Don't Forget Site Prep
Most sheds need a level base. In South Jersey, a concrete slab often runs ~$6.75–$12.30 per sq ft; that's $810–$1,476 for a 10×12. Gravel pads are typically cheaper and perfectly fine for many sheds.

Do I Need a Permit in South Jersey?
In South Jersey (including Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester counties), detached accessory structures ≤144 sq ft are typically permit-exempt(your 10×12 is 120 sq ft). Larger or permanent structures require permits and fees; always check setbacks and HOA rules.

How to Choose the Right Shed (South Jersey Edition)
Weather Matters
Opt for weather-resistant siding/roofing that handles humid summers and coastal weather conditions.
Use Case
Basic storage vs. workshop? Add options like lofts, double doors, windows, or electrical stub-ins.
Total Cost of Ownership
Pad, delivery, anchoring, paint/stain, and maintenance all affect lifetime cost.
