This page breaks down real-world shed costs, what affects pricing, and how to decide what makes the most sense for your budget and needs.
Average Cost:
What to Expect
Shed pricing varies based on size, materials, and how you plan to use the space. Below are general cost ranges to help you understand what most customers invest when choosing a quality, professionally built shed.
Small Storage Sheds: $3k-$6k
Best for lawn equipment, seasonal items, and basic backyard storage. These sheds offer a compact footprint with durable construction and essential features, keeping costs efficient and straightforward.
Medium Sized Sheds: $6k-$9k
A popular choice for homeowners who want flexibility. These sheds provide enough space for workbenches, shelving, or recreational use while still fitting comfortably in most backyards.
Large/Custom Sheds: $9k-$20k
Designed for maximum functionality, these sheds often include insulation, electrical, upgraded finishes, and custom layouts. Ideal for turning a shed into a true extension of your living or working space.
Factors to Consider
While size and base price are important, there are several other factors that can influence the total cost of your shed. Thinking through these details upfront helps avoid surprises and ensures your building fits both your property and how you plan to use it.
Size
The overall size of your shed directly affects material costs, delivery, and site requirements. A compact shed may be perfect for lawn equipment, while larger footprints allow room for workbenches, vehicles, or finished interior spaces.
Materials
Shed materials play a big role in both price and long-term performance. Higher-quality siding, roofing, and framing typically cost more upfront but offer better durability, appearance, and resistance to weather.
Delivery & Setup
Proper site prep—such as leveling, gravel pads, or concrete foundations—ensures your shed remains stable and protected for years to come and should be planned as part of the total budget.
Other Customizations
Custom features can transform a basic shed into a highly functional space. Windows, doors, lofts, shelving, insulation, electrical, and upgraded finishes all affect pricing.
