This ensures your shed meets all relevant safety standards while delivering dependable performance year after year.
Invest in covered outdoor storage that works as hard as you do. Cogan L-Shed and T-Shed Cantilever Racking keeps your materials protected, your operations efficient, and your costs down.
The primary difference is the configuration. An L-Shed is a single-sided cantilever rack with an integrated roof, making it ideal for installation against an existing building or wall. A T-Shed is double-sided with roofing extending over both sides, providing maximum outdoor storage capacity for freestanding installations such as lumberyards and construction supply facilities.
These systems are designed for long, bulky, or weather-sensitive materials, including:
The integrated sloped roof helps shed rain, snow, and ice while reducing direct sun exposure. This helps prevent moisture damage, warping, rust, UV deterioration, and unnecessary material replacement costs.
Yes. Every Cogan L-Shed and T-Shed is engineered specifically for its installation site. Factors such as local wind loads, snow loads, geographic location, and whether the rack is installed against a building or freestanding are incorporated into the design.
Yes. Existing compatible Cogan cantilever racking can often be retrofitted with roof components, allowing facilities to add weather protection without replacing the entire storage system.
These systems are popular in:
Absolutely. L-Shed and T-Shed cantilever racks are specifically designed for permanent outdoor use. Heavy-duty structural steel components, galvanized roof decking, and treated wood supports provide long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
By organizing long materials vertically while protecting them outdoors, businesses can free valuable indoor warehouse space for production, inventory, or shipping operations while maintaining fast access to stored products.
Yes. Roof dimensions, overhangs, column heights, arm lengths, and rack configurations are customized to match your storage requirements and the products being stored.
Capacity depends on the cantilever rack design, arm length, column spacing, and foundation. Spacesaver Storage Solutions engineers every installation to safely accommodate your required loads while meeting applicable building codes.
Yes. Cogan cantilever systems feature a modular design that allows additional columns, arms, and roof sections to be added as your inventory or facility expands.
Yes. Spacesaver Storage Solutions provides complete turnkey service throughout Virginia, including:
Yes. Outdoor cantilever racking systems require properly engineered concrete foundations capable of supporting both the rack loads and environmental forces such as wind and snow. Foundation requirements vary by project and are determined during engineering.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions helps organizations throughout Virginia design outdoor storage systems that maximize available space while protecting valuable inventory. Our experienced team works with each customer to deliver a custom-engineered solution that improves organization, enhances material protection, and increases operational efficiency from initial consultation through installation and ongoing support.
The roof deck is constructed from galvanized steel panels, each fastened to the wood beams using #8 x 1 ¾” waterproof hex head Tek screws with rubber seals to ensure a watertight connection. For proper installation, each panel must overlap the preceding panel and be securely screwed in place to maintain structural integrity and weather protection.
For T-shed configurations, the roof must extend 6 inches beyond the outer edge of the cantilever arms to provide full coverage and effective protection from the elements.
The roof deck is constructed from galvanized steel panels, each securely fastened to the wood support beams using #8 x 1 ¾” waterproof hex head Tek screws with integrated rubber seals to prevent moisture intrusion. For proper installation, each panel must overlap the previous one and be fastened accordingly to ensure a watertight seal.
On L-Shed configurations, the roof can either sit flush against a wall or extend 6" beyond the rear—provided back panels are installed. These panels are supported by 2" x 4" wood beams for added structural integrity. Additionally, the roof must extend 6" beyond the front edge of the cantilever arms to provide adequate weather protection.
