    I used to run a vocational program. If your local high school has one go ask them. The kids will figure the plans and BOM. They will have materials delivered and put it up for very cheap. Mine did a 25X25 workshop at my house on a slab. It was half of what I could have paid someone to build, and actually cheaper on materials because they bought them on a school account and can’t be charged tax.

    During the extremely mild February in northern Wisconsin, I built a 12x16 gambrel style shed with a large loft, rugged 12 foot bench, ALL electrical, roll-up 7 foot wide door, pin style footings in the corners for a total of $3500. Went on the TuffShed website and priced out the same configuration... total came to $10k.
    In full disclosure, I also purchased new pneumatic framing nailer, roofing nailer and full sized jack hammer, all NOT included in the $3500 cost. I need a jack hammer and the nailers for another project.

    This shit is always so overpriced. Cheap flimsy plastic with nothing special about it. Build one out lf wood for fraction of the cost. Cause don't forget, you still have to assemble these cheap ass things yourself
