Cozy finished interior

Finished shed interior — included in every kit.

Smooth tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings. Solid wood floor on most models (Shiba, Gardener and Optima ship without one: add our floor kit, or build your own from local-store lumber). No drywall, no framing in the way — start using it the day you finish assembly.

Prep your base

Start with a level, well-prepared base — gravel, pavers, or a suitable deck. Our foundation guide walks you through it before the kit arrives.

Before you ask

Wood shed kit FAQ — the questions we hear most.

Short answers to the things buyers check first. The full details live in our resource center.

How much is shipping and how is it delivered?

Shipping is free to the lower 48 states — no promo code needed. Kits ship palletized by freight and arrive in 1–3 weeks. You'll get tracking and a delivery-window call. The pallet is too big for a liftgate, so plan on two people to unload it — driver-assisted unloading can be added for a fee — ask us for a quote when you order.

Are the sheds insulated for year-round use?

The walls are solid tongue-and-groove Norway spruce. For year-round comfort in hot or cold climates, most owners insulate the roof and floor and add a mini-split.

What kind of foundation do I need?

A level, well-prepared base is essential. Gravel, concrete pavers, or a suitable wood deck can work for many installations. See the foundation guide for model and site requirements.

Do I need a permit?

Usually not for smaller sheds, but requirements vary by location. Please check with your local building department before ordering to confirm what applies to your property. If documentation is required, contact us and we'll let you know what's available for your model. See our permits & zoning overview.

How much does a wood shed kit cost?

SolidBuild shed kits start at $3,995 for the compact models and run to $17,995 for the largest sheds. Every kit includes a finished smooth-milled wood interior, no drywall needed, and shipping is free to the lower 48 states. Browse all models and prices.

How long does assembly take?

Most sheds can be assembled by two people with basic tools over a weekend, although build time varies by model and experience. Kits arrive with pre-cut parts, step-by-step instructions, and an interactive 3D assembly guide. Watch the assembly videos.

Can I add electricity to the shed?

Yes — after assembly, an electrician can add power and lighting using surface-mounted conduit, which keeps the solid wood walls intact and makes the wiring easy to inspect and modify. Read the electrical installation guide.
