Overall Size

• Width: 12 feet
• Length: 16 feet

Floor Framing

The floor is framed with pressure-treated 2x6 joists spaced 12 inches on center, creating a durable platform capable of supporting heavy lawn equipment, tools, and machinery.

Wall Framing

Walls are constructed using standard 2x4 framing spaced 16 inches on center, making materials easy to purchase from virtually any home improvement store.

Roof System

The attractive gable roof features a 6/12 pitch and is framed using pre-built trusses for strength, durability, and easier construction.

Finish the roof with asphalt shingles or customize it with the roofing material of your choice.
