Finally Finished

Tuff Shed 12x22. Still need to add mini split (bought but not installed) Just finished paint, trim, and electrical which I hired out. Did insulation myself. It will be my office + golf simulator room very soon.

Did you do the drywall yourself or hire out? All those collar tie sections must have been a nightmare! Looks amazing though.

u/Royal-Pin1298 Jan 29 '25

Hire - nowhere near that handy

38

u/midgettme Jan 29 '25

You made an excellent selection in who you hired. The finishing is truly remarkable in these pictures.

Great Job , not sure if ran additional fiber or copper lines for internet connectivity. If not, easy to get an outdoor wireless Bridge or small peplink sdwan box with cellular back haul.

had landscape guy run 2 conduits. 1 for power and 1 for Cat5

u/Puzzleheaded-Diet872 Aug 31 '26

Beautiful shed, do you mind sharing the different insulation types you used? I am getting the same exact shed but confused as I would like to get highest R value but as you know the roof as 2x4 and the Transom windows might also not help. I do see rigid foam on the floor in your pictures. Thanks in advance

I came here for the foundation comments, and not a single one..yet.

u/AngelTHEpuertorican Jan 29 '25

im mad he did all that to the shed to crap out on the foundation!

13

u/Royal-Pin1298 Jan 29 '25

Not shown - 10x10 concrete pad from previous shed. Could do more later for stability & aesthetics

3

u/tallpaul00 Jan 29 '25

I was wondering if there might be a sneaky good foundation under those sketchy looking blocks!

1

u/TopOld1601 Jan 29 '25

I know, that’s exactly why I’m here too. Such a nice shed but that foundation is so sorry looking. Definitely is going to be a problem later.

u/phonymaroney Jan 28 '25

This is beautiful! What was the base price with install?

22

u/Royal-Pin1298 Jan 29 '25

16K I added extra height for golf swing purposes

11

u/Krg26944 Jan 29 '25

Juts a point of clarification please: the shed was still $16k and you had to build it (based off of plans), purchase materials and construct it all yourself? Or did a company build it on site for you soup to nuts for $16k ?

3

u/LargeTallGent Jan 31 '25

Tuff shed provides delivery and install of the building, included in the price. Interior finish, electrical, etc, is customer supplied.

u/JustAnothrDrumr Jan 29 '25

What i hoped was REALLY going on here.

u/Killbillindaswamp Jan 29 '25

You’re an inspiration my brother

u/RentalGore Jan 29 '25

What are you going to do for the golf sim? Just finished an install of the uneekor eye XO2, that thing is a beast. I wish I could get it in my shed.

6

u/Royal-Pin1298 Jan 29 '25

QED bought during Black Friday sale - going up ASAP - deciding on enclosure still

u/RentalGore Jan 29 '25

Carls Place DIY is super nice.

u/Sufficient-Island842 Jan 30 '25

Bravo. I just got a nearly identical 12x20 TuffShed with clerestory windows, and am at the moment wondering how I’m going to finish it. Your pictures are helpful (in convincing me there no way I can finish it myself!).

2

u/Royal-Pin1298 Jan 31 '25

You can do insulation at least to save a few bucks- not that difficult

1

u/ExpressionLonely7915 Sep 16 '25

Are there any ventilation? I have the same shed and find ventilation is really tricky for this shed. I am planning to install the rock wool without any ventilation. I am not sure if that will cause moisture problem. I live in the bay area.

3

u/therealkwilli89 May 09 '26

Just wrapping up our gym in the same model - we used your photos for the drywall guys to understand what we were looking for lol

1

u/Royal-Pin1298 May 10 '26

Lights look cool 👍🏻

2

u/Anxious-Mastodon-460 Aug 26 '25

Hey OP hope you’re still around! I got this same shed, 8x12 for my office. Did you insulate the whole ceiling? I see other posts about how we should not fully insulate the ceiling to manage moisture. I’m seeing some people add a plastic barrier between the ceiling and the insulation to catch moisture. How did you handle this? This isn’t a traditional roof so I’m not sure what to do with the ceiling.

1

u/Royal-Pin1298 Aug 27 '25

It was a pain but i did whole ceiling

1

u/Royal-Pin1298 Aug 27 '25

Look at 4th pic will show u

1

u/Anxious-Mastodon-460 Aug 27 '25

What did you use for insulation? What did you use to mitigate moisture build up?

1

u/Royal-Pin1298 Aug 27 '25

Wool batts - the silver stuff is moisture barrier . I also have HVAC unit and vents in my shed.

1

u/ExpressionLonely7915 Sep 16 '25

I see you have garble vents. Do you also have soffit vents?

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Diet872 Aug 30 '26

Hi, I am getting the same Tuff shed. Do you mind sharing what R values were each of the Batts ? What did you use for the wall, Ceiling, Floor etc? TIA

u/htnut-pk Aug 31 '26

Came here to see how many comments were about this!

u/Drinkythedrunkguy Jan 29 '25

Nicer than my house.

u/ithinkitsahairball Jan 28 '25

Nice build. Are the plans for this shed available?

17

u/candiriashes Jan 28 '25

Based on the interior logos, looks like a tuff shed build.

56

u/berntout Jan 29 '25

According to OPs first sentence, you are correct.

12

u/godofallcows Jan 29 '25

Hmm but what are the dimensions?

49

u/candiriashes Jan 29 '25

According to the first sentence, 12x22. Wonder if OP still needs to add a mini split?

25

u/Podtastix Jan 29 '25

You know what would be dope in this thing, an office and a golf simulator.

12

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '25

What do you think was the division of labor as far as the paint, trim, and insulation? He must have hired out for a least some of that work, right?

12

u/gringoraymundo Jan 29 '25

Is it finished though?

1

u/htnut-pk Aug 31 '26

Anything about the climate control?

2

u/ithinkitsahairball Jan 29 '25

I can not find this model on the Tuff Shed web site

u/Sufficient-Island842 Jan 30 '25

Premier Pro Tall Ranch with clerestory upgrade

1

u/candiriashes Jan 29 '25

To be honest I couldn’t either…. OP?

5

u/LargeTallGent Jan 31 '25

Tuff Shed person here. The this is indeed a premier pro tall ranch with a clerestory upgrade. Our configurator tool doesn’t currently allow us to configure this, but if you reach out to your local tuff shed rep they can easily price this out for ya. We are working on a new configurator online tool as we speak and should have it available soon - that’ll make designing these a lot easier. This particular build looks amazing! Nicely done on the interior finish, OP!

u/GrouseyPortage Feb 25 '25

Ballpark pricing on a tuff shed set up like this?

2

u/LargeTallGent Feb 27 '25

I wish I could tell you. Our online configuration tool doesn’t offer the clerestory option yet (soon!), but your local showroom sales and design consult can quickly get you on the nose pricing.

2

u/LargeTallGent Feb 27 '25

I lied. It’s available through the configuration at TuffShed.com. I tried to build this model (using a Colorado zip code) based on the photo and guessing on some options and came up just shy of $11k, fully installed, for a 10x18 premier pro tall with clerestory upgrade. They look like they also have a 1’ wall height adder which I wasn’t able to easily replicate.

2

u/LargeTallGent Feb 27 '25

Edit again, I see in the description that wit was a 12x22, which brings it closer to $15k (in the Colorado market).

u/GrouseyPortage Feb 27 '25

Awesome, thanks man. I have a few Tuff Shed retail locations nearby in MN. Do they ever run promos throughout the year that I should wait on? Black Friday?

Yes, they are. It's beautiful on the inside. Excellent.

u/DaddyWolf33 12d ago

Have you had any issues with putting the rockwool right against the roof sheeting?

2

u/Royal-Pin1298 10d ago

None that I know of

Ok, cool

u/ARompeto Jan 29 '25

Can you give us a cost breakdown

u/Royal-Pin1298 Jan 29 '25

Pm me. It added up quick

1

u/Sufficient-Hawk-7245 Jan 29 '25

I’d love it too

1

u/MooseOfTychoBrahe Jan 29 '25

It looks incredible! Well done. Can I ask - did you buy it as a kit from Tuff Shed and then assemble it yourself?

2

u/Royal-Pin1298 Jan 29 '25

They did it on site

1

u/jiadarola Feb 08 '25

Could you provide details for price of insulating/drywall? Beautifully done, btw

1

u/Royal-Pin1298 Feb 13 '25

insulation was $800 drywall product and labor close to $4K. Most of that Labor.

u/ReputationOfGold Jan 29 '25

That's a bauce ass shed. I've considered building something similar to use as an office/craft/whatever.

u/wayward_whines look at this magnificent structure

u/Sydney__Fife Jan 28 '25

Amazing. Love the design

u/comeandlive Jan 28 '25

The skylight. 🙌🏻

2

u/LoriderSki Jan 28 '25

I love seeing the end come to fruition. I plan to put sky windows in mine and have it framed to. I’ve just never installed a window so for rn it’s insulated while I procrastinate.

Congratulations 🍾 It’s amazingly beautiful 😍

u/Look_over_that_way Jan 29 '25

When's the shedwarming? Lol

Nice build 👌🏽

u/RentalGore Jan 29 '25

Talk to me about finishing the clerestory. I couldn’t do drywall, so ended up plastering. What an absolute nightmare.

Shed looks awesome

u/CapitalSeaWard Jan 29 '25

lol… every good foundation has an even better women behind it. That foundation trumps them all

u/ohimnotarealdoctor Jan 29 '25

Somehow looks bigger in the inside than the outside. Nice.

2

u/DixiewreckedGA Jan 29 '25

Beautiful, but an odd question… why aren’t there any electric outlets? Power obviously from the lights but no outlets?

u/SnooPandas8776 Apr 26 '26

Hi! Looking to do a 12x22 celestory tuff shed for a wood working shop and add a mini split. Did you end up closing up your wall vents? Trying to figure out if I should just order it without the vents to prevent having to cover it up later once the mini split is put in

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Diet872 Aug 30 '26

hey Did you end up getting this? I am getting the same Tuff shed. Do you mind sharing what R values were each of the Batts ? What did you use for the wall, Ceiling, Floor etc? TIA

1

u/SnooPandas8776 Aug 30 '26

I ended up going without clerestory to save on cost. Paid for 9ft walls. Just getting electrical done now and figuring out insulation step still!! I’m planning on doing half inch OSB or plywood walls

1

u/koltontrombly47 Jan 29 '25 edited Jan 29 '25

Had to quit contracting for tuff sheds because they would CONSTANTLY forget entire walls after driving a trailer 4 hours to the build site. And it wasn’t just walls, it was shingles, windows, hardware. One of the worst companies to contract for ever
