Three things to know before you buy
- 1Plan a level base. A gravel pad, slab or deck blocks sized 12′1″ × 10′1¼″ — the foundation is not part of the kit.
- 2The roof boards come with it; the roofing layer does not. The 3:12 pitch takes shingles, metal or PVC — match the house.*
- 3Protect the wood in the first weeks. The spruce arrives sanded, kiln-dried and untreated — stain or paint it soon after the build, in the color you pick. See our Paint and Stain Guide.
* Between 2:12 and 4:12 lay shingles over two layers of felt or an ice-and-water shield. See our roofing guide.
See every measurement →Estimate only, not an order: we ship the kit and add-ons; the foundation, roofing and stain come from your local store.
- 1-year warranty on parts & workmanship
- Free shipping, 48 states
- DIY build, 2 days
- Sustainably harvested Norway spruce

Customer reviews
What shed owners say.
Solid experience
“The shed kit is really nice. The wood quality is impressive. We had no damaged pieces. All the door and window glass arrived intact and survived the unloading process my broken-armed spouse and the delivery driver devised between themselves. It is really easy to build the actual shed, though in our case, diy construction of a pier and beam foundation and insulated metal roof took weeks, not days. We ordered a Bristhol shed and it was delivered really quickly. The delivery driver was super helpful too. The printed assembly directions have some updates at variance with the videos and we were able to get clarification quickly by emailing customer service. The shed kit is really nice. The wood quality is impressive.”
Verified buyer · 30th Jun 2024Would Do It Again
“The shipment was well labeled and organized as was the manual. I hired my landscapers to pour a slab and construct, while I painted the exterior and clear stained the interior. The windows and doors are well made and clever. We installed a core 10 roof that rusted in a couple weeks. I use the lovely bright space to write in and filled it with refinished furniture . Awesome product.”
Verified buyer · 28th May 2024A beautiful design. Well worth the time and money spent
“Built up the shed on a packed gravel pad with a 6” circulation space. Insulated both beneath the floor and above the roof. Added a 7 ft. x 10 ft. wood deck in front of the shed which increased the utility of the shed. The site preparation, decking, the insulation, painting and roofing cost more than the shed. The precut wood parts fit like magic with plenty of extra parts which were used to augment the sidings. The assembly was quick and easy. The parts were easy to recognize from the drawings and the part ID labels. The style was modern and attractive. . Improvements are needed on the supplied hardware parts. The screws were weak and some of the locking hardware were not fitting well. Overall the whole project turned out just as planned and the results were quite satisfactory.”
Verified buyer · 21st Jan 2024Beautiful!
“The shed is just what we wanted! It adds an elegant and functional design to our newly landscaped yard. I hired a professional carpenter to assemble it and it took him to 2 full days.”
Verified buyer · 9th Jan 2024Easy to build with 2 people! Beautiful and so much fun to assemble.
“Easy to build with 2 people! Beautiful and so much fun to assemble.”
Verified buyer · 26th Dec 2023Great product my wife loves her new studio.
“Great product my wife loves her new studio. Once the foundation is complete, the building can be constructed in a day by two people. The only exception would be the roof which can take longer. I chose composition shingles, which was probably a mistake since they trans mid heat to the interior of the building unless you insulate before, you nail on the shingles. If I would do it over again, I would probably use a steel roof with an air gap between the roof and the ceiling panels. Overall, the building experience was positive. The helpline was always available and knowledgeable. The delivery was on time, and the materials were perfect. The only suggestion I would make would be to have the option of an extra course of wall boards to make the ceiling a little bit higher for tall people and give more clearance for ceiling fans. I found the installation of the door, the trickiest part of the process. All in all the process was pleasurable and successful.”
