2x4basics 90192MI Custom Shed Kit with Peak Roof, 2x4

Worked good I modified the size it’s very easy to use I have never built a shed and it definitely made the process easier instructions could be better but then again a lot of it was useless since the size was different it is flimsy at first but as you continue to build it gets sturdy

First off, I'm at best an amateur carpenter with a little common sense and a handful of woodworking tools.This shed kit is great. When I first opened it, I was a little doubtful when looking at the metal pieces and seeing how flimsy they are by themselves. Worry not though. Once everything gets tied together it becomes very sturdy.As a previous poster mentioned, you need to TRUST the measurements in the book. If you follow those, everything will all work out.I bought 3 kits to make the 10x22 shed. One thing to be aware of is this. The 10x22 shed is 11 feet tall! By the time you add some bricks to keep it off the ground and 4x4 runners (which I highly recommend) it gets really tall.One of the kits I got didn't have all the correct pieces in it and I was 24 pieces short. I called the company and they promptly shipped me replacement parts.When you go to build this shed, spend a little more time and be SURE the base is flat. I put three 4x4 runners under my shed and spent a long time making sure they were level all the way down. Time well spent because the rest of the shed went up with ease.Oh yeah, after my comment above about following the directions...on page 13 of the book it calls for 2 pieces of wood labeled 'NN'. Problem is they forgot to put NN back on page 5. Not a big deal since it's easy to figure out the correct length (97 inches), but you'll end up two 2x4x10's short.I also recommend printing out the instructions and then going through and marking out all the instructions that don't pertain to you. Makes it much easier.After all is said and done the 10x22x11 (WxLxH) shed cost around two grand total. That's materials only, not labor of course. Not bad at all. Go price one that size pre-built somewhere.As far as the person complaining they didn't get an entire shed....REALLY???

Ok instructions great clearly made and easy to understand. In my opinion the parts thats that come with it are to me cheaply made, well look at the differences in my pictures you be the judge. Sturdiness well I can’t say not with the brackets that come with this kit because I’ve replaced most of them and will probably change what’s left too.I can also say that most people could probably build this shed with the instructions mostly by yourself but I would not recommend it. I had to take mine all apart except the floor.My best friend came over and with his help the shed is coming out much better than when I tried to do it alone.Understand this is my first time doing anything like this so you will have to judge for yourself if or when you buy this shed kit. Overall for someone that can’t afford getting the sheds that cost mostly over a thousand dollars this kit is for you but wood is not cheap either but at least you can do this at your own pace a little bit at a time. I will try and update this when I’m done..update and I’m not done well being that the brackets that come with the shed kit are proprietary if you damage any you won’t have enough to finish and since my knowledge in angle cuttings nada! I have to order another kit just so I can finish my shed, (more updates soon) I hope🤪 update frame solid super strong for me, the upgrades for the 2x4’s has a made all the difference in my opinion but you should decide for yourself. One important thing you should know not go skimpy with the level perfect or nothing. Eeeeehh “it’s ok shouldn’t cause a problem doesn’t have to be perfect” attitude will go badly will make one more update.Tomorrow I’ll put up some pics to show were we’re at so far.

Just tried this out when i built another shed. On my last shed i cut and built the trusses from scratch. We were working up in the mountains this time and I thought this kit would save time and hassle for the trusses, but it actually was the opposite. I can truly say i HATE this product. Building my own trusses would have been much faster and easier, and would have turned out better. And much cheaper. The instructions included were confusing and worthless, I ended up throwing them away and just figuring it out. The brackets themselves were very thin and flimsy. I was expecting something in a heavier gauge, made out of steel, instead of the thin aluminum they turned out to be. But I still decided to try them. All they were was a big pain in my butt. If you know how to build a roof save yourself time and money and skip this. If you don't know how then find a friend who does.We built the shed up in the mountains where it can snow 10 feet so we used 12 inch spacing on the walls and roof. These kits are designed for 24 inch center so we needed 2. We marked the header every 12 inches and used wood screws to attached the hardware. Then we tried to put the wall studs in each bracket but had no luck. The thin aluminum brackets needed to be tweaked a little to get the wall studs to fit. We ended up taking the brackets off the header and putting them on the studs first, then reattaching them to the header. Thank goodness i used screws instead of nails.Due to the snow load i didn't feel comfortable with the "no cut" idea of attaching the individual roof beams so we ended up cutting them at the necessary angle anyway to get the most wood in the metal bracket. I ended up shooting a nail into these boards to attach them to the header as well since i didn't trust these flimsy brackets. All in all, this kit was flimsy, had horrible confusing instructions with too many pictures for different size sheds, and not enough written text. It was expensive, hard to use, took much longer, and I didn't trust them to stand up under heavy snow. I am sorry I ever tried these.
