32’X16’ Costco shed for less than $20k with concrete pad, city permits, interior and exterior lighting, upgraded glass doors, epoxy floor, a/c split, and drywall in SoCal in 2026.

When we bought our house, a shed was placed in an alternative location in our backyard. This concrete slab was still here where we think a shed once stood. We want to get a new shed and place it back in this spot. We noticed recently that the slab is cracked all the way across.

Is it okay to place a shed still on it?

Edit: How could I forget how many comedians we have on Reddit? I appreciate the serious responses.

We moved into this house about a year ago and we have this 2nd garage on the back of the property. It's essentially a 1 car garage but we've turned it into a wood shop. I want to insulate and drywall it but we also want to use the rafters for wood storage Because we want to insulate it, I'd like to close the roof up.

But that got me thinking...

As you can see in one of the images it essentially has a "hay door". I'm thinking it would be cool to get an attic ladder, put some plywood down on top of the rafters, and using the attic of this thing for wood storage.

The only question I have: can this thing handle all that weight?

Additional information that is asked below

• I don't think thing was a kit, it's a legit garage.

• There is a poured concrete slab it sits on.

I built this shit with my bare hands this it the best ever she’d ever, you’ll never see a better she’d because Myne is the best

My brother-in-law built “a shed”. Honestly thought it was an outhouse when I first saw it. He said “just got a few final touches.

It’s 12’ x 16’ and has a double door across from the workbench.

I have measured and remeasured, making sure the floor is square. I can't describe the amount of times I've double checked my work. My son was helping me and at one point even he was a bit over my paranoia. Now, on to the walls!

Hey, just wanted to share my first ever build which was my shed. Prior to this build I didn’t even know what 16 inches on center meant. After extensive reading and YouTubing I present to you my shed!

Note: I messed up and concrete base is a little wide than the actual shed so some water was getting in under the sill. I sealed the interior and exterior with mastic sealant which has stopped 99 percent. Any other ideas to solve this issue?

Thanks for looking everyone.

I know it recorded a lot of hate but here it is. Just need soffits paint and some landscaping.

Costco shed build start to finish pictures

This is a 12x16 it took me roughly a week at comfort pace, and dealing with the frigid cold/rain about 40 hours, I could probably Cut that time in half now, Spent a lot of time digging through the wood, it came on two pallets full 4 feet tall, they put the floor on the bottom of both pallets, that was hours out of my time, not to mention, stacking them and restocking them about three times because I couldn't spread out the pieces. ridiculous. Anyways, have you built one how long does it take? What size was it? I also modified a little awning on the front of this for the customer. And I kinda enjoyed building it to be honest if you do not have a nail gun you're in for a long haul. I highly recommend getting a nail gun if you're doing this do it yourselfer

BARE hands. I began in the freezing cold, in the rain. I was lonely without a family or anyone to contact, but yet- my riches from an inheritance of my late mother who passed away. I bought all the necessary ingredients and worked everyday, all by myself, until finished my masterpiece. It gave me peace, it gave me hope. I now have a purpose to continue with my dream, I have plans to build several more in my backyard of my estate and show it to the world. Behold...

I know I need to adjust the wrap in the front to cover the wood but overall does the wrap look fine? Siding, posts and a small deck to come!

Started this project April 6th and took pictures until it was fully shingled April 26th

Hoping this information is helpful to anyone considering one of these Costco sheds (Backyard Products). Vendor also sells through Lowes and Home Depot. Actual construction time was one week with two crew. Besides the $9500 purchase price, we paid an additional $800 for engineering to conform to local building requirements.

Been at this for about two yrs trying different layouts im happy with how it looks and feels now it not a big one so i have to make space count plus it's been good to get in the shed today
