A 12×20 storage shed is the perfect addition to any backyard. It’s big enough to store your lawnmower, gardening tools, sports equipment and more while being small enough to fit on a smaller property space.

A 12×20 shed can also be easily modified depending on what you need it for. In this blog post we will go over everything you need to know about adding a 12×20 storage shed in your backyard.

What Is the Shed Made Of?

Wood

Wood sheds are the most traditional choice for a backyard shed and can be built with either tongue-and-groove or board-and-batten construction. The former allows for more flexibility in design.

Metal

Metal sheds are typically made from galvanized steel panels that come with pre-drilled holes where screws go through them; as such, they don’t require any cutting on your part—which makes them easy enough that even those without any building experience can put them together without difficulty (although some preassembly is usually required).

While they’re generally more expensive than wood sheds due to their greater strength and durability against weathering effects like rainwater damage over time, metal sheds are also lighter weight than their wooden counterparts so less work goes into moving them around once finished building them too.

Aluminum

Aluminum has become increasingly popular as an alternative material because its lower cost allows homeowners who might otherwise not be able to afford metal’s higher price tag access

Advantages of a 12×20 Storage Shed

Your 12×20 storage shed can serve many purposes. It can be used for storage, but it could also be used as a workshop or even a home office. Not only will you save money on space by using your backyard shed rather than renting a storage unit, but you’ll also declutter your house and save room in the garage.

If you want to add a little extra privacy to your 12×20 storage shed, consider installing a small window on the side of the structure. This will allow you to sit outside and still feel like you have some privacy.

If you’re planning on gardening or just need somewhere to store your gardening tools and accessories, then having an outdoor shed is perfect. You can keep all of these items stored away neatly in one place.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a way to add more space to your backyard, a 12×20 shed is an excellent choice. It’s the perfect option for those who need extra storage space, but don’t want to get overwhelmed by the size of a larger building.

There are many things that you can do with your shed and there is no limit to how much storage space it can provide. With so many options available, you are sure to find one that suits your needs!
