12x24. And man! It was a tight fit getting between the garage and tree. Only a couple a couple of inches to spare!
Just need to do a bit of landscaping. And get this bad boy wired!
I'd fill my pool with gravel and concrete to fit that behind my house!
 
Is there roof framing in there Steve , or is it support truss @ 3 or 4 foot with purlins / furring strips ?
 
Trusses. Not sure of the spacing. And furring strips. Modified trusses at dormer.

I take that back. I was thinking about another shed I looked at. This has trusses 24" on center. No furring strips.

Score !! Damn that's well built , and offers some options for a finished ceiling .
I like the coffered gable ends , and the offset rise in the center . Ceilings make a space .
That's an awesome setup .

Thanks! What do you think I should use for the ceiling? Moisture resistance sheet rock. Or maybe 1/4"plywood glued and nailed?

No on the moisture board . It's not spec'd for ceilings .
1/2 inch regular drywall ( not lightweight ) will span 24" o.c. on ceilings if installed across the framing , without glue . However glueing never hurts . Also increases the structural value of the unit .
