16x20 Wood Sheds

Clearly a shed of this size is best for large properties. When you consider the size of the shed, plus an additional 4 feet to all sides for ease of movement the footprint is substantial. But if you have a large yard, it’s not an issue. Some things to consider with a 16 by 20 shed is where to place it in your yard and lighting. For placement, the back of a property is typically a good location as that provides ease of access to the door, and this location is less disruptive to the overall property flow. For lighting, a shed of this length can get somewhat dark towards the back. You may want to add windows or skylights for ease of locating stored items or for active work within the space.

16x20 Shed Most Common Uses

16x20 sheds give you an abundant amount of space and there are so many things you can do with all that space. Large item storage, recreation, active use, vehicle storage and more. Long items that typically don’t fit in a lot of sheds will fit in this one. For example, canoes, Kayaks, long ladders, etc. Also consider adding a loft for overhead storage so you have plenty of floor space for cars, ATV's and tractors. If you wanted to start a small business right in your backyard, you could do it with a shed of this size. If you wanted to collect and re-build small sailboats, a shed of this size would be a great choice. If you wanted to build custom motorcycles, this is a great size for an application like that.

Yard Considerations for 16x20 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.

16x20 Shed Features

Wood sheds offer customizability. Wooden materials allow the owner to hang fixtures, shelves, hooks, and boards to organize tools from art supplies to saws and drills. That’s the great thing about 10x10 wood sheds. They can apply to any hobby, any use. If it’s finished serving its purpose as a workshop and needs to morph into a gym or a meditation room, the change is possible, even simple.
