Is the 12x8 Saltbox Studio Shed the right backyard office for everyday use?

The Saltbox Studio Shed is a 12×8 Western Red Cedar backyard office kit made to feel like a real workspace, not just extra storage. It has a clean saltbox roof shape, two large windows for natural light, and enough interior height so it feels open and comfortable while you work. If you want a backyard office that comes as a complete kit and feels like a real room once it’s set up, this style is a solid fit for daily use, work calls, creative projects, studying, or just having a quiet space away from the house.

Benefits

  • Bright workspace that doesn’t feel closed-in: The shed includes two 47 1/2″ × 47 1/2″ windows, which makes a big difference if you’re using this as a daily office, studio, or quiet room. More daylight usually means the space feels less like a “shed” and more like a room you’ll actually stay in.

  • Roomy feel with real headspace and an easy entry: It’s designed with up to 127 1/4″ interior height and a 37 1/2″ wide entry, so it’s easier to move in a desk, chair, or storage without fighting the doorway, and the space feels comfortable once it’s set up.

  • Cedar exterior with a modern, durable roof setup: The Western Red Cedar lap siding paired with a black metal roof (26-gauge Galvalume panels) gives it a clean look that’s meant to hold up well outdoors while keeping the design modern.

  • More confidence in bad weather: It has a 45 lb/ft² snow-load rating and uses ridge caps, closures, and solid connection hardware to help keep everything tight.

  • DIY-friendly build: Panelized wall and roof sections with labeled parts and included hardware. Build time is estimated at 2–3 days with two people.

  • Easy to finish the way you want: It ships unstained, so you can match the look you want. Since the interior wall kit isn’t included, you’re free to set up power, heat, and interior finishing based on your needs.

Site Prep

Preparing the site appropriately is crucial for the successful installation of sheds, gardens, gazebos, playhouses, or pergolas. A comprehensive assessment of the site helps to safeguard the structural soundness and durability of these outdoor fixtures. Removing debris from the area, ensuring the ground is level, and evaluating soil drainage can mitigate potential problems down the line. Proper site preparation aids in preventing water buildup which could result in early rotting and damage. Furthermore, it guarantees a stable and even base, avoiding any structural instability. Dedicating time to adequate site prep before initiating a project guarantees that your investment will be safe, durable, and aesthetically pleasing for many years.

Please keep in mind: Some municipalities mandate building permits before installation. We encourage all customers to verify these specifics with their local county/municipality prior to buying any of our products as this is your sole responsibility.

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.
