So I want to put up a 10x10 or 10x12 shed. I priced out materials and whipped up some construction plans…Looks like it’s going to cost me about $1000 in materials to build this thing. Is there anywhere local I can buy a kit or a pre-assembled shed thats around this size for around this price (and not a piece of shit)? If I can avoid spending a whole weekend building it and it will be sturdy (I.E. not those shitty galvanized sheet-steel buildings that cost $300-400) I’d much rather buy something already done or half-done… ---

Thanks man…Looks like 84lumber has 10x12 kits for $899…but it’s wood and I’d have to stain it and waterproof it. EDIT: seems the one you’ve got isn’t listed on BJ’s website. I also don’t have a membership…guess I’ll have to go in and check it out in person and see if they have a 10x10 or 10x12 available and what it’ll cost Gennaro…doesn’t make sense to add on to the garage given it’s location in my yard. If I wanted a bigger garage I’d have to knock this one down and go to the very back of my yard with a new bigger garage so I don’t block off my entire yard with the garage (rendering the yard useless)…and going tandem on the garage (making it deeper instead of wider) is dumb as fuck. ---

> [@GV1390](#): > > Garage \> Backyard space which you don’t even use lol. I plan to be out of this house in 10yrs of ownership or less. Gotta think resale value vs. what I REALLY need…if I got all my yard equipment out of the garage I’d have plenty of room for projects. ---

It was $1000 back when I bought it. Closest they have on their site now is this one: > **[Lifetime 8' x 12.5' Storage Shed](https://www.bjs.com/product/lifetime-8-x-125-storage-shed/48938?dimId=2003151)** > > Store your belongings with ease in the spacious Lifetime 8' x 12.5' Storage Shed.

Lowes has mine, but it costs more now: [http://www.lowes.com/pd\_147118-75128-60005\_4294720406\_\_?productId=3169189&Ns=p\_product\_qty\_sales\_dollar|1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp\_product\_qty\_sales\_dollar|1&facetInfo=](http://www.lowes.com/pd_147118-75128-60005_4294720406__?productId=3169189&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo=) Be careful if you’re searching around online. There’s a model 60005 and a model 60020. The 60020 doesn’t have the steel support beams and will probably collapse under heavy snow. ---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ---------- > [@BadnewsMike](#): > > I bought a very similar might be the same shed as JayS I love it we use it for all the lawn stuff so I can use my garage for what it was built for my 4 cars lol During the winter i move the snow thrower out and put the motorcycle in and wont worry about it. definitely worth the money. :tup: I remember you bumping my thread to see how it was holding up. ---
