Do It Yourself Build Backyard Shed Kits
Does a do it yourself build backyard shed kit make sense for you? If you have basic carpentry skills and some extra time on your hands, a new storage shed can be an extremely functional and economical addition to your property.
Prices vary quite a bit but the best thing about a backyard shed kit is that all the hardware there for you as well as a complete list of the lumber that you need and that can save a lot of time and money.
No, a lot of do it yourself shed kits do not come with the actual wood necessary to build them. However, you do get all the brackets, screws, hinges and that sort of thing which is pretty cool.
You can however, actually get kits that have everything included.
No matter what you choose, you will have to paint the shed as every kit I have ever seen comes with unfinished wood and the paint, stain or whatever you finish it with has to be purchased separately.
Using a high quality finish, although more expensive than a generic economy brand, will allow your backyard shed to retain its beauty and soundness for many years and will be worth the extra expense.
If you are a do it yourselfer and can use a power saw, then build a backyard shed is not that hard and do it yourself shed kits are the easiest way to produce a quality, long lasting shed by far.
Wooden Backyard Shed Kit
I had to replace my lawnmower this summer. I do not have a garage so I just put it under a tree with a bucket over the motor during the winter. Not a great idea, but the wife would not let me put it in the dining room so what was I to do?
A friend suggested I build a backyard shed to store my tools in and I told him I could never afford to buy one and would not even attempt to build one myself.
My friend then told me that there are actually wooden backyard shed kits that have everything you need to do the job yourself. You can even buy a kit that has all the wood precut for you! All you really have to do is just put the thing together.
I have a few Christmases under my belt and I know how €easy€ things are that say €some assembly required€€¦ they are anything but! My friend said if I bought one he would help me put it together.
He also told me how happy my wife would be that my shovel would no longer find its home leaning against the bathroom window or the old engine that I would one day do something with could finally be stored away from the neighbor's site.
Funny my neighbor mentioned the engine! Anyway, I decided to give it a shot and started looking around for wooden backyard shed building kits. There were some at the local home and garden shop but I picked one I found online and had it shipped to the house.
The kit had everything I needed and me and my buddy had it put together in a couple of weekends. I could not convince him to help me paint it so if you do this project yourself you need to understand that all the kits come unfinished so you will have to paint it.
I do not like painting so I paid a guy to do it and when I did the math, I saved hundreds of dollars over a pre-built shed and actually enjoyed putting it together. The project gave me a great sense of accomplishment and the storage shed is a welcome addition to our backyard.
