ABOUT OUR BUILDINGS...

At Yoder's Quality Buildings in Rural Retreat VA we want you to get value for your hard earned money. Our portable buildings are built according to VA and NC Engineer Stamped Prints(available below). Our buildings are available in two basic styles.  The Lofted Barn and the A roofed, Utility style.  In these two styles, we offer portable buildings for sale designed as: Storage Buildings, Cabins, and Garages; in sizes up to 16'x54!  We offer a variety of doors and windows and can add or remove them as well as placing them where you need them in your building. Our buildings are also available with basic electrical packages as well as closed cell spray foam insulation!  We will discuss some of our basic construction materials and techniques below.   

Floor Systems

The floor system is something that is easily overlooked because you can't see it; however, it's one of the most important parts of a well built structure. Our floor systems start with 4x6 pressure treated runners that are notched to receive our 2x6 pressure treated floor joists placed 16" on center. The standard flooring in our cabins and storage sheds is 5/8" LP ProStruct, with an available upgrade to 3/4" Advantech or LP Legacy. Our Garages feature 3/4" flooring and our 2x6 treated joists on 12" centers as standard features.

Wall Construction

The walls in our wood sided buildings are constructed of 2x4 studs placed 16" on center with a double stud every 48". An Upgrade to a double top plate is available. They are sided with LP Smartpanel which features a 50 year warranty.

Our metal sided building is studded 24" on center with a double stud every 48" and covered with 7/16" OSB under our 30 year metal siding.
