Is it easier to buy a shed or build one?
Building an outdoor storage shed allows you to customize your shed, from the material of the roof to the handles and windows. However, it will require a lot of sourcing when it comes to tools and materials and takes a considerable amount of time and labour to build. Buying a shed eliminates the need for as much labour and planning. A pre-built shed will simply need to be assembled and often come with a floor framing kit, predrilled holes, and easy step-by-step instructions. You can select from a variety of professional designs, builds, and sizes, from small vertical storage sheds to large garden sheds with windows and reinforcements.
How hard is it to build a store-bought shed?
Store-bought sheds are generally easy to assemble and come with step-by-step instructions. Most come with a floor frame kit to use as a strong foundation.
What's the best roofing material for a garden or storage shed?
Garden storage sheds should have sturdy roofs that can withstand snow and sunlight and prevent water accumulation. Steel-reinforced roofs are long-lasting, weatherproof, and don’t require much maintenance. On the other hand, shingle-style roofing can be easier to install and replace and less expensive to repair. These roofs are also heavier, so they may be suitable in areas prone to strong winds.
