So you've decided you need a shed, and now you want to do a little "research" online...
I know, it's all good.
You've come to the right place.
I am going to help you find what you need fast and get you on your way to building that awesome new shed.
Even if you are only a "little bit handy" then you are one up on most guys.
This will be a cinch for you to throw up.
Just start thinking about what would work best for you, buying a pre-fab kit from a Big Box store, or looking at a few plans and customizing your own shed.
With your experience you may have more options based on your knowledge.
For all of you that aren't so handy out there you may want to just pick one up at the hardware store on your way home and pay them an extra $100 to assemble it for you.
It really would be worth your while to check out the wide range of selections that are available.
I know, you really wanted to build this shed from scratch, and may feel like you're cheating if you use a shed kit.
On the contrary, you are making a wise decision, and besides someone still has to put it together, plus you can customize it.
What I'm saying here is that the overall finished product is what gives you that sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, not how many pieces of wood were cut and how many nails were hammered in.
One good thing about the prefab shed kits you can buy these days are the wide selection offered and the many benefits that they come with.
You can choose from wood, vinyl, or metal siding for your shed.
Most basic sheds are built mainly from wood as less experience is needed than when working with vinyl or metal.
Some shed kits come fully insulated from the factory which eliminates a lot of mess when working with insulation.
You can buy a self-locking kit that is really easy to assemble and the pieces just fit together like a puzzle.
These models are quite popular as they require no rafters which gives them more room inside.
So what about all the accessories? Well now its time for you to add you touch of personalization.
This is the part where you get to choose how many doors you will have and where they will go.
How many windows there will be, and what way should you have them facing? You may even choose to put in skylights which not only is practical,it gives it a more contemporary feel as well.
Depending on the size of the shed you plan to build, and what you plan to use it for will weigh heavily on your decisions at the planning stage of this project.
If you will be adding accessories, this is usually an added cost.
You will be pleased with how fast & easy it is to install one of these sheds when you buy the kit.
There are so many advantages to it.
Here is just a few: -All of the materials are included, there's no running around trying to find what you need -You are not restricted to any one style because of your limited knowledge of construction -Your materials can be chosen to compliment your natural setting in an appealing way -Shed kits are generally strong, durable, long-lasting and real easy to clean -Over time if you need more room, you can simply throw up another one of these kits, or add an extension to the first one -There are no hidden fees.
These kits carry an all-inclusive price tag so you know what your total cost is the second you walk out of the store.
One more thing...
remember if you don't buy one that comes with a base, you will need to make your own.
I recommend pouring a concrete slab.
This will not only stand the test of time, but will add value to your home.
