Overhead door can be pricy. Double doors would be good if you sell the property and someone wants to put a mower in there.
Make sure you have power, something like 3/4 15A circuits. I’d also wire it for a mini-split. And then put in a mini-split. It’s a complete HVAC solution for that space.
Have you checked out the permitting process in your area? My shed is 8x10 because that’s the maximum I can build without pulling a permit. In your case, you’ll probably want to pull one anyhow if you’re going to run electrical power out to it.
For my current shed, I insisted on a window on each wall. Makes a huge difference for light.
You note a maximum ceiling height. Are you talking about the height to the top stringer? Most people leave the rafters open, so if the roof has any pitch, you should have plenty of vertical space in the center.
Not set in stone on any kind of door, but a double door that swings out would not be in the way of anything inside.
Yep, I’d run power to it for lights and stuff. At the moment, I’d rather not think about hvac, which would probably require sealing and insulating it, but it’s not completely off the table. I’d also like the power to be run power tools—if we do sell, it could be used as a work/woodshop.
Haven’t checked permitting yet, but it’s Georgia. There’s no telling.
Yeah, there’d be windows, too. I was also thinking about doing a lean-to style roof where the rafters and such would be wrapped with plexiglass rather than osb/plywood.
Yeah, the rafters would be left open. With the roof style I’m thinking, there’s be lots of vertical space in the “front” and less in the “rear”.
