To select the wood sheds we feature below, we used our lawn and garden expertise and familiarity with top brands like Heartland and Outdoor Living Today to inform our decisions. Keep in mind that a midsize shed can easily weigh a ton or more, but many retailers offer installation for an extra fee. They also typically come primed and ready to paint. Most sheds from online retailers are sold as pre-cut kits and arrive ready to assemble (some models come with the doors assembled and hung to save DIYers time). If the wood shed you want doesn’t include a floor and you don’t have a slab of concrete in your yard to build it on, plan to tack on $400 or more for that infrastructure, depending on the shed’s brand and size. Large wood sheds cost anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 or more. If you’re buying an eight by four lean-to shed, expect to spend up to $1,000. Wood sheds are often more expensive than their plastic or composite counterparts to begin with, especially if you’re looking at those constructed from solid wood, like cedar.

If you have large equipment to store, we recommend wood sheds with extra wide door openings that span 64 inches or more. Wooden sheds come in virtually as many styles as regular homes, but the most popular are gable (A-frame), gambrel (also called barn-style or Dutch barn), lean-to, and saltbox. A small wood shed averages about 450 cubic feet a midsize shed offers about 1,000 cubic feet of storage and a large sheds can be 1,200 cubic feet or more. Storage capacity is typically measured in cubic feet, rather than square feet. Dimensions generally range from eight by eight feet (or less) on the small end, up to 12 by 24 feet. Wood sheds come in a variety of sizes-some are best suited for smaller tools, such as those used for gardening, while others are large enough to house bikes, lawn mowers, and outdoor furniture. Here are the most important things to know about wood sheds before you buy. Wood sheds are more durable than resin or metal sheds and can last years if properly maintained.
