Choosing a garden shed kit online


We have 3 categories of wooden garden shed kits:

1. Cedar Sheds
2. Garden Sheds
3. Shed Kits


Each category represents a different and unique manufacturer's product catalog. All the sheds in each category share certain features that separate them from the other shed categories.

Cedar Sheds are made by Cedarshed Industries, and have the following considerations:
- clear rough beveled old growth cedar siding. Average thickness is about 1/2".
- SPF (spruce, pine, fir) interior studs and flooring.
- mid grade roof shingles
- very simple to assemble with large prefab panels and few loose pieces





















Garden Sheds are made by Outdoor Living Today, and are very similar to Cedar Sheds. The difference is the following:
- tight knot, tongue and groove type siding
- veneered plywood between the stud and siding
- all cedar materials including interior studs
- high grade roof shingles
- mostly easy to assemble with similar large prefab panels, but more loose pieces














Shed Kits are traditional shed kits with lots of loose pieces and longer assembly time:
- much stronger finished product
- heavy duty materials
- shake shingle siding and roofing
- some cutting and carpentry skills suggested
