Three things to know before you buy

  • 1
    You'll need a level base. Gravel, slab or deck blocks — sized 9′1½″ × 9′1½″. Not included.
  • 2
    Roof boards are included; the top layer isn't. The 4:12 pitch takes shingles, metal or PVC — match the house.*
  • 3
    It arrives as sanded, kiln-dried, untreated spruce. Bare wood has no weather protection, so stain or paint it within the first few weeks — you pick the color.

* Right at the 4:12 line: shingles go on with the standard single felt layer; an ice-and-water shield underneath gives the best protection. See our roofing guide.

In the box — and not

One pallet. Almost everything.

Every wood part is pre-cut to size. Three things are deliberately left to you, because climate and taste vary too much to ship one answer.

Included in the kit

  • Double tongue-&-groove wall panelsSustainably harvested Norway spruce, untreated
  • Roof boards, floor kit & joistsT&G spruce floor on pressure-treated joists
  • Glazed double door, lock & keys4′4″ × 6′4″ dual-pane glass
  • 2 tilt-&-turn windowsFront 2′4″ × 3′ + side 4′5″ × 3′, dual-pane
  • All hardware, manual & blueprintPlus the full video library — build in 1–2 days

You'll add — and roughly what it costs

  • Foundation DIY $250–700 · pro slab $1,200–2,500Level, well-drained, 9′1½″ × 9′1½″. Built before the pallet arrives — size it in the foundation calculator.
  • Roofing material $270–840The 4:12 pitch takes shingles, metal or PVC — match the house.*
  • Stain or paint $100–3001–2 gallons outside, about a gallon inside, and a quart for trims and floors. Try the colors on the 3D model before you buy a can.

* Right at the 4:12 line: shingles go on with the standard single felt layer; an ice-and-water shield underneath gives the best protection. See our roofing guide.

Typical owner-built total: the kit price plus foundation, roofing and stain. Hiring out the base and the build adds roughly $2,700–$5,500.

From our warehouse to your curb

Delivery, then a weekend.

Step 1

Order — on your schedule

Buy now, build later: tell us when you want delivery and we hold the kit. Free shipping in the lower 48.

Step 2

Arrives in 1–3 weeks

One flat-packed pallet, about 1,825 lbs, every board pre-cut to size.

Step 3

Curbside drop-off

The dispatcher calls to agree a window. The pallet is too big for a liftgate, so it comes off by hand — plan on two people for about an hour. Driver-assisted unloading and expedited delivery can be added for a fee; ask us for a quote when you order.

Step 4

Build it — 1–2 days

Check the pallet against the packing list in the first 30 days — anything damaged or missing ships free. Boards interlock tongue-and-groove; no framing skills needed. Manual, blueprint and video library included.

Tight street, steep drive, or an island address? Call before ordering — we'll check the route with the carrier so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

At 80 sq ft this model sits under the 120 sq ft threshold most US counties use, so a permit usually isn't required. Rules vary by county and HOA, so one call to your local building department settles it. Every kit includes a blueprint you can hand them if plans are asked for.
A level, well-drained base sized 9′1½″ × 9′1½″, flat within ¼″. A compacted gravel pad, deck blocks or a timber frame all work; a concrete slab is the premium route but is not required. Most owners do it in an afternoon for $250–$700. The foundation calculator gives you the shopping list and cut list.
The 4:12 pitch takes shingles, metal or PVC — match the house. Budget $270–840 for 138 sq ft of roof area. Roof boards themselves are included in the kit. Right at the 4:12 line: shingles go on with the standard single felt layer; an ice-and-water shield underneath gives the best protection. See our roofing guide.
Most owners finish in 1–2 days with basic tools — hammer, drill, level, ladder. The wall boards interlock tongue-and-groove, so no framing skills are needed. Manual, blueprint and video library are included, and the support line answers mid-build questions.
Yes. Insulate the roof above the T&G boards under your roofing layer, and the floor between the joists. The walls are solid 1⅜″ (34 mm) double T&G spruce with good thermal mass; pair with a mini-split for full climate control.
Yes — most office and studio builds do. Conduit surface-mounts neatly along the solid wood walls with clips, so no in-wall channels are needed and the wiring stays inspectable. Plan the trench or overhead run before the build. A shed under 120 sq ft rarely needs a building permit, but the electrical work usually does — ask your city whether it wants a permit and an inspection.
Free curbside freight in the lower 48. One flat-packed pallet of about 1,825 lbs arrives 1–3 weeks after ordering; the dispatcher calls first to agree a window. The pallet is too big for a liftgate, so it comes off by hand, board by board — plan on two people for about an hour. Driver-assisted unloading and expedited delivery can be added for a fee; ask us for a quote when you order.
Yes, within the factory-verified layouts. Wall panels can be assembled flipped and the left and right walls mirrored, so the included windows and door can sit at either end of their wall — you choose during assembly, at no cost. The layouts marked with a window add the paid double window; you cut that one opening yourself with our instructions. The included windows never move to the back wall, and the factory does not open the pallet or swap boards — every layout uses the same kit.
Call 1-800-590-2508 ext. 1 within 30 days of delivery and the replacement part ships free within 10 business days. The 1-year limited warranty covers manufacturing and workmanship defects.

Environmental commitment

25 trees planted with every purchase.
