I like many was on the fence about purchasing the last shed deal the 15x8 for 1599 and by the time I had decided it sold out. If you search Sam's clubs website it says sold out but when you click on the product and go to the individual page I was able to purchase it.

This deal is Ok, but you can do better pricewise by buying the 15x8 dual entry on sale, plus the 2.5' extension ($300 regular price from walmart, forgot the sale price).

Also note this is the older style of lifetime shed. The newer style might be worth waiting for, when it goes on sale.
One thing to note, given the SQ footage, some localities MAY require you to get a PERMIT for this.

Mine requires one for any "structure" over 100sq/ft, so I'm aiming to get a 12'x8' to stay just under that limit.

YMMV.... Check with your town, if you are unsure.
Ours is 200 sq ft that kicks you up to the level you need a building permit which is based on sq footage not a flat fee. Had a shed delivered (as in one piece, no "building" going on) and had to get a "building" permit for it. Permits are government cash grabs, pure and simple.

Quote from CrimsonSummer120 :
So regulation as in being part of either interconnection would not have helped...?

People on any of the oligopoly services got screwed. It's well past time we stopped allowing people to pretend they're "otherly regulated" scenarios are *deregulated*. They're not.

Regulation isn't inherently bad, but neither is it inherently good. The are countless examples of bad regulations that directly harm consumers. Legal monopolies, such as cable companies from the 70's onward, oligopolies we still see happening, the food cartels enabled by the New Deal--all examples of bad regulations that harm people. Also all examples of how politicians on both sides of the aisle routinely sell out their constituents to their corporate connected friends.

Cronyism, in other words.

Your miles may vary on that take. Some municipalities are pure and simple cash grabs and it's typically a sign of deeper corruption within. But there are plenty of cities that have a healthy system to verify safety and don't try to milk home owners.

That doesn't always work so well. Around here they use satellite images. I know from experience. Our local assessors office found my shed and incorrectly assumed that it was additional livable space.

Agree 100%. Unless you live in a town of 500 with nosy neighbors, they're not going to know... But if not at least you can sleep in the spacious shed when your wife's boyfriend is over.

Not sure where they get the satellite images... But if its Google, you can blur your property on Google Maps so your house isn't shown to anyone who Google searches it... It's just blurred out where your house is. It may be different for satellite, I've never paid close attention... but I know for sure it works for street view.

If that doesn't work, just put astroturf on the shed roof... Bam, camouflaged... Like a stealth jet...
They're not finding my shed.

If you are capable/handy and have the tools, building yourself it is the way to go. Pro tip - drive around your local construction sites and see if they have any lumber left over. Most do have it and most will give it to you dirt-cheap if not completely free. I am a developer and we always have lumber left over, typically we just toss it after or give it away. Most suppliers price lumber per plans and add some extra to be on the safe side, so there is always extra after the project is wrapping up. Best time to ask is after framing is done and drywall/siding is going up. If you ask before- they won't know how much they need so they will probably say no. If you wait too long the extra might be tossed or given away during site clean-up

Quote from CrimsonSummer2007 :
Yep. Kinda like all those troublesome electrical grid regulations, and floodplain building restrictions that Texas is too smart to participate in! The free market knows best, and regulations cost money without providing any benefit; Right?? Plus why bother spending any money on those things when you can just get the Federal Government to bail you out again and again and again when it turns out that the "Free Market" got it wrong when they were too busy maximizing profits and passing the buck down the line??
It's a shed buddy. Not a home or active vehicle garage. Permits for little civilian sheds ARE cash grabs.
