10×12 Sheds — Prices, Styles & What Fits
The 10×12 is the size most people picture when they say “shed.” The extra two feet of width over an 8×12 is what makes it work: you get a real walkway down the middle instead of shuffling sideways past your own mower.
The default backyard shed — mower, tools, and seasonal storage with room to move
A 10×12 building is 120 square feet. 10×12 buildings start at $3,295 for the Board & Batten in Pine Board & Batten siding. Delivery, tax, options and site preparation are separate. We build 17 styles at this footprint, and every starting price is listed below.

What actually fits in 10×12
Fits comfortably
- A riding mower parked nose-in with a clear walkway beside it
- A wall of shelving on one long side and a workbench on the other
- A snow blower, a push mower, and a wheelbarrow without stacking them
- Ten to twelve bins on shelving plus long-handled tools hung on the wall
Where 10×12 gets tight
- Two riding mowers or a mower plus an ATV will fill it end to end
- A workshop is possible but a 12-foot wall limits you to one bench
- Once you add a loft, the 10-foot width is where headroom starts feeling low

10×12 is 120 sq ft — what that means for your permit
120 sq ft. This is the first size that crosses the 100 sq ft line some townships use, so a building permit becomes a real possibility depending on where you live — though the more common local threshold is 200 sq ft, which a 10×12 still clears. Philadelphia specifically exempts rear-yard structures under 120 sq ft from a zoning permit, which puts the 10×12 right on the boundary there. A zoning permit is still near-universal at this size.
Pennsylvania’s statewide code generally exempts detached accessory structures under 1,000 sq ft from a state building permit — but almost every municipality sets its own, lower threshold. Two hundred square feet is the most common trigger; some townships use 100. Harrisburg requires a building permit at 200 sq ft and up, Erie at 100, Philadelphia treats 120 sq ft as the line, and Pittsburgh wants a zoning certificate at any size. A zoning permit is close to universal even for small sheds, and electric, plumbing, or heat are separate trade permits no matter how big the building is.

Getting a 10×12 to your property
A 10×12 is delivered fully assembled and set in place. Delivery is $6 per mile from Parkesburg, PA — most deliveries in our area run $240 to $720. We deliver across PA, NJ, DE & MD — delivery is priced per mile from Parkesburg.
If the truck can’t reach the spot — narrow gate, back yard, steep grade — we build the same 10×12 on site instead. That adds 30% for a standard shed or garage, 20% for two-story and modular buildings.
A 10×12 needs a level pad. A gravel pad starts at $990; poured concrete starts at $4,230. We supply and install the wedge anchors that tie the building down, with length and spacing set by your township’s code. Gravel vs. concrete →
10×12 questions we get asked
How much does a 10x12 shed cost?
Our 10×12 buildings start at $3,295 for the Board & Batten in Pine Board & Batten siding. This is the base building price, not a delivered project total. Delivery, tax, options and site preparation are separate. Compare each model and its siding-specific starting price in the table on this page, then request a written quote for your property.
How many square feet is a 10x12 shed?
A 10×12 building is 120 square feet. That number matters because most townships set their permit threshold by square footage, not by what you call the building.
Do I need a permit for a 10x12 shed?
120 sq ft. This is the first size that crosses the 100 sq ft line some townships use, so a building permit becomes a real possibility depending on where you live — though the more common local threshold is 200 sq ft, which a 10×12 still clears. Philadelphia specifically exempts rear-yard structures under 120 sq ft from a zoning permit, which puts the 10×12 right on the boundary there. A zoning permit is still near-universal at this size.
Is a 10x12 building delivered assembled?
Yes. A 10×12 is delivered fully built on our truck and set on your prepared pad — usually in under an hour once we are on site. Delivery is $6 per mile from Parkesburg, PA. If your site cannot be reached by truck, we can build the same building on site instead.
Do you have a 10x12 shed in stock?
Yes — we currently have 1 10×12 building on the lot ready for delivery. In-stock buildings are shown on this page with real photos of the actual unit, not a catalog rendering.
