    Default What's cheapest DIY shed or kit build?

    Hi all,

    Has anyone worked out what's cheaper build a shed from scratch or buy a kit.
    I'm looking at 2.5m by 1.5m size. It's only for storage.

    Cheers
    Tony

    I have one of these for our storage shed, pretty hard to beat the price.

    They are lightly made but once screwed together are very strong.

    Is Colourbond an imitation of Colorbond??? Personally I would tread with caution on this one. The sellers feedback seems to be a good guide:

    Disapointed with quality. very flimsy material. not genuin colourbond
    I bought the shed,not strong at all,no good for Australia wealther condintion,It
    Flimsy & cheap very thin metal, u get what u pay for. Not safe to Leave tools in
    Licence to drill!

    Thanks for the suggestions everybody.
    We've decided on a kit shed, https://www.tradetested.com.au/brows...-rivergum.html
    I think it'll save a lot of hassles getting the sheeting and framing etc.

    Cheers
    Happy renos'
