ONE OF THE SIMPLEST KITS
YOU'LL FIND!
We've made sure it's easy to assemble.
Each Horizon Structures storage shed kit comes with 90% of
its components PRECUT
"I've been
shopping around and the only sheds available in my area
are from a local "Big Box" store.
The quality of construction and materials is far superior
with the Horizon kit. |
|
Sure,
you can get a shed kit for less but steel shed kits can be
hard to assemble - What if those pre-drilled holes don't line
up? Plus they can scratch, dent and rust.
|
Our
shed kits give you more
Vinyl, or plastic, sheds are lightweight,
more likely to tip over or blow away. Strong sunlight may
bleach out the color. Besides, you didn't really want that
in your backyard anyway. |
Enough
room for a riding lawn mower, 2 - 60 gallon trash cans, the
kids' bikes and more...

THINGS TO CONSIDER
BEFORE BUYING A SHED KIT
Click on each question
for more information
|
DO I NEED A PERMIT FOR A
SHED KIT?
Answer: Whether you need
a permit or not depends on where you live. We strongly recommend
you check with your local building/zoning authorities and/or
neighborhood association to obtain all applicable permits
BEFORE buying your shed kit.
WHAT
ABOUT SITE PREP?
Answer: A shed without a
floor should be assembled on a wood or concrete base (or solid
foundation equivalent). We recommend a shed with a floor be
placed on a level surface such as a 2 "- 3" pad
of crushed stone. This will create a protective barrier between
the floor of the shed and the ground. Extending the stone
shed pad 1' beyond the walls of the shed will provide a drainage
area for roof run-off. The stones will prevent water, and
mud, from accumulating around the shed and splashing up onto
the shed walls thereby extending the life of the structure.
See more information on Site
Prep.
SHOULD I BUY THE KIT WITH
THE FLOOR?
Answer: When deciding whether
or not to purchase a kit with a wood floor, consider local
building codes and restrictions, location of the shed, what
the shed is being used for and your budget.
Concrete Slab: Use as the floor or to
build your shed - with floor option - on top. Most expensive
shed base. If you build your shed on a concrete slab its
classification may change from a "temporary" structure
to a "permanent" structure depending on where
you live.
Wood Floor: Will keep the items stored
inside up off the ground and provide a degree of insulation.
If you're using the shed as a workshop, where you'll be
standing for long periods of time, a wooden floor is much
easier on the legs and feet. Call us at 1-888-44-SHEDS for
information and pricing on upgrading the floor to pressure-treated
wood. CLICK
HERE for some other points to consider.
Gravel: Works best in small sheds. Easy
to install. Ideal if motorized equipment, gasoline and chemicals
are going to be stored in the building because it is a lot
easier to replace soiled gravel than it is to replace a
stained concrete slab. Gravel is also our recommended base
for the shed with the (optional) wood floor. Use 3/4"
crushed blue stone (or equivalent.)
Brick or paver block: With a well-made
foundation of tamped sand underneath, shifting and settling
will be at a minimum.
WILL I SAVE MONEY BUYING
MY SHED AS A KIT?
Answer: Maybe. Buying your
shed as a kit may allow you to get more shed for the money,
so to speak, then buying a comparable pre-built shed. If you've
never built a shed before, buying a kit is the perfect way
to go. You'll save tons of time putting it together - most
everything is pre-cut and ready to go. You can probably complete
the project in a day.
However, if you're an experienced carpenter, you won't
necessarily save money with a kit as opposed to buying the
plans and getting all the components at your local lumberyard.
|
You'll need 5 gallons of paint or stain for siding.
- Use an exterior, latex-based paint or stain for the siding.
- Use an exterior, oil-based paint for doors and shutters.
Ten bundles of shingles will cover the roof.
