    Getting the “go” from the lady to build a shed in the back of the house for only 4 pinball machines.
    - What’s the best company who makes sheds that I may put 4pins in (fabricated/modular types)
    - Best space in dimensions.
    - Anything else I should worry or know about before embarking on this task.
    - Previous posts that have dealt with this.

    Thanks for any advice

    Thanks.
    I’m looking at mini barns/sheds from home depot.
    Has anyone had good success with having a good shed to to keep 3-4 playable machines going at all times?
    Any brand suggestions?

    Quoted from toyotaboy:

    If you do go the shed route, I would:
    * Check the regulations for running power to it. May also want to add a kill switch when nobody is in there.
    * Make sure all seams and cracks are sealed up. Bugs will get in everywhere, especially northern CA.. Worse yet, termites
    * Build up the foundation at least a foot above the ground to make sure if it rains really hard that water never gets inside.
    * I would look into security. A good lock on the door, maybe even reinforcing the door with some steel framing. Might also want to consider adding a cheap wifi camera that sends you alerts when it sees movement.

    Thanks for the info. Going to Home Depot and Lowes to see the different types of models. Going to be nice to have my pins out of the house and consolidated in an area where I can work on them without any bother.

    Quoted from toyotaboy:

    that pretty typical anywhere, but yea check ordinances. Usually don't need any building permit for anything under that square footage, hence why tiny houses are so popular.

    Agree. I checked ordinances and it stated bellow 17ft and 3ft from fence line.
    Just going to house 3 to 4pins nothing too big.
