Designing a Home Gym: Tom’s Studio Plan

To start, Tom and our team customized the floor system to stand strong under all the weights and exercise equipment that will be inside the shed. His 10x12 Premier PRO Studio features upgraded 16” on center floor joist spacing, an upgrade from our standard (and already strong) 24” joist spacing. We added even more strength with an extra layer of floor sheathing.

In addition to all the strengthening components, Tom’s home gym design features a few extra options that add style to his future gym. He added a 3x3 window and 12”x12” vents. Not only do these three upgrades add style, but they also add necessary air flow and light inside the shed. Tom also chose vapor barrier house wrap to get his shed ready for the finishing touches that he plans to add after Tuff Shed finishes installing the building, like insulation and drywall.

How to Get Started:

Tom’s future home gym is a true testament to the customization and options available for our buildings. No matter how you choose to put your future shed, studio, or garage to work, a few extra options and upgrades can make a big difference. We recommend a trip to your local Tuff Shed showroom to chat with our sales and design experts about your building plans. We’re sure they’ll get you set with a great building design that fits your needs and fits your backyard.
