i dont know man....its going to be a bitch maintaining temps in that...its not insulated so heat will just fly right out of that thing.
you be better off stick building a shed with 2x4's so u can put insulation in it.
it would probably end up being about the same price, but a bit more work.

Temps are going to be tough
Good luck getting appropriate electricity out there- 20A or more through extension cords on your lawn=recipe for disaster
Suppose the choppers scan your hood; your GLOWING shed is going to raise some eyebrows
Neighborhood kids trying to steal your dirt bike will be super happy to take your weed instead
Search warrant rules apply differently to outbuildings than to the primary residence on the property
The neighbors may notice you spending inordinate amounts of time in the shed
Your basement is a better, safer, easier place to grow

Just sayin....

I'm no carpenter but I'd have to agree that building your own shed at those dimensions would be better AND it would be custom. The trouble would be pitching the roof if you were inclined to do so(no pun intended). You'd wanna go with a plastic or metal roof anyways because your eaves would need to breath if wood or your roof would rot. With a plastic or metal roof you could insulate the roof and not worry about rot.

If you do build one it is easy enough to insulate it with paperback fiberglass batting. Then just get some nice cheap 1/4" ply or wallboard and finish the walls. The temps can be dealt with, but it would take either A. alot of work or B. decent chunk of $ for a decent temp controller.

I'm also no electrician but there is ROMEX out there appropriate for outdoors and you could bury it to your new shed. Splice into an existing circuit, though I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you either have decent AC experience or get explicit instructions from someone qualified to do it. (May be harmful/fatal to yourself or others if not done correctly.)

Also there's what Stinky said, much to worry about. I don't know how your property is set up but there's nosey neighbors and possible intrusion/dectection would be your biggest concerns after all that. I'd stick to your house if I were you, but if you want a shed then it's definately doable just risky.

I am going to purchase a grow tent(dont know why i didnt think of it before) and put it inside my garage.

I live on 40 acres so neighbors isnt really a issue.

I've heard nothing but good things about tents like that. I opted to go for building my own clone/mother cabinet though as it was FAR less expensive than a tent version of the same thing. This worked for me because I use a closet for flowering. Which I will post pictures of when my ladies go into flower in the Closet/Cabinet sub-section.

How are the temps in your garage?

[stoned88911]

I got a heated garage.

Here's the one I bought.7' ceilings and I raised it another foot and poured a cement foundation with a drain in the center.Plus its a little cheaper.
