It's Construction Made Easy!

It's Construction Made Easy!

The Simplest Do-It-Yourself Design

No need to stress out about the building process. This framing kit is so simple that all you really need is basic carpentry skills, some lumber and a few tools. Just use standard straight cuts to size your wood, follow the plans, pound in some nails, and voila, you have a storage shed, tool shed, mini barn, animal shelter or wood shed … it's up to you!

No Angles To Cut

Pre-angled brackets are specially designed to attach to standard 2 x 4s, holding them perfectly in place and eliminating the need for special mitered cuts or precise angle measurements. No worries, the brackets automatically take care of all the tough work for you!

Universal Roof Design

This kit features a standard peaked roof with a 7–12 pitch, creating the popular A-style look.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Each kit comes with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions that take all of the guesswork out of the assembly process. And a complete materials list is also included so you'll know exactly what lumber you'll need before you get started.

Corrosion-Resistant Brackets

All of the 24 angle brackets and 12 stud brackets included in this kit are made from rugged 24-gauge galvanized steel to prevent rust and corrosion. The result is a frame that's built to last!

Cost Efficient

This do-it-yourself kit is very cost effective when compared to pre-fabricated sheds and buildings and is also very easy to transport, as you can carry the box right to the building site. Add your own choice of lumber (not included) to customize your design.

Add On to Customize Your Size

Multiple kits can be combined to increase the size of your building. One kit constructs a 7ft.W x 8ft.L building. Two kits can be used to build an 8ft.W x 14ft.L structure, or three kits can be combined into a 10ft.W x 22ft.L building.

  1. Does this come with a door kit.

    1. No door kit

      Helpful?

    2. No it doesn't, but building your own door is no problem.

      Helpful?

    3. No, it has no door kit. You will have to cut one out, frame with 2x4's and supply your own door hardware.

      Helpful?

    4. No, this universal storage shed framing kit does not come with a door kit.

      Helpful?

  2. con you add longer 2x4 also how will i know how to order the side paneling and the roof material

    1. yes to longer
      simple put up frame and measure!

      Helpful?

    2. Yes, you can use longer lumber, you will just purchase additional 4' x 8' sheets and will need to cut them in order to evenly piece them...

      Helpful?

    3. Yes, it is possible to change the dimensions of the final product by using longer lumber. Also multiple kits can be combined to make a larger structure. 2 kits =8' x 14' 3 kits = 10' x 22'. Part of what you will get with the kit is a materials list to help you determine the materials that you need to purchase.

      Helpful?

    4. Yes you can use longer 2x4s to change the size by a couple of feet. As for the siding, just measure after you assemble the frame as all siding comes in 4x8 sheets

      Helpful?

  3. Flooring

    Does floor come with it? What do you do.

    1. Flooring, floor joists and brackets to secure the floor joists are not included in the kit. I put a floor in my 10' x 22' shed. I started by elevating the base by placing 10' pressure treated 4" x 4" posts for the base to sit on. Then I used 10' 2x4's as floor joists. I spaced them 16" on center and laid 3/4" plywood over the 2x4's as flooring.

      Helpful?

    2. NOT FLOOR COME WITH,PREVIUSLY I HAD CONCRETE FLOOR REAY.

      Helpful?

    3. This is the brackets and plans to build a shed it does not include any lumber or flooring. You need to decide if you need one depending on what it is being stored. We would recommend using green treated plywood for flooring.

      Helpful?

  4. Can you add a window to this kit?

    1. looks like no window kit but with a few 2x4s some nails and a level you could frame one in really easy i'm not a carpenter but I could figure it out

      Helpful?

    2. Yes, I put 2 windows into my shed. The distance between the studs along the sides is 2 feet. The window is most easily installed in the opposite end from the door as a wider than 2 foot window can easily be accommodated at that location.

      Helpful?

    3. You could add a window, however there is not a kit available to add one.

      Helpful?

  5. What is the distance between studs?

    1. I don't know why the staff guy's answer had 9 unfavorable votes to a single favorable vote (I just made it two). He's absolutely right. Look at the picture: with four framing units, you have to span 32 inches for each of the three gaps to stretch 96 inches (eight feet). With eight frames (two kits) you'd have seven gaps, two feet each, to span the 14 feet -- that's 24 inches on center. With 12 frames (three kits), to span 11 gaps, two feet each, to span the 22 feet -- again, 24 inches on center.

      Here's another way of looking at it: If you made the one-kit shed with studs 24 inches on center, the shed would only be six feet long instead of eight feet.

      Helpful?

    2. The metal angles that the kit consists of are in sufficient quantity to allow for the standard 16" on center between studs.

      Helpful?

    3. The distance between studs will depend on what size shed being built. When building the 7 x 8 ft(1 kit), the studs will be 32 inches on center. When building the 8 x 14ft(2 kits) and the 10 x 22ft(3 kits), the studs will be 24 inches on center.

      Helpful?

  6. How long does it take for 2 people to build this shed?

    1. 2 days !

      first day cut all the wood into size

      second day is building...

      Helpful?

    2. This will vary depending on your skill level and the size of the shed.

      Helpful?

  7. Is the front of the shed 7' or 8'? One kit unit.

    1. 7'

      Helpful?

    2. The front of the shed on the entrance side is 7 feet wide.

      Helpful?

  8. Adding door

    Can add two doors to the 7x8 shed

    1. Yes you can, you just need to frame in for the opening sizes. With two doors though, both will be probably small. I don't like 2 building doors that match up because over time, they settle and don't match up.

      Helpful?

    2. This framing kit is designed for one 6' x 4' door. You could design it with two doors with one on each end however, the kit only comes with hardware for one door.

      Helpful?

  9. I want the roof to overhang. How is that done?

    1. Depending on the size of the building the roof will either be flush with the side walls or overhang up to six inches. The end walls are designed to be flush on both the front and the back. If you want an overhang greater than what is designed determine how many inches of over hang you would like and then measure up on the end rafters the width of your roofing sheet (plywood I'm assuming) minus your overhang. Make your marks on the end rafters, pull a chalk line tight across the marks and snap the chalk line. Now you have a line that you use to align the top edge of your roofing sheet. For the front and back wall overhang determine what you want that measurement to be and mark that on the underside of you roofing sheet. Snap a chalk line between the two marks and line that up with the end wall as you lay the first roofing sheet. Once the first sheet is nailed down then you can measure the length of the next sheet and add the overhang length. Mark that on the sheet and cut to fit. Always remember to stagger the joints in your roofing sheets. As an example if the building is twelve feet long start with an 8' piece of plywood. The second piece would be 4 feet long. On the second course going up the rafter your first piece would be 4' and the adjacent piece would be 8' long.

      Helpful?

    2. The extension of the roof would be a personal preference modification of the manufacture design.

      Helpful?

  10. How many studs and sheets of plywood are needed for 1 shed kit?

    1. depends upon size of shed. Included instructions give a material list.

      Helpful?

    2. It depends on the size of shed you are building, the material lists and plans are part of the cost that are included in this framing kit.
