The DIY figure is a buying basket produced by the first-party shed-material-quantities method. It counts framing under the stated gable-shed assumptions, plus sheet goods, underlayment, and shingles. It leaves out fasteners, connectors, doors, windows, trim, paint, tools, labor, the site base, tax, delivery, permits, and engineering.
A kit removes the cutting and most of the material shopping, but you still assemble it. Every product in this group says that a floor is included. Product titles establish the shell and floor; they do not establish that roofing finish, paint, unloading, or a prepared foundation comes with every box.
The installed range rests on only three same-store listings, so it is a limited sample. Those listings include delivery, professional on-site assembly, a wood floor system, roof deck, underlayment, shingles, and doors. The pad or foundation, site preparation, permits, difficult access, and extra leveling remain separate or location-specific.
The general shed cost guide shows how to turn these path-specific figures into one complete budget without counting the same component twice.
| Path | What the shown price covers | What still needs a separate check |
|---|---|---|
| DIY | Priced framing, panels, felt, and shingles under the published quantity assumptions | Unpriced material groups, tools, labor, base, delivery, tax, and local requirements |
| Kit | Pre-cut wood shell and a floor according to each product title | Assembly, foundation, and any roofing or paint not stated for the exact model |
| Installed | Delivery, assembly, wood floor, finished roof, doors, and listed features in the three observed offers | Site work, separate base, permits, difficult access, tax, and finish differences |

The building covers 120 square feet; the project covers more
A 10 × 12 footprint is 120 square feet before roof overhang. The base beneath it is a separate cost whether you build from lumber, assemble a kit, or hire installation. Compare concrete, blocks, gravel, and a base kit, then use the gravel calculator if gravel is still a candidate. Enter the chosen dimensions and depth yourself; the calculator gives quantity, not a site recommendation.
Delivery also changes meaning by path. Lumber may arrive curbside in several loads. A kit may arrive as a pallet that still has to reach dry storage. An installed order may include transport and assembly while charging separately for a blocked route, unsuitable ground, or work beyond the written leveling allowance. Ask where the delivery ends.
Roofing and paint deserve their own line. The DIY basket prices felt and shingles but not drip edge, flashing, caulk, or paint. Several kit listings sell roof covering or paint separately. The installed sample contains primed and painted packages, so the visible price difference is not only labor.
The 120-square-foot permit edge
Ten by twelve equals exactly 120 square feet. Seattle's published exemption says less than 120 square feet, so a nominal 10 × 12 does not fit that wording. Other jurisdictions use different areas, measurement rules, and conditions. Read the shed permit size guide, then confirm the rule for the property with the authority that issues permits. A roof-area rule may measure more than the nominal floor.
What a 10 × 12 can hold
This footprint gives a useful middle-size planning rectangle, not a capacity promise. A riding mower, ATV, or group of kayaks can be limited by the clear door, turning path, interior framing, wall length, or the other things sharing the floor.
- Start with your own rectangles in the shed size calculator.
- Check mower width, height, and retrieval room in the riding mower guide.
- Compare the machine and the actual opening in the ATV guide.
- Treat long boats as a wall-and-access problem with the kayak storage guide.
