How do I build a shed?

We understand that building a shed might seem like a big task, but don't worry—it’s easier than you think! Our sheds are designed with ease of assembly in mind, and thousands of customers have successfully built their own in just a few hours. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or a first-timer, you'll have everything you need for a smooth and hassle-free build.

 

All panels in a shed are pre-assembled and so it’s very much a case of screwing the panels together… making building ours much easier than any other shed.

 

Here’s how we make it simple:

  • Comprehensive Instructions: We include step-by-step instructions with every shed, and you can download a copy at any time here.
  • Installation Videos: For visual guidance, watch our installation videos here. A good example of how easy it is to assemble then take a look at our Apex Shed assembly video here.
  • All Fixings Provided: No need to hunt for screws or nails; we supply everything you need.

 

Tools You'll Need: Basic tools are all that’s required for our sheds—typically just a hammer, screwdriver, drill, and spirit level. Some of our larger buildings (like cabins or pergolas) may need additional tools, so check the instructions for your specific shed.

 


Quick Installation Guide:

  1. Prepare the Base – Make sure your base is level and sturdy.
  2. Assemble the Floor – Follow the instructions for joining the floor sections, adding the bearers for extra support.
  3. Fit the Walls – With modular panels, positioning your doors and windows is flexible and easy.
  4. Add Gables/Trusses – Install your gables or trusses, depending on your shed style.
  5. Roof Panels – Attach the roof, checking if pre-assembly is needed for larger sheds.
  6. Apply Roofing Felt – Simply roll it on and secure it.
  7. Finish with Bargeboards – Install the finishing touches for a polished look.

 

Top Tip: Don’t forget to seal the windows for weatherproofing!
