A 10×20 shed is a storage shed on the larger size offering a wide list of possibilities to utilize its space, both for optimization and creativity. The 10×20 shed sports a whopping 200 sq. ft. of usable spacing, allowing its owner to renovate or adapt it to almost any purpose.

Whether you’re looking for extra storage, a place to store your garden equipment, recreational vehicle parking, or just a personal getaway, a 10×20 shed has an open door waiting for you. Let’s check it out!

Three 10×20 Shed Types

So, we got our size nailed down, but what about the type of shed? There are several different ways sheds are built and it’s essential to select the one right for you. Let’s look at several different kinds so we can figure out which one would suite our needs best.

1. Wooden Sheds:

One of the most popular building styles, as their name implies, wooden sheds are built primarily of wood from the floor joists to the rafters. This classic construction method ensure that you have a solid sturdy structure that is both durable and beautiful.

2. Metal Sheds:

A slight misnomer, metal sheds are not entirely made of metal. These sheds also feature a wooden frame and then are covered in a high-quality metal siding. While offering a slightly different look style-wise, metal sheds have increased durability while also providing low maintenance and added resistance to fire, pests, and the weather.

3. Plastic Sheds:

The cheapest option in the lineup are plastic sheds. These quick and easy to assemble options, are a great choice for those looking for quick storage, will have low usage/traffic, or want the freedom to move the structure to a new location easily down the road.

10×20 Shed Uses & Ideas

Alright, we got the size and shed type locked in, now, what are we going to use it for? Maybe you already have that figured out. “I want a storage shed to store stuff.” Awesome! But there are so many more uses for a 10×20 shed besides storage.

Its larger size equips the 10×20 storage shed to fulfill a plethora of uses and purposes. Let’s take a look at some!

• Workshop: Add-on a workbench and create the perfect place to tinker, work on your vehicles, tackle the to-do list, and fix the things that break. It’s ready to put in the work if you are!
• Gardening Shed: Allow your green thumb to flourish as much as your plants with a space to cultivate your favorite outdoor hobby. Pot plants, nurture succulents, and store your tools in a 10×20 shed built for you. Add a workbench, shelves, or lighting to allow your productivity to “grow.”
• Home Office: Who said a “home office” had to be inside the home? Separate your work and home life with a 10×20 shed office right in your own backyard. Add electric, finished floors, and even air conditioning to DIY your way to everyone’s dream office. Best part? There are no corporate approvals needed!
• Gym: Picture this, never having to wait for a machine again. Sound glorious? Turn your 10×20 shed into a home gym. Build out your perfect work out and get the perfect body to match!
• Art Studio: Creativity needs an outlet and so do you! A 10×20 shed makes the perfect space to let the imagination flow free. From pottery to painting, music to sculptures, the limitations are only what you can dream!
• Playroom: Yep, sometimes we need quiet time. Build a space for your little ones to enjoy and retreat to when you need that time to yourself. Whether it’s a Playhouse or game room, give them countless hours of fun and memories to last a lifetime.
• Man Cave/She Shed: Whether it’s for him or her, turn a 10×20 shed into the room you always dreamed about. A sports center, private library, gaming room, or scrapbooking outpost, the only rule is, its “your” place!
• Storage: Ok, this one is obvious, but sometimes you just need a place to store the holiday decorations or the kids’ mementos. Declutter your living space and give those boxes their own home.

10×20 Shed Styles

Now that you got your size, type, and purpose figured out, the last thing to figure out is esthetics. The exterior of your shed has to match either your personal style and/or the environment you’re putting it in. Let’s take a look at our four main 10×20 shed styles below!

10×20 Shed Maintenance

Now that you have your new 10×20 shed, we want to ensure it stays in tip-top shape for it’s entire lifespan. Thankfully, that’s an easier task than you might think!

Remember to regularly check the roof and walls for damaged areas such as lost shingles, broken windows, etc. Be sure to keep the roof clear of branches, leaves, and other debris. This will prevent any buildup causing your shed to break down faster.

To keep your shed shiny and new, a new coat of paint or sealing can be applied after many years to make it look brand new once again! Regular cleaning with a light power washer or mild soap will also keep it pristine!

10×20 Shed Prices

Let’s talk price. The cost of your new 10×20 storage shed will depend on the style selected and add-ons you chose. On average, the price of a 10×20 shed will be between $5,000-$12,000.

Want a hint? Wooden sheds tend to be the sweet spot between durability and cost! Plastic sheds are very cheap, but often fall apart quite quickly. Metal sheds top the list on the price scale, but also bring long-lasting durability to the table.
