If you’re someone who appreciates something more when you build it yourself, shed kits are about to become your new springtime hobby. The best part? They’re not nearly as hard as you may think because most of the kits—at least the ones we love—are comprised of pre-treated parts that you can put together in a matter of hours.

Shed kits are also useful for a variety of purposes that go well beyond storing gardening equipment and appliances. In fact, some can double as artist studios, flower nurseries, or even tiny houses. No matter what you use it for, you’ll have complete freedom over its construction allowing you to have a space that's exactly as you envisioned.

If the "kit" aspect of a shed kit isn't for you, rest assured that this one requires zero assembly on your end.
