What This Calculator Does
The Shed Cost Calculator estimates the cost of buying and installing a backyard shed based on size, material, and 2026 pricing. Enter the shed dimensions to get cost ranges for prefabricated sheds, custom-built sheds, and DIY kits.
Sheds provide valuable storage space for tools, equipment, and yard supplies. Prefabricated sheds are the most common and affordable option. Custom-built sheds offer maximum flexibility but at higher cost. DIY kits fall between the two.

- Select the shed type - prefab, custom-built, or DIY kit.
- Enter length and width in feet.
- Select the material - wood, metal, or resin/plastic.
- Click "Calculate" to see the estimated cost range.
