Will a 12×16 Shed Fit in My Yard?

That’s an important question. First, consider that in addition to the dimensions of the shed you need to add a minimum of 3 feet of space to all sides for ease of passage. 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. With a shed of this size it often works well to place it at the back corner of your property. With a shed that has more depth versus width, you will also want to consider the items you’d like to store within the floor space. You will want to leave room in-between items so you can easily pass through the items to access the very back of the shed. Need additional assistance setting up your yard for a 12 by 16 shed?
