The 12×28 shed size features an abundance of storage space, making it a great choice for homeowners who need ample capacity. With its expanded size, this shed offers plenty of room while remaining a manageable overall size. It’s a great choice for those with larger yards or individuals in need of extra storage. These buildings can also easily be turned into backyard guesthouses, cabins, and more. Please note that due to its size, a 12×28 shed typically requires a permit.
The 12×28 Ranch shed is an ideal choice for basic backyard storage needs. It’s built in a traditional a-frame design that fits nicely in a variety of environments. Whether you need a storage shed or a workshop, this could be the perfect shed.
Our Classic Shed is designed similarly to our Ranch shed. It features the same a-frame profile, but has a steeper roof pitch. The steep roof profile makes this the perfect shed to add an interior loft or roof dormer. It’s a great choice for a workshop or she shed.
Our High Barn Shed is built with arched trusses, giving it a unique, barn-like profile and plenty of interior space. Each barn is equipped with a loft area, and an option to add a second space. This shed is a great choice if you need to store larger items.
Similar to our High Barn Shed, the Low Barn comes with the same arched truss design, but with lower sidewalls. These storage sheds still have plenty of interior space, but with a lower roof for a more compact design.
Our Quaker Shed is inspired by a style made popular in the New England region. It features an offset roof line for a distinct profile. If you want a classically styled shed with plenty of features, this is the storage building for you.
In most cases, 12×28 sheds will require a permit due to their size. It’s important to verify the local regulations before proceeding with a shed installation, regardless of the shed size.
How Much gravel do I need for a 12×28 Shed Foundation?
A 12×28 shed foundation typically requires approximately 5.2 cubic yards of gravel. It’s recommended to make the foundation one foot longer and wider than the shed on all sides. A 12×28 shed pad should ideally measure 14×30 feet and have a depth of at least 4 inches.
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 12×28 shed?
The total footprint of a 12×28 shed is 336 square feet. However, please note that the usable interior space will be slightly smaller due to the wall studs, sheathing, and siding. To calculate the usable floor space, subtract at least 5 inches from each side.
As a result, the approximate usable interior space for a 12×28 shed is around 297.5 square feet. This is calculated by multiplying 11 feet 7 inches by 27 feet 7 inches.
