THE 12 × 10 SHED FOOTPRINT

The original Backlot footprint.

The owner’s reference build measures 12 × 10 feet: a twelve-foot front, ten-foot depth, and 120-square-foot shed footprint. The final specification identifies actual internal dimensions, overall height, and the approved floor and roof systems.

Make the space work.

  • Use the wider front to arrange the entry door and a large window, keeping the path from the yard clear.
  • Compare the optional five-foot-wide, three-foot-deep front porch against the available space outside the shed.
  • Plan storage against the ten-foot depth and allow for the space occupied by the actual wall assemblies.

The optional porch adds a separate 15-square-foot landing. Roof coverage, supports, setbacks and any permitting area calculation need site review. The 120-square-foot shed footprint is not a statement of permit exemption.

One useful question

Does a twelve-foot front with a projecting porch fit your access path better than the ten-foot-front alternative?

The founder’s Backlot build has 8-foot walls and a vaulted ceiling. Its optional porch measures 5 feet wide by 3 feet deep: a separate 15-square-foot footprint, outside the enclosed 120 square feet. Supports, roof coverage and setbacks are reviewed for your site. See the original Backlot build details.

Thinking beyond storage?

A full build adds a finished interior for an office, studio or personal space. Start with your desk or work surface, then leave room for the chair, door swing and a clear route through the room. Insulation and wall finishes reduce the usable interior dimensions from this exterior footprint.

Base package prices include the standard foundation. The concrete foundation upgrade adds a flat $5,000 to the starting price, regardless of shed or porch area.

Starting prices are based on your selected package, area and foundation. Final specifications, site work, other upgrades and applicable taxes are confirmed in your written quote.

Porch rates apply to the enclosed exterior footprint plus the porch area. Examples include the Backlot’s 5′ × 3′ porch; it is optional and separate from the enclosed floor space.
