There are advantages in purchasing a shed as opposed to building one from scratch. The sheds are delivered as complete shells making it much less timely to convert it to a living space. Also, many of these manufacturers and sellers offer a warranty on their products. However, there are some negatives. You are limited to certain styles and colors, and the durability may vary from vendor to vendor. These sheds typically range from two to five thousand dollars, depending on size. Given the proper skills and time, constructing your own shed from scratch could probably save you 25-50%.
