Instant Framer Kit Barn Style Shed Kit

very thin metal but gets your pattern started.

Follow the directions exactly, and you will build a beautiful, solid and weather-proof shed! Great product with great plans!

the kit is good but it is a whole lot more work than I anticipated. If you don't do repairs or wood working in general, be prepared to learn it all very quickly. You have to know a little bit of carpentry and construction and make choices on the correct wood to use, what to use for the roofing and what to use to waterproof the shed. Not for the light-hearted. Overall the shed is very sturdy and solid but it is a little crooked here and a little tilted there. It is more than a simple some-assembly-required kit

Seems great & easy to use! Can’t wait for nicer weather to put it together!!

If you are patient, and can follow directions this kit is not at all bad. Pre-cut and label your pieces before starting. The layout of the included plans are dead- on accurate despite there being multiple shed sizes within the instructions that can throw you off. Get some help, proper equipment and in two day you can build it (8x7').The bracket notches that support the trusses are too tight. I had to use a belt sander on wood to make it fit. This is a legitimate complaint from other users.

I was surprised to see that the instructions wanted angled cuts. So I cut them. I put them in the brackets. The brackets didn't show where to set them, and since I'm a beginner I just put the screws in. The longways wood doesn't fit in the metal, either, as noted by other customers. My husband had to cut the metal on each bracket. After standing up all the parts that I put together we noticed that it looked all wonky. Nothing matched although all my cuts were the same. Nothing was square. It was more of a trapezoid. Thank god we have an appointment at the marriage counselor next week.The floor is a concern to me. Laying the lumber sideways, doubling it up, then toenailing it in, scares me. I reinforced it with stands. My husband just shook his head. Sometime DIY isn't the best idea.

Amazon sent to me Gable Roof shed kit #503 and not Barn style shed kit! However, I still like the Gable Roof shed kit!

After cutting lumber to sizes required was able to assemble my shed in a couple of hours.Caution front doorway is not stable according to the instructions. Coming from construction worker background need to put in a proper header 2) 6x6 nailed together for header
