Moisture is possibly the biggest enemy of your shed’s floor system. Think of all those spring rain showers, the early morning dew, the summer humidity and melting winter snow. It’s clear that moisture is difficult to avoid, but prolonged exposure could be detrimental to your shed’s durability.
Some shed buyers quickly discover their shed's flooring may not be as durable as they thought when they made the purchase. They ask "Why is my shed floor rotting?!" The simple answer is that their shed wasn't built to withstand the moisture that is unavoidable in any backyard.
This is why it's essential to know how your shed floor is constructed. Your belongings are valuable and need a secure, durable floor that will protect your things.

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.

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.

Thinking of purchasing a Cook shed? Here's what you can expect from Cook's shed delivery process.
Three main questions you probably have are these:
1. What does your shed delivery cost?
2. How long does it take for the shed to be delivered?
3. Who will be in my backyard?
Let's tackle the first question. What's the cost of delivery and setup? It's FREE! We deliver our sheds free of charge.
For your second question, our typical delivery time is 7-10 business days from the shed purchase date. We strive to make sure every delivery is simple and hassle free for our customers!
Now, one question you should always ask when looking at shed options is, "who will be in my backyard during delivery?" With Cook Portable Warehouses only a Cook employee will be in your backyard. Our drivers have all gone through background checks and will be driving Cook delivery trucks. We do not hire out through a third party for our deliveries. When you buy from Cook, you deal with Cook through every part of the buying or renting process.
To ensure you’re ready for your new Cook Portable Warehouse, here are some items to remember when preparing for your portable building to be delivered as well as more information about the entire shed delivery process.
