Keep pruning tools, gardening supplies and seasonal containers together for the next job in the yard. The Best Barns Shedquarters 12x20 Shed Kit suits hands-on homeowners who want a DIY wood shed they can organize with everyday tools near the entrance and less-used supplies farther inside. As you build the door wall, center the hinged double doors on the gable end or place them to either side to suit your approach from the yard.
Benefits
Separate everyday and seasonal supplies: A dedicated storage building lets you group frequently used yard supplies apart from items you put away between seasons. Plan their locations around how often you need them, keeping regular-use supplies nearer the entrance.
Place the entrance to suit your layout: Choose centered, offset-left or offset-right doors on the gable end during assembly, before building the door wall. That gives you a chance to consider both your approach to the shed and your intended storage arrangement before committing to the entrance position.
Open both panels for carrying supplies: The two hinged barn-door panels open separately, and both can be opened when carrying containers or bundled supplies. You can use one panel for routine access and open the second when the task calls for more of the doorway.
Start with key building parts prepared: Pre-cut wall-framing and roof-truss components, along with two pre-built main door panels, mean some material preparation and door-panel construction are already done. Customer assembly and some on-site cutting remain part of the project.
Coordinate the exterior with your property: LP SmartSide siding arrives primed and requires exterior painting, giving you the choice of a color that complements your home or garden setting. Trim is supplied, while you choose and supply the exterior paint.

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.
