Sheds

[rondog]

I'd buy a premade one like a Tuff Shed and have it delivered and set up. Put it on a concrete slab, ours is on dirt and I'm afraid it'll eventually cause problems. If you're going to use it for working in, wire it for power and lights, and insulate it.

Our Tuff Shed came with the house, it's a lean-to shape on the side of the house. Not real big, but handy as hell. It's well-made, we've been here 10+ years and it's still in great shape. No idea how old it actually is.

If you spend the exact same amount on a pre-made shed vs the materials to build it yourself, the one you build yourself will be of much higher quality (assuming you can swing a hammer). I went and looked at all the pre-fab sheds two years ago and for the size I wanted, they were in the $2500-$3K range. I looked at how they were build and just could not bring myself to spend that for the shoddy construction they typically entail. I spent the $3K and built it myself and have a vastly superior product.

I have no doubt a homebuilt one would be cheaper and probably better quality. I also have no doubt that if I tried to build one, it would never get finished.
