If opening a small coffee shop has been your dream, a 12×20 shed could be a great place to start. A 12×20 shed would provide you with ample room to store supplies like coffee syrups, coffee beans, paperware, and other similar items, and you can customize a shed in multiple ways to make it suitable as a small coffee shop. Use additional shelving for storage, or request an open window area where customers can order their drinks.

Home Theater
Are you the kind of person who loves going to the movies? Try creating your own theatre at home by utilizing a 12×20 shed. Consider soundproofing your shed and adding curtains or fewer windows for a more immersive experience and better lighting. Set up your screen and add electrical wiring for the sound system and the projector or screen. Use some additional shelving or counter space to store snacks and other equipment. Don’t forget to add some personal touches to make it your very own dream home theater.
Home Office
If you do a lot of work from home, then it would be a good idea to consider creating your own private home office. A 12×20 shed would be a great shed option for a home office since it has the ample size you may be looking for. Create a space to relax and study by adding a comfortable sofa or chair, and adding a desk and an office chair for a productive workspace. Add some decor or an area rug to make your space cozier and more conducive to a study environment.

Are you a green thumb type of person? Consider turning a 12×20 shed into a greenhouse. Find the perfect location for your greenhouse where your plants can get ample sunlight throughout the day. Customize your shed to make sure it has the necessary ventilation and airflow to keep your plants healthy. Add shelving and benches to hold your plants and tools, and consider adding hooks onto the wall for additional storage space. Don’t forget to keep some other factors in mind like a water source, plastic or panels, and climate control.

Because the price of a 12×20 shed can vary greatly based on the level of customization done and the siding choices and such, it is hard to give a very specific price for a shed this size. Generally, we can assume that a 12×20 shed with little customization will cost anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000, and one that is more customized would be anywhere from $8,000 to $15,000.
12×20 Shed Siding Options
Many shed companies offer a variety of shed siding options with various colors to match your surrounding property. Some popular shed siding options include the following.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is a popular choice for shed exteriors due to its cost-effectiveness and minimal upkeep requirements. It is durable and able to withstand harsh weather conditions and pests making it a practical option. Although occasional washing is recommended to maintain its appearance, it is essential to be aware that vinyl shed siding may fade and discolor over time. Vinyl sheds may also be limited in their insulation properties.
Wood Siding
Wood siding is an attractive and visually pleasing choice for 12×20 sheds, providing a timeless and customizable look with various wood species. With proper care, wood siding can last for many years. However, it’s important to keep a few things in mind. Regular maintenance, such as sealing and staining, is necessary to maintain its appearance and protect it from weather damage. Wood siding does not offer the same level of pest resistance as other shed options, and may be prone to termites and similar insects.
Metal Siding
When choosing siding for 12×20 sheds, metal siding is a fantastic option to consider. It boasts remarkable durability and comes in various colors that can blend well with your property’s surroundings. Metal siding is renowned for its resistance to rot, pests, and fire, making it a dependable and popular choice for shed exteriors. Additionally, it offers excellent weather resistance and is relatively easy to install. Unfortunately, it is good to note that metal siding can be prone to warping under extreme conditions and may dent or scratch easier than some other shed options.
LP Smartside Siding
LP SmartSide siding is a popular and innovative engineered wood siding created to combat rot and decay effectively. With outstanding durability, it can endure moisture and impacts with relative ease. One notable perk of LP SmartSide is its warranty, which safeguards against rot and other damages. This makes it a dependable and budget-friendly choice for 12×20 sheds. Nevertheless, ensure consistent upkeep to ensure its longevity over the years.
