Know before you buy
While the structure is designed for maximum storage, its spacious interior and second-story loft make it a popular choice for conversion into a studio, workshop, or hobby space. Please note that you will need to consult your local building department regarding permits and insulation requirements for habitable use.
The Elite Package enhances the aesthetic and functionality of the shed by adding a 20-foot dormer, two insulated dormer windows, and two additional lower insulated windows complete with paintable shutters.
The kit features precision pre-cut materials and a structured design to simplify the building process. While it is designed for DIY assembly, the scale of the structure means it is a significant project that requires basic construction knowledge, proper tools, and at least two people to assemble safely.
The first floor provides a comfortable 7'3" of headroom, while the second-story loft offers a maximum height of 7'1" at its peak, providing ample room for storage or a functional workspace.
The structure is built using TimberPrestige™ Eurowood and features LP Smart Side® siding, which is engineered to resist rot, decay, and termite damage. The SecureTruss™ system further reinforces the frame to ensure long-term stability.
Yes, you can choose between a standard Walk-In Man Door or Transom Doors, depending on your preference for aesthetics and how you plan to move items in and out of the structure.
