How much does it cost to build a shed by yourself?

Question

How much would it cost to build a garden shed by yourself? I see some already built garden sheds but they want around $5,000.00 for a small shed.

Can I build one of those small sheds cheaper than $5,000.00 if I do it myself?

How much does it typically cost to build a garden shed?

Answer 1

The cost to build a shed will depend on the size of the shed you're building. But yes you can certainly build a shed for less than $5,000.00 if you're good at carpentry.

I built a 5x8 shed for $800.00 and I did all the work myself.

The bigger the shed the more it will cost you in materials.
