Gorilla Shed from Costco - 10x12 - Review

We bought a 10' x 12' shed from Costco Wholesale. Backyard Products did the build on site at our farm. Check out some time lapse footage of the construction as well as on overview of the features, how much it cost, and our experience.

Thanks to our Patron, Lisa!

To keep rodents (groundhogs, skunks, weasels, rats, moles) from digging under the shed and settling up household you should install rat wire (1”x1” or smaller) all around the bottom and under the ground extending about 24” out. We had to do that because they get under there and chew their way up into the shed.

I bought an Old Hickory building. It came fully assembled and finished. Also 2x4 construction with several paired together on side and back walls for snow load. Steel roof and top cap. Delivered, installed, and leveled on an old cement garage slab. Turnbuckle braces top and bottom of the door for square closing. Only things I added were matching roof gutter and downspouts and some interior shelving. I was lucky to get this gem. Someone else was waiting right behind me to take it if I didn't.

Very nice I'm surprised they don't put on cement or blocks to keep off ground.

Do you a PDF of the installation guide you can share?

[CocktailUnderground]

That's super nice! I am surprised they built it on-site. I always assumed at least the walls were put together and shipped to the site.

Did you build/add a ramp? If so, did you do a video how-to that you could share? Thanks!

Thank you for the video. I'm looking into buying a Costco installed wood shed. Did you resolve the issue with light and other gaps by the door? Would you recommend this style door or the Costco Yardline brand with an all word door over Gorilla's fiberglass?

how much did you pay ? .I'm a Costco member in ct. the 10'×12' shed is $5000 materials and labor to build. gorilla brand. before covid in 2019 yardline was here and their 12'x10' shed was $3800 same deal, looks similar.

Did you paint your shed, and if so what paint did you use? I just had this shed installed. Doors are amazing.

What is the wall height of the shed? Thanks!

If you had it spray foamed with closed cell foam on the inside, it would insulate it and air/water seal. Then you'd just need to add weather stripping to the doors, and then it would be ready for climate control.

As I understand it, it's probably cheaper and will come out better to pay a company to come do the foam. Just make sure it's closed cell.

What made you go with this brand vs another builder?

Gutters and downspouts are not extremely expensive and will allow you to direct the water away and stop the erosion.
