- 54 sq ft interior

- 7′2⅝″ walls
- 4′8″ × 6′4″ dual-pane glass double door
- All dimensions ↓
Four things to know before you buy
- 1You'll need a level base. Gravel, slab or deck blocks — sized 7′5¾″ × 7′5¾″. Not included.
- 2Roof boards are included; the top layer isn't. The 4:12 pitch takes shingles, metal or PVC — match the house.*
- 3It 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. See our Paint and Stain Guide.
- 4There's no floor in this kit. Build one from a local store with pressure-treated runners and plywood, with the floor finish of your choice, or order our floor kit, made for this model.
* 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.
What that adds to the budget →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
- Sustainably harvested spruce
- Free shipping to the lower 48
- DIY build, 1–2 days
Size & specs
Every dimension, drawn to scale.
The measurement to get right first is the foundation — 7′5¾″ × 7′5¾″. The inside floor and every other number are below.
In the box — and not
One pallet. Almost everything.
Every wood part is pre-cut to size, but this model ships without a floor. Three more things are deliberately left to you, because climate and taste vary too much to ship one answer.

Your shed, step by step.
Order — on your schedule
Order now, receive it later: tell us when you want delivery and we'll hold the kit until then. Free shipping to the lower 48.
Arrives in 1–3 weeks
One flat-packed pallet, about 1,000 lbs, every board pre-cut to size.
Curbside delivery
The carrier will arrange a delivery window with you. The pallet is too large for a liftgate, so for standard delivery, plan to have two people available to unload it by hand. It usually takes about an hour. Driver-assisted unloading and expedited delivery are available for an additional fee.
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? Get in touch before ordering — we'll check the route with the carrier so there are no surprises on the day.
Customer reviews
What shed owners say.
Turned our Shibas into perfect backyard offices
“We ordered two Shiba sheds to use as backyard offices and we could not be more pleased - we are absolutely thrilled! (You can see ours in the pictures - craftsman green with burgundy and yellow trim) We have a three-bedroom house, but we both work from home, and we wanted to be able to use all of our living space for living and have separate spaces for working. We researched EVERYWHERE and everything we found other than SolidBuild was either cheap and awful, or super expensive small houses that were far more than what we needed. Enter the Shiba. When it arrived, we were so pleased with how solid the shed is. We put them on concrete pads, added mini-splits and floors, put shingles on the roof for extra protection, and painted them to blend in and fit our decor. The sheds are comfortable, super bright inside with the window, warm up and cool down quickly, and really are our own little retreats. My husband has his desk and his peloton with plenty of room for shelves and other furniture, and I built the bookshelf wall I've always wanted with a mini-fridge and other amenities. The Shiba is more than big enough for a small home office and can be made completely comfortable for year-round use. We could not be happier and if we could give SolidBuild ten stars, we would! ”

Verified buyer · 20th Mar 2023Very satisified
“The website was great and really answered all of my questions. I ordered a small 8' x8' shed and it was available to ship immediately. Within 4 days of ordering, it was delivered to my house. It took 3 adults half a day to put it together. The hardest part was deciding where I wanted to put my windows. Overall, the quality of the wood is really great - nicely finished and well made. It was a really fun project to do. Once you got in a rhythm, it went really quickly. I am thrilled with my shed. I'm using it as an outdoor office and installed a wall unit a/c and ran power to it. I had an issue with the windows closing but the customer service was amazing and walked me through how to fix it. Very pleased with this shed. Good quality, customer service was very personalized, and it was a fun project to put together. ”
