Will a 16×20 Shed Fit in my Yard?

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.
