Wood Sheds Optimal Storage And Life Space
Wood sheds are a great storage space option for any yard. These structures are built to last and allow for some creative uses as well. Here is a great starter guide for you as you look at purchasing a new wood shed!
What Are Common Wood Shed Sizes?
Here are five of the most common wood shed sizes you can purchase for your space!
- 8×12 – The 8×12 shed gives you a space that is a little less than 96 sq ft. You can have ample storage space without going too big or breaking the bank. This is the most common-sized small shed on the market.
- 10×12 – This shed is the most popular size of all sheds. With over 100 sq ft of space, there is a vast quantity of possibilities with this shed. These wood sheds have been made into workout areas, entertainment rooms, pool houses, etc.
- 10×16 – When you get to a shed of this size, you have gone beyond the standard backyard sheds. Now you have the space to store multiple lawn care pieces, extras from home, and more.
- 12×20 – Do you want to have a guest room on your property? The 12×20 is a great size to begin that process. These wood sheds can double as spaces for guests to sleep and relax while staying with you. You can also store riding mowers, weed whackers, and patio furniture here instead!
- 12×24 – One of the best bigger sheds you can get on the market allows for maximum storage capacity. For those big yards that need all of the tools and machines, these sheds are for you. Why not buy a 12×24 shed for an outdoor kitchen space beside your pool? Outfit this with a sink, oven, and fridge for the most relaxation!
How Much Does A 8×12 Wood Shed Cost?
8×12 wood sheds have an average cost of $4,600. This does not include the extras and add-ons you can choose for your shed. The high-end 8×12 sheds could be closer to $6,000, while the low side of the spectrum hits around $3,500.

Does A Wood Shed Need A Foundation?
Yes! A wood shed needs a foundation. This could be concrete or gravel and is necessary for the well-being of your shed in the years to come. A stone pad will be the best option, especially over simply doing blocks. This will help keep water from staying at the base of your shed, prevent unwanted settling into the ground, and limit issues with frost.
