How Much Can You Fit In An 8×12 Shed?
The 8×12 shed size is popular both because it is large enough to give you plenty of extra space while also small enough to be affordable and practical in most backyards. The 96 square feet in the shed provides you with enough space to store common lawn and garden items, including a lawnmower, wheelbarrow, bicycles, etc… This is also a large enough shed to turn it into a workshop or to finish out the interior for something like a home office or a hobby shed. Here is a diagram showing what all you could easily fit in a backyard 8×12 garden shed.
