| I mean RIGHT NEXT to the house! We want to put a metal shed in our yard but the only place would be up next to our house (brick). There is a two foot overhand on the house. Do you see this as a problem or a place where rats can breed or insects can collect between the shed and house or should there be a space between the two and, if so, how much? If this isn't correct, what do you suggest? |

| I'd suspect that if you can't clean the space between the structures every now and then, only attaching and sealing the shed to the house would keep something from breeding there. |

| In most jurisdictions, a shed requires a building permit. The permitting authorities may not allow a shed to be installed in the manner described here. |

| "...most jurisdictions, a shed requires a building permit." Most places make an exception for sheds below a certain size (square feet), especially if they do not have any power run to them. |
