Could the Crafter's Connection 12x16 Shed Kit Put Your Doorway in the Right Place?
Nominal Size: 12 ft × 16 ftDoor layout: Offset eave double doorsRoof Pitch: 6/12 gableSiding: Primed LP SmartSideFloor: Not included
A well-planned shed starts with where you walk in and what you want within reach. The Best Barns Crafter's Connection 12x16 Shed Kit with Offset Eave Doors places the doorway near one end of the long sidewall, leaving a larger uninterrupted wall section for your storage plans. Choose the left or right offset during assembly to suit your yard approach, then arrange garden equipment and project supplies around the way you work.
Benefits
Plan your approach: Choose a left or right door offset during the build to suit the direction you usually approach from. Deciding before assembly helps you coordinate the entrance with your planned equipment paths and storage arrangement.
Keep a longer wall working: The offset doorway leaves a larger uninterrupted section of the front wall for owner-supplied shelves, hooks, or a workbench. That gives you more flexibility to group tools and supplies along one stretch of wall while planning space around the entrance.
Start with prepared components: Precut structural components and prebuilt doors ready to hang reduce the preparation involved in starting entirely from raw materials. Walls and trusses are assembled on site, and some cutting is required, so you can plan the work with a clear understanding of what remains.
Give it your own finish: LP SmartSide engineered wood siding comes primed and ready to paint. Choose colors that complement your home, fencing, or garden, giving this practical storage building a considered place in your yard.
Plan the finishing details: The floor, windows, and final roofing are supplied separately, letting you select those materials around your intended use and overall project plan. Consider your storage needs, daylight preferences, and budget before building so those finishing decisions receive the same attention as the layout.

Foundation and Assembly Planning
Prepare a level, square foundation measuring 12 ft 0 in × 15 ft 9 in, following this model’s manual. The instructions include a wood-floor layout and a concrete foundation option. Check local permit, setback and anchoring requirements before preparing the site.
This is a DIY assembly kit, and installation is excluded. Some on-site cutting is required. Review the complete assembly manual, packing list and additional-material requirements before starting.
Before You Build
Manual and packing list: Read the exact configuration’s manual and check the packing list before starting. Retain all kit materials until the build is complete.
Site and foundation: Confirm local requirements and prepare a level, square foundation to the manual’s dimensions.
Tools and staging: Gather the manual’s listed tools and safety glasses. Sort components by size and type in a clear staging area.
Helpers: Arrange extra help for delivery, raising walls and handling roof components.
Assembly sequence: Follow the manual’s numbered steps and choose the left or right door offset during assembly, using the matching door-wall instructions. Some cuts are required, and walls and trusses are assembled on site.
Roofing and finishing: Have your owner-supplied roofing and finishing materials ready for the appropriate assembly stages. Installation is not included.
Tools listed in the manual: a hammer, Phillips screwdriver, framing square, level, power drill, tape measure, hand or circular saw, two 8 ft stepladders and safety glasses.
Exterior Finishing and Care
Finish the siding within 30 days of assembly with at least two coats of 100% acrylic latex exterior paint or solid-color stain. Seal exposed edges and caulk the joints specified in the instructions. Follow the applicable assembly and maintenance requirements.
Maintain at least 1/2 inch of clearance between the siding and a concrete slab, or at least 2-1/2 inches between the siding and the ground when using a treated floor. Keep vegetation and debris away from the building, and direct sprinkler water away from it.
Inspect the exterior finish and sealed joints periodically, and maintain them as needed under the applicable assembly, finishing and maintenance instructions. For separately installed windows or other accessories, follow their supplied care instructions.
Warranty
Published component warranty periods are one year for workmanship and manufacturing, two years for hardware and metals, and two years for roof sheathing. LP siding has separate published 50-year coverage. Coverage is subject to the official terms, including original-owner eligibility and proper assembly and maintenance; labor and installation are excluded. Contact Homestead Supplier for assistance.

Product Overview
This overview shows the Crafter’s Connection Standard series. Use the offset-eave assembly manual below for this configuration. Windows and flooring shown are not included.
Assembly Manual
Review the instructions for this offset-eave door kit before preparing the foundation or starting assembly.
Review the matching permit set with your local building department. Confirm any permit, foundation, setback and anchoring requirements before construction; the packet does not guarantee local approval.
The hinged double doors are offset toward one end of the long eave wall, beneath the lower roof edge. Choose the left or right offset during assembly, following this model’s door-wall instructions. This page covers the offset-eave configuration.
Is a floor included?
No. A wood floor is purchased separately, or you can prepare a suitable concrete foundation using the dimensions and instructions in the offset-eave manual.
Are windows included?
No. Windows are purchased separately. Check compatible window styles and placement against the assembly plans before making wall openings.
What foundation dimensions should I use?
The offset-eave manual specifies foundation dimensions of 12 ft 0 in × 15 ft 9 in. The base must be level and square and must not be larger than the building size. Check the manual and local requirements before building a floor or forming a slab.
What roofing materials do I need to supply?
Roof sheathing is included. You supply the final roof covering, drip edge and roof-covering fasteners. Follow the assembly manual and the instructions for your chosen roof covering.
Will I need to cut materials during assembly?
Yes. The kit includes precut components and prebuilt door panels, but some on-site cutting is required. You assemble the walls and roof trusses yourself; installation is excluded.
Does the siding need to be painted?
Yes. The LP SmartSide siding arrives primed. Finish it within 30 days of assembly with at least two coats of 100% acrylic latex exterior paint or solid-color stain. Seal exposed edges and caulk the joints specified in the instructions.
Do I need a permit or site approval?
Check with your local building department and HOA, if applicable, before work begins. Confirm permit, setback, foundation and anchoring requirements. The linked assembly manual and matching permit set do not replace local permit approval. Homestead Supplier can help confirm the correct documents for your exact kit.
How should I prepare for delivery?
Delivery is by common-carrier LTL freight with curbside liftgate service; you handle movement beyond the end of the driveway. Prepare a firm, accessible surface, clear unloading and staging space, and arrange helpers. Ask Homestead Supplier to confirm access requirements for your site.
What does the nominal 12 × 16 size mean for usable space?
The nominal model size is 12 × 16. The manual specifies a 12 ft 0 in × 15 ft 9 in foundation, equal to a 189-square-foot foundation footprint. Wall framing reduces the clear interior space. Check your equipment and planned layout against the kit plans before ordering.

Don't Take Our Word For it! Here's What Our Customers Think:
Hats off to Homestead Supplier for superior customer service - these guys go above and beyond to answer all my questions. We purchased the Beach House shed for some extra storage but ended up using it as a backyard playhouse for the kids :). Now we have to buy another shed lol... The shed is great, sturdy, and would recommend to others.
- Sam B.
I found the buying experience to be far better than expected. Very easy to order, received immediate order confirmation, excellent customer service, order showed earlier than expected and in excellent condition. Would definitely recommend
- Dean G.
After 7 months of waiting for our pool to be completed, we are thrilled to have gotten our new shed built. It perfectly completes our backyard renovation. We love it! The instructions were clear, and the building is sturdy. We’ve had a number of inquiries about who we bought our shed kit from.
