Budgeting for Your Dream Shed: Average Costs in San Antonio
You’re a San Antonio homeowner dreaming of adding a custom shed to your backyard. One of your first questions is likely, “How much will this cost?” Budgeting for a shed project can seem scary. But, with thoughtful planning and the right shed builder, you can make your vision real. And you can do it without spending much. Let’s break down the average costs of building a shed in San Antonio.
Many factors impact the shed’s price. They raise the total cost of your shed project.
- Size of the shed (square footage)
- Shed style (barn, ranch, lean-to, etc.)
- Materials used (wood, metal, etc.)
- Customization and finishing options
- Site preparation and permit fees

The average price for a custom shed in San Antonio is $2,600 to $3,500. For a basic 8×8 shed, gable style sheds start at $2,600 and barn style at $3,500. On the larger end, a 16×40 gable shed averages around $11,800, while the same size barn style is about $12,300. Most San Antonio homeowners end up somewhere between. The most common sizes are:
- 10×12 (120 sq ft): $3,350 – $3,550

You have customization options and added costs. These base prices are a starting point. Upgrading materials and adding style raise the cost. Including premium features, like electricity, can also raise it. Some common customizations and their higher costs:
- Upgraded shingles, paint, or siding: $1-$3 per square foot

- Built-in shelving or workbenches: $200-$500

For most San Antonio shed projects, you can expect to spend an extra $1,000 to $5,000 for these premium add-ons. This is on top of the base pricing.
