8x12 Storage Sheds — 96 Square Feet
A 8x12 building gives you 96 square feet of floor. That is enough for a push mower, the string trimmer, bikes, ladders, and the tote pile that is currently living in your carport.
This is the size most people start with and a fair number wish they had gone one step bigger. If you are on the fence between 8x12 and 10x12, the extra two feet of width is the difference between walking around your mower and climbing over it.

Ground, Access And Setup
Pad: Level ground about 10x14 gives you working room around the building.
Access: You need roughly 10 feet of clear path and gate width to get it in. This is the thing people forget. The building has to physically travel from the road to the spot, and a fence gate or a tight corner decides that before the price ever does.
Leveling: free setup covers up to 3 feet of fall on blocks you supply. Upstate ground rolls more than people expect — measure corner to corner across the spot rather than eyeballing it.
8x12 Shed Questions
How many square feet is a 8x12 shed?
A 8x12 building is 96 square feet of floor. For comparison, a single-car garage is usually somewhere around 240.
What fits in a 8x12 shed?
A push mower, the string trimmer, bikes, ladders, and the tote pile that is currently living in your carport. What does not fit: a riding mower plus a workbench — you can have one or the other.
How much ground do I need for a 8x12?
Level ground about 10x14 gives you working room around the building. You need roughly 10 feet of clear path and gate width to get it in. Free setup includes leveling up to 3 feet using customer-supplied blocks; anything past that, or any grading and clearing, is on you before delivery day. Our delivery checklist walks through it.
Do I need a permit for a 8x12 shed?
Depends entirely on where you live — several local jurisdictions treat accessory buildings differently above and below certain square footages, and a 96 sq ft building may land on either side of that line depending on the county. Permits, HOA rules and covenants are the customer's responsibility. See our permits and site prep guide for who to call.
Can I rent to own a 8x12?
Yes, with no credit check. 5% deposit, then 36, 48 or 60 months. Pay it off inside 90 days and you pay the cash price. Nothing is reported to the credit bureaus. See every building and its exact payment.
