Having never built anything before, and being rather hopeless at DIY generally, having read the book a few times, I thought it was worth a go.With a few minor issues (any structure that's not absolutely dead straight causes problems later on), it was really straight forward to follow and as it's written in sections it's quite simple to plan a weekend's work at a time.My 10 year old son enjoyed building it with me and other than having a few friends over on the weekends that needed two people to do things, (lifting the roof on, putting cladding on the back wall, and cladding the inside) it was all pretty straightforward to do solo....as long as you're patient and remember to 'measure twice and cut once'.I hardly had any waste material left over which was great too (I did build an excel sheet to figure out how much timber I needed for the whole build - which probably helped as the book only does it section by section).Youtube videos were also really helpful when I got stuck on a few things.I outsourced the door fitting and electrics (the latter the book recommends) but everything else we did ourselves.High points....building the frame. I'd do that all over again - hugely satisfying and great to see it take shape.Low points....filling, sanding, decorating.The book (from memory) said it was a £2,500 project. But that doesn't include insulation, cladding, electrics, decorating, tools etc etc . Just the timber frame alone cost £1,800 in materials (as at July 2022)Overall it came in £9,766 (probably still £5-10k cheaper than a purpose built one), including absolutely everything and I think it's worth every penny.It took 12 weekends (plus an occasional Friday) to complete.One final note, although I was really tempted to install the log burner suggested in the book, because the kids use it to watch TV, play PS4 etc, we decided not to do it. It turned out that it's so well insulated, it's really warm even without a radiator, let alone a fire. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute gem of a book. *by T***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2021* The media could not be loaded. I bought this book in 2019 with the intention of replacing a battered old pre-fab shed with something more robust, and certainly more stylish. In the past I had only ever built simple shelves, and a rectangular area of decking, though my Dad had been a carpenter, and I had helped him on some small things back in the 1970s. The build had been meant to start late February 2020, but the site is on the coast and storms prevented that, and we decided to wait until March. Then COVID19 happened, and we were in lockdown elsewhere. My dad died during this time, and when we were eventually allowed back, in the Summer, we started the build in his memory, with “How to Build a Shed” as our bible. Between two further lockdowns, tiers 1 to 4 travel restrictions, and timber shortages we have managed, as a family, to build a beautiful, sturdy little building, at the same time as sharing a rewarding experience, and it’s all down to Sally Coulthard’s delightful book. I can’t recommend it highly enough; the straight-forward, deceptively simple writing conveys a world of information that has allowed a family of non-builders to construct something we are immensely proud of. The attached film is a record of our adventure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book with One Problem *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2023* Highly recommend this book … which is easy to follow without the waffle … concise well structured … but the author could have included a chapter on apex roof construction not just a pent roof --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/85822711-how-to-build-a-shed](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/85822711-how-to-build-a-shed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
