Precision, Flexibility, and Lasting Craftsmanship

The Planner's Paradise 12x16 ALL Pre-Cut Shed Kit is the ultimate solution for homeowners who value precision, flexibility, and premium craftsmanship. Featuring centered sliding doors on the gable side, this shed provides wide, space-saving access while maintaining a clean, balanced aesthetic.

The Planner's Paradise Series is designed to offer generous space for storage, workspace, or even cabin-style living. The upper loft, with 4'3" of headroom, adds valuable overhead storage or a cozy sleeping area, while the extra-tall 8'1" sidewalls on the main level create ample vertical space for larger equipment such as lawn tools, motorcycles, or riding mowers.

Built with Best Barns' SecureTruss system, TimberPrestige imported Eurowood, and precision pre-cut materials, this shed delivers the ideal combination of strength, convenience, and DIY satisfaction. Each component is engineered for straightforward assembly, helping you construct a structure that's both durable and distinctly your own.

The 5'5"W x 6'6"H centered sliding doors ensure smooth operation and ample clearance for equipment and supplies, while the steep 10/12 roof pitch enhances both drainage and vertical storage. A built-in 8'W x 4'3"H loft provides even more overhead space-perfect for seasonal items or long-term storage. Whether you're building a workshop, creative studio, or organized storage space, the Planner's Paradise adapts effortlessly to your needs and lifestyle. (previously sold as the Belmont shed kit, this is the same shed reworked for better quality and marketing).

Wood Pocket Doors Included!

This storage shed comes standard with a set of wood pocket doors. If swing out doors will get in your way, this is the shed solution for you! Pocket doors provide a smooth opening and keep the weather out when closed and out of sight when open! Doors are structured with a pre-primed wood siding installed over a solid 2x4 frame for superior strength. We use an unfinished white pine trim for exterior design over the siding. Door glides on a heavy duty aluminum track. A galvanized door sill and latch to lock the doors are both included. The pocket doors are shipped ready to install.

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

Optional Flooring Package

FortressFloor

Upgrade your Best Barns Planner's Paradise shed kit with the FortressFloor, a commercial-grade wood flooring system designed to enhance both durability and appearance. This optional floor kit provides a solid, level foundation while raising your building off the ground to protect against moisture and rot. Engineered for heavy-duty use, the kit includes 4x4 pressure-treated runners, 2x4 treated floor joists spaced 16" on center, 3/4" thick 4x8 plywood sheets, and all necessary hardware. Built with premium treated lumber, the FortressFloor is made to withstand demanding loads and harsh climates. Please note that materials are not pre-cut- simple straight cuts are required during assembly. The floor kit ships separately from your building and is delivered by a local lumber dealer, who will contact you to arrange a delivery time. Someone must be present to receive and sign for the delivery. This flooring upgrade is a smart, long-lasting investment in the stability and function of your new structure.

Optional Premium Roof Package

Roof finishing materials not included; Add roofing materials to your shed kit!

Our premium roof package includes everything you need to finish the roof on your new shed! Underlayment, drip edge, 25 year warranty shingles and even a ridge vent are all included. Choose 3 tab shingles in black, gray or brown colors to match your home or style. Getting our roof package delivered on site saves you time and work to buy and transport them locally. Plus, we make sure you get the exact amount you need without the hassle of calculating it on your own!

What's included in our Optional Roof Package?

• Premium 25 Year, 3-Tab Shingles - Available in Black, Gray, or Brown

Optional Item

Add optional windows to your shed or garage kit.

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 Item

Add Optional Sunburst Gable Window - Enhance your shed's look and light with the Sunburst Gable Window - Single Hung / Single Pane / Non-Insulated for simple style and function!
