How much bigger should the pad be than the shed?

The Short Answer

About a foot wider on all sides is the standard recommendation. So for a 10x12 building, you'd want roughly a 12x14 pad.

Going a little bigger never hurts. Some customers extend one side further to create a small gravel walkway or work area in front of the doors.
