12x12 Shed Options to Consider

If you want to turn your 12x12 shed into a potting or garden shed, wall space is a great place to hang long-handled garden tools. If you have a larger lawn tractor, motorcycle, or ATV, you can size up your door to a double-wide option. Maybe you have lawn furniture that only stays out in the summer: protect it from the winter weather in your shed. If you want to build a bar or space for socialization, this shed size is ideal with plenty of room for fun and relaxation.

Yard Considerations for 12x12 Wood Sheds

Location

Consider that in addition to the dimensions of the shed, you’ll need to add a minimum of three feet of space to all sides for ease of passage.

Light

With a shed this long you may want to consider adding additional windows or skylights so you have the right amount of natural light to access stored items or work inside the shed.

Storage

As a shed that has more depth than width, consider the items you’d like to store within the floor space. Leave room between items for easy passage throughout the shed, making sure to leave room to access the very back.

12x12 Shed Features

So, you're ready to embark on the project of choosing a shed. The first step of the project is to have a clear idea about the shed's intended purpose. Will you use it to store tools or for activities, like woodworking? Or both?

Another important factor to pay attention to is what size and shape will fit the specific features of your backyard best. Remember that you need to leave a minimum of 3 feet of open space on all sides of the shed for ease of passage. One of the advantages of a square shed is that you get a lot of square footage without any single side being too long. If you're looking for an aesthetically-pleasing shed with a good amount of space, a 12x12 shed is the perfect choice.
