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.
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.

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.
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.
