At Leonard, we use LP Smartside, an Engineered Wood siding that offers beauty and also resists moisture because it is made of real wood strand and fibers that are treated with resins. LP SmartSide is also treated with zinc borate to help resist fungal decay and termite damage.

Our wood siding is durable, can be painted or stained, and is well suited to help avoid damage from a lawnmower or an errant ball!

Metal Siding

Metal Sided Sheds have the advantage of lower maintenance: no painting, resists moisture, less bug, and insect issues. They are lighter weight but stronger than most making them the most portable storage sheds in the business.

The Pilot and Pilot SF buildings use this metal color system. While these Leonard storage sheds use similar metal to the carport type structures, the color options differ a bit. Gray & White are the most common colors stocked. This is heavy-duty 29 gauge metal with low ribs.
