The national average cost to build a new shed on your property can range from $17 to $24 per square foot for new shed construction, or from $1,500 to $15,000 for a completed project. Costs can vary based on whether you get original construction or purchase a prefab kit and hire a pro to build it for you.
Hereof, is it cheaper to buy or build a shed?
Along with being less expensive, you can build your shed according to your schedule, which can be significantly faster than having a professional build it for you. A normal shed costs about $300 while hiring a contractor or builder can cost you up to $3000 with labor, materials, and additional costs.
The shed floor is built with pressure treated 2×6 and pressure treated 4×4 lumber. Cut two 2×6's to 12′ long for the band. Cut ten 2×6's to 9′ 9″ long for the floor joist. Nail 3 1/2″ nails through the 2×6 band and into the floor joist.
