There are many manufactured sheds and kits you can buy, but building your own will not only save you money, you can design it to your liking.
Sheds are pretty simple structures, so building one yourself should not be an issue.
Always start with a good set of plans.
Take your time to study them and make any modifications you might need.
Tools required are very basic to many households.
Like mentioned earlier a good set of plans is fundamental.
All plans should contain a material list, this will give you a good idea of what this should cost to build.
Remember to check with your building department before construction.
You might have to get a permit, and find out if there are any other requirements.
Also choose your location carefully, make sure you don't build on top of electrical, water lines, etc.
, If these lines should ever need repair, your shed might make it difficult to get to.
Make sure the location you choose has good drainage and it does not poodle.
If you do not feel capable doing this yourself, consider hiring a contractor.
Once you have your plans, you can show them to the contractors, and get a couple of bids.
Once you have your estimate, and your estimate for your material you will have a good idea what this project will cost.
Here are some of the steps involved in building a shed.
First you will start with a foundation.
The most common foundation is the skid foundation.
Always choose pressure treated material, this will protect it from rot and decay.
Next step will consist of the walls, once the walls are in place the next step will be the roof.
First you will install your rafters, next the roof decking and then the shingles.
Last you will add all the details, such as trim, door, windows, and paint.
