12×16 Garden Shed in Tabor Iowa

Shed Project by Creative Backyards

The Shaws in Tabor, Iowa needed backyard storage that could pull its weight without looking out of place. Their 12×16 garden shed does exactly that.

This portable shed in Iowa was built by Mid-America Structures and finished in Khaki LP SmartSide siding and trim with a Burnished Slate metal roof. It’s a grounded, natural combination that settles into a backyard without demanding attention. Black windows and double doors with transoms sharpen the exterior and bring in more light than a standard door setup allows. The aluminum ramp kit makes moving equipment and larger items in and out a non-issue on any given day.

The Shaws trusted us with their outdoor space, and that’s not something we gloss over. Every project like this one is a privilege.
