If you plan to build it, I would heartily recommend one that is divisible by 4 in all dimensions. Try to build 11x9 and I can guarantee you are going to waste a bunch of materials. For 100' - 8x12 For 140' - 8x16 I went to 12x12 and just pleaded the fifth. |

That's what it is here, less than 100 square feet, and not within the setback distance to the property line (15 ft. IIRC?), does not need a permit, and should not impact your property assessment for tax purposes. So mine is 8' x 12', 96 square feet, and not encroaching the property line, like hundreds of other sheds in town!

I have a pole barn that will never be taxed. I can build as many non residential buildings on my property as I want and they will never be taxed. I also have sales tax exemption on many items. I should have done this agricultural thing years ago. |

The value of what I had vs what I paid in total when I used a storage unit was probably a wash.
I did use a small storage unit that burned down in a fire, and was lucky to get compensated but a few sentimental items have no price tag. |

I swore that I'd never have one. Then we downsized by selling out city home and planned, built an addition. We got rid of a lot of stuff prior to the move, unloaded furniture on my adult son for his first house, then my daughters for hers. I Craigslisted the shit out of a what we would never use, gave more shit away, and filled up our 90 gallon rubbish cart weekly.
All totalled we had about 18 months into the storage unit. So $3400. That picture shows us down to about 30% of what was in there. Did we store $3400 worth of stuff? At least ten feet of photo albums, what are these worth? My extra set of wheels for my Porch cost a bit. We paid nearly that for an Amish kitchen table and chairs. My Italian leather couch. Along with the Nordic track also an all mountain ski trainer. Four pairs of ski boots. A queen size bed and mattress. A friend of mine has three in Atlanta, costing her $800/ month. Crazy. |

I never saw the need. Until. We needed to empty my mother-in-laws house and independent living apartment when she passed. House was 50 miles away and needed to get the stuff closer for easier elimination. We got a 10x16 unit and moved alot of the stuff in there, gave a bunch away, sent a bunch to charities. we started out at $139 per month, then increases every 6 months. When we got a notice that we were going to be charged $259 per month, f that. I told the guy we would be out in 3 days. Moved everything to the house, boxes covered the pool table and surrounding areas, furniture on the porch. We quickly found homes for most of it.

I rented one once because I was given a couple truckloads of oak hardwood flooring with no place to store it. This was the 1980’s and I believe it was 100 bux per month. After about 6 months I realized that it was a lost cause so I gave some of the oak away and burned the rest in the fireplace. I have to tell you that the kiln dried red oak sure made a nice fire.
