A Tall Backyard Shed Plan

This is our 8x12 backyard shed with taller walls so you can install factory built doors. The plans also include door plans so you can build doors at home. There are options on the plans to install double doors on the long wall or a 3068 door on the 8' wall

The 8x12 backyard shed has the option to use either the 7'-7" wall height or 8'-1" if you want to use pre cut framing studs for the shed walls.

• Trim: 1x4 and 1x6 wood, masonite or cement trim materials are used to finish the corners, roof eves and facia, and door.
• Floor Load: 50 pounds per square foot for framed floors. You don't want your shed floor to feel spongy.
