Garden sheds are a must have for most homeowners nowadays. There is a need for a place to put all of the tools and the lawn mower along with the Christmas decorations. However, professional shed building and installation are beyond the means of many budget conscious homeowners. There are many do-it-yourself sheds on the market today.
The plastic garden shed is a very popular shed style to install for the homeowner who enlists the help of one or two others for a day. Plastic sheds are available from most garden centers nationwide. They come in prefinished designs and colors and in sizes small enough to just hold a riding mower to ones large enough to hold a small car.
The shed will come in several boxes needing a truck or large SUV to haul it depending on how many square feet the finished shed will be. Typically small hand tools such as a shovel, screwdriver, pliers, adjustable wrench and utility knife will be needed during installation. Choose a level spot in the yard to install the shed. Level any bumps or depressions with a shovel. If installing on turf, mow it as close to the dirt as possible first. A floor may be available for an additional cost for the shed model chosen.
Typically a metal framework will need to be assembled where the shed meets the ground. Follow the detailed instructions with the shed and be sure to get it perfectly squared. Lay out the panels in their location of installation. Keep track of small hardware parts. It is easy to lose small screws and things in the yard. Panels may slide or click together. Follow the instructions realizing that an “L” shape will provide more stability. In other words the instructions may advise to work from a corner out so that any wall under construction will be supported from tipping over.
The panels that hold the doors upright will take the most stress from daily use. Be sure the panels that hold the doors are properly supported to take the weight as the doors swing out. Installing a plastic floor is usually accomplished by clicking together small pads of a plastic material that fit together like a puzzle. Three people working together can erect even the largest of plastic garden sheds in a few hours.
