If you have an expansive backyard and you're wondering: What do I do with all this space? Let us tell you that the possibilities are endless. You can set it up to grow your own fruits and vegetables (maybe plant a tree or two), turn it into an entertaining space complete with an outdoor kitchen, or add in a tiny home that doubles as a guest house.
If you're looking for where to get one, we suggest checking out Costco's Elite Shed by Gorilla. Yes, the same brand that makes the impressive "Goliath" barn shed and "Titan" shed. The small but mighty space can be so much more than a storage area for your tools—it can turn into your own personal sanctuary, depending on how cozy you want to make it.
Coming in two different sizes (the smallest one already sold out!), starting at $5,299.99, the price of these Elite sheds includes professional delivery and installation that should only take about two to three days on a properly prepared site, according to the website, so you don't have to get your hands dirty. The sheds have a very spacious floor plan but come with enough storage space via shelves and side walls, and they're extremely versatile, coming to you as blank canvases for you to customize as you like.
One happy customer wrote, "Good quality shed, exactly same as the website’s description. Two guys came and built from scratch, took them all day for 12x16 shed but we are very happy with the results," while another said, "Really nice shed. Installation was great, prompt, and professional. Shed seems to be decent quality, only needs to be caulked and painted: so, really easy for me! Now I have tons of storage- and it’s a very cute shed!"
Though these sheds might not be the cheapest, considering all that they offer, from the weatherproof roof and siding to a flexible design to the operable windows, we think they are a pretty good deal. However, if you want more affordable options, we found more budget-friendly options on Amazon that allow you to buy two sheds versus just the one from Costco, possibly.
