I’m tired of paying for a storage shed i figured i could build one for about three or four months rent. It doesnt have to be hurricane rated or nothing lol. just something with a roof over it and can accomodate a 10x10x10 frame. I’m just trying to get a rough estimate maybe even a design plan for it. I’m not exactly handy with wood but i can use any power tool and have friends to help. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
You could buy a prefab shed at the Home Depot for like 400 dollars.

500-600 without any windows

At least $1000. with good materials. Double it if you hire it out.
Now for a cheaper way to go would be going with a metal shed which doesn’t last as long and easier to break into.
osb isn’t made for exterior unless you side it. This cost more to prevent the osb sheathing to rot in the weather. Even painting won’t last.

If you ‘stick frame’ it with 2×4′s, and side with an inexpensive sheeting like OSB… lumber, roofing, hardware and concrete piers/concrete should come in @ $450.
Before you decide on an exact 10×10 shed, consider at the size of materials to maximize the lumber. An 8×8 shed would save you a lot of material, because you would’nt have much waste from the standard dimensional lumber lengths.
Good luck!

Try one of the storage shed kits below. You don’t have to be very handy to construct these. They are very simple.

Please look at this site http://www.homedepot.com And type in "storage shed" at the search rectangle. Please give the points to Ryan….It was his idea If you decide the answer is correct.

Depending on the area in which you live I’m sure with several friends helping and some beverages to go around you can erect you a building in a weekend and have a blast doing it. I would go to your nearest home improvement store and tell them the size of the building your wanting to build and have them print you out an estimate of materials that you will need. This will give you a rough estimate on how much the material will cost you give or take some errors along the way and how much they have to drink. One rule is only reward the drinks after at least 70 percent of the work for that day is done, otherwise there is no telling what the end result might look like
Hope this helps and have a good time doing it.

First thing you need is a deck. So you get some 10′ 2×6 – and knock those together in a frame – one around the outside – and then one every 2′ across. Then get that up off the ground a little – dig a small hole in each corner – a couple in the middle – put a little concrete in the holes – doesn’t take much – and then put a stub of a treated 4×4 post down onto the concrete and up to hold up the deck – level as you go. And when you’re done – level and triangulated (square) – you deck it with maybe some 5/8" plywood.
So then you have a decking – and then just see what you like around for a design for the building. They sell these at building supply places – and you can go in and rob the design. You can build an entire 10′ wall in one piece – and stand it up and screw it to your decking….
Just make sure you have plenty of overhang on your roof when you get there – plenty of pitch too.

I just built 2 of them! One for a work shop and one for my motorcycle. I used better materials because I wanted 3/4" plywood floors and I used 2x4s for the framing with 2x6s underneath. each one cost just under $1000.
If you just want it for storage, a prefab with 2x3s and chipboard would be a lot cheaper.
Just remember most local codes call for a permit and footers for anything that is over 100 sq ft and over 10 feet high. (I figure you already know that but I had to say it anyway.
Good luck

I have done it for $800, easy if you do not insulate, or anything like that(which you do not need as it will not be holding anything a storage unit holds that will freeze, or burn in the sun).

a 4’4"X8′ shed cost me around 250 material including everything treated wood, boards, nails, glue, caulk, paint, door accessories. i think a 10×10 will cost you around 500 depending on what material you buy. make sure to plan everything before you start. the roof shoud slope for the water to rollover, and put lots of heavy treated wood in your floor since i guess that would be your foundation and the shed should be elavated like 4 inches or so from the ground to keep air flowing under and avoid bugs infestation

If you are looking to build a shed you will need some type of plan. It doesn’t matter if you are a novice or a pro, you need guidelines. There are many sources to obtain free shed plans and blueprints. If you are a novice and the word blueprint scares you, relax. These are simple detailed drawings that show everything that you are going to need to know to build your shed. They are no different than a travel map. It simply tells you that you need to travel from one step to the next, and what you need to get there.
There are absolutely a lot of shed plans that you can choose from depending on your preference of what you are planning to build.
You can surely save a lot of money, as long as you have the skills, knowledge and the right materials.For shed plans, you can always ask at any hardware stores, lumber yards and woodworking supplies.
