10x12 Storage Shed

Wide-Open Access

This 10x12 storage shed packs 120 square feet under a classic 5/12 gable roof, with a 6-foot pair of panelled double doors on the gable end that swing wide for a push or riding mower, a wheelbarrow, bikes, or bulky seasonal gear. A 3-foot side window keeps the interior bright so you are not working in the dark. The proportions and detailing follow a standard ShedPlans-style layout, so the framing is straightforward and uses common lumber dimensions.

Framing & Structure

The walls are framed from 2x4 studs at 16 inches on center with 4x4 corner posts, standing 7 feet 6 inches to the eave, over a 2x6 floor frame on pressure-treated skids (or a concrete slab). The double-door opening is spanned by a doubled 2x8 header and the window uses a 2x6 header. The roof is built from eighteen 2x6 rafters at a 5/12 pitch on a full-length ridge board, sheathed with plywood and finished with building paper and asphalt shingles over a metal drip edge.

Finish & Ventilation

Cedar lap siding, corner boards, and a base skirt give the shed a finished, residential look, while a louvered gable vent keeps air moving through the roof space. The included plan set shows every exterior face — front, back, and both gable ends — plus a dimensioned floor plan, all generated from a true 3D model so the drawings match what you build.
