DIY Storage Shed Kits
Most of our sheds can be custom ordered as a DIY shed kit for assembly on-site. If for any reason installing a completed storage building into the backyard is not an option or if you are simply a handyman at heart and would like to try your own skills, then one of our shed kits might work perfectly for you.
Please Note: Since our non-standard sheds need more building skills, we do not offer all of our shed options in our DIY Storage Shed Kits. If you are unsure if you have the skills needed to assemble a DIY storage shed kit, speak with a sales rep today!
Call (717) 442-3281 to find out if a DIY Storage Shed kit is for you.
Q&A on Building a Storage Shed Kit
How much time will it take to assemble the storage shed building kit?
Erecting the shed kit should take one to three days depending on your level of expertise.
What do I need to build a barn or shed kit on my site?
- A hammer (power tools work great)
- Three-inch nails or screws
- One and three quarter inch nails or screws
- Tape measure
- Screw gun
- Hand saw or sawzall (for just a few cuts)
- Sledge hammer (optional)
- Utility knife
- Small speed square
How many people are needed to assemble a Storage Shed Kit?
- We recommend at least 2 and at times 3-4
- This will depend on the size of the garden shed kit
What if I have problems assembling the prefab kit?
Normally we try to help our customers as much as possible, especially if it is a matter of helping to figure out where certain material goes on the building. Keep in mind, you are responsible for correctly constructing the shed if you purchase a kit, but we can offer direction. (Prior construction experience is recommended.) If there is any uncertainty about whether or not you will be able to assemble the storage shed, consider one of our build-on-site options and we will send a team to assemble the building for you.
Does Sheds Unlimited offer 2 Story Sheds and Garages as Kits?
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer our larger buildings as customer assembled kits due to complexity of the buildings. However, if you are looking for a two-story prefab garage kit, we recommend speaking to one of our office staff to find out the price for Sheds Unlimited to come to your location to build a two-story shed or garage on site.
Single story garages can be bought as kits, but depending on the size we may recommend having our Prefab Garage Team assemble it for you.
Why Choose a Prefab Kit from Sheds Unlimited over an 84 Lumber or Home Depot kit?
Sheds Unlimited is an Amish-Mennonite family-owned company and builds each prefab kit to the highest standards. Each building is carefully constructed with quality building materials and will outlast almost any metal or plastic sheds.
How Much More is the Cost of a DIY Storage Shed Kit
DIY Storage Shed Kits are the same price as a regular shed. We simply partially assemble the shed kit and send it as a package for you to assemble. If you wish to have Sheds Unlimited assemble the shed kit for you there is an extra cost from 25% to 40% depending on the type of storage shed or prefab car garage you wish to purchase. The prefab cost is also added to any options on the building. In addition, there may be extra storage shed kit shipping charges depending on your location.
When to Choose a DIY Storage Shed Kit?
- If your storage shed site is inaccessible
- If you simply love working with your hands
- Save hundreds of dollars by assembling DIY storage shed kits versus Sheds Unlimited doing it for you
- To reduce storage shed delivery charges. If you live in Long Island, NY, you might save big on a DIY Storage Shed Kit

Shed kit prices can be found on each of the following pages. Visit the Wooden Storage Shed Prices, or Classic Garden Shed Prices.
Please note that fully assembled buildings and storage shed kits are the same price. This is due to the fact that storage shed kits from Sheds Unlimited are typically assembled in the manufacturing facility. The walls are temporarily put together as though the building was to be delivered as a unit. This allows us to be sure that the parts are properly assembled and also allows us to paint the garden shed kit. Since the DIY shed kit is painted in our facility, it should only need some touch up paint after it is assembled on your property.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with ShedsUnlimited. Everyone from our salesman, Andrew, to the construction manager, Gideon, down to the three carpenters who constructed our shed on site, Leroy, Chris and Junior Blake,… did an excellent job of creating the shed just the way we wanted it. I am appreciative of their patience while I was making choices, and their respect for my time and property. My shed was scheduled to be built in the time frame that was promised. The crew arrived from out of state on time and worked efficiently in a synchronized manner to build the shed on our pad. The men were very respectful for the surrounding property as well. What a pleasure to receive what was promised without any glitches. Read more “Quality build with quality materials”

I had a great experience with Sheds Unlimited. Nate did a really expert job of fitting the shed through a very tight space. He maneuvered the shed through my driveway, around my garden, and into… position on a bed of gravel. Read more “love my new shed”

He introduced himself and was loaded with tips and advise for me. it was a true pleasure to deal with him and the entire company. Read more “great experience”

Just had our second building delivered and love it! Our driver, Nate, did a spectacular job with the delivery that was in a tricky location. He was super friendly and switched to Plan B with… a smile on his face and without blinking an eye! Our first building, a workshop, was built on site and the crew was incredibly efficient, working from 7 am to 7 pm, ending up with a top quality building. They are the best! Great prices, excellent quality. Perfect overall experience both times! Read more “Second as good as the first!”
