Ready to Reclaim Your Space with a 12x20 shed kit with loft?

Nominal foundation: 12 ft × 20 ft Doors: Offset gable double doors Loft: Front and rear platforms Roof: Gambrel Siding: Primed LP SmartSide

When rakes, potting soil and seasonal bins crowd the garage, even grabbing a few yard supplies can mean moving something else first. The Best Barns Handcrafted Homestead 12x20 Shed Kit brings everyday storage together at ground level, with front and rear lofts for seasonal belongings you reach for less often. Its offset double doors can be positioned on the left or right during assembly, letting you choose an entrance that works with your route from the yard and your planned storage arrangement.

Benefits

  • Recover Useful Garage Space: Move garden tools and yard supplies into a building dedicated to outdoor storage. Clearing those belongings from the garage gives you more room for parking, household essentials and moving around without shifting bags and tools out of the way.
  • Keep Everyday Belongings Within Reach: Front and rear loft platforms provide overhead storage for seasonal belongings, helping reserve the ground floor for items you use regularly. The open middle keeps the central section free of loft decking, so overhead storage does not mean a loft ceiling running the full length of the shed.
  • Put the Entrance Where It Works for You: Choose a left or right position for the offset double doors based on how you approach from the yard. Matching that choice to your planned storage helps you arrange frequently used supplies along a convenient route from the entrance.
  • Begin With Key Preparation Already Done: Pre-cut framing and truss components and two prebuilt main barn-door panels give your DIY build a useful head start over preparing every structural piece and door from raw materials. You still complete the assembly and some on-site cutting, while working from components that already have key cutting and door construction completed.
  • Choose a Finish That Suits Your Property: The primed LP SmartSide siding lets you choose and supply an exterior acrylic latex paint color that complements your house, fence or other outdoor features. Match existing colors for a coordinated look, or choose a contrasting shade to bring out the Homestead’s classic barn shape.

Features

Illustration of the 12x20 Handcrafted Homestead with offset gable double doors and front loft-access doors. The window, shutters, painted finish, finished roofing and ground-level floor and base shown are not included.

Front and rear loft storage

Two separate loft platforms include framing and 7/16-inch OSB decking, with an open center between them. The loft does not extend the full length of the shed.

Offset double-door entry

The main double doors sit to one side of the gable wall. Choose a left or right offset during assembly, before the front-wall siding is installed.

Working front loft-access doors

The upper doors provide outside access to the front loft. If you prefer a gable without them, the assembly manual includes that construction option.

Prepared framing and prebuilt doors

Pre-cut wood framing and truss components, trim and two prebuilt main door panels are supplied for the build. The kit requires assembly and some on-site cutting.

Primed siding and roof sheathing

LP SmartSide siding arrives primed for your chosen exterior paint, and OSB roof sheathing is included. Supply the paint and finished roof covering separately.

Specifications

Foundation dimensions are not usable interior measurements. The tallest ceiling is in the open center between the loft platforms.

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.
