What Engineered Wood Isn't

Take a look at our shed's side walls. Do you know what our siding is made of?
We’ve had some customers, by just a picture, doubt that our warranties can be trusted. All they see is OSB (oriented strand board), which in the history of construction has proven susceptible to rotting and retaining moisture. NOT a good idea for a shed that’s holding your belongings, equipment or hobby materials. As a side note, even plywood can eventually rot, so it’s not a plausible alternative either.

What to Avoid When Buying Pre-Owned Sheds

If you’re looking for a discounted storage shed then a pre-owned shed is a great option. But, before you buy, you need to make sure you can trust your pre-owned purchase to last.
The great part about portable buildings is that there aren’t any moving or mechanical parts that can wear out like there is on a car or a boat. But, that doesn’t mean you can trust every pre-owned shed to be a long lasting purchase.
Cook Portable Warehouses does offer some pre-owned sheds from their local dealers found across 14 states. But, these tend to go quickly on any lot. If you’re looking for a pre-owned option, give your local dealer a call to see what is available.

The passion to craft is usually born out of a creative mind looking for ways to show those around them they care. Part of the gift is the time dedicated to create something special!
But, every crafter knows they can never have enough space! Most don’t have time to work on a project every day, and sometimes the hassle of cleaning up and putting it away prolongs the process. A portable building though can fix this problem! You can create a craft room in a shed!
