Avoid circular crops and avoid full shed photos here — this section works best when it behaves like a true material comparison panel.

What’s Built Into Every Appalachian Classic
This is the core Appalachian Sheds Inc. standard in its cleanest form — a practical, premium backyard structure with an entry awning, steep roof presence, durable siding choices, real window-and-door function, and the construction discipline needed for long-term use.
Builder accountability matters: Edwin and his sons build every shed. No subcontractors on structural work. Ever.
Roof System
Steep-Pitch Roof with Entry Awning.
The Appalachian Classic’s 7/12 roof pitch sheds water and snow cleanly while giving the structure stronger visual presence than a low utility roof. The entry awning frames the doorway with architectural intention, adds weather protection at the threshold, and gives the model a more finished, residential feel from the front approach.
Foundation & Floor
6×6 PT Beams. 3/4″ 7-Ply Plywood Floor.
The floor system starts with YellaWood® 6×6 pressure-treated grade beams placed over a 10-mil moisture barrier. 2×6 pressure-treated floor joists are set 16″ on center with a double center beam, and the subfloor is 3/4″ 7-ply pressure-treated plywood — built for storage, workshop loads, office use, and long-term daily function. No OSB. Ever.
Walls & Structure
Engineered Trusses. 6″ Protective Overhangs.
Steel-plated engineered roof trusses, 2×6 kiln-dried wall studs set 16″ on center, interlocking double top plates, pressure-treated wall sheathing, and 6″ overhangs help the Classic stay square, dry, and dependable through Cincinnati and Tri-State weather. The structure is built for durability, not temporary backyard placement.
Siding & Exterior
Six Siding Types. Up to 14 Colors.
LP SmartSide® Panel, Roseburg DuraTemp, Board & Batten, Pine T&G, Georgia Pacific Vinyl Lap, and LP SmartSide Lap siding options give the Appalachian Classic broad design flexibility. Exterior styles can be matched to the property, the surrounding landscape, and the intended use of the building.
Windows & Doors
Aluminum Windows. Fiberglass Door. Real Daylight.
Aluminum-framed single-hung windows with locks, removable screens, and decorative shutters bring in balanced daylight and cross-vent comfort. Aluminum screened louver vents support additional airflow, while the low-maintenance fiberglass entry door includes heavy-duty hardware and a keyed lock for dependable everyday use.
Warranty
30-Year Structural. 50-Year Siding.
Every build includes a 30-year Appalachian Sheds Inc. structural warranty, along with applicable manufacturer warranties for siding, roofing, windows, doors, and related components. Exterior wood surfaces must be sealed, painted, stained, or clear-coated within 30 days to maintain warranty protection.
Best next step: evaluate the Appalachian Classic as the foundation model for the lineup — simple, practical, durable, and upgrade-ready. The strongest result comes from choosing the right size, siding type, entry orientation, window placement, and site location together.
