Reply to comment by bartnd in Where to buy a shed by erwin_s

I built my first shed myself. (Used as a pool house) it was a lot of work. Off and on work on weekends took most of the summer. I bought a reeds ferry last year (10x20) Good quality. I build the base myself , to save money, using their specifications. 4x4 pressure treat with gravel for drainage. I’m happy with the shed . Went up in a day. They pre-build most of it and assemble on site. I think 7k for the shed and another 300 for the base

Did building permits come into play at all? I believe in Worcester it is technically anything over 120 sqft needs one. But I am not sure if this is something that anyone actually pays attention to.

Same here in my town. anything under 120 ft^2 needs a permit. Both "sheds" are 10x20 .. No permits needed for either shed

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a 10 x 20 is 200 sqft.

We had one from Reeds put up last year. It’s a little more pricey than other companies and certainly a lot more than a DIY job, but we’ve been very happy with it. I had to ready the site myself but the actual build only took them maybe 4 or 5 hours.
