Why choose a 12x20 shed kit with loft for your backyard storage?

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

Seasonal decorations, garden supplies, and project materials can quickly use up the garage space you need every day. The Best Barns Handcrafted Homestead 12x20 Shed Kit with Loft gives homeowners a dedicated place to organize those belongings, with front and rear loft platforms for separating occasional-use items from supplies kept below. Its centered gable entrance leaves both long sidewalls free of main doorways, so you can plan storage around the way you use the building.

Benefits

  • Give occasional-use belongings their own place: The included front and rear loft platforms provide separate upper areas for organizing seasonal belongings while keeping frequently used supplies below. The middle remains open between the platforms, and functional upper loft-access doors provide access at loft level.
  • Plan storage along both long walls: With the main doorway on the gable end, neither sidewall is interrupted by an entrance. You can plan your own shelving, hooks, or work surfaces along the sides to keep gardening supplies and project materials organized.
  • Open both doors when moving supplies: The main entrance has two barn-door panels, allowing you to open both when carrying containers or project supplies into the shed. That gives you options for using the entrance as you put belongings away or gather what you need for the day.
  • Choose a finish that suits your yard: The included LP SmartSide siding comes primed for owner-supplied paint. You can coordinate the exterior with your home or other backyard buildings instead of planning around a fixed paint color.
  • Start with prepared building components: Pre-cut wood parts and two prebuilt main barn-door panels handle some of the preparation involved in building from raw materials. Customer assembly and some on-site cutting are still required, but the supplied components give you a practical starting point for the project.

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.
