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.

Also note this is the older style of lifetime shed. The newer style might be worth waiting for, when it goes on sale.
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.

Did not know of this, thx for sharing! Extreme weather kit seems like a no brainer for like 90% of ths country these days.
I've never seen anything Amish built to be of inferior quality, they're legit.
I'm not the person you are responding do, but I'm allowed to rough in my own electrical as long as it's my own home.
Our local electrical inspector is a son of a bitch who will nitpick at anything he can find. He's even tried to get me on other stuff he wasn't inspecting which was grandfathered in. But something I hired a professional for - he didn't look at anything and just slapped the approval sticker on door of the house. Even more ridiculous - we had a big storm the day before the power was still out.

Seriously though, what a silly rule.
I'll also concur on foundation. It needs to be flat and level. If not flat, you'll notice pieces not lining up properly and it's really going to put a lot of stress where you make those connections and the shed is going to fail prematurely.
Enough with your communist propaganda, ever wondered why electricity/gas costs 2x or more where you live. Government sanctioned monopoly is the worst
I put in a smaller one of these (maybe half the size) a number of years ago that we use as a kids shed. I built a plinth out of treated lumber and painted with enamel, then once it was in place all I had to do was level 4 corners. Assembly is great when everything lines up! Ironically, this is basically how all smaller sheds are started, so at that point you have to ask yourself how much you are really saving by going plastic - HD/Lowes have some really inexpensive kit-type wooden sheds that are priced competitively even for JUST the lumber.
Government decided people can by electricity off a single, approved list of vendors. That's regulation creating an oligopoly (oligarchy is different). That approved list is a regulation. That same government then mandates that those companies MUST buy electricity from certain wholesale vendors who are outside the state, which is also a regulation. Texas can't control what happens in other states or in markets, so when a crazy scenario like this happens, the poor companies have no choice but to buy and resell electricity at high prices.
All of that is regulation in action. The next steps (already in progress) are laws saying people don't have to pay the placement rates, power companies filing for bankruptcy, yet also starting in business until the state or federal governments cough up funds for a bailout. The power companies are then off the hook, the power generators out of state get fat money, and the citizens believe their politicians saved them, giving them effectively free electricity for the emergency. In reality, they'll still pay for that electricity, in the form of taxes, at the inflated price.
This is *not* a free market.

The whole country is dogged with legally enforced monopolies and oligopolies masquerading as "deregulated", actually. It's not just California. Up until 2015, we still had legal cartels that forcefully seized various crops, including raisins and cherries, and destroyed them in order to reduce supply and Artificially raise prices. That was an artifact of Roosevelt's New Deal, which created many such schemes because Roosevelt believed the problem was that prices were too *low*.
The New Deal was the single biggest act of cronyism ever committed in the US to date.
