Is a 12×20 Shed right for you?

A 12×20 outdoor storage space may be right for you. It comes with plenty of open storage space that can fit many of your backyard essentials. That being said, there are some things you should look at before purchasing the 12×20 storage shed. This may include the size of your yard, where it will be placed in your yard, and the zoning laws for your county and state.

SPACING IN YOUR YARD

When deciding on which shed you need, consider the size of your yard. This is crucial because of different zoning laws for sheds, we recommend 18 inches of extra length and width, so the shed is securely placed on the foundation. You should also be aware of preventing clutter in your backyard. Having too many items without much space left will make it look less attractive. Zoning laws may vary between states and depends on how big your shed will be. No one wants a yard with no space. Therefore, you should make sure you have that extra space to enjoy your yard without too much clutter.

Why get a 12×20 storage shed?

A 12×20 storage shed provides you with 240 square feet which is enough to have 2-3 lawn care machines and also space to have a workbench or a loft! The 12×20 shed is a great option if you are looking for a medium-sized storage building without breaking the bank. If you need a shed larger than 12×20, a 12×30 shed is a great option!
