Cedar Greenhouse Shed Kit - 8ft x 12ft

It depends. There are a number of factors that could impact the time to assemble your storage shed kit. Weather, your skills with tools, number of helpers and the size of the shed kit. Cedarshed wood storage shed assembly times vary by size (1-2 people, Do-It-Yourself, all materials and tools are on site and assuming a prepared foundation)

• Small (4x2 ft to 6x4 ft): 2 to 4 hours
• Small (4x2 ft to 6x3.5 ft): 2 to 4 hours
• Small-Medium (6x6 ft to 6x9 ft): 4 to 6 hours
• Medium (8x8 ft to 8x12 ft): 6 to 8 hours
• Medium-Large (10x12 ft to 10x16 ft): 8 to 12 hours
• Large (10x20 ft to 12x16 ft): 12 to 16 hours
• Extra-Large (12x20 ft or larger): 16 to 24 hours

To assemble a Cedarshed Industries wood storage shed kit, you'll need a set of tools to handle the pre-cut cedar panels, hardware, and optional components like windows or lofts. Cedarshed's kits are designed for DIY assembly, and their manuals typically specify required tools. Here's a concise list of tools needed for assembling their sheds.

Tools Needed to Assemble Cedarshed Wood Storage Shed Kits

Essential Tools

• Tape Measure: Check dimensions and alignment.
• Level (2 ft or 4 ft): Ensure foundation and walls are level.
• Cordless Drill/Driver: Drive screws/bolts; 3/8in bit for pilot holes.
• Screwdrivers (Phillips, Flathead): For screws; drill bits can substitute.
• Hammer: Nail flooring or trim.
• Step Ladder (4-6 ft tall): Reach higher sections (larger sheds).
• Carpenter's Square: Ensure right angles.
• Utility Knife: Cut roofing felt or caulk tubes.
• Safety Gear: Work gloves, safety glasses, sturdy shoes.

Optional but Helpful Tools

• Power Miter Saw/Circular Saw: For custom cuts (minimal with pre-cut panels).
• Socket Wrench Set: For bolts/lag screws (larger sheds).
• Pry Bar: Adjust misaligned components.
• Caulk Gun: Seal joints/windows for weatherproofing.
• Stud Finder: If attaching to existing structures (e.g., lean-to sheds).

Notes

Cedarshed kits include pre-cut panels and hardware, simplifying assembly. Smaller sheds (e.g., 4x2 ft) need fewer tools; larger sheds (e.g., 12x20 ft) may require the full list, especially with features like lofts or porches. Foundation prep tools (e.g., shovel, tamper) are excluded, as a level foundation is assumed. Check the kit's manual for model-specific needs.
