SIDING

Built using Best Barns’ SecureTruss framing system, high-quality TimberPrestige Eurowood, and accurately crafted pre-cut components, this shed ensures long-lasting strength and reliability

The shed shown in images includes optional upgrades such as decorative windows with shutters, a gable sunburst window, flooring, and a full roofing package all available for purchase separately

OPTIONAL WINDOWS with VINYL SHUTTERS

Our windows are made of durable aluminum and include decorative, paintable vinyl shutters for each side. They feature lockable frames and integrated screens to help keep both intruders and pests out.

Choose between two sizes: 18"x27" or 18"x36". Both window sizes are compatible with all shed kits. While the 27" high window is generally well-proportioned for a 6'-4" wall, and the 36" high window complements an 8'-1" wall, these recommendations are based on Best Barns' design opinion. Final selection should reflect your personal preference and desired aesthetic.

Optional Sunburst Gable Window
Enhance both the appearance and natural light of your shed with the Sunburst Gable Window. This single-hung, single-pane, non-insulated window offers a simple yet stylish design, adding charm while letting in daylight for improved visibility and ambiance.
