This is an estimate of the cost to build each of my 4 shed plans in various sizes from 8×4 to 16×32. Building your own shed can save you 40-60% of the cost of buying a kit or a ready made shed.

Notes
- These costs are approximate and vary with the price of materials in your area.
- I haven’t worked the numbers out for the Lean-To Style Sheds because there are so many length, width, height and overhang combinations. But their construction is the closest to the Regular Gable sheds so the costs will be similar for the same height shed without overhang.
- Tall barn prices don’t include a loft or overhang. If you want overhang it will be closer to the Deluxe Gable cost.
- Deluxe Gable costs are based on 12:12 roof pitch. A more shallow pitch will be cheaper.
- The smaller shed prices are more accurate than the larger ones because the waste is more predictable.
- The more careful you are to use your scraps and plan your cuts, the lower your final cost will be.
