Tips for Choosing a Size
Sizing a proper shed isn’t just about the floor dimensions. It’s helpful if you itemize everything you plan to store or do inside. Then, measure the area in your yard. You’ll want to account for the space needed for future belongings. Having that extra room is better than outgrowing your purchase.
Since a shed with a loft has a higher roofline, consider vertical space. The extra headroom allows for a fully usable lofted shed. With long-term or seasonal storage, you gain more usable space without increasing your footprint.

How much value does a loft add to a shed?
A loft can really boost the functionality and potential resale value of a shed. A shed with a loft maximizes storage without increasing its footprint. This has the net effect of doubling your space without doubling the cost. It’s a vertical solution that can make your lofted shed more appealing to buyers who value efficient storage.
What is the best way to use the loft space in a shed?
A loft is ideal for long-term or seasonal storage, keeping items out of the main floor space. You can use it for holiday decorations, camping gear, summer furniture cushions, or tools you use infrequently. Maximize your shed’s potential with a loft by installing sturdy shelving or other modular storage containers.
Do I need a permit for a lofted shed?
Permit requirements vary greatly by municipality and HOA. A shed with a loft is usually taller than a standard shed, so be sure to check local height limits. Always confirm local zoning laws. Limits on building height and square footage may determine the types of permits you need to obtain.
What size shed with a loft is recommended for a workshop?
Start with a 12×16 or 12×20 footprint. This is a comfortable size that can accommodate a workbench and tools. The loft area is dedicated to storing materials and supplies. The generous headroom of a loft helps keep the workspace below clutter-free and functional.
