Best Barns Handcrafted Homestead 12x16 Wood Barn Kit w/ Centered Door on Gable & Loft (HHOMDG16CLF)

The Best Barns Handcrafted Homestead 12×16 is built for those who want more than just a storage shed it’s for the barn enthusiast who values space, style, and craftsmanship. Its classic gambrel roof and 7′ side walls create a roomy interior with a soaring 10′10″ peak, plus a 4′ split-loft area for extra storage. Functional loft doors make accessing the upper level a breeze, while the 6′×6′4″ barn doors provide easy entry for larger items.

This DIY-friendly kit delivers the essential structural framework with premium TimberPrestige Eurowood, LP SmartSide siding (primed for paint), and our SecureTruss system for lasting durability. From there, you have the freedom to customize choose your own windows, doors, roofing, and flooring (including our FortressFloor upgrade) to match your style and budget. With precision pre-cut materials for faster assembly and a flexible design that puts you in control, the Homestead 12×16 combines quality, functionality, and creative freedom in one impressive package. (Previously sold as the Millcreek shed kit, this is the same shed reworked for better quality and marketing)

Note: The barn door for this model is positioned in the center of the gable wall by default.
If you prefer the barn door to be offset to the left or right of the gable wall, please use model number HHOMDG16OLF instead

Optional Flooring Upgrade – FortressFloor
Take your Best Barns Planner’s Paradise shed to the next level with the FortressFloor, a premium, commercial-grade wood flooring system designed for maximum strength, longevity, and visual appeal. This optional flooring kit creates a stable, level base and elevates your structure off the ground to help prevent moisture damage and rot.

Built for heavy-duty performance, the kit includes:

• 4×4 pressure-treated runners
• All required hardware for installation
  
• 2×4 treated floor joists, spaced 16" on center
  
• 3/4" thick 4×8 plywood panels

Crafted from high-quality treated lumber, the FortressFloor is engineered to handle tough conditions and substantial weight loads, making it ideal for long-term use in any climate.

Please note: Materials are not pre-cut, but only straight cuts are needed for assembly. The flooring kit ships separately from the shed and will be delivered by a local lumber supplier, who will contact you to set up a delivery appointment. Someone must be present to receive and sign for the shipment. This upgrade is a smart, durable investment that enhances the stability and functionality of your new shed.

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.

**OPTIONAL ITEM
Decorative octagonal gable windows illuminate interiors, beautify exteriors.

**Optional Door Entry
You can add an optional side entry door for convenient access! Select either a six-panel or nine-window steel door, both of which come with an aluminum threshold and lock set. When ordering, please specify which side you’d like the hinges on so we can provide the correct door. The door swings inward into the storage building.
