Building a Storage Shed - 3 Common Misconceptions About Storage Shed Kits

1. You need prior woodworking experience.
Storage shed kits are easy to assemble, with no previous experience required. Kits come complete with step by step instructions and all the parts you need, some even being partially built with side panels provided. No specialist woodworking tools are required, just items you find in a typical toolbox. Two people working together should be able to assemble a basic shed in a weekend.

2. Kits are basic and low quality.
This is a common misconception which is simply not true. There are a wide range of kits available in a variety of sizes and designs, from simple garden sheds, to workshops, garages and even sheds that resemble houses, complete with siding and shingles.

3. Kits are available only in wood.
Storage shed kit construction materials have changed. Wooden sheds remain a popular choice, now available in many varieties, grades and colors. Increasingly popular are metal storage buildings, constructed of steel or aluminum. They are easy to assemble, the most inexpensive option and treated to resist rusting. Plastic sheds are also available, being very easy to construct, waterproof and weather resistant, often coming with lifetime warranties.

I think that you will agree that storage shed kits can be a great do it yourself project, but you still need to do your homework. You should think about the size and purpose of your building and any requirements you may have for shelving, access, and lighting.

Look at examples of storage sheds kits in magazines, on the internet and, where possible, try to find a finished shed that you can go and see. You want to look at the quality of the materials provided as well as how the finished product looks.
