The 10x12 backyard storage shed plans include:

7'-7" or 8'-1" wall height - The 7'-7" wall height allows a pre-hung factory built door to go on any wall and reduces the amount of siding and labor needed to build the shed. The 8'-1" wall height lets you use 92-5/8" framing studs just like a home.

Factory or Home Built Doors - Using a pre hung door makes the door building and hanging job much easier. The shed plans also include door plans if you prefer to build your own doors.

Multiple Door Options - Drawings explaining how to build the door on the end or sides of the shed.

5 Foundations - Skid, concrete slab, poured concrete pier, concrete block pier, precast pier.
