Storage Shed Kits

Do-It-Yourself Sheds

Storage shed kits are an affordable option for a do-it-yourselfer.  Most of you are familiar with the steel sheds in a box but there are many more shed kits available.  There are sheds built with lumber that are more expensive but probably more appealing visually and there are the easy to assemble resin sheds.

Storage Shed Framing Kit
The unique galvanized steel angles and base plates make erecting this shed fast and easy. This shed kit is perfect for constructing a storage shed or large tool shed.  The unique design means making only square cuts with your lumber.  I have seen this first hand and it is a neat system. You buy the lumber and use their connecting parts. These e-z frame kits on Amazon run between $75.00 and $175.00.

If the budget is tight you might consider a used shed. You could check craigslist, if you have the ability to move a shed, there are always good deals there. Around the corner from me in east Mesa, Arizona is a place called CW Recycling. They buy and sell sheds. They loaded a shed I had bought onto a trailer and a few guys brought it out and placed it in my yard just where I wanted it. It was an inexpensive option and I did not have to lift a finger.
