I am looking for a kit that has the hardware and plans and I purchase the lumber. I don't want the metal Arrow version with 10,000 screws. I have looked online but not really seeing anything. Anyone have any ideas?

I've never seen a kit like that. Doesn't quite make sense to me what you are looking for.

Home Depot has an 8x12 that comes with hardware and most of the lumber. I’ve had mine for about 5 years. Good shed that’s pretty easy to put together.

Had this shed also, the only problem I had was the beams on the side of the roof rotting after a year. This can be fixed by using treated 2x4s there instead. Had it up in a weekend. I believe it cost $1000

I bought the 2000 screw and bolt galvanized frame, aluminum exterior 10x12 from Lowes. My son and I built the base of treated pine and slapped it together over a couple of weekends. We took our time and yes, it is a pain with all the screws but we were happy with the result.

Are there really that many dumb asses that can't draw up a simple floor plan to build a shed? WTF young people. Use that thing on your shoulders. Good God. And people wonder why our country is going to shite.

I think your the first to figure out that the lack of quality built sheds is the leading cause of decline in our country.

Geez man you don't need a kit. All you need is a pencil, paper, and your noggin to knock out a plan.

Here is one I finished recently:

Sometimes you have to build to code if over a certain square footage...

Still shouldn't be a problem. Guess young people want more hand outs. Used that thing called a brain. With the internet, hell, it's all there. frick! this just pisses me off.

It is really easy to build a shed. For one thing you can just go to Lowe's or HD and take pictures of theirs. Then copy it.

Now some one is using the head. It's that easy people. Kits are for lazy people that will be extra cheap and have a shitty project.
