If you're shopping for a portable building in Tennessee, the first question on your mind is probably "how much is this going to cost me?" It's a fair question, and one we get just about every day here at PAC Building Pro in Waverly.
The honest answer is that portable building prices can vary quite a bit depending on what you need. But we can walk you through the main factors that affect cost, give you a sense of what to expect, and help you figure out what fits your budget—whether you're paying cash or looking at rent-to-own options with no credit check.
What Affects the Cost of a Portable Building?
Before we talk numbers, it helps to understand what drives the price. Here are the biggest factors:
- Size: This is the big one. An 8x10 storage shed costs a lot less than a 16x40 cabin.
- Style: Utility sheds, lofted barns, side-lofted barns, and cabin-style buildings all have different features and price points.
- Materials: Wood portable buildings and metal portable buildings have different costs and benefits.
- Features and upgrades: Windows, extra doors, lofts, porch additions, insulation, and finishes all add to the base price.
- Delivery distance: At PAC, we offer free delivery within 30 miles of Waverly, TN. Beyond that, there may be a delivery fee depending on your location in Middle Tennessee.

Portable Building Price Ranges in Tennessee
While every building is custom-quoted based on your choices, here's a general sense of how pricing works:
Small storage sheds (8x10, 10x12) tend to be the most budget-friendly option. These are perfect for lawn equipment, tools, or seasonal storage.
Mid-size utility and lofted barns (12x20, 12x24, 12x32) are popular for workshops, hobby spaces, or larger storage needs. Lofted barns give you extra overhead storage, which a lot of folks find useful.
Larger cabins and barns (14x40, 16x40 and up) are at the higher end. These can serve as guest cottages, home offices, she-sheds, man-caves, or even tiny home conversions.
Material choice also plays a role. Portable metal buildings are durable and low-maintenance, while wood buildings offer a classic look and are easy to customize or paint down the road.
| Building Type | Common Sizes | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Utility Shed | 8x10, 10x12, 10x16 | Lawn equipment, tools, garden supplies |
| Lofted Barn | 12x20, 12x24, 12x32 | Workshops, storage with overhead space |
| Cabin | 12x32, 14x40, 16x40 | Guest rooms, offices, tiny homes |
| Portable Metal Building | Various sizes | Durable, low-maintenance storage |

Rent-to-Own Portable Buildings with No Credit Check
One of the biggest advantages of buying a portable building from PAC is our rent-to-own program. You don't need perfect credit—or any credit check at all. This makes it easy for families in Middle Tennessee to get the building they need without a big upfront payment.
Here's how it works:
- You pick out your building and choose your options.
- We deliver and set it up on your property for free (within 30 miles of Waverly).
- You make affordable monthly payments until it's paid off—no credit check required.
- Once it's paid off, the building is 100% yours.
This is a great option if you need a building now but want to spread the cost out over time. And because there's no credit check, approval is simple and fast.
Cash Purchases and Discounts
If you're in a position to pay cash, that's an option too—and it can sometimes save you money compared to financing. When you call or stop by, we can talk through both cash and rent-to-own pricing so you can decide what works best for your situation.
