Shed Kits For Sale
Shed Kits for sale are for the do it yourselfer, that
doesn't mind a little assembly on site. If you want to
add a storage shed on your property, you have three options – you
could purchase one already made, have a shed custom built, or you could consider different shed kits to build
your own.Obviously of the three, a do-it-yourself project is going to be
the most affordable.Now, if you have concerns about complexity of a
project such as this, keep in mind that yes, some storage shed kits are quite involved but others are
actually very easy to follow, even for someone without any building
experience.
If you decide shed kits are best for you, before you decide to build
a kit, several things would need to be considered and decisions made. For instance, you need to determine the best location for the shed, followed by the right
type of foundation. With that information, you could start searching
for shed kits for the appropriate size needed. As an example, if you plan to build a garden shed or one you could take with you when
moving, you would need a skid foundation whereas if building a larger shed or something you would leave if
moving, the foundation should be a concrete slab. For this part of the project, you may need to get assistance from a
contractor.
Next, based on the storage shed kits you like most, you would decide on one and then
purchase the required materials and tools according to the provided instructions. Keep in mind that most people think high-end power tools are needed to build a storage shed
but with most of the shed kits sold today, building something strong and durable could be accomplished with a
power saw, level, hammer, measuring tape, nails, screws, and a screwdriver. If you have a power saw great but if not, instead of spending more money to buy one, you
could rent a saw from a local equipment rental company.
One important note is that if you decide to build a wood storage shed, regardless of the
shed kits interested in, make sure you purchase treated lumber boards for the exterior so they can withstand
the elements and not be at risk for wood rot or termite damage.Then for
the roof, we recommend corrugated iron or asphalt shingles.To save money
on the doors, you could build them without windows or check with a salvage yard to find the right size doors
already made.
A key consideration for shed kits would be that prior to building, check your local
building requirements to see if a permit is needed. Typically, a smaller, freestanding shed could be built without a special permit but each
state is different. In addition, if you live in a neighborhood with
a homeowner’s association, make sure you can construct a storage shed since some do not allow single
buildings to be erected regardless of size.
