Is the Cedarshed 6x9 Rancher Large Shed Kit the Right Storage Solution for a Narrow Yard?
The Cedarshed 6x9 Rancher Large Shed Kit adds 54 square feet of organized storage without requiring a wide section of your property. Its narrow profile and added depth give you a practical place for a push mower, bicycles, long-handled tools, gardening supplies, and seasonal items that would otherwise compete for space in the garage. A wide double-door entrance keeps equipment accessible, while the included floor, fixed window, and Western Red Cedar exterior make this compact DIY shed useful from the inside and attractive from the yard.
Benefits
-
Make Better Use of a Narrow Outdoor Area: The 6-foot width allows the shed to occupy less space across the yard, while the 9-foot depth provides more storage capacity than a basic square footprint. This makes it easier to add dedicated storage without giving up a broad section of your outdoor space.
-
Separate Everyday Gear from Seasonal Storage: Use the deeper end of the shed for holiday decorations, outdoor cushions, and supplies you only need occasionally. Keep your mower, hand tools, bicycles, and frequently used garden equipment closer to the entrance so they remain easy to retrieve.
-
Roll Equipment Through a Roomier Entrance: The 60-inch-wide double doors give you more clearance for moving a mower, wheelbarrow, bicycles, or wide containers. Opening both doors reduces the need to tilt, turn, or repeatedly reposition bulky items at the doorway.
-
Reduce the Framing Work Required on Site: The prebuilt wall panels require no cutting during standard assembly, removing several measuring and framing steps from the project. Assembly hardware, building plans, cedar floor joists, and plywood floor decking are also included, giving you the main components needed to build a usable storage space.
-
Add Compact Storage That Still Looks Finished: The fixed window brings daylight into the interior when you are locating tools or supplies. Western Red Cedar siding, decorative shutters, and a window box help the shed blend into a residential setting instead of looking like a plain storage box.

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.
