Side Utility Shed 10x16

Side Utility Shed 10x16

A cream 10x16 side utility shed with olive trim is a spacious, rectangular outdoor building with a low-pitch or standard gable roof and standard features like double doors and at least one window. The key characteristic is its color scheme, featuring cream colored siding and olive trim accents. 

Standard Features

A 10x16 side utility shed offers 160 square feet of versatile space for storage or as a workspace. Common features often include: 

• Siding: The siding is the main body of the shed and is finished in a cream color. Materials can vary, often including durable and low-maintenance options like vinyl siding or treated LP Smart Panel wood siding that is resistant to decay.
• Trim: The trim, featured around the roof line (fascia), windows, and doors, is finished in an olive color, providing a distinct contrast to the cream siding.
• Doors: The "side utility" style means the main doors are on one of the 16-foot sides, offering wide access. A typical configuration is a 70-inch or 6-foot wide set of double wooden or fiberglass doors, often with heavy-duty hardware and a keyed lock.
• Windows: The shed typically includes at least one or two 24x36-inch or 2x3-foot windows, often single-hung with latches and screens, providing natural light and ventilation.
• Construction: The shed is built on pressure-treated 4x6 skids with 2x4 or 2x6 pressure-treated floor joists, spaced 16 inches on center, and covered with 5/8-inch tongue-and-groove engineered wood flooring.
• Roof: The roof is typically a low-pitch gable design, often covered in 29-gauge metal or architectural asphalt shingles, rated for durability.
• Interior Height: Interior wall height is typically around 7 feet 8 inches or 8 feet, offering ample headroom. 

Customization and Aesthetics

The cream siding and olive trim offer a classic, natural aesthetic that blends well into many backyard environments. Customization options may be available to tailor the look and functionality further: 

• Roof Color: While the trim is olive, the roof color is usually a neutral tone like black, charcoal, or a silver/galvalume metal, which can complement the olive trim well.
• Shutters: Decorative shutters in the olive trim color can be added to the windows for enhanced curb appeal.
• Dormers: Some models may offer optional roof dormers to add architectural interest and potentially more light or overhead storage space.
