8 x 12 ft Utility Shelter

Protect tools, lawn equipment, firewood and seasonal gear with IPATIO's utility shelters. Sizes run from the 4 x 4 x 6 ft Scotts garden shed and the 5 x 8 ft Gazebo Penguin utility shelter through 6 x 6, 6 x 10, 6 x 12, 8 x 8, 10 x 10, 10 x 15 and 12 x 12 ft storage sheds, ShelterCoat storage garages from 8 x 8 to 10 x 12 and 8 x 16 ft, the 12 x 20 ft Equine Storage shelter, the Gazebo Penguin firewood log shelter, the 8 x 10 x 5 ft round portable shelter and the 10 and 12 ft Arrow metal canopies, up to run-in shelters of 22 x 24 ft — peak and round-top styles from ShelterLogic, Scotts, Arrow and Gazebo Penguin, with no building permit and no permanent foundation.

Heavy-duty polyethylene covers with UV treatment resist sun damage, rain, and snow, while powder-coated steel tube frames provide structural rigidity in wind and under snow loads. On the fabric shelters, that cover-over-steel design is also what lets you relocate the shelter as needs change; the Arrow metal canopies carry a galvanized steel roof on a powder-coated steel frame instead. Assembly requires no special tools either way.

Colours on this page are grey Shed-in-a-Box sheds, green Scotts sheds and run-in shelters, grey or green ShelterCoat garages, a white Gazebo Penguin utility shelter, a white or green log shelter, and Arrow metal canopies in charcoal or eggshell — open-sided, with a galvanized steel roof rated to 100 mph wind and 35 psf snow. Ideal for backyards, farms, cottages, and construction sites. Free shipping on most orders over $88*.

Utility shelter FAQ

What is the difference between a fabric storage shed and the Arrow metal canopy?

The Shed-in-a-Box and Scotts sheds close on all four sides: a steel frame under a fitted cover, with a double-zippered door at the front and a solid back panel. The Arrow Metal Canopy is open-sided — a galvanized steel roof on a powder-coated steel frame, rated to 100 mph wind and 35 psf snow — for an ATV, motorcycle, bike or grill you want covered rather than shut away.

Do these shelters include a floor, and do they have to be anchored?

None of them includes a floor; they stand on the ground you prepare, so level, well-drained ground or a gravel pad is worth the effort. Anchors are in the box: four 15 in. auger anchors with the Shed-in-a-Box sheds, and the anchor set with the Arrow Metal Canopy. No permanent foundation is needed, which is also why no building permit is usually required.

What sizes are available, and can a utility shelter replace a garage?

Sizes run from the 4 x 4 x 6 ft Scotts garden shed and the 5 x 8 ft Gazebo Penguin utility shelter through 6 x 6, 6 x 10, 6 x 12, 8 x 8, 10 x 10, 10 x 15 and 12 x 12 ft storage sheds, plus the 8 x 10 x 5 ft round portable shelter, the 10 and 12 ft Arrow metal canopies and run-in shelters from 12 x 20 to 22 x 24 ft. They are relocatable, year-round storage rather than a garage: fabric over a steel frame, no floor and no foundation, which is what keeps them affordable and lets you move them when needs change.
