Compact Sheds for Small Yards in Lehi


When Space Is Tight, Design Smarter



Not every property in Lehi has a large backyard. When space is tight, thoughtful design becomes essential. A 10×12 shed (≈120 sq ft) or 12×16 shed (≈192 sq ft) fits neatly into most small yards—and stays under Utah’s typical 200 sq ft permit threshold (Utah County Building Guide).


At Spacium Design, each project begins with a free 3D design session to orient doors, windows, and built-in shelving for optimal circulation and natural light. Vertical solutions like lofts and overhead racks allow you to maximize storage without expanding the footprint.


Tips for Small Yards



  • Choose dual-purpose features: Opt for windows that open for ventilation and light; install folding workbenches or overhead racks.

  • Mind setbacks and zoning: Compact sheds still need to meet local rules—many areas require minimum distances such as six feet from your home and one foot from side or rear property lines (Utah Municipal Services District FAQ).

  • Consider wall height: Taller walls increase storage volume without enlarging the base—just make sure your design complies with local height limits (often 14–20 ft).



Spacium’s starter kit makes compact sheds feel spacious: pick one upgrade—shelving, a tackboard with hooks, or a premium paint finish—and we’ll include it at no extra cost. Plus, our “Love it or we’ll modify it free” policy means if your layout isn’t quite right within 90 days, we’ll adjust it for free.
