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.

    If you have the skill set I always recommend DIY. I would just have built larger and fewer sheds as well as prepped the base for the concrete. Thanks for your wife’s service. 👍

    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 TH-cam 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!

    I’m building my own shed right now - saw a plastic one for 400 at Costco, figured I could make my own for that but bigger and better fit for my space- I’m a teensy over budget because I went for beefier siding. It’s been good practice too.

    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.

    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).

Usually concrete is used if you plan on having heavy objects inside. Did you price out a wood framed plywood floor? Thanks!

    In California, the material is so expensive I realized building a tall 10x8 shed with an existing concrete slab would cost more than just buying a plastic shed that's already waterproof I guess I would have to anchor it down but wind speeds don't even reach 40mph

    Your math is a little off. For the store bought sheds, you still would have had to build pads for them and anchor them. So that added expense would have made them more expensive that your DIYs. Also your DIYs are way more rugged than the cheap plastic monstrosities.
    Built my own one during Covid. Didn't track costs, but it's an 8x12 in a custom design (with lots of screw ups, I mean bonus features). But it has to have cost less than what the big box stores were charging.

    $8600 for a medical bill for a splinter is crazy. I am from the UK born and bread and we are so lucky to have our NHS which for every anyone who lives here a citizen or not gets free medical treatment, the NHS is the cornerstone of our country and the fact anyone is entitled to medical care, our doctors and nurses are simply amazing. When I think of you guys across the pond and the cost of medical treatment & medical insurance is just insane, to be one of the richest countries in the world but can't give free care for its own people is so bad. Don't get me wrong our NHS is so strained and under so much pressure but that could be eased massively if they only allowed free medical care for only those born in the UK or at least become a British citizen. But the facts are we do offer it to anyone who lives here, but you guys in the US I do remember that Obama tried to offer a free health care but a lot of US citizens did not like the idea which I don't understand, although I do not know all the facts so one thing I do know is to stay out of other peoples issues with there country, its none of my business. That been said it does show just how lucky we are in the UK to have such an amazing institution as the NHS. Great video by the way, keep the videos coming, I am currently landscaping my garden and part of that is building a shed, I guess timber is a lot cheaper here although prices have risen since covid.
