is it CHEAPER to buy a SHED or to take the DIY route?

I’m about to build 5 sheds in my home backyard and compare the price of DIYing it, or buying a prefabricated shed, or to hire a professional contractor to build them for me. I got quotes from contractors, and did comparative pricing on prefab sheds. In the end, I decided to build them myself and I’m going to break down for you the cost and timeframe.

2 points to make here. 1 That was an excellent build, better than most modern track houses. 2 don't forget you have all the tools, many people don't have that stuff which will make the job much harder and/or costly. Great video

I also noticed the tools right away. Luckily, there's usually a hardware store or similar that will rent tools, but that can be expensive, too. You need to be ready to work with them as soon as you bring them home.

Absolutely, would prefer to DIY, particularly since we are retired. We paid a contractor to build the shell of our small vacation home, and the plumber and electrician to rough stuff in. But my wife & I (with little experience) finished the interior. A fabulous project over 3 summers and we saved a ton of money. Our friends love the t&g pine interior. And we have a buyer whenever we decide to sell. All you need is a bunch of tools, some imagination and KZbin if you need some advice. And we had a lot of fun doing it.

If I may (I'm anything but a pro): Depends what you plan to do put inside and I know it's not as sturdy but, for the roof, I prefer ondulated plastic. Cheaper, easier to install and, more importantly, gives you light inside during the day... Also, I prefer the slope of the roof to have the upper part in the front. That way rain goes on the back and it gives you a better opening in the front.

The thick poly sheds are amazing. Mine are still going strong after many years and heavy snow loads. The flimsy ones break easily, but are still pretty tough. They never rot or rust, so I like them. I built a shed style washroom using 2x4s and Hardy boards with a metal roof and it's still holding up, even unpainted. Hardy board is amazing stuff. DIY or prebuilt sheds can take almost the same time to construct, plastic sheds still have many metal parts that have to be screwed or bolted together. Wood is much easier to work with, and can be faster if you use dimensions that maximize the sheet materials.

Less than a year later, massive warping. Buyer beware.

It's interesting that you chose to build 5 small sheds rather than one big one. Is there a reason other than filling the space? Wouldn't your cost come down quite a bit if you built one shed? I could barely fit my mower in any one of them. Do you not have zoning laws in your city? In most suburbs you're only allowed one out building and there are very specific rules about how far from the house and fence they must be. The quality of your work is very good but I'm curious about the utility of such small sheds (seem short too).

I wanted to start a woodworking business. So I needed a 12x32 shop. I shopped around for one and the cheapest I could find was around 18k for a bare bone shed. That's with no electric, insulation or garage door. if I wanted that included it would have cost me 30k. I can't afford that. So after some research and checking prices I realized it be cheaper to just build my own. So I got the concrete slab pour at 4 inches thick for $900, the insulation for $400, the electric for $150, the lumber and hardware for around $1500. I had the metal for the roof and siding already from a demo job. But if I had to pay for it then the ballpark price would probably be around 2k. So for under 5k and 3 months I got my dream shop. it's definitely cheaper to build it yourself and a rewarding experience! if you can recycle, reuse and repurpose materials that will help a lot on saving money.

One tiny tiny fact, you have to already have the tools on-hand. If not, the cost of purchasing the tools is added to the price of the DIY shed. Those were some pretty fancy tools. So yeah, if I needed ONE shed of somewhat a small size and DO NOT have all them fancy tools, yeah, purchasing a shed might be the way to go. If I pressed for time (for some reason) and need a decent sized shed in a day or two, yeah, I'd hire a contractor. If I'm a contractor and have building materials and tools, yeah, DYI may be the way to go.

In the uk I wanted a belt and braces shed 16 x 9 foot shed in 3 x 2 inch framing with one inch tongue and groove floor and roof , with a 3/4 inch shiplap outside finish . All the timber was to be tanalised and the shed was wrapped in roofing membrane with three anti uv polymer windows . Only one company seemed to do this and was called beast sheds who had a website where you could design the shed you wanted . The total price was £3500 which I thought was expensive but I was going to take it as this design was the one I wanted . Then Covid hit and I was furloughed for 4 months so I decided to build my own , there was the odd thing I would have done differently but I was very pleased with the result and I saved myself £2000 less the cost of a nail gun which I now have for other projects like an arbour I built for £130 which was stronger , bigger and much more pleasing to the eye than the one I saw at a garden centre for three times the cost . It has put me on a journey where I have just completed some alcove cupboards in birch ply that are bespoke to my own design that I was quoted £4500 but even though I bought a £500 track saw and pocket hole jig , I did the job for £2000 . When I have used tradesmen in the past I find them expensive and no better end product and often worse than what I can do myself. My next project is fitted wardrobes in birch ply quoted £5500 but now I have a track saw with my gained knowledge of building the alcove cupboards I believe I can bring them in around £1500. The one big saving is labour but also care because it is you doing it for yourself so the job has to be right. Give it a go if you think you can do it and KZbin is a great teacher.

Similar for me, also in the UK. Wanted a garden room but from blocks, not timber, and a warm roof. There were extensive groundworks to do (footings for 3 retaining walls, lowering ground level by 1m across a 15m x 6m area, and footings and pouring of a 9m x 4m raft slab) ... but that's just digging, barrowing, dumping and gruntwork. None of the quotes I got were less than 44k GBP (!!!) so decided to have a go myself... with my only DIY experience being the changing of light bulbs. So far, I've done it all (buy I did get a few concrete lorries and pumps for the footings and slab) and have got it to a point of being ready for 1st fix inside and cladding on the outside. I reckon my total build cost will come in at just under 18k and that includes a lot of (quite nice and resealable cordless tools, including a nail gun like you, that aren't really for DIY use). I tell people who ask that it shows that if someone like me can do it then pretty much anyone can. Saves a lot of money but, for me, and more importantly, it keeps my mind occupied and it's good fun... especially choosing and buying a new power tool!

The best sheds I've seen! This was an expensive video...$$$ up the wazoo! You 100% did the right thing! I think your wife could have removed that splinter...did you say $8k??

Pretty cool project, just not sure about pouring concrete straight onto grass and using shingles on a low pitch roof.

@wty1313 2 ай бұрын

The bottom plates don't look like treated lumber. If not, since it is contacting concrete, and more so because the concrete will be exposed to rain, etc. the bottom plate will likely rot within a few short years. Ideally, there should also be a vapor barrier under the plate - it can be something as simple as plastic sheeting. It's not super critical for something like this though.

So buying them is the way to go then. My question would be how do the HomeDepot style sheds where you have to assemble them yourself, vs design and build your own. You were comparing to a plastic shed.

I DIYed because the dimensions for my shed wasn't on the market and it had to fit on the side of my house where i wanted it 3 1/2 feet by 20 feet. If I could have bought it I would have, was decent project, but i agree most contractors are not good quality anymore, the ones that are usually are way to expensive as their time is valuable

I watched you pour concrete directly on grass and immediately knew, “this guy is a pro, and this is the way”. All that natural fiber will help keep the “foundation” solid for centuries!!

lol, I hope it’s a sarcasm)) all this “natural fiber” will durn into dust and a bunch of holes that would cause a major fail. I met this a Mexican contractor that pours it directly onto grass with the same “natural fiber” bs.. 6mo fail rate 100%, but he can no longer be found once he takes the money.
