10×10 Craftsman Shed at Lillooet Lake, BC

About this 10×10 Craftsman shed

This 10′ x 10′ Craftsman shed was built in a workshop and then delivered on a trailer to the shore of Lillooet Lake, BC. It has a gable roof with dark metal roofing, vertical siding painted blue, dark brown trim and a pair of white double doors, each with a small window. A short wood ramp leads up to the doors from the gravel pad.

The look of a Craftsman shed

A Craftsman shed has a simple peaked roof, a wide front with the doors in the gable end, and trim that frames the walls. The blue siding and white doors make this one easy to spot against the forest and mountains. Learn more about the style on the Craftsman Sheds page, or see another 10×10 Craftsman shed in Kitsilano.

In the workshop and on the road

Here the shed is finished on the outside but the door opening is still empty. Then it is loaded on a trailer and towed to the site.

At Lillooet Lake

The finished shed sits on a gravel pad next to a rock retaining wall, with forest and mountains behind it. The lake is just beyond the site.

Inside the shed

Inside, the walls are framed and covered with sheathing, and the two door windows let daylight in. The gable framing is open above the doors.

What to plan before building a Craftsman shed

• Base: this shed sits on a gravel pad. Level, well-drained gravel keeps the floor dry.
• Doors: double doors make it easy to move in large items. Plan room to swing them open.
• Entry: a short wood ramp helps with wheelbarrows, mowers and carts.
• Delivery: a shed built in a workshop must be moved by trailer. Check the road and the path to the pad first.
• Rules: size limits, permits and setbacks depend on where you build. Check the shed rules by city and the Maximum Shed Size Without a Permit guide first.
