Shed Kits – A Simple Way to Buy a Garden Shed Online

 

o you want to add more storage space, create a backyard workshop, or finally organize your garden tools?

Sheds are a convenient way to do just that, and now you can buy a shed online from Amish Outlet Store with our newest and affordable product offering: Shed Kits.

The creators of these kits designed them to make building a garden shed easier than ever, with pre-cut parts, detailed instructions, and flexible options to suit your space and needs. Whether you’re a DIY novice or simply want a fast, functional solution, this new line offers a straightforward path to quality. It’s easy, affordable, and a great way to bring handcrafted Amish quality to your backyard.

What’s Included in a Shed Kit?

Each shed kit includes everything you need to build the basic structure: pre-cut wood components for the walls, siding, doors, and trim. The manufacturer prepares all the pieces for easy assembly and designs them for a smooth, intuitive build.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect:

  • Pre-cut components for easy assembly
  • Primed siding (ready for your exterior latex paint of choice)
  • Double doors and windows (varies by model)
  • Hardware included (hinges, latches, etc.)
  • Optional floor kit available
  • Roofing materials not included – customers will need to source shingles or metal roofing separately

How Long Does It Take to Set Up?

While setup time can vary depending on experience and help, most homeowners can assemble their shed over a weekend with the help of 1–2 extra hands. These kits are designed with beginners in mind, so no specialized tools or construction experience are necessary.

Each kit comes with clear, step-by-step instructions that walk you through the process, making it manageable even if this is your first big backyard project.

Tools and Supplies You Will Need for Your Project

Before you begin assembling your shed kit, it’s important to have the right tools and materials on hand. While our shed kits come with pre-cut components and detailed instructions, there are a few items you’ll need to provide to complete the job.

Here’s a checklist to help you prepare:

Materials You May Need:

  • Roofing materials – Choose your own shingles or metal sheeting
  • Exterior paint – The siding comes primed, ready for your custom color
  • Floor materials – If you didn’t purchase the optional floor kit, you’ll need to supply your own flooring

Tools Required for Assembly:

  • Tape measure – For accurate layout and alignment
  • Drill with #2 square drive bit – Essential for driving screws
  • Hammer – Useful for securing trim and hardware
  • Step ladder – Especially helpful for roof and upper wall assembly
  • Speed square – Ensures precise corners and cuts
  • Level – To keep everything straight and aligned
  • Chalk line – For marking straight lines on large surfaces

 

These tools and supplies will make the build go smoothly and ensure a sturdy, professional-looking result. Even if this is your first time tackling a shed build, a little preparation goes a long way in making your garden shed. If you’re missing any of these tools, you can find them at any local or big-box hardware store.

 

 

Can I Customize My Shed?

Yes—but within the options offered. The shed sizes are pre-determined and listed clearly on our website. Each comes with primed siding, so you can paint it any color you like to match your home or garden. While you can’t fully custom-build the design, the kit offers enough flexibility to make the finished shed your own.
