At 200 square feet, a 10×20 shed is one of our larger shed sizes and is a great choice for homeowners looking for a place to store lawn tractors, garden tools, outdoor decor, and other items.
Our ranch sheds feature a classic design style that looks great in a variety of settings. It’s a great choice for a garden or storage shed, and will upgrade the look of your backyard.
The classic shed is similar to the ranch shed but features a steeper roof pitch. This design gives the shed a beautiful profile and allows for additional space for a loft or a roof dormer, which allows more natural light. The classic shed is the perfect platform for she sheds, home art studios, hobby sheds and more.
High barn sheds are a great choice for a shed when you need lots of space. With a wall height of 75″, each high barn shed comes with a loft as standard, and the option to add a second one. If you have lots of items to store, a high barn shed is a perfect choice.
The low barn shed has the same basic style as the high barn but with lower sidewalls. This shed is a great choice for storage of boxes and other things that clutter up your garage and basement.
The Quaker shed is designed with a New England-inspired design that gives it a unique look. It combines practicality and style, making it a great choice to upgrade the look of your backyard or farm.
The studio, or modern shed, features a single-slope roof. This model is great for specialized uses like backyard offices, man caves, art studios, she sheds, and other uses.
Generally speaking, you should have a permit to install a 10×20 shed. Since 10×20 sheds are over 200 square feet, it will often meet the local requirements of needing a permit. However, it’s important to check with the local government to confirm any specific regulations or requirements before installing a shed of any size.
How Much gravel do I need for a 10×20 Shed Foundation?
A 10×20 shed foundation typically requires approximately 3.3 cubic yards of gravel. Since we recommend making your foundation a foot longer and wider than the shed on all sides, you will need a pad that measures 12×22. We also recommend a depth of at least 4″.
Please note that these calculations will only work if your site is level. If you are installing your shed on a slope, more gravel will be required. For more site prep information, check out our site prep page.
How many square feet is a 10×20 shed?
The total footprint of a 10×20 shed is 200 square feet. However, it’s important to note that the usable interior space will be slightly less than this due to the thickness of the walls.
To calculate the usable floor space, subtract approximately 5″ from each side of the interior dimensions. This accounts for the wall studs (3.5″) and the sheathing and siding on the outside (up to 1.5″).
Thus, to perform the calculation you should multiply 9 feet 7 inches by 19 feet 7 inches, yielding an estimated interior space of approximately 171.5 Square Feet.
