Hello, I'm new here.
I've been taking things apart for about 45 of my 49 years and been putting them back together for maybe 35 years, professionally for 30 years, sometimes they work afterwards.
I live in the upstate of South Carolina and work for a polymer extrusion company.
I do what work I can on my vehicles and house and contents and spend any spare dollars on guns, ammo and reloading and books.
Does anyone here have one of the factory built sheds that are so common and delivered by flatbed truck. Mine is 12 x 28 with the loft roof like the one in the picture. While I have looked at many of the garages here on the forum, I haven't seen any of these and am wondering if anyone would share pictures of the inside of theirs. How you have it organized, how it is wired and lit, have you converted the barn doors to a regular entry door.
I have already gotten many ideas from here and looking forward to many more.

Over the summer I bought a 10x16 with the gambrel roof similar to yours. I just use it to keep the yard implements in though. It has a loft on each end for storage. I ordered it with no windows and a double-door on the narrow end to drive the tractor in and out.

The only wiring I have in it is a light switch and a single 4ft fluorescent light. Eventually I am going to move my compressor out there (the shed sits right behind my garage). I have the air plumbing ran, but not the 220v.

I'm at work and I don't really have any good pictures of it.

Here is one at the dealer, waiting for installation. 10 ft X 20 ft, 8 ft side walls, 8 ft wide X 7 ft ht rollup door, roughed-in for a 3 ft X 6 ft 8 in standard door; already-installed are two windows, gable vents. Four 110 V duplex outlets, two ceramic Edison base ceiling fixtures, which will be replaced by 4 ft fixtures. Entrance will get a light fixture, and to-be-fitted perimeter security lighting. It's going on a slab, so it has no floor.

Much-more work to be completed by owner. Branch electrical panel, insulation, and eventually a mini-split AC.

There are other threads about shops set up in this type of shed. But many of the pictures went away after the photo bucket hostage holding event.

You may have to alter your search terms here on GJ or google your search and GJ thread show up there fsirly often.

We had a polebarn house built last year with a 40'X48' attached garage but we still bought a 10'X12' barn with loft from our local dealer to store the mower, rakes, shovels and stuff.

Got a Tuff Shed years ago with the high barn roof. Made them install custom size roll up door just smaller than one car garage door, great for Harleys. Mounted on concrete pad with drive in ramp. Incorporated into back yard fence off garage driveway. I made loft storage in the high roof. Great setup.
