A 8×10 shed covers about 80 sq ft and is one of the small-class buildings our Detroit network handles most often. Standard small shed for tools and equipment. On a tilt trailer or shed mule, the whole building moves in one piece — no disassembly — provided there's a clear path at both the pickup and the drop site.

The three cost drivers in Detroit are access, distance, and permits. Access means gate width, fence lines, slope, and overhead utility drops — a 8-ft-wide building needs roughly 10 ft of clear opening to get through comfortably. Distance is straightforward mileage from pickup to drop. Permits depend on Michigan rules above: this size normally doesn't need one, which is part of why 8×10 moves stay at the lower end of the range.
