Are Shed Kits Worth It? Most shed kits include the raw materials to build a shed and basic instructions to follow. The idea is that you save money on the labor by doing all of the work yourself. The idea sounds good on paper, but when homeowners ask us, “Are shed kits worth it?” — the answer is resoundingly no!

On the surface, the proposition sounds great: you just need to put in some hard work, and you’ll save tons of money.

— You’re buying a shed kit to save money, but the raw materials themselves are often highly marked up for homeowners. After all, that’s how the shed kit companies make their money. In almost every case, if you were to buy these materials yourself, you would get far more than what the company sells you. This is one of the main reasons that people start to wonder, “Are shed kits really worth it?” See the elite-quality building materials every Glick shed uses. The Savings are Really Minor — Considering all of the time invested and headaches tolerated, you’d expect to save quite a lot of money by going with a DIY shed kit. The truth is that after the material markup, the savings are pretty minor. To most people, it’s not worth the hassle and the risk of something going wrong. — Considering all of the time invested and headaches tolerated, you’d expect to save quite a lot of money by going with a DIY shed kit.

Won’t Have the Professional Look — While practicality may be much more important than style for some homeowners, you ultimately do want your shed to look attractive. A DIY-built shed likely won’t have the clean cuts and connections that expert shed builders will do. Expect a DIY shed to look a little rough around the edges. Plus, if you do want an upscale style, putting luxury touches on your shed — such as transom windows, cupolas, vents, and more — will likely be much too challenging.
