Storage shed
 

Any suggestions or ideas for a Storage Shed at a Courtyard Villa?

Build one from a contractor ?
Buy a plastic one ?

Want it to store outdoor equipment and not take up space in the garage.

You may want to read your deed restrictions.

Looks like a pending annomous future complaint.

It's a courtyard villa. No one will see it.

Bogie is correct! Most deed restrictions do not permit structures that are NOT attached to the house. More likely that your storage idea would need to be constructed as physically attached...AND...require the approval of the Architectural Review Committee.

If the deed restrictions for your District are not handy, you can look them up here - as well as review the External Deed Restriction Standards, too: VCDD Community Standards

Good Luck
 

Probably forbidden. A "free standing" plastic one is almost surely out of the question. Anything else might require building code approvals that would probably be withheld.

Wanna bet? lol

Again, it's a courtyard villa, no one will see it.

And it's this attitude...
 

that is a problem. You bought here...knowing there are restrictions. If you don't like them move.

Rumor has it that some of the deed restriction trolls,
are planning to use drones to spot violations from on high! :1rotfl:

after reading some of the less than charitable replies, the answer is clearly to buy a plastic one so if some nosy nellie decides to report you, you won't have spent much and it's easy to dismantle. many people have them and they can not be seeen.

I guess the question is what are you going to store? There are storage benches that folks use to store seat cushions etc. They are also patio seating. i can see at least two of these in my neighbors back yards. This would seem to be acceptable as outside storage.

To be sure that a storage shed would be allowed in a courtyard villa yard, call the Deed Restrictions office and ask them. Better yet, get the ARC to give WRITTEN permission.

NIMBY.... and the manner in which you reply tells us that indeed people are placing plastic/metal sheds in their yards. If true then someone is not doing their job .

Those nosy nellies you speak about understand and comply with the deed restrictions they agreed to and signed. They did so because they recognize that ultimately without such deed compliance this community is going to look trashy in a short period of time

So the uncharitable faction are not the residents abiding by deed restriction agreement but those breaching said agreement

There are basically two main reasons people moving to The Villages 1) golf 2) deed compliance.

If you traveled Florida you recognize that often you have to pass thru a bad area to get to a good area. With the community of villages ( developments)containing deed restrictions that unpleasantness is avoided.

Thinking like yours distracts and diminishes. Its unfortunate but we are all at the mercy of our neighbors and lately I am hearing some disturbing stories of neglect and abuse.

Bonnevie I do not like to be this direct but you have hit a nerve and that never is attached to most residents who live here.

Personal Best Regards:

I think the OP was stirring a bit......the OP wouldn't have purchased without reading the deed restrictions.....nobody does that right? :)
