Q: Do I need a foundation for my shed?

A: Yes. Some sheds will come with a foundation kit, and others will not. This is to give you a choice for what type of floor you would like to use. Unless otherwise specified, all sheds will need a foundation. The foundation kits come with the instructions for installation and the foundation frame. You can always make the entire foundation yourself, its just easier to have a pre-made structure to work with.

Q: Can I add windows or skylights?

A: Some sheds have the option to purchase windows or skylights. Look in the related items section of a product page to see if there are any accessories available for your shed.

Q: What type of material makes the best shed?

A: That depends on your criteria. Vinyl sheds really only need to be washed for maintenance. They are fade and rust resistant and don't show scratches. Metal sheds are stronger, and have the option to paint them as your decor changes.

Q: Can I put this together myself?

A: In regards to ease of installation, these are designed with the general consumer in mind. For most sheds you will still need more than one person to help install it.

Q: How long will it take to put this together?

A: This varies based on the shed. Very small, portable sheds will likely be under an hour, whereas large metal sheds will take much longer. If you plan appropriately, and have people there to help, installation won't be difficult.

Q: Can I lock my shed?

A: A lock will not come with your shed, but many have a built-in place to add your own lock. See the specific product description to find out if that shed is designed to be locked.

Q: How do portable sheds work?

A: Portable sheds offer an option to use a shed without needing to built a permanent foundation. These will still need to be anchored to the ground, much like a camping tent would, to keep wind and weather from disturbing it.
