Side Utility Shed 10 x 12

Side Utility Shed 10 x 12

A light brown 10x12 side utility shed with dark brown trim and a dark brown roof is a spacious and durable outdoor storage solution with a classic appearance, typically offering around 120 square feet of floor space. The side utility design means the main doors are usually on the 12-foot side, providing wide and easy access. 

Construction and Materials

Sheds with this color scheme are often made from wood or metal, each offering specific benefits regarding durability and maintenance. 

• Siding: The siding is a light brown color, often a durable material like treated engineered wood (LP SmartSide) or galvanized steel with a powder-coated finish designed to resist rust, decay, and insects.
• Trim: The dark brown trim provides a distinct, contrasting outline around the edges, corners, and door frames, enhancing the shed's aesthetic appeal and providing extra weather protection at the seams.
• Roof: The dark brown roof is usually constructed from materials like metal panels (often 29-gauge metal with a 30-year limited warranty) or asphalt shingles, with a sloped or gable design to effectively shed water and snow.
• Frame/Foundation: The structure typically features a robust internal frame (e.g., 2x4 wood framing or reinforced aluminum/steel) and a pressure-treated floor system designed for heavy use, capable of supporting significant weight. 
• Size: Exterior dimensions are approximately 10 feet wide by 12 feet deep, providing about 120 square feet of floor space and around 700 to 873 cubic feet of storage capacity.
• Walls: Side walls are often 6 to 7 feet high, offering ample vertical storage space and room to stand comfortably.
• Doors: Features a large set of double doors (e.g., 5-6 feet wide) mounted on one of the 12-foot sides, facilitating easy entry for large items like lawnmowers or bicycles.
• Ventilation and Security: Integrated vents help maintain airflow and prevent moisture buildup, while a lockable handle or latch mechanism (padlocks often sold separately) provides security.
