funny, I'm having a Tuff Shed installed on my site as we speak. I think the construction and fit are excellent. It's the same color as the green/black in your video.
Almost done siding and about to start the roof on my 12x16 double lofted gable shed. I'm sitting right around $4k on materials and some tools, and that's including the gravel pad foundation it's placed on. That may go up slightly with paint and some misc upgrades. Not to mention, using my own design, I was able to give it full 8 ft INTERIOR walls (96 inch studs) and a 7:12 pitched roof, making the loft space very usable. It's very close in specs to that gambrel you showed at $11k! It's hard work for sure, but the over $7k in savings and the fact that I've built it myself definitely make it worth it! Appreciate all your videos. I've watched quite a few and yours are in my pool that I refer to frequently!
I bought a Tuff Shed last year and did a massive kitchen conversion in it that I put up on my UA-cam channel. I did do some upgrades on it though. I didn't go with a floor at all, and had it mounted straight on a slab, I increased the height a couple of feet also, since I was planning dropping in a flat ceiling as well. Also, I had them but French doors on it, and a residential sliding window on it, too. I love how it came out, but remember that if you want to turn it into some soft of livable space, there's a lot you do need to do to make sure it's weather sealed properly and closed up so you don't get little critters in there as well. My shed ended up costing about 10200 through home depot, and my total cost on the kitchen conversion with the price of the shed was about 47k and took 13 months doing it myself. Really happy with the result, but remember that you have to be extra careful doing that kind of stuff in one of these.
You should try visiting an actual Tuff Shed location. The Tuff Shed stores has different model sheds than the Home Depot line. A lot of those options you mentioned are standard with the models Tuff Shed offers at their store. They do use 4x8 sheets and there is caulking behind the window frame to prevent water from leaking in.
you do have options for 12 and 16 on center through tuff shed, you can also get a upgraded model from tuff shed with a larger 6 inch overharg, have you ever been to a local Tuff Shed Rep and looked at the non Home Depot Models, There is a big difference. Now you just dont have enough information.
Tuff Shed uses base prices. Tuff Shed uses drip edge or flashing on all Shed's to prevent water damage. Each shed also has a warranty of 5, 7, or 10 years, uncommon in that space. The 6" endwall eave overhang you are referring to or soffits' as you call it, is standard on some models like the Premier PRO series. Tuff Shed uses caulk behind the window and trim. This just seems like you are salty about the price. Tuff Shed is certainly not an inexpensive or cheap shed. If you want something that will last 20+ years and add value to the home get Tuff Shed. If you prefer to save a few bucks and buy a new shed every 3-5 years go with someone else.
Thank you so much for the feedback. There is very little information online and at the homedepot store. Some other folks mentioned I should visit an actual tuff shed store. I am looking forward making an update video later on. This is good information everyone should be aware of. Thanks so much!!!
Just letting you know that you are making a mistake. Tuff Shed has two different product lines. You are showing a video from the Home Depot product line and looking at the price. Then you are going to the website and specking out a what you perceive to be the same shed and seeing a price difference but it is actually a different product line, built differently and with different materials. That is why you are seeing a price difference.
And it’s the same with many products. Manufacturers build specifically for Home Depot. I found this out with products like Water Heaters and Tile. Name Brands by the way.
WRONG! The Home Depot sheds are built in the SAME factories with the SAME materials and installed by the SAME contractors...only difference is what may come standard on a shed bought directly from a retail center. When you buy a shed from a Home Depot center, it will generally cost less because HD picks up the delivery fees, so it's free delivery!
Home depot's line of tuff sheds are made with cheaper materials all the way around 2x4 galvanized steel floor runners instead of 2x6 studs or 2 ft on center instead of 16 on center floor ply and roof ply are thinner I am an ex employee and literally had a contractor have us build a tough shed and take the warranty sign off because he wanted to claim it as his own because it was cheaper to have us build it then for him to buy the materials
And of course they're going to charge more for something that takes longer to build and takes more materials unless you're saying they should charge you for that even on models that don't have it
Yeah and you know why he's building the 8x8 that's the only one they'll sell in a kit and it only has like a two year warranty because you put it together we're not going to warranty your work
Can anybody tell me how i can build a 10x14 ft shed wood foundation without using 16 ft lumber? Is it possible to bud up pieces of lumber to make a floor this big? My problem is i have no way to transport 16ft lumber.
you can get 2 8' long pieces and splice them together with another piece of lumber, make sure to use structural screws and that you have support right underneath the splice.
by window seal do you mean flashing tape? there are a lot of things I would do to make these sheds better if I was to buy one... the first thing I would do would be to buy all the lumber myself, and just follow their plans LOL
@@EverydayShed still thinking I could probably build it a lot cheaper by buying the lumber myself, rather than the DIY kit, but I havent been able to confirm that yet.
Thin metal foundation is a huge problem it you need to sell, move or even level shed in the years to come. Much better to have treated wooded skids. Also the Tuff Shed LP Smartside, while a good product, is very heavy. Painted steel, skid mounted Morgan Building is a more viable and long lasting option if your HOA allows.
The hot dipped galvanized steel foundation is a great product and engineered to be used in all weather conditions. If you intend to move your shed in the future or need for it to be portable then Tuff Shed also offers a wood foundation like you are describing.
If I were looking for a prebuilt shed I would look in your area for an Amish shed builder. The price could be a bit steep but they usually do the best job with building a sturdy structure.
My experience with Tuff shed is buy it from a corporate tuff shed dealer not and outside business like Home Depot. Home Depot will give you the better deal but you’re not gonna get the same shed or the same labor. The main hub for Tuff shed where I lived, built a better shed and had better workers…. Meaning they cared about their name. You don’t know who you’re gonna get from Home Depot when you hire.
The problem with Tuff Sheds is that they use cheaper than plywood, OSB, which can emit gases when cooped up in summer heat in these sheds. OSB wasn't meant to be left exposed in any building, as these sheds are made. I was working in them as a recent sales rep, and my health went to being very exhausted all the time, and a cough and some vertigo. Now that I quit that job, I am feeling better and no vertigo.
Clearly you weren't selling many sheds if you were sitting in them all day huffing the material 😂 this is very telling of you more than Tuff Shed, but kuddos for your miraculous recovery.
@@shalloncollins5733 no actually there hadn't been a rep in a while, so and even with the display sheds were not maintained properly so they needed a lot of cleaning and work and a summertime also but nevertheless the OSB should not be exposed like that it's not healthy
This is interesting, so tell me in your sales experience and product knowledge - is there not a reason for all of the ventilation options that Tuff Shed offers? I mean, I would assume that any manufactured material would need to 'breathe' They offer wall vents, ridge vent, windows that open, doors.. the sheds are not air tight, right? So how would these gasses stay trapped in the shed even with no ventilation options they are still not air tight. In addition, is osb not used almost everywhere?
@shalloncollins5733 OSB is always covered with housewrap when it's using apartments and homes to leave it exposed when manufacturing sheds when it's manufactured with glues resins chemicals is not good it makes no sense.
There are alot brands. So far, sheds built by the Amish are by far the best. You can find them at a local shed dealer. Unfortunately they are not available everywhere.
Several people pointed out you made a major comparative error. Maybe delete the video or re edit it so you're not doing a disservice to the same people you're trying to help.
I think sometimes these are part time employees at depot building these😄. If it’s a kit, you can for sure do a better job, but no way am i paying $10k + interest for shotty work!🤨
These kind of BS videos are a result of some person who thinks he knows something - but in reality hasn't done all his research. There are different wall height options, and different spacing for the joists-depending on what you are using the shed for. If you're going to try and trash a company, do your research first...remember, these are SHEDS, not small homes - of course you will have to so some upgrades if you are going to use it for something other than a SHED.
Your information is incorrect. Your theories are not factual. You should consider researching or speaking with vendors prior to making videos about their product. I could tell you the incorrect information in your other product videos regarding your installation services but since I haven't talked to the vendor I, respectfully, will not :) This is misinformation and I am absolutely sure, if you call any Tuff Shed location to discuss your questions or confirm pricing versus upgrade or standard options we would all love the opportunity because we are the best, we have passion for what we do, and the believe in our brand and product. Heck, if you are just looking to build your business by pointing out what you perceive to be flaws in a product you have no standard product knowledge of, we certify our installation partners through an in depth program even. Knowledge is power, you should check any of these out and state facts versus opinion.
U have no clue what you're talking about or even how it's built also the shed it pre-built if you want the same shed with the same upgrades on your property it's going too cost more because the installation with come out and build it on site now if your going too buy it from home depot and have it delivered of course the price is going too change so get your facts strate first
@scottrobinson5849 shit I could frame up a 10 × 16 just like that in like 20 🤣 you clearly don't understand how cheaply theese are made. No common sense lol.

I’m the RVP for Tuff Shed. I can assure you I’m correct.
@@robertmccracken4212
You stop selling your shed at Home Depot because you getting a bad name
Lowes sheds prices were very low last time I was there. I bet it has to do with those upgrades. I never knew that was a thing
Yes! Once you finally figure out what you want to purchase, the price goes up.
Great video! I'm looking forward to a 10' x 12' build tutorial video.
10x14 in few weeks!!! 😊

You definitely know what you're talking about. I plan on watching more of your videos.
Thanks and welcome to the channel 👍
I agree, the Tuff Shed isn’t the best sheds out there but it’s good for people who don’t know how to build a shed on their own.
100% it's an option. I just wanted to inform people on what's out there.

@@EverydayShed awesome. thank you
Please do a video on the controversy over the Gap behind Stucco . . . Old School "Render" on brick vs Stucco on wood ; Synthetic Stucco . . .
That is actually a good idea. Stucco on a shed, and go through the different options. I like it.. Thanks!
Start a podcast! You have a voice we could listen to for hours!
lol!!! Thanks for the feedback… 😂
by window seal do you mean flashing tape? there are a lot of things I would do to make these sheds better if I was to buy one... the first thing I would do would be to buy all the lumber myself, and just follow their plans LOL
