Economy Utility Shed 8 x 12

Economy Utility Shed 8 x 12

An 8x12 cream-color economy shed with red trim is a 96-square-foot storage building with a low-maintenance exterior designed to offer a balance of affordability and functionality for general yard and garden storage needs. The "economy" designation generally means it has essential features without the premium upgrades found in higher-end models. 

Key Features and Specifications

• Size and Space: The shed measures 8 feet by 12 feet, providing approximately 96 square feet (or around 85 sq ft of usable interior space once framing is accounted for) of storage area. This is ideal for storing lawn equipment, tools, bicycles, or small ATVs.
• Design and Aesthetics:
• Color Scheme: The primary siding color is cream (a neutral, light beige hue) with contrasting red trim along the roofline, corners, and possibly the door frame.
• Style: Economy sheds often feature a simple, classic design, typically an A-frame or utility style, with a gable roof. The roof pitch is often lower than premium sheds, and roof overhangs may be minimal or absent to keep costs down.
• Materials:
• Siding: The siding is typically durable, low-maintenance material like vinyl or painted engineered wood siding (e.g., LP SmartSide), which resists rot, decay, and insects.
• Roof: The roof is often constructed with a 29-gauge metal roof or 3-tab shingles over a synthetic vapor barrier.
• Flooring: The floor system typically includes pressure-treated runners (e.g., 4x6 skids) and floor joists, topped with a durable shed flooring like LP ProStruct flooring designed to handle significant weight.
• Construction Details:
• Framing: Economy sheds often use 2x4 wall studs and rafters spaced 24 inches on center, rather than the standard 16 inches on center found in premium models, to reduce material costs.
• Doors: A wide double-entry door (often 54 or 64 inches wide) is standard, allowing for easy access with larger items like lawn tractors.
