Backblaze isn’t your traditional cloud storage service provider. Instead, it’s an Infrastructure-as-a-service provider, which means they sell resources you can use for your business. As you may have guessed, this option is the most unique alternative that offers you tons of flexibility and scalability options. Drag and drop import. Remarkably easy import process that is intuitive, fast, and designed to support extremely large backups (community version is limited to 512MB, and this is achieved via extension).

Do you know what makes one shed last twice as long as another?

It’s simple, use higher quality materials and use more of them. We believe that if you compare our buildings with any other building on the market we will come away the clear winner. Shop and see for yourself.

Backblaze Unlimited Storage Space

Why do we encourage you to shop?

Because we build a better shed at a better price. Scroll down and take a look at our 3 point guide and price list. Also, make sure to watch the videos, they go a long way in making a well informed decision.

Point #1: Common Sense Construction

• Use more lumber to make it stronger – We frame 16″ and 12″ on center rather than 24″
• Use the thickest part of the board for strength – We place our wall studs and floor joists on edge rather than laying them flat
• Use screws rather than staples – We completely screw our rafters, doors and hinges together rather than gang nailing, stapling and nailing

After watching this video, you’ll understand what it takes to build an amazing shed. It will be one of the best investments you’ll ever make for your home.

Point #2: All shed siding is not created equal

Our premium wood siding has proven itself with decades of great performance in all weather types, and keeps looking great.

Composite sidings which have become the industry standard have had a 25 year pattern of failure and class action lawsuits. Google is your friend here.

To get you started here is a list of composite sidings that have failed and have had class action lawsuits brought against them: LP Inner Seal, Masonite Hardboard, Jarratt Lap, Catawba, Weyerhaeuser Hardboard, Abitibi-Price, Jefferson Smurfit, Masonite Omniwood, Forestex.

Be sure to watch the video to learn how to spot composite wood sidings.

Point #3: All doors are not created equal.

Don’t make the mistake of overlooking how important shed door construction is. The first thing to fail on a typical building is the doors. That is why we’ve designed and build the patented Super Door.

Super Doors are built using industry leading strength. With 2x6 and 2x8 framing we double and even triple the strength over the average shed door. This frame is 100% back screw with over 200 screws while the industry uses nails or even staples! The Super Doors are attached with 50 screws in each heavy gauge piano hinges.

Watch this short video and learn about all of our doors features like the patented leading edge door system.
