The 8×14 shed size is a medium size that fits well in most backyards. At 112 square feet, these sheds are slightly smaller than a typical 120 square foot bedroom. These sheds are large enough to store a lawn mower and other gardening equipment.
The 8×14 Ranch shed is an ideal choice for basic backyard storage needs. Its clean design lines complement any backyard, making it a versatile option. The interior of the shed can be easily customized to accommodate all your storage requirements.
The Classic shed is similar to the Ranch shed but features a steeper roof pitch. This design enhances the shed’s look and provides space for a loft or a roof dormer. The classic shed is an ideal choice for various purposes such as she sheds, home art studios, and more.
If you want to maximize the space within your 8×14 shed, the high barn shed is the optimal choice. With a wall height of 75 inches, each high barn shed comes with a standard loft and the option to add a second one. If you have a large number of items to store, the high barn shed offers ample space.
The quaker shed features a beautiful A-frame design with an offset roofline, providing an extra overhang on the front of the building. This design gives the shed a distinct look that will upgrade the style of your backyard.
For those looking for a cost-effective solution to store gardening tools and keep garage clutter out of sight, the low barn shed is an excellent option. It maintains the classic look of the high barn shed but with lower sidewalls.
The studio, also known as the modern shed, showcases a single-slope roof. This clean and modern design theme makes this model is popular for specialized uses such as backyard offices, man caves, art studios, and she sheds.
For many areas, any shed under 120 square feet does not need a permit. An 8×14 shed is 112 square feet, so you likely will not need a permit for it. However, it’s always best to check with your local government for specific regulations.

How Much gravel do I need for an 8×14 Shed Foundation?
An 8×14 shed foundation typically requires approximately 2 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 10×16.
We also recommend a depth of at least 4″. These calculations assume that your site is level. If you are installing the shed on a slope, you may need more gravel. For more information on site preparation, please refer to our site prep page.
How many square feet is an 8×14 shed?
The total footprint of an 8×14 shed is 112 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 7 feet 7 inches by 13 feet 7 inches, yielding an estimated interior space of approximately 91.5 Square Feet.
