Utility Shed 12x20

Utility Shed 12x20

A cream-colored 12x20 utility shed with green trim is a large, versatile outdoor structure providing approximately 240 square feet of space, often used for storage, workshops, or studios. The color scheme offers a classic, natural aesthetic that blends well with a garden or backyard environment. 

General Features

• Size and Space: With 240 sq. ft. of coverage, the shed offers ample room for storing large equipment like lawn tractors or motorcycles, or for setting up workbenches and shelving for a dedicated workspace. Interior wall heights are often generous (e.g., 6'6" or higher) to maximize vertical storage or allow for loft installation.
• Design: Utility sheds generally have a simple, practical design, often with a gable or A-frame roof style, though other options like high-barn (gambrel) or mono-slope designs are available. The green trim highlights architectural features like doors, windows, and corners, adding a touch of color to the cream-colored siding.
• Materials: Common materials include wood (often treated to resist decay and insects, like SmartSide siding), vinyl siding, or metal panels. The trim is typically made of wood or a durable composite wood designed to resist rotting.
• Standard Components:
• Doors: Typically feature wide double doors (e.g., 56" or 70" openings) for easy access with large items, often with lockable handles for security.
• Flooring/Foundation: Usually built on pressure-treated floor joists and skids (e.g., 4x6 pressure treated skids and 2x6 floor joists) with sturdy flooring (e.g., 5/8" plywood), though some kits require a separate foundation (concrete, gravel, etc.).
• Roofing: The roof often uses architectural shingles (lifetime limited warranty available) or durable metal panels, frequently with a roof overhang and gable vents for air circulation.
• Durability: The materials and construction are designed to be weather-resistant and withstand specific wind and snow loads, varying by manufacturer and local building codes. 

Customization Options

• Loft Space: The large size often allows for the addition of a loft for extra storage, maximizing the shed's utility.
• Workbenches and Shelving: The spacious interior can be further customized with workbenches and shelving to suit specific project or storage needs.
• Electrical: Some sheds come with basic wiring packages (e.g., one light, one switch, one receptacle) or can be pre-wired for electricity.
