Steel Tube Construction
Diagram of Leonard's traditional steel frame metal sided shed construction

It starts with Leonard's famous notched skid floor system (see above).  The 1"x1" galvanized steel tubes are welded into a frame cage system with single piece floor to floor bowes.  These units are still standing from the mid 1960's in full use.  They are lightweight and portable yet they are as durable as any building in the business. We recently shifted to vertical siding and vertical metal roof which allows debris to wash off with the rain.  While the government and commercial clients rave about the durability and portability, residential customer find the near zero maintenance the most attractive feature.

Leonard's Famous Notch Skid Floor System

The world of pre-assembled and portable storage sheds, the foundation is paramount.  Leonard's famous notched skid flooring system has been refined over the years to provide the most rugged and durable floor in the business.  4'x6' pressure treated skids are notched so that the pressure treated 2'x6' floor joists squeezed in and cross fastened to avoid twisting or warping.  This added step all allows the necessary strength to move the building over its life without doing damage to the structure.  The floor is covered with 3/4 engineered flooring that is designed to last longer and not warp.

Corrugated metal siding colors from Leonard

High durability corrugated metal siding

NOTE: Sadly this classic has been discontinued and replaced by the steel frame Pilot shown above with heavier gauge metal siding. The discontinued Convincer series steel framed corrugated metal sided model has been around since Leonard's inception over 50 years ago. Look around and you will see many of these in backyards all over the 5 state region and you will see that age very well. They are the tanks of the shed business which is why the US Government has purchased so many of them. We still have a few available at our stores and from time to time one is returned from a previous rental agreement.
