The tiny home, the Heartland Coronado, is a 12 by eight-foot wood storage shed and has earned an average rating of four stars out of five.

While the unit might look like your traditional shed, shoppers can transform the space into a full home with just a little creativity.

The space offers a deluxe large window for ideal natural lighting.

It also comes pre-cut and ready to assemble, so it will require no special skills or saw to put your new home together.

“Even a novice builder can build this wood storage shed in a weekend,” the product listing reads. 

While the 64-inch door makes it easy to get tractors, ATVs, and other large outdoor equipment inside, it also means you could easily transport furniture like couches, kitchen tables, refrigerators, and more.

If you do decide to take a chance and convert the shed into a tiny home, you will need to add a floor and a few other traditional materials.

Shoppers who purchased the Heartland Coronado have praised it for its ease of assembly.

“The shed was perfect,” one reviewer wrote on the Lowes site.

“All of the pieces, except for one, were cut perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised. The instructions are fairly clear and easy to follow,” it added.

No matter what level of expertise you have in building a shed, you should be able to put the unit together in no time.

“We purchased this shed for our new home,” another customer wrote.

“Never put one together before but with easy instructions, we were able to put it up with no problem. Haven’t finished the shingles trim or paint yet but it is perfect for our needs. So easy my 16-year-old daughter helped,” they added.

HOW TO GET STARTED WITH A TINY HOME

While more Americans are turning to tiny homes as a way to save money amid high inflation, there are several things you should know before you get started on building one.

For one, you must decide whether you will purchase one, or if you’d rather build one yourself.

Home Depot, like Lowes, regularly sells pre-designed tiny homes as sheds or RVs.

With easy assembly, you won’t have to worry about each specific design choice for your new home.

However, even if you do opt for a pre-built shed, you’ll be responsible for adding all the required plumbing and electrical services to make your new home livable.

You’ll also need to ensure you have a space to put your tiny home.

This means you’ll likely need to search for land for rent.

Spaces are routinely put up for auction on sites like Facebook Marketplace.

Whether you’re choosing a tiny house, cabin, RV, or shed, you will need to make sure you’re following all the legal requirements for your specific state and area.

Depending on where you live and its zoning laws, your state might prohibit small homes from existing on another house’s plot of land. 

And even if you own an RV tiny home, you might not be able to keep it in one location for more than a specific period of time.

However, once you have your tiny home built, consider using it to bring in some side income.

Some tiny home lovers have been able to rent out their mini homes and earn enough to cover their entire rent in a larger space.
