Man reveals how to turn a Home Depot shed into a tiny home

Home ownership is getting more and more expensive across the country. With rising inflation, the expenses of owning a home add up from mortgage bills, utilities, property taxes, maintenance costs, and more. On the flip side, building your own home can also be very costly and not to mention time consuming from obtaining permits to hiring an architect.

It turns out there may be another solution! You now can go to Home Depot and turn a shed into a tiny home. Let's check out how this works below:

This particular home is known as the Tuff Shed.

Tuff Shed, a company whose origins begin in the 1980s, has partnered with Home Depot to offer customers a more affordable housing solution. The Tuff Shed comes with delivery and on-site installation included.

Whether you are looking for a tiny home for yourself or a backyard housing solution for a guest or older family member, there are endless possibilities with the Tuff Shed.

This model comes with a nice wooden deck in the front.

The interior of the Tuff Shed isn't yet finished, allowing customers to customize and finish up to their own liking. This enables folks to spend money where they want to, whether it's investing in the kitchen or maybe upgrading appliances. Or perhaps you want to splurge on hardwood floors!

One commenter noted, "I used to build these for Tuff Shed. They are solid and they go up quick. We could put one of these together in a day as long as everything ran smoothly. I would personally go with the 18x24 with the barn style roof if they still offer it."

The Tuff Shed stands eight feet tall so you don't have to worry about a low ceiling.

A staircase leads up to the upper level.

The shed has windows on both floors, allowing for ample light to flow through.

Another commenter wrote, "I actually bought one of these and made a home out of it many years ago. All together I believe the investment was around $25,000 for he building and finishing it out. How it works is Home Depot delivers all the materials to your building site then a crew comes in a puts it together over the course of about 3-4 days."

One more added, "I used to be the lead wall fabricator at the Tuff Shed fab shop in Pittsburgh. I loved building those things. Is a very efficiently setup operation. We fabricated the walls at the shop and cut all the ply for the floors and roofs and had everything set as a lot for the builders."

"We even built all our own trusses and certain styles of doors at the shop. Built just like a house with 16 or 24 on center depending on the level of shed you purchased. Steel C channel runners for the floors, 3/4 tongue and groove ply for the floors, 1/2 ply for the roofs. That was 15 years ago. I still have a tuff shed door as my basement entry (bilco style)."
