Get a material list and have it bid out. In Raceland I got quotes from Lowes, Home Depot, Dufrene Building Materials, Robichaux Lumber and Lockport Farm Market. Lockport Farm Market, 2nd smallest, was the cheapest. Mine is 12'x20' on a pressure treated deck and it ended up costing me right at $3200 after everything was complete. LP Siding, Archetectural shingle roof, 12" Overhangs, door hardware, soffit, nails, screws..... I didn't go "cheap" since you can see it from the road. |

I am also in the market for a wood frame shed with floor. I have been seeing those premade ones forsale for around 4k delivered.... was thinking about building my own if there would be a decent amount of savings.

might be worth looking at these plans to see how they compare to yours and if you might like something better https://www.google.com/search?q=plan...Address&ie=&oe=
talk to your local lumber yard to see if they can hook you up with a discount but in most cases your not spending enough money to get a reduced price you can save a lot of money and labor by going with a simple tin roof over framework rather then using a plywood and shingle roof |

Knowing me I will end up not being square in the end! Every deer stand I have built only looks square because I was able to make up differences with the exterior plywood! Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk |

yes they are just walls and a frame so its bolted onto concrete slab that you pour, or can be bolted to a floor you build, or even simply anchored straight to the ground with a dirt or gravel floor if you wish.
this shows how they put one together over a gravel base https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=441UbErRSAU Last edited by keakar; 12-07-2015 at 11:52 AM. |

I can tell you they take alot of shortcuts. For instance. No ridge beams. No Ceiling Joist, no collar braces, low pitch roof = hot as hell, single top plate. It took me 2 weekends to build mine. I did a 7on12 pitch, don't go more than that. I paid $3200 for mine, off the lot would have been about $3800 not including any type of shelving. I have a workbench built on one end and a double loft on the other. I can also store stuff on top of the ceiling joist. Included in that $3200 was a trip to Harbor Freight where I bought a level, some clamps, a 21° nail gun, air hose and a 3 gallon air compressor. Also my sub floor is glued and nailed. I plan to be in my house a long time, I wanted it to look good and last. |
