Lakewood 12×18 Storage Kit

$8,995.00

Large storage shed or workshop

The Lakewood 12ft. x 18ft. wood storage kit was designed for the homeowner who needs a large amount of storage or perhaps space for a workshop. Building models from Sentry Buildings allow the homeowner to customize the kit to suit their requirements. The Lakewood model includes 6 windows to be installed in the dormers and gables. Windows and doors are not included for the first floor. Sentry Buildings DIY kits do not pre-determine for the homeowner what type of windows and doors will be installed. The homeowner will purchase these items as appropriate for the intended use of the building.

Images, shown below, from our factory model show just one way of configuring the first floor. You may add the number and type of entries and windows and install in the locations you wish. Access to the loft area offers more opportunity for the homeowner to build as desired. A ladder or spiral staircase are good choices but feel free to design your own access to the loft.

Featuring a large loft with 6ft.-1in. headroom the Lakewood gives you plenty of room for additional storage or sleeping loft. The 12ft. x 10ft. loft is has 2×6 floor joists spaced 16in. O.C. and covered with 5/8in. plywood. Add railings as appropriate for your needs. Insulated windows are included for the loft area only and are located in both dormers and each gable end. The 2×6 truss system makes it possible to insulate the shed properly if you require a controlled climate.

Second floor windows included. First floor windows and door purchased by homeowner separately. Shingles not included. Paint by homeowner. Deluxe floor sold optionally.

An optional metal roof kit is available here.
