If you've been wondering is it cheaper to build your own shed, you'll discover that yes, it is less expensive to build your own shed than to purchase a pre-built shed. That is at least if you have all the tools required to build the shed. Typically, it won't take many specialty tools to build the shed.

In theory, when considering is it cheaper to build your own shed or to buy a premade shed, the self-construction option is the least expensive means of obtaining a shed. However, there are some variables to consider that might actually make building your own shed more expensive. First, if you don’t have the needed tools you’ll instantly add a good chunk of change onto the cost. Regular tools like hammers and screwdrivers can be purchased for a small amount of money, but if you need to pick up circular saws, table saws, and other power tools you’ll end up paying several hundred dollars more. If you’ve been looking for a reason to pick up these power tools than by all means spend the extra money, but if you want to go with the least expensive option possible, the need to buy these tools may greatly inflate your budget. If you decide to use instructions for a shed you obtained through the Internet instead of buying a kit, you very well might accidentally make a wrong cut or mess up along the way. You can limit your possible mistakes by “measuring twice and cutting once,” but even then it’s possible to accidentally make an error. If you make an error cutting wood you will need to return to the hardware store, make subsequent purchases, and then return home, all of which will cost you extra. So keep all of this in mind when it comes to saving money on your shed build and installation.

The same can be true if you go with a local contractor to build the shed for you, but going with a contractor is expensive. There really are no cheap shed builders when compared to buying a pre-made shed or a shed kit. If you have the experience and the time to set aside, you can easily add all kinds of features to your shed. You can add in windows or insulation, which allows you to use the shed as a workspace during the colder months. You might even want to add electricity for future projects. There is no limit to the kind of customization features you can add to your own shed. Of course, this will increase the cost of the project, but at least you’ll be able to have the exact kind of shed that fits your needs, and not some basic shed that is designed for the masses.
