Amidst spring cleaning, you might discover a need for additional storage space — whether it's for stowing away seasonal items, organizing garden supplies or even parking your car. A backyard shed or garage offers up the perfect solution. The only problem? Building a garage is expensive; the average cost is $23,900, according to HomeGuide.
Luckily, Costco is selling a wood shed that's big enough to fit your SUV — and it starts at $5,000. Even with a car parked, there's ample space for sports gear, tools, bikes and more.
Available with or without a floor, the 12'- by 24'-foot structure is incredibly versatile — turn it into your workshop, potting shed or home gym. There are five windows in total: three that open with screens and two fixed gable windows, plus wall vents for additional airflow.
Extra-wide double doors allow you to easily drive your car inside, while a service door on the side makes it possible to move around the spacious shed, even when a car is parked. There's also an overhead storage loft, ideal for items you don't use on the regular.
If you're up for a DIY project, the shed arrives with pre-cut wood, so you can assemble it yourself without a saw. For a few thousand more, Costco will send a team of professionals to assemble it on your property. It's $7,000 without a floor, or $9,000 with.
From the gable roof to the embossed cedar shingles, the structure is built to withstand the elements — snow, rain, wind and sun. The treated wood siding provides protection against dents, moisture, decay and insects, too.
To purchase this convenient shed, you'll need to sign up for a Costco membership. It's worth it — not many retailers are selling wood sheds of this size. If you're not ready to commit to a membership right now, you can find other options at The Home Depot and Amazon.
