THE Home Depot is selling a $5,499 shed that could be converted into a tiny home.
With 288 square feet of living space, the wooden structure would make a great “man shed” or “she cave.”
The Home Depot is selling a Handy Home Products Manhattan 12 ft. X 24 ft. wood storage shed for $5,498.81.
The DIY kit features pre-cut components for you to assemble, and no floor is included.
But with the money saved by building it yourself, that could mean a leftover budget to create a workshop, gym, or personal space.
The shed features 7-feet-high sidewalls, three windows with screens, a side door, and 8-foot double front doors.
Paint is not included, so it’s up to you to create the aesthetic you want.
Shipping is free, and it could be at your property within two weeks.
The shed comes with a 10-year material warranty and falls under The Home Depot return policy.
While it is possible to turn a shed into a tiny home, there are some important steps you would need to take first.
First, you would have to check local regulations to see if these types of structures can be used as permanent dwellings in your area.
The shed must be insulated using appropriate materials such as foam boards, fiberglass batts, or spray foam insulation.
Next, you’d need to install electricity and plumbing and choose a heating and cooling system.
Most tiny homes feature some sort of kitchenette and bathroom, using compact appliances to save space where possible.
But whenever undertaking work on a tiny home, remember to consult professionals to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
Another option is to buy a ready-to-go tiny home from a specialist company.
For example, Incredible Tiny Homes is selling a ready-to-go tiny home for just $15,000.
Despite its low price, the house is complete with a kitchenette and a bathroom with a flushing toilet.
For a more luxurious experience, Escape sells tiny homes from $42,000 that have been described as “the most beautiful tiny homes in the world.”
And Nevada company Boxabl makes and sells pre-made tiny homes starting at around $50,000 - even Elon Musk is a customer.
