12×24 Sheds & Garages — Prices, Styles & What Fits
A 12×24 is 288 square feet — the size where people stop calling it a shed. Twenty-four feet of length takes a full-size vehicle in the garage version, or splits cleanly into a workshop at one end and storage at the other.

What actually fits in 12×24
Fits comfortably
- A full-size truck or SUV in the garage version, with a workbench still at the far end
- A workshop half and a storage half, separated by a partition wall, with neither feeling cramped
- A tractor with a front loader plus attachments and fuel storage
- Long-material work — 24 feet handles full-length lumber and trim indoors
Where 12×24 gets tight
- A building permit is effectively a given at 288 sq ft
- Impervious coverage starts to matter on smaller lots — this footprint is big enough to affect your stormwater calculation
- Delivery of a 24-foot building needs a genuinely clear path; on-site construction is common at this size
Still not sure? Our shed size calculator works backwards from what you need to store.
12×24 is 288 sq ft — what that means for your permit
288 sq ft — well over the 200 sq ft threshold, so a building permit is required in essentially every township we serve. At this size two extra things usually come up: an impervious coverage worksheet, because 288 sq ft of roof is enough to move your lot coverage number, and a site plan showing setbacks. We can help with both, and if your township turns out to be a difficult one we can take the whole permit over for you. Sometimes there are extra costs, like the township’s own fee or sealed drawings, and we’ll tell you up front.
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 12×24 to your property
A 12×24 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 12×24 on site instead. That adds 30% for a standard shed or garage, 20% for two-story and modular buildings.
A 12×24 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 →
12×24 questions we get asked
How much does a 12x24 shed cost?
Our 12×24 buildings start at $6,070 for the Mini Barn in Wood LP SmartSide 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 12x24 shed?
A 12×24 building is 288 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 12x24 shed?
288 sq ft — well over the 200 sq ft threshold, so a building permit is required in essentially every township we serve. At this size two extra things usually come up: an impervious coverage worksheet, because 288 sq ft of roof is enough to move your lot coverage number, and a site plan showing setbacks.

Sometimes there are extra costs, like the township’s own fee or sealed drawings, and we’ll tell you up front.
Is a 12x24 building delivered assembled?
Yes. A 12×24 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 12x24 shed in stock?
Yes — we currently have 6 12×24 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.
