January 6, 2017 | building of the month

A stunning red TB-700 adorns this Idaho backyard for everyone to enjoy.
This 12×16 custom storage barn in Idaho was designed to fit a unique space and maximize storage for sporting gear, tools, and more—without sacrificing style.
A Stylish Storage Solution in Idaho
Michelle and Brad from Idaho needed a place to store their sporting equipment, tools, and outdoor entertainment gear—but they didn’t want to sacrifice style for storage. With a narrow spot available along their fence line, they turned to the Tuff Shed team at their local Home Depot for expert guidance.

A Perfect Fit with Custom Features
The result was a 12×16 TB-700 storage barn that fit their yard—and their needs—perfectly. Designed specifically for their unique space, the barn fills out the fence line and adds charm to the backyard.
Key features include:
Transom windows for natural light
A double door upgrade for easy access
Two 12”x12” gable vents for airflow
A 2×2 side window for added brightness
The real eye-catcher? A custom cupola and weather vane that Michelle sourced online, giving the barn a classic, elevated look.


Interior Upgrades That Maximize Space
Michelle and Brad didn’t stop at the exterior. They added thoughtful interior upgrades to make their new barn even more efficient. The interior was painted white for a clean, cohesive look, and a loft provides plenty of space for storing seasonal items.
To make use of every inch, they installed a ceiling-mounted pulley system to hang their bicycles—keeping the floor space open and organized.
Custom Storage, Designed for Real Life
With a little creativity and the help of the Tuff Shed team, Michelle and Brad built a storage barn that’s functional, attractive, and fits seamlessly into their outdoor space. It’s a great example of how a custom shed can elevate both your storage game and your backyard style.
