason we build on site is because our sheds are easily twice as heavy as the other sheds. It also allows us to “stick build” which means we can build in less than perfect sites. We build our sheds using the same rigorous construction as a house (not a cheap box with flimsy construction like some competitors).

Service
The first difference between buying from us and the "big box" stores is our high-end service. You buy from the manufacturer direct. In the event there is a problem or questions there are no departments or different companies to pass the buck. We custom design, which the "boxes" can't do.

Flooring
We have the highest floor rating in the industry. Our floor is constructed using 40 year Pressure treated 4x4 beams and full cut 2x6 or larger floor frames. Our flooring is full cut 1" planks graded for flooring use. Our competitors use undersized floor members and plywood on the floor. The floor members will sag in time and the plywood will delamenate. Nothing can be done to repair these sheds as the basic construction is so poor. Our floor rating is the highest in the industry. This is most important because once the floor sags the walls twist, the windows break or pinch, the doors do not close and the roof drops.

Framing & Roofing
We use full cut 2x4 wall studs 16" on center. No one else does this. Our clapboards are 100% native white pine. Our clapboard sheds are actually constructed like a wooden boat (lapstreak). Clapboard is the #1 siding used in New England because of clapboards ability to repel the elements. Most competitors use clapboard only on the front and then cheaper materials on the sides. We use 100% clapboard siding on all four sides. We also offer storage sheds in a premium red cedar shingle siding.

Our roof is constructed using full cut 2x4 or 2x6 pre engineered roof trusses. Then we use the same 1" planks on the roof as we use on the floor. The shingles are either 25 or 30 year asphalt.

Windows & Doors
Our windows are custom made awning style with screens. We designed awning style because if the window is left open no rain will get in the shed. Our standard 48" door is the largest in the industry.
