Yes, I feel like I got a great deal from Kloter Farms. Here is my invoice from 2020: https://i.imgur.com/FINqLP3.jpg

I don’t know what lumber prices are like now but in 2020 I paid like $5k for a 12x16 custom shed. Maybe $800 for site prep by a local landscaper. Built offside and delivered. 2x4 construction. Northeast prices. All they had to do was drop it in place, add the copper cupola (added a lot to the price), and install the ramp.

Looking at current prices this is basically what I got and it’s $7700: https://kloterfarms.com/product/12-x-16-t-1-11-garden-special-cape-7113/

Don’t get me wrong, if you like doing this sort of project yourself it makes total sense. But I think the bulk price of materials PLUS labor from a shed company is still going to be less that the price of materials alone from Lowe’s or Home Depot.
