Precision, Style, and Lasting Craftsmanship

The Planner's Paradise 12x16 ALL Pre-Cut Shed Kit w/ Transom Doors (PPARTD16) is a perfect blend of refined design, structural integrity, and functional flexibility. Designed for homeowners who value both elegance and performance, this shed provides a sophisticated look with centered transom doors on the gable side- offering wide access and a bright, inviting entrance enhanced by built-in transom windows.

The Planner's Paradise Series combines efficiency and aesthetic appeal, ideal for use as a workshop, studio, storage building, or cozy retreat. Its 10/12 roof pitch not only boosts vertical space but also improves drainage, while the spacious loft (8'W x 4'3"H) adds valuable overhead storage for seasonal items or long-term organization. Extra-tall 8'1" sidewalls create an open, comfortable interior that accommodates larger tools, garden equipment, or even small vehicles.

Built with Best Barns SecureTruss System, TimberPrestige imported Eurowood, and precision pre-cut materials, this shed kit delivers superior strength, easy DIY assembly, and professional-grade durability. Every component is carefully engineered for accurate fit and lasting performance.

The 6'1"W transom double doors, centered on the gable side, offer both style and functionality- allowing natural light to enter while providing ample clearance for larger items. The structure's LP SmartSide Siding adds protection and longevity, factory-primed and ready for painting to match your personal aesthetic.

Whether you're creating a personal workspace, backyard getaway, or organized storage solution, the Planner's Paradise 12x16 Shed Kit provides unmatched flexibility, quality, and timeless appeal.

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.

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.
