about the advantages and disadvatages of wood vs. concrete vs. steel vs. vynal vs aluminum (including aproximate price because these sites that sell buildings dont ever list them.) thank you Clark |

First contact your building inspection people and find out what zoning/permit requirements are. Then go to Menards, HD, whoever, and look at whatever prefab kit pleases you and fits the city codes. Line up a good concrete crew for the pad and get a contract. Get a crew for site prep and another contract. Go down to city hall and get a building permit, now that you know roughly what your costs are. The size of structure you contemplate pretty much eliminates vinyl sheds. DIY steel buildings take incredible amounts of time and fussing with fasteners to assemble and then need major interior work unless you are only keeping rough eqipment out of the weather in them. Prefab structures are by far the most cost effective in most areas on the dollars per square foot basis. HTH Also look into what TuffShed has to offer.. Someone had them put up a garage a few years ago and it looks pretty good -- you will need a concrete pad poured for most applications though.. |
