YardCraft Sheds: Now Affordable Tiny Homes at Lowes

YardCraft, known for high-quality outdoor storage sheds, offers an exciting possibility for those looking to own a tiny home.

YardCraft is changing the DIY landscape by offering products that are not only visually appealing but also incredibly user-friendly. Ideal for those who aren't naturally inclined towards do-it-yourself projects, these kits come with parts that are meticulously pre-cut and pre-drilled by skilled Amish woodworkers.

YardCraft is dedicated to offering high-quality outdoor living products, aiming to bring families, friends, and communities closer through enjoyable outdoor experiences.

The company focuses on making its products accessible and budget-friendly, improving outdoor living spaces without straining finances. This commitment ensures that enhancing one's outdoor area is achievable and affordable.

Each kit is then neatly packed and shipped with comprehensive instructions, ensuring a straightforward assembly process.

Their popular Fairmont model is now more affordable than ever at Lowe's, with a price drop from $9,169 to just $8,777, saving buyers $391. This model, which measures 12 x 26 feet, provides a generous 312 square feet of space, suitable for living or storage.

It features two windows for natural light, a convenient double door, and a spacious barn-style door, enhancing its functionality and appeal.

Lowe's offers a unique opportunity for DIY enthusiasts with its self-build shed kit. The manual suggests that with the help of two others, the shed can be completed in around 20 hours.

However, it's important to note that the kit doesn't include a floor, and buyers will need to paint the structure themselves. This, though, comes with the advantage of personalizing it with any color of choice. A few additional steps will be required to transform it into a fully functioning home.

From Kit to Cozy Home in Steps

The YardCraft shed offers a budget-friendly option for those looking to create a tiny home, but it requires several key steps before it's livable.

Firstly, checking with local authorities is crucial to ensure such units are permissible as full-time residences. After securing the necessary permits and permissions, the next step is to insulate the home properly.

Installing electricity, plumbing, and an efficient heating and cooling system is also vital. Space planning is essential, particularly for integrating kitchen and bathroom appliances in the compact area. Comfortable and safe furnishing is the final touch to make this tiny space a home.

Alternatively, some companies specialize in ready-made tiny homes, offering a more straightforward move-in process and often at an attractive price and design.

In a report by Reuters in May 2023, Lowe's revealed a sharper decline in first-quarter comparable sales than anticipated. However, the company surpassed profit expectations, with Michael Baker, an analyst at D.A. Davidson, attributing this to robust margins maintained through stringent cost control.

"The situation is not as dire as some had predicted," Baker noted, pointing out that Lowe's U.S. same-store sales slightly outperformed Home Depot's for the first time since late 2020.

According to Chief Financial Officer Brandon Sink, despite a weaker-than-expected response from its do-it-yourself customer base, Lowe's offset some of this decline through strong sales to professional customers.
