Why TUFF SHED Buildings Are Built TUFF

October 24, 2014 | get to know tuff shed

A small green shed with double doors is surrounded by birch trees in a forest. The ground is covered with fallen leaves.

Just look at this custom TR-700 we built for a customer at 8,500 feet in Fairview Canyon, Utah.


From heavy-duty wall framing to custom builds at 8,500 feet, TUFF SHED buildings are engineered to stand strong—no matter the conditions.

DID YOU KNOW…

Part of what makes a TUFF SHED® building so TUFF is our wall framing—and it's more like what you'd find in a house than a typical shed.

We use 2×4 stud wall framing placed 16" on center, the same spacing used in residential construction. This creates a structure with superior strength and rigidity, able to handle heavy loads. In fact, we’ve even parked trucks on top of our sheds to demonstrate just how TUFF they are!

But we don’t stop there.

  • Bottom plates on all walls

  • Double top plates on sidewalls

  • Structural headers over every door and window

These reinforcements help better distribute the weight of the roof and increase overall durability—especially in challenging environments.


Storage Built for the Elements

Need your shed in a more extreme setting? No problem. Just look at this custom TR-700 we built for a customer at 8,500 feet in Fairview Canyon, Utah. With heavy snow loads a real concern, our Salt Lake City team went above and beyond to:

  • Upgrade the floor

  • Reinforce the structure

  • Install a custom metal roof

This shed is proof that TUFF SHED buildings can go just about anywhere—and handle just about anything.


Built TUFF, From the Ground Up

Whether you’re building in your backyard or on a mountainside, our expert construction techniques ensure your TUFF SHED building will go the distance.
