What shed building material is best?

Depending on the use of your shed, you might want to consider wood and steel for a long-lasting shed, or molded resin for easy cleaning. Wood sheds are popular for their sturdy and stylish options but may need to be repainted to keep in good repair year after year while plastic sheds are a light-weight and low-maintenance option. Many sheds also come with warranties for up to 10 years or more. See each shed’s description for more details as well as photos of fully built sheds and how they can add value to your property.

How do I have my shed installed?  

Always check with your local building authority and homeowner’s association for restrictions on sheds before ordering on BJs.com. Once you’re cleared to build, make sure your surface is level and has met all requirements for the shed’s foundation. Many shed’s on BJs.com are offered as do-it-yourself assembly kits that require simple tools like a drill, ladder, hammer and a person to help you. You can learn more about each individual shed’s requirements in its’ product description.
