Could a 12x20 shed with loft make your storage plan work harder?

Nominal Size: 12 ft × 20 ft Loft: Full length, 8 ft wide Sidewall Height: 8 ft 1 in Roof Pitch: 10/12 gable Siding: Primed LP SmartSide

Storage is easier to manage when frequently used tools and long-term belongings do not have to compete for the same floor space. The Best Barns Planner’s Paradise Elite 12x20 Shed Kit is designed for homeowners who want a dedicated place for outdoor equipment, project supplies, and seasonal items. Its full-length loft adds another storage level, while the gable-end sliding doors and separate side entry support different ways of accessing what you keep inside.

Benefits

  • Storage above the main floor: The 8-foot-wide loft runs the length of the building and measures 4 feet 3 inches tall, providing a separate place for suitable stored belongings. A ladder or steps are not included, so you can plan loft access around your needs.
  • Sliding doors that conserve space: The 5-foot-5-inch-wide sliding doors are centered on the gable end and do not require outward swing room. This makes it easier to use the area directly outside the entrance while moving stored items and equipment in or out.
  • A separate entrance for routine visits: The 32-inch 9-lite walk-in door on the eave side gives you another way into the shed without operating the larger sliding doors. It is a practical choice when you need to retrieve smaller tools, supplies, or frequently used belongings.
  • Natural light from several directions: Two 18-by-36-inch windows, a gable sunburst window, and two dormers with sunburst windows bring additional daylight into the structure. The dormer windows also provide ventilation, helping the interior feel more open while you organize or retrieve stored items.
  • An exterior you can coordinate: LP SmartSide siding adds protection and longevity and arrives primed for paint. You can choose a finish that works with your home, fence, or other outdoor structures.

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.
