Precision, Flexibility, and Lasting Craftsmanship

The Planner's Paradise Elite Series redefines premium outdoor living with a design that combines precision, flexibility, and architectural charm. Featuring dual entry with space-saving sliding doors on the gable side and a classic 9-lite walk-in door on the eave, this shed offers both convenience and refined appeal.

The Elite Package elevates the standard design with beautifully integrated dormers, matching sunburst windows, and decorative details that allow natural light to flow throughout the space. Two shuttered windows and a gable sunburst window enhance ventilation and give the structure a bright, inviting atmosphere- perfect for use as a workspace, studio, or organized storage solution.

Inside, the upper loft adds generous overhead storage or a cozy sleeping area, while the tall sidewalls create a spacious, open interior ideal for larger tools, equipment, or creative setups.

Built with Best Barns SecureTruss System, TimberPrestige imported Eurowood, and precision pre-cut materials, this shed kit ensures lasting strength, convenience, and professional-grade quality that DIY builders can take pride in. The exterior features LP SmartSide Siding, factory-primed and engineered for superior resistance against rot, pests, and decay- ready for painting and personal finishing touches.

Whether you're creating a workshop, backyard retreat, or flexible storage space, the Planner's Paradise Elite Series delivers unmatched craftsmanship and timeless style. (previously sold as the Arlington 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.
