Is Self-Assembly Right for You?

Weighing the Benefits of a DIY Build

If you decide to assemble your shed yourself, you can make significant cost savings whilst taking on what can be a satisying project.

We provide everything you need for a smooth building process, but it's important to understand what's involved to decide if it's the right choice for you.

What to Expect

  • Delivery: Your shed will arrive at your home flat-packed.

  • Support: For standard models, we provide detailed, easy-to-follow instructions. If you need a little extra help, we are happy to offer remote support via a phone or video call by prior arrangement.

  • Tools: We supply all the necessary screws, nails, and small components. You will need to have your own tools.

What's the Saving: Costs of Self-Assembly vs. Full Installation

Opting for self-assembly offers a significant saving on installation costs.
