Is the Cedarshed 10x16 Rancher Large Shed Kit the right size for your storage needs?
The Cedarshed 10x16 Rancher Large Shed Kit gives homeowners 160 square feet of practical backyard storage for lawn equipment, motorcycles, bicycles, tools, and seasonal supplies. It provides substantial storage capacity without requiring the footprint of the 10x20 Rancher model. With a Western Red Cedar exterior, wide double doors, an included plywood floor, and panelized construction, this DIY shed helps you free up garage space and keep outdoor belongings protected and organized.
Benefits
-
Provides Generous Storage in a Manageable Footprint: The 10-by-16-foot layout provides 160 square feet of space for bulky equipment, everyday tools, and seasonal belongings. There is enough room to create separate storage zones for lawn care equipment, bicycles, gardening supplies, and household overflow while maintaining space to move between items.
-
Makes Bulky Equipment Easier to Store: A 60-inch-wide double-door opening gives you convenient access for items that are difficult to move through a standard shed entrance. Riding lawn mowers, motorcycles, bicycles, wheelbarrows, and storage carts can be moved in and out with less awkward maneuvering.
-
Supports Dependable Outdoor Storage: The Western Red Cedar exterior is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects, helping the shed handle long-term outdoor use. Kiln-dried SPF framing provides structural support inside, while the cedar siding gives the building a natural appearance that fits comfortably into a backyard setting.
-
Reduces Complicated On-Site Building Work: Prebuilt wall panels eliminate the need to cut and frame each wall from individual pieces. Assembly hardware and plans are included, helping experienced DIY homeowners spend less time measuring, cutting, and sourcing basic construction materials.
-
Includes Practical Features with Flexible Roof Choices: An included plywood floor creates a ready-to-use storage surface, while the fixed window allows natural light into the shed. Cedar shingle, corrugated metal, and OSB roof options let you select a finish based on your preferred appearance, local conditions, and roofing plans.

Floor and Foundation Planning
The Rancher kit includes pre-cut cedar floor joists and 5/8 in plywood floor panels. Before assembly, prepare a flat, level site that supports the full floor system and provides drainage away from the shed.
Cedarshed recommends patio stones, pressure-treated 4x4 beams over a prepared base, or a concrete slab. Foundation requirements can vary by location, so check local building and permit requirements before preparing the site.
Delivery and Unloading
The current estimated lead time is about 2 weeks for production plus approximately 1 week for delivery. Delivery time depends on the distance from British Columbia, Canada, to your location.
The freight carrier will call to arrange a delivery window after the shipment reaches the local terminal. Delivery is made to the property line or driveway when the carrier can reach the location safely.
Most shipments can be lowered from the truck with a liftgate. If liftgate service is not available for your delivery, two people can usually unload the panels by hand in about 15 to 30 minutes after removing the paper wrap and plastic straps. Let Homestead Supplier know before ordering if the delivery address has narrow roads, limited truck access, steep grades, or another access concern.
