A SmartSide Dutch Barn storage shed refers to an outdoor storage structure constructed using LP SmartSide siding and designed in the shape of a Dutch Barn. The term “Dutch Barn” is used to describe a style of barn architecture characterized by a distinctive gambrel roof, with two slopes on each side. This design allows for more interior space and provides a unique aesthetic.
The roof pitch for the Dutch Barn gives you the headroom space that you need to add a loft to your model, ultimately adding an additional 4′ of storage space!
