Sheds by Size
At Maco Structures, we understand the common inquiries regarding shed selection. The key aspect is determining the appropriate size. This decision hinges on three essential considerations for your shed by size:
-
Purpose: Identifying the shed's intended use, such as a home gym versus simple storage, greatly influences size requirements.
-
Property Space: Assessing the available space on your property is crucial.
-
Budget: Balancing size with affordability is important to find a suitable and cost-effective option.
We delve into these factors in detail to assist you in making an informed choice for your ideal shed.
Common Shed Sizes
We are going to divide shed buildings into three standard shed sizes:
Small Shed Sizes
Small sheds are perfect for storing tools, push mowers, garden hoses, gas cans, and a traditional weed whacker. These are great to install for properties with limited yard space as well.
Common small shed sizes: 6×10, 8x10, 8×12 and 8×16
Square feet: from 60 sq ft to 240 sq ft
Medium Shed Sizes
Medium shed sizes are designed for keeping equipment such as larger gardening tools, shovels, tool cabinets, riding mowers, 2-3 bikes, lawn furniture, grills, leaf and snow blowers. These shed sizes are the best options when thinking about storage sizes combined with cost. In addition, medium shed sizes offer the ability to add shelving options that can help you to organize your small belongings easily. Also, these shed sizes are popular to use as a man cave, she shed, or guest room.
Common small shed sizes: 12x12,12x20, 12x32 and 12x40

What are standard shed sizes?
There are no standard shed sizes; it would simply depend on what works for you in your backyard and how much space you would need. Most shed builders’ typical shed sizes are 10×12, 10×16, 10×20, and 12×32.
What shed sizes can I build without a permit?
Most sheds sizes like; 6×10, 8×10, and 8×12 that are less than 100 square feet will not need a permit. But some municipalities will allow you to build or purchase shed sizes up to 120 square feet without a building permit. For instance, a permit is not needed for one-story storage shed sizes of less than 120 square feet in Georgia. Check with your county for any restrictions or changes.
