Is a 12x24 shed with loft the answer to your growing storage needs?

Nominal size: 12 ft × 24 ft Loft: Full-length storage loft Windows: Five included Roof: 10/12 gable pitch Siding: Primed LP SmartSide

Give tools, lawn equipment, and seasonal supplies a dedicated home with the Best Barns Planner’s Paradise Elite 12x24 Shed Kit. This DIY wood shed kit with dormers is built for homeowners who want to bring order to crowded storage spaces and take on their own building project. Its full-length loft helps separate occasional-use belongings from everyday equipment, while multiple entrances make it easier to plan storage around the way you work.

Benefits

  • Organize storage across two levels: The 8-foot-wide loft runs the length of the building, providing a separate place for seasonal belongings. Its published height is 4 feet 3 inches, so you can plan overhead storage around lower-profile items and reserve the main floor for taller equipment.
  • Flexible Door Access: The centered 5-foot-5-inch sliding doors provide the main gable-wall entrance without requiring swing space. A separate centered 32-inch 9-lite door on the side offers convenient walk-in access for everyday visits when opening the main doors is unnecessary.
  • Bring natural light into your storage space: Two 18-by-36-inch windows, a gable sunburst window, and two dormers with sunburst windows let daylight into the shed. These window details also give the exterior a finished architectural character, complemented by included vinyl shutters.
  • Practical DIY Project Planning: Precision precut materials help reduce measuring and cutting during customer assembly. The dormer kit also includes four prebuilt angle sidewall panels and two prebuilt trusses. Some on-site cutting is still required, including the dormer roof openings, so you can plan the tools and help needed before beginning.
  • Personalize the finished build: Primed LP SmartSide siding requires paint, letting you choose a color that complements your property. The customer-assembled kit includes roof sheathing, while final roofing and the floor are purchased separately, giving you choices as you plan the complete project.

Both configurations include the Elite dormer package and a separate 32-inch 9-lite walk-in door centered on the eave side. The main double doors are centered on the gable wall.

What Is Included?

  • 12x24 wood shed kit with sliding main doors centered on the gable wall.
  • Two dormers, each with a sunburst window.
  • Two 18 × 36-inch windows with vinyl shutters.
  • One gable sunburst window, bringing the included window total to five.
  • One 32-inch 9-lite walk-in door.
  • Full-length storage loft and roof sheathing.

What You Need to Supply

  • A suitable level, square foundation and a shed floor. The base shed floor is not included; FortressFloor is optional.
  • Final roof covering. These configurations include roof sheathing, without a roof-finishing package.
  • Exterior paint or solid-colored stain and the required caulking.
  • A loft ladder or steps, if needed. Neither is included.

Assembly and Site Planning

This is a customer-assembled kit. Read the manual for your selected door configuration together with the dormer manual before preparing the site or beginning construction.

Both 12x24 manuals specify a 12 ft 0 in × 24 ft 0 in foundation. Prepare a level, square base, and check local building-code and HOA requirements before building. The permit sets below provide product drawings for your planning.

The loft has a 2 ft × 4 ft access opening, with its location chosen during assembly. Plan that opening and your separate access equipment before completing the loft. Some cutting is required, including openings for the dormers.

Exterior Finishing and Care

Finish the primed siding within 30 days of assembly with at least two coats of 100% acrylic latex exterior paint or solid-colored stain. Follow the official instructions for caulking and sealing exposed siding edges, faces, doors and trim. Regular maintenance is required by the warranty.

Warranty

Coverage varies by component: workmanship and windows have one year of coverage; hardware, metal components, roof sheathing and loft sheathing have two years; LP SmartSide siding has a 50-year manufacturer warranty. Conditions and exclusions apply.

Review the official warranty terms for assembly, finishing and maintenance requirements. Contact Homestead Supplier for warranty assistance.

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.
