This shed was built by volunteers who are used to building houses, so it's built like a house. We had five volunteers. It was about five and a half days of work to put it together. It's a really well-built shed. It's very sturdy, so you can put it on a trailer or truck.” - Tudor Davis
Features include vinyl siding with Tyvek underneath, household windows that you can open with a hand crank, a shingle roof with tar paper, and an overhang at the entrance. Watch the video below for more details and a walk through demostration.
