What's on the Inside

OPTIONAL WINDOWS
Our windows are made of durable aluminum and include decorative, paintable vinyl shutters for each side. They feature lockable frames and integrated screens to help keep both intruders and pests out.

Choose between two sizes: 18"x27" or 18"x36". Both window sizes are compatible with all shed kits. While the 27" high window is generally well-proportioned for a 6'-4" wall, and the 36" high window complements an 8'-1" wall, these recommendations are based on Best Barns' design opinion. Final selection should reflect your personal preference and desired aesthetic.
