Pocket Doors Included!
This storage shed is equipped with standard wood pocket doors, making it an excellent choice if traditional swing-out doors would be inconvenient for your space. Pocket doors slide smoothly, staying protected from the elements when closed and neatly tucked away when open. The doors are built with pre-primed wood siding mounted on a durable 2x4 frame, ensuring exceptional strength and stability. For added style, the exterior features unfinished white pine trim over the siding. Each door glides effortlessly along a heavy-duty aluminum track, and both a galvanized door sill and latch for secure locking are included. The doors arrive pre-assembled and ready for installation, making setup quick and easy.

Door opening clearance: 5'-5" W x 6'-6" H

OPTIONAL WINDOW with VINYL SHUTTERS

Our shed windows are built with sturdy aluminum frames and come with decorative vinyl shutters on each side, which can be easily painted to match your style. Each window includes a lockable frame and an integrated screen, providing added security while keeping out insects and debris.

You can select from two available sizes: 18"x27" or 18"x36". Both options are compatible with all shed kits. For reference, the 27-inch height typically looks best on a 6'4" wall, while the 36-inch version complements an 8'1" wall though the final choice ultimately depends on your own taste and design preferences.

Optional Flooring Upgrade – FortressFloor
Take your Best Barns Planner’s Paradise shed to the next level with the FortressFloor, a premium, commercial-grade wood flooring system designed for maximum strength, longevity, and visual appeal. This optional flooring kit creates a stable, level base and elevates your structure off the ground to help prevent moisture damage and rot.
