  1. That would not be such a great idea once it rains.

    Agreed.

    I failed to fully explain the idea, which is indeed on the crazy side. If the user does need a ten foot tall or so roof he or she could dig and on the outside of the perimeter place a pipe with holes on the bottom covered with a synthetic permeable fabric. Then using the grade in the lot install a drain pipe to move the water away from the area where the shed is installed. It would be an expensive alternative but at least the user would have the needed head room.

  2. Yeah I could but that would cost a lot because it requires plans etc. If I keep it below 80sqft and (now) below 8ft I can go right up to the property line and don't need any building permits at all. I talked to a architect about the variance a while back and just plans came in at $2k, hence the 8x8x10ft I'm stuck with now.

    Extra annoyed because I after finding this out I thought I'd found a loophole because looked up the definition of height according to city code and they're supposed to measure mid-gable. Unfortunately when I spoke to planning they told me "not for a shed, it's measured at the ridge".

    Oh well I can still make it work it will just look a little weird with a very shallow slanted roof. <_<

    Many shed manufacturers have plans for their sheds that could save you some money. As a somewhat crazy solution you could put at 10 foot high shed by digging a two foot hole in the ground and set it in. ;)
