Use at least 2 X 6 rafters and put doors on one gable end. That way you can store canoes, duckboats, portable fish houses, sleds, rat trapping stakes, etc. up there. A lot of good space up on top as long as you can access it. Good luck. Jump Trap

However big it is, it won't be big enough. And no matter how many lights you have, you will want some more. I don't have any windows in mine, so no snooper can peep in. Discourages theives. On the subject of theives, fix the place so it can be locked good. Heat is a must. Running water is an almost must. I have a radio, TV, refrigerator, freezer, gas stove, chair, you know, important stuff! I use the same building for making stuff and reloading. Bait and lure making, making wine etc.

Mine is about right, I don't know the exact size but I would say its 12'x20'. Work bench, area for hanging stretchers, area for dried furs, carcasses go out the door, area for the beam, spot for skinning, ect... Love it, I just wish it was warmer.

SilverFox, my work room is 12 X 20. Not too big to heat good. But plenty of room to work. There are sheds on three sides of the building, making it roughly 30 X 50. The sheds are full of junk. Wish it was bigger.

I'm building a new shed myself, 16x20 2 story. (75% scrounged material.)It doesn't cost much more to raise the sides 3-4 ft, and use heavier stringers as floor joist's. Add a few sheets of plywood and you're good to go. A door on a gable end makes it easier to put big stuff in. Really helps clean clutter out of the basement.

First, If I were to build a "fur shed," it would not just be a fur shed. It would have to be my workroom, storage for all outdoor activities from camping and kayaking to trapping, hunting, fishing, creating lures, butchering, skinning, building "guy stuff" like traps, decoys,... etc... So, what do I want? Well I'd want a walk in freezer for meat. This could be for both game and store bought sides of beef or pigs..etc, so it should be close to the entrance so the wife can come in and get some steaks if she wants, without walking past any "nasty stuff" like dead skunks or what have you... It does not have to be huge, but should be able to hold up to 4 deer at a time. Then outside of that, a butchering area with gambrels, butcher block, etc... A wench to lift dead deer easily alone if needed... (can be a pulley system, not electronic)... Heat and air area a must... Tool storage and a workbench (I need to have a work in process bench too... keeping the actual workbench free for whatever I am doing right now...) Numerous vices and a grinder or two.... Tools should be close but NOT directly above or under the workbench. Parts storage, and materials can be stored beneath the workbench... in wood boxes (so I'll need some of them) or plastic bins depending on what they are... A loft area for storage of larger things like kayak, some lumber, etc... Big equipment would include but not be limited to table saw, band saw, drill press welder. I would like to have an insulated "stinky room" in the back... This would be the place to extract skunk essence or store beaver castor... etc.... it should be in the back away from the rest of the stuff, have a great vent fan and that fan needs to face AWAY from the house or anyone else's home nearby... In this room, shelves and hooks and bottles and a sink (plastic tub is fine, just running water)... I would like to be able to pull a truck in there as well, to unload a deer or fur, and to be able to work on a car or truck if it's raining as well, without it being in the cramped garage so, a "barn door" at one end is a must... Electrical outlets all over the place, and multiple "shop lights" or spotlights on a stick as i call them... as well as florescents hanging from the rafters. I am sure there is more i have forgotten to include for now...
