Choosing a Material for Your 10x6 Shed

The material you select for your 10x6 storage shed depends on a number of factors. Local climate, intended use, and budget all play a role in determining what finish is best for your portable storage building. From siding to roofing, we offer three diverse material options for our 10x6 storage sheds that excel in durability and longevity.

• Wood Storage Sheds

  Although metal sheds tend to be a preferred option among our customers, wood storage sheds provide the benefit of a more traditional aesthetic. Those looking to convert their shed into a tiny home or habitable structure may find that our sheds constructed from yellow pine wood provide a more welcoming look.

  While our 10x6 wood storage sheds will require more maintenance, they’re also easier to match to the main structure of your home. This allows you to achieve a more uniform feel on your property.

• Metal Storage Sheds

  Our 10x6 metal storage sheds are by far the most popular material among Keen’s customers. These are our most durable and long-lasting structures, with a wind load rating of up to 160 mph.

  Typically constructed out of steel, our metal storage sheds feature thick, 29-gauge wall panels. As a result, they are impenetrable, weather-resistant, and immune to denting or scuffing. For enhanced security, a metal storage shed is the way to go.

• Aluminum Storage Sheds

  Though not as sturdy as steel, many homeowners choose a 10x6 aluminum storage shed for its affordability and convenience. They are ideal for casual use, such as storing tools or gardening equipment. The thinner wall gauge makes them more lightweight than steel, therefore allowing for better portability and heat dispersion.

  Some choose aluminum roofing due to its ability to reflect heat off the structure, keeping it cooler in the summer. However, be mindful not to place your structure underneath any trees, as falling debris and branches could dent this material.

10x6 Storage Shed Configurations

There are several configurations you can choose for your 10x6 storage shed. Get to know each type, and you will find the one best suited to your needs. The kind you choose will depend largely on how much storage space you require, how you plan to use your shed, and the overall aesthetic of your home.

1. Workshop Storage Shed

   Our basic 10x6 Workshop Storage Shed configuration is just the right layout for your workbench and power tools. With room for a double door and two windows, it is ideal for work, storage, or relaxation. Simple and budget-friendly, it’s a customer favorite.

   This gable-style workshop shed is renowned for its versatility, blending with all architectural styles for a structure that sits beautifully on your property. Great for first-time homeowners seeking a starter shed.

2. Classic 10x6 Workshop Shed

   Featuring barn-style doors and shuttered windows, the Classic 10x6 Workshop Shed is a slightly higher-end model than the standard one listed above. This shed type has a more old-fashioned aesthetic, with its A-frame roof giving the entire structure a cabin-like feel.

   While still economical, its enhanced appearance lends itself to more specialized applications like a painting studio, home office, and more. When you’re ready to take your structure beyond storage, this is the style you’ll want to choose.

3. Standard 10x6 Storage Shed

   The higher roof pitch on our Standard 10x6 Storage Shed allows for more overhead space on the interior of this structure. This makes it easier to equip with light fixtures and loft-style storage.

   Not only does it allow space for more windows, but it also comes with oversized door options to complement its advanced utility. This combination of extra space and natural light makes the Standard 10x6 Storage Shed an ideal pick for hobbyists and craftsmen.

4. Classic Gambrel 10x6 Backyard Shed

   Maximize your interior storage with our Classic Gambrel 10x6 Backyard Shed. This barn-style shed combines a modern aesthetic with old-world charm. Featuring plenty of overhead room for a loft, you can get more square footage with a smaller footprint.

   The dramatically-sloped roof on the Classic Gambrel 10x6 Backyard Shed makes it suitable for colder climates. Rain, snow, and debris slide easily off the structure, so that roof load is never a concern.

5. 10x6 Dutch Barn Portable Sheds

   One of our most spacious 10x6 shed configurations, the Dutch Barn creates plenty of room for overhead loft storage and wall shelving. Furthermore, you can also get more creative with the exterior configurations of this shed. Add an oversized double door, up to four large windows, and even a transom window for plenty of natural light.

   With proper permitting and utility hookups, you can even convert this structure into a barndominium!

6. Vinyl Sided 10x6 Shed

   The Vinyl Sided 10x6 Shed is a popular pick among homeowners. It is both economical and low-maintenance, making it a great starter shed for those on a budget. Many choose vinyl siding for its customizability, as it opens itself up to a large variety of color choices.

   Our vinyl siding is installed over an oriented strand board for increased durability. We also recommend adding pressure-treated floor joists to this structure for better weight load and heavier storage capabilities.

7. Custom 10x6 Storage Shed

   When it comes to designing a shed exactly to your needs, Keen’s Buildings has you covered. Our sales reps will work one-on-one with you to help you create the Custom 10x6 Storage Shed of your dreams.

   All of your configurations – from door and window placements to wall height – can be personalized to your liking. Choose from 16 different colors for your exterior, and let us help you choose the right siding for your purposes.

8. Metal 10x6 Storage Shed

   Whether you opt for steel or aluminum, it’s no secret that our Metal 10x6 Storage Sheds are some of the best in the business. This industry-standard material enhances the longevity, security, and durability of your portable storage building.

   Our metal storage sheds are ultra-customizable, wind load approved, expert-engineered, and built to last. Equipped to handle turbulent weather and keep out pests, these structures take quality construction to a whole new level.

Customization Options for 10x6 Storage Sheds

When you purchase a portable storage building from Keen’s Buildings, you are receiving an expertly constructed shed with an extensive list of customizability options. Our structures are designed to exceed your expectations and serve all of your needs.

Our 10x6 metal storage sheds come with:

• Your choice of 2x4 yellow pine wood or a c-channel steel frame
• 2x6 floor joists on 16” centers
• 4x6 pressure-treated skids
• ¾” pressure treated flooring
• Screws to attach floor on select models. Ask a sales rep if this option is available for you
• Variety of metal and wood siding options (including aluminum, T1-11 wood siding, hardi-plank, vinyl, and steel)

Learn more about our siding options:

• T1–11: Featuring a natural, wood-grained look, this siding option helps you achieve a more traditional aesthetic. Although metal and vinyl siding is more often used in contemporary projects, T1-11 wood siding is still a popular choice for a more natural finish.
• Hardi-Plank: Looking for an eco-friendly alternative to wood siding? Hardi-Plank helps you take your sustainable structure to the next level. Although it closely resembles wood, it is a composite material made of fiber cement.
• 29-Gauge Steel Panels: This is possibly the most secure and sturdy siding material of them all. Our thick, 29-gauge steel siding panels protect your portable storage building against dents, scuffs, scratches, and weathering. Wind load certified and extremely durable, this heavy-duty siding will last a lifetime.
• Vinyl: Our vinyl siding is installed over an oriented strand board (OSB) for superior strength and endurance. One of our more affordable yet also customizable options, it’s popular for being low-maintenance.

How to Layout Your 10x6 Storage Shed

With over 100 square feet of storage space, the possibilities can seem endless when it comes to figuring out how to organize your storage shed. Take advantage of all of your shed’s features, such as overhead lofted storage and wall shelving, to maximize the capacity of your portable storage building.

Some ideas for storage and organization include:

• Add tool hooks & hangers: Rakes, plows, shovels, and other long gardening tools can be stored on the wall for safe and easy accessibility. Simply mount a cantilever tool rack to one of the shed walls, and your more heavy-duty equipment will be kept secure and out of the way. Vinyl-coated utility hooks also provide a more compact way to hang up oversized items. With a weight capacity of up to 75 lbs on most tool hooks, you can easily rely on this wall-mounted organization solution.
• Install wall shelving: Your tool chest, larger power tools, and boxes will require shelving for storage. Rather than adding more load to your pressure-treated floors, opt for wall-mounted shelving. Floating shelves are a great way to leave some surface area, while also keeping your most important equipment at eye level. If you’re utilizing your 10x6 shed as a workshop, you’ll still have plenty of free room for a workbench.
• Effectively utilize surface area: Now, you can effectively utilize your 10x6 shed’s ample floor area for larger items like bicycles, dirt bikes, ATVs, lawnmowers, kayaks, and other paraphernalia. Need to maximize your square footage without sacrificing footprint? With a gambrel-style shed, you have plenty of room for overhead storage, so you can add a loft with ladder access for that less frequently used equipment you’d still like to hold onto.

10x6 Storage Shed Uses & Ideas

Our 10x6 storage sheds provide unparalleled versatility. On the one hand, they can serve as a storage space for all of your important tools, gardening equipment, and similar essentials. On the other, they can also be converted into an area for recreational use – whether it be a hobby farm, home office, man cave, she shed, or even just a private escape.

• Garden Tool Storage: Taking some inspiration from our aforementioned organization solutions, a 10x6 shed can easily be used as a storage space for your gardening tools such as shovels, plows, rakes, pots, fertilizer, and more. Utilize wall-mounted hooks and hangers as a place to keep this equipment. Set up a small workbench, and you can also use it as a space for potting or trimming your favorite plants.
• Chicken Coop: Protect your precious livestock from natural predators with a secure, insulated 10x6 shed. Convert your portable storage building into a chicken coop by covering the floors in hay, installing roosting bars and nesting boxes, and placing chicken wire over openings such as windows. You’ll even have enough room for a small incubator! Make sure to elevate your shed onto cement blocks so as to prevent pests and predators from entering underneath the floor and to enhance drainage/airflow.
• Animal Shelter: Whether you’re running a doggy day care, are an animal enthusiast, or love to foster pets, you need a shelter for your furry friends. Utilize wall shelving to hold smaller critters in tanks or cages, such as hamsters, guinea pigs, or lizards. Or, you can turn your entire 10x6 shed into a dog kennel and give Fido a home of his own, complete with a small dog run around the perimeter.
• Small Office Space: In an increasingly work-from-home world, having a dedicated home office is more important than ever. Create a sense of separation by setting up an office space in your backyard with a portable storage building. Review the permit requirements of your local housing authority and consult with a contractor to configure electrical hookups. From there, you’re ready to conduct business out of your backyard shed! It can also be used as inventory storage for your retail business.
• Hobby Space: By adding doors and windows to your 10x6 storage shed, the abundance of natural light suddenly makes it seem like the perfect spot for arts and crafts. Create an artist’s studio with easels, a potter’s wheel, and a sculpting station. You can even use the walls of your portable storage building to display your completed works. You can also set up a small desk and turn it into a writer’s retreat.
• …and much more!

10x6 Storage Shed Pricing

There are a number of factors that contribute to the cost of your 10x6 storage shed. The materials you select will be the largest contributor, with finishes like vinyl leaning on the more affordable side and steel leaning on the more expensive side. Roof type also plays a large role, with traditional, A-frame, and boxed eave roofs serving as a more midrange option. Meanwhile, gambrel-style roofs and vertical roof panels typically cost more.

Based on these factors and more, the general pricing for a 10x6 storage shed starts at $2195 for a standard unit. For an entirely custom structure, this price will differ.
