    Only being a storage shed, you probably only need a light and an conveinence outlet. For this, a 20 amp 120 volt circuit would be plenty. If this is the case, then either conduit or direct buried UF cable will work and only needs to be 12 inch deep.

    Wire prices are crazy and changing everyday. My guess is the materials is about $100.00. The cost for digging the ditch will be soak in a hot tub and get some one to give a backrub.

    Hope this helps.
