The Build Story
RainScreen Siding Vent
A rain screen is a system designed to provide a gap between the siding and our OX-IS sheathing. This gap promotes airflow and drainage, preventing moisture buildup, which can lead to mold, rot, and structural damage. Rain screens are particularly important in climates with significant temperature swings and precipitation, as they allow walls to “breathe” and dry effectively.

Sleek, Modern Aesthetic: Clean lines and a wide range of finishes allow for a sophisticated, contemporary design that enhances the look of any backyard.
Sheathing with OX-IS | Air TIght CONTINUOUS INSULATION
One standout product in this space that I found in my research was OX-IS structural sheathing by Ox Engineered Products, which combines multiple essential components into a single panel. Unlike traditional sheathing methods that require several layers to achieve adequate insulation, air and water resistance, and structural stability, OX-IS integrates all these features into one, making it a game change…
Raise the Roof
In this shed build, combining cold-formed steel (CFS) roof trusses, OX Engineered Products ToughSkin 20 synthetic underlayment, and a corrugated metal roof provides a perfect blend of strength, efficiency, and modern aesthetics. Let’s explore the benefits of each component.
Fast building with Preassembled CFS Frame Panels
When we set out on a mission to find innovative building materials for our project, we couldn’t just grab some 2x4’s. That's where building with CFS Pre-Fab Panels shined as a clear winner.
An INSULATED Metal Shed base
Building a shed base is a crucial step in ensuring the longevity and functionality of your shed. One effective method involves using Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) framing, which provides a durable and strong foundation. CFS framing is resistant to corrosion, pests, and fire, making it an ideal choice for outdoor structures.
A Solid Shed Foundation
Hey there, and thanks for joining us as we embark on the exciting journey of building own very own studio office shed. But before we dive into framing walls and hanging up shelves, let's talk about the foundation – the unsung hero of any sturdy structure.
