Best Barns Maker's Loft 16x32 XL Garage Kit w/ Full Second Floor + Stairs (MLOFND32)

The Maker’s Loft is a modern two-story garage kit that blends style, strength, and flexibility for any backyard. Built with a 16" on-center 2x6 truss system, it provides exceptional structural integrity and versatile space for a variety of uses. The first floor features a single-car garage with an 8' W x 6'6" H door opening (garage door not included), suitable for most small SUVs and trucks. On the opposite side, the space can be customized as a workshop, home office, storage area, or to house recreational vehicles such as motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, small tractors, or riding lawn mowers.

A full second-story loft with included staircase adds extra storage or the option to convert into a livable area. The first floor remains largely open, with the staircase at the rear to maximize layout flexibility. Both levels provide generous headroom 7.5' on the first floor and over 7'1" in the loft center with optional insulation for year-round use. With its durable construction, open design, and endless customization options, the Maker’s Loft is the ideal choice for homeowners looking to create a functional, stylish, and adaptable backyard structure. (previously sold as the West Virginia shed kit, this is the same shed reworked for better quality and marketing)

SIDING

OPTIONAL SIDE DOOR ENTRY

You can add an optional side entry door for convenient access! Select either a six-panel or nine-window steel door, both of which come with an aluminum threshold and lock set. When ordering, please specify which side you’d like the hinges on so we can provide the correct door. The door swings inward into the storage building.

What's the difference between our Best Barns brand marked 'ALL Pre-Cut' and the regular Best Barns brand, they look similar? The Best Barns ALL Pre-Cut sheds and regular Best Barns sheds are both made by Reynolds Building Systems at their state of the art factory in Northwest Pennsylvania. The regular Best Barns brand, not marked ALL Pre-Cut, offers you added savings for just an extra 2 or 3 hours of installation time. With a regular Best Barn you will get two deliveries; one will be your shed kit and a second delivery will be the siding, roof sheathing and loft (if included in the kit) which will be delivered separately from your local home center. Home Depot will be the home center we use if one is in your area. The customer will then follow the simple instructions to make just straight cuts to prepare these items. The regular Best Barn shed makes it inexpensive and easy!

Please note: The garage door is not included in this shed and must be purchased locally by owner
