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 sheds start at $3,295 in LP SmartSide siding, delivered fully assembled across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland from our lot in Parkesburg, PA. 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 $5 per mile from Parkesburg, PA — most deliveries in our area run $200 to $600. 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 in LP SmartSide siding, delivered fully assembled across PA, NJ, DE & MD from our Parkesburg, PA lot. Price depends on the style you choose and the siding — vinyl runs roughly 10–25% higher than LP SmartSide. Every 10×12 model and its starting price is listed on this page.
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 $5 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 2 10×12 buildings 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.
