The Difference is in The Details

Old Hickory prides itself on exceeding our customers’ expectations. From the first interaction with one of our local independent dealers through delivery and installation of your shed, we’ll work hard to earn your trust. Click on the numbered features below to see the attention to detail that we put in to every shed we build.

COLOR-MATCHED METAL ROOF FASTENERS

Our metal roofing panels are fastened with color matching screws to ensure the best possible appearance. Our fasteners are designed with an enhanced corrosion resistant coating and use a self-sealing neoprene washer to prevent leaks.

METAL OR SHINGLES – SAME PRICE

Give your shed & backyard landscape an upgraded look with our 29-gauge metal roof, available in a wide array of colors and backed by a 30-year limited warranty. OR...match your home’s roof for looks or for HOA compliance using our residential grade architectural shingles, available in commonly used colors.

DOUBLE STUDDED AT SIDING SEAMS

We double the wall studs wherever our T1 - 11 siding has a seam, so that both sections of siding will have a full stud width to be fastened to. This prevents edge tear - outs on the siding and strong adhesion that will stand up to strong winds and years of use.

RING-SHANKED & GALVANIZED NAILS

Exposed nails are ring-shanked and galvanized for rust prevention. Ring-shank nails have twice the withdrawal strength of smooth-shank nails. The rings around the nail shank lock into each groove along the shank, resulting in a nail that holds tight despite extreme wind or cyclical moisture conditions.

4x6“ TREATED & NOTCHED SKIDS

Our 4x6” pressure treaded skids resist rotting and are notched at 12” or 16” on center to ensure consistent floor joist spacing. Recessing and toenailing the joists in the notches lock them in place ensures the shed can be loaded, unloaded, and moved repeatedly without any warping or racking of the floor system.

DIAMOND-PLATE DOOR THRESHOLD

The diamond-plate door threshold cap creates a solid step that can handle constant abuse from foot traffic and equipment wheels. It prevents wear and tear on the exposed edges of the floor decking at the entrance of the shed...ensuring years of use without cracking, splintering, or delaminating.

But the differences don’t end with the quality of the construction. We back that up with material and construction warranties, a variety of purchase and rental options, FREE delivery and set-up within 30 miles of your local dealer, and Engineer Certification for ground snow load and wind load. We can even supply engineered plans for a small fee that will satisfy municipal inspectors.
