Looking at getting a 10' X 12'. My neighbor got his pre built, and delivered for 2800. 350 was for delivery. Now my other neighbor wants one so we are going ot go in together to save on shipping. The actual shed costs 1350 built plus taxes. very nice too. These are from lancaster, pa. Anyone know of any local guys that are cheaper? I could not find any. Most around here want double of what these guys have it for.

for those interested

Be very careful when buying a shed. Most shed builders only use 2x3(non Building grade at this size) and press board for the walls covered with siding.Press board will buckle over time in a damp(shaded) area. Another thing to think about is theplywood floor . Is it 5/8 or better pressure treated plywood braced with at least 16 oc 2x4's ??

Make sure it is well vented.These sheds become cookers even in the shade during summer time. Also I recommend placing the shed on a nice payer of crushed stone.The shed below was delivered to a friend several years ago and I took photo's for a reference when I save up enough for my own.

It was built by. http://agsstructures.com/index.html and has never shown any defects over the years.

that is the exact shed i built for my brother. It was a kit from 84 lumber. had to be 8-10 years ago. Just had to buy the shingles.

 

My neighbor has the shed i want. Great quality. all 2x4's. I am not going vinyl though. I am getting it without the floor. I am building that myself. Thanks for the info

As annoying as this sounds, you should first ask around about zoning laws and building codes.

Some require a concrete slab, some on stone, and some on dirt. Find out first before building.

I mean, what's the worst that could happen? You having a nice shed.....or.....you have to tear it down after you just put it up because of a township a**hole. :doh:

After my brother getting a permit, i will never get a permit for a shed. I will keep it 5' off all property lines, but if they ever ask, i am replacing my old one.

That's the way to go......

I'm not saying you will get caught but I will tell you that if you think you are guaranteed with that reasoning there is a good chance you'll be wrong. You'd be surprised how many jobs we get at my office because people did that same exact thing and then ran into problems down the line when it came to sell their house etc.

I understand your point. I am setting 12" Sono tubes to base the floor on. Like everything else i do, it will be overkill. If someone does happen to stop by, usually in this town, you play stupid, and just pay the permit fee and they leave you alone. As long as everything thiing is on the up and up.

Poor a concrete floor in my town and expect a visit from the tax man (permanent structure ) When You take your fence down around here zoning circles like vultures to see whats being brought or replaced !!!

However they wont issue violations unless there is more then one complaint.

They just want to tax it.
