Need More Open Storage Space? Why an Extra-Wide Shed Might Be the Answer.
Do you need a large, extra-wide open space for storage, a garage, or a hobby? Are you starting to run out of space in your current shed, garage, or outdoor storage area? If you’re nodding your head, it might be time to look at something with more space to work with. The Mackinaw is Westwood Sheds’ extra-wide shed model, designed for people who need more width than a standard setup offers.
Some projects simply need more room to spread out. Keep reading to learn how a larger footprint can have a huge impact on how you use your space.
What is the Mackinaw Shed?
The Mackinaw shed is our extra-wide model, built for when you need more room than a standard shed can provide. It gives you a lot more floor space to work with, all while keeping that clean, neat look that fits right in with your backyard.
Built in two sections and joined on-site, it’s solid and spacious without losing its neat structure or style. It’s a great, flexible space that lets you set things up the way you want, instead of having to cram everything into a tight corner.
What is the Mackinaw shed best for?
Because it’s so much wider than a normal shed, the Mackinaw really opens up what you can do with your backyard.
Here are a few ways our customers have loved this shed:
- Dedicated workshop for tools and DIY projects
- Garage storage for ride-on mowers, motorcycles, or larger outdoor gear
- Hobby or craft studio with plenty of room to work and spread out supplies
- Game room with pool table for socializing with friends and family
- His & Hers setup to split the space for two different uses
The Mackinaw is engineered in two sections and joined on-site.
The Mackinaw’s standout features
This shed is brimming with practical details that make it work really well as a large outdoor space. Here are some of the key features that come with it.
1 - Multiple sizes available
The Mackinaw is designed to be as flexible as you need it to be. Whether you’re looking for a compact workshop or a much larger footprint for larger items, we have options to suit the scale of your project. Available sizes include: 20' x 20', 20' x 24', 24' x 20', 24' x 24'
2 - Choice of 4 siding options
Whether you want it to match your home’s exterior or complement your backyard aesthetic, these choices guarantee your new building is a proper part of your backyard.
- Vinyl: High-quality, woodgrain-textured vinyl that’s built to last. It comes in over 10 UV-resistant colors (with custom options available) and includes a double-lifetime manufacturer’s warranty.
- SmartLap: A classic horizontal lap siding made from durable engineered wood. You can choose from over 20 paint or urethane colors and it’s backed by a 50-year warranty.
- SmartSide: This features high-quality LP SmartSide wood siding for a clean, sturdy look. It’s available in over 20 paint and urethane colors and also comes with a 50-year warranty.
- Board & Batten: For a more traditional, vertical aesthetic, this uses engineered wood siding and battens. It’s available in over 20 paint or urethane colors and includes a 50-year warranty.
Note: All of our options include radiant barrier sheathing to help keep your space comfortable year-round.
3 - Roofing styles to suit your aesthetic
The Mackinaw can be finished with either 30-year architectural shingles or a 40-year metal roof. Both are designed to complement the building's wider, residential style, so the choice depends on the look you prefer – and the performance you need!
- Architectural shingles: A classic choice that offers a traditional, familiar look. They blend seamlessly with almost any home style or neighborhood setting.
- Metal roofing: A more modern, clean-lined option. This provides a sharper, more contemporary finish while offering exceptional long-term durability.
Note: Both options are available in a wide variety of colors, including popular shades like Charcoal, Weathered Wood, and Forest Green, among many others.
4 -Extra headroom and protection
With 7' sidewalls and generous 9' overhangs, you have lots of open space. The extra height gives you more room to work, while the deeper overhangs protect the structure from the elements and give it a polished, home-like finish.
5 - Flexible double-door placement
Whether you want the entrance on the end or the side, we can set it up to fit your yard’s layout. This makes it easy to organize your space, especially if you’re planning to split it into two zones or use one side as a workshop and the other as storage.
Plus, because we use wide double doors, moving your equipment in and out is always quick and hassle-free.
6 - Bright and airy design
Every model comes standard with four windows and shutters. They’re great for getting some natural light and fresh air into your space, while the shutters give the exterior a clean, finished look that fits right in with your home.
Make the Mackinaw your own with popular custom upgrades
One of the best things about The Mackinaw is that it isn’t a one-size-fits-all build. You might want a straightforward storage space, or something more like a fully functional workshop. Either way, there are plenty of ways to customize your setup:
- Add a garage door for easy drive-in access and convenient storage for larger equipment.
- Include our handyman package for a practical upgrade tailored to everyday workshop projects.
- Upgrade to heavy-duty flooring to provide extra strength for heavy tools and demanding use.
- Install an electrical package to power your lighting and tools, or to turn the space into a productive studio.
- Add extra windows and doors to improve the interior layout, natural light, and ventilation.
- Choose insulated windows for better comfort and temperature control throughout the year.
- Opt for custom color matching to make sure your new building perfectly complements your home and garden.
If you’re unsure what you need, it’s usually something worth talking through with a sales rep – most setups end up being tweaked slightly once you put your planning hat on.
