They sell sheds at the home improvement
chain-store and local lumberyard but they do not build them; they are only
the “middleman”. In order to both compensate the middleman and keep the
price competitive the actual builder is required to build their shed using
less lumber and lower quality materials. For example the studs in the
“middleman shed” are 24 inches apart rather than our 16“ on-center; they use
2x4’s for the floor joist instead of Reed’s pressure-treated 2x6
construction, and they put low-grade particle board on the floor; when
particle board meets water it turns into Fall-a-Particle Board. That’s why
we use 5-ply exterior-grade plywood.
Buying factory-direct from Reeds Ferry eliminates the middleman, It means
for the same price as the home improvement store you’ll own a shed of far
better quality. The quality difference also extends to the installation
because unlike the “middleman” we don’t use sub-contractors for the
installation; your shed is installed by Reeds experienced staff. The bottom
line. Reeds Ferry Sheds are not only good looking, they are built to last,
and we back that claim with a 25-year warranty.
