Is assembly included with your shed kits?
No. Best Barns only offers "do it yourself" (DIY) shed kits. If assembly is required, customers must hire their own contractor/construction company as needed.
What does a Do-it-Yourself kit mean?
Best Barns DIY kits provide pre-cut components designed for the homeowner to assemble. Depending on the model and accessories ordered some cutting may be required.
Do you offer instructional videos on how to build your sheds?
We do! Visit our How-To Headquarters page to watch video content detailing a complete step-by-step shed build, featuring expert tips, tricks, and time-saving insights from our professional builders.
What tools do I need to assemble this shed kit?
No specialty tools are needed. The most common tools needed are a drill, ladder, hammer, saw, tape measure, pencil, safety glasses, square and 6′ level.
How do deliveries work?
Large DIY kits from Best Barns are delivered curbside with liftgate via a common carrier. Although the driver may have a pallet jack, placement and movement of the delivery beyond the end of driveway is the customer's responsibility. We recommend having additional help at the time of delivery.
Our retail partners (Home Depot, Lowe’s and Menards) also offer a ship-to-store option (customer makes arrangements to either pick the kit up or have the store deliver). This option may be helpful if you are located in a remote location or have specific needs that a common carrier cannot provide.
How long does it take to ship once the shed kit is ordered?
Once we receive the order it normally takes 5-7 days to ship the item.
Can I use a nail gun?
Best Barns' kits are shipped with loose nails for framing by hand. You may choose to build using a nail gun but the nails for your nail gun will need to be purchased separately.
How long does it take to assemble?
Once the floor is complete, level and square, it typically takes 2-3 people about 2-3 days to complete. Individual skill and size of kit will affect these times.
What if I have a question during construction?
Call Best Barns 1-800-245-1577 between 8AM to 5PM EST or 724-866-4357 after hours and weekends.
Will I need to paint the kit?
Yes. Siding comes primed and will need to be painted with exterior acrylic latex paint within 30 days of construction.
What does prepped for vinyl mean?
Some models are designed so the homeowner may finish with exterior siding other than LP Smartside paneling. Most customers opt for vinyl siding but other exterior siding can be applied such as stucco and wood lap siding. Exterior siding is purchased separately by homeowner.
Where can I find instruction manuals?
You may download the instruction manual for your model here.
How many shingles will I need?
Regarding information pertaining to the number of shingles needed for your specific model, please reference the corresponding instruction manual.
How large are the pallets?
Most kits are delivered on 2 pallets and typically measure/weigh 4ft. W x 7ft. L x 30in. H at 1,300lbs.
