In this video, I build and review two kit sheds. The first is made by Backyard Discoveries and it's a fairly new product in the market. The second is made by Handy Home Products and has been around for a while. My goal is to help you know what to expect when you order and build a pre-cut shed. As you will see in this video, after building both, the differences are obvious.
Some people wonder how long it takes to build. It's hard to say because everybody is at a different skill level but I would guess the average consumer could build the Backyard Discovery shed in a day. The Handy Home shed in a minimum of 2-1/2 to 4 days. Depending on experience.
If you are wondering about the price you need to check your local Home Depot or Lowe's stores and also online at sites like Amazon (linked above) With the Backyard Discovery shed, the price you see it. Nothing extra to plan for. With the Handy Home sheds, you will have to calculate for the extra materials and possibly tools.
The last major comparison is the skill level required and potential frustrations. Backyard Discovery requires minimum skill and rarely would you be frustrated. Handy Home Products requires a lot more skill and has the potential for heavy frustrations.
If there is something I missed, please let me know in the comments.
Best of luck on the shed project!

So I was totally sold on the Backyard Discovery Shed Kit only to find out in 2023 they no longer sell sheds :( ... Any suggestions on other companies who sell kits the same as this, and I mean kits that have everything included, preassembled panels, included pre cut shingles, I mean this was the perfect kit, wish they still made them.
LOL, I just did that also.
Nice video. good insight. unfortunately Backyard Discovery doesn't make sheds anymore well that I was able to find. but good heads up for Handy Home that Home Depot carries
backyard shed link "product no longer available"
yup not available
\
Is their anywhere else we can get it
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is an awesome exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical success with it.?
Yes looks like they dont even do sheds anymore. Too bad. Seemed like a great product
Yep. Not Available. That sucks. Looked like a great shed, at a great price. To bad.
I think if this video wasn’t sponsored it would be informative. However I had this perception that this was just one big infomercial.
Bummer, I went to the backyard discovery wanting to buy the shed and it's no longer available :(
I noticed that too. I love how prefab it was. did you find anything comparable?
any ideas on where to find a shed like the backyard discovery one since they don't sell them anymore?
I would have bought the shed from Backyard Discovery but they don't sell them anymore i guess.
8 x 8, why waste all that time for a closet....show me at least 10 x 12
Looks like backyard discovery doesn’t sell the sheds anymore? Nice video btw
I have a shed already that someone built for me for a good price. But if I didn't, I'd definitely look into the Backyard Discovery shed. You can tell they really do care about the quality and making it easy to build. Great Job!
I can not find any Backyard discovery sheds... do they still make sheds?
Wish the first shed was still available,would definitely get one.
agreed
Ok so you hated the second one,completely useless video without a price comparison.
there needs to be a correction to this video. i just called backyard discovery and they no longer do sheds. they sold the rights to home depot. check in to it.
It looks like Backyard Discovery no longer sells sheds.
Best and most informative video I have ever seen on youtube, and without any rambling. Very well done.
Is it me or does Backyard Discovery not sell sheds anymore?
Yep. March 2019: Still, "Product no longer available." What a Shame.
Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this [ Check Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!?
An outfit markets a shed you can slam together hassle free on a weekend, and it puts them out of business. Sounds about right, eh.
Daivi Celt You can always buy firewood elsewhere...
So you did a "review" sponsered by one of the products being reviewed? I guessed who got the better review before you got started. How smart am I?
I think its more on showing how better and easy the one is. But he did specify the sponser.
What is the cost?
Apparently Back Yard Discovery doesn't sell sheds anymore?
I prefer to scratch build but if I was going to buy a kit, to me the whole point is that everything is included and I don't have to cut or measure anything. So I definitely would go for the first one. If you go for the 2nd you may as well just scratch build really.
I dont think this company ever made sheds, he never once spoke about price and the website sells everything but sheds. He was paid to promo there site from the beginning you can tell from the tone in his voice and how he spoke, I mean they sponsored the video. And he used an Amazon (probably made in China) product to compare it to. You're better off buying from a big box home improvement store.
those sites take you to kids play set not sheds
Thank you so much for posting this video. I’ve been struggling to find clear and honest videos like this on UA-cam. Too many building videos are overly glamorized or skip past the crucial details/steps that I need to know. I was leaning towards one shed before watching but this video helped me pick a much better option. So, thank you - you just saved me a lot of money and time! 😅
The 8x8 ft. Ready shed from backyard discovery is shown with a price of $1699.00 which is more than twice the cost of the other shed. Not sure if shipping is included in that price or if it's even still available. They say they are having problems with delivering their products. Again for that price I can build a 12x12 or bigger shed from scratch.
The biggest complaint I have about most of these kits (both of these brands included) is that they use OSB. I would much rather see them use plywood, which is a lot stronger and will last much longer as well. I do realize the price difference between OSB and plywood, but quality usually commands a higher price.
They sure sell them at a plywood price!
PaganWizard it’s actually smart board. It’s an osb based product with an exterior primer/paint on the outside. It stays flatter than plywood and lasts for years as long as you don’t leave exposed edges. Nothing wrong with osb anyways as long as it’s used properly
Wrong, osb is better. Obviously you know nothing about good construction.
Okay I need the complete price comparison $$$
4,500 to 6,000 average complete with labor
YOUR DRUNK -THESE SHEDS START UNDER $1400
COYOTE I call bullshit. I’ve seen bigger sheds for under 500
COYOTE lol.
I Love those video 😍🙏🏼thanks I think I’m going to buy this for my house “You have my like and my Fallow”
Backyard Discovery no longer has any sheds. Evidently, they haven't bothered to take down their web site.
Still, I enjoyed the video.
Backyard folks are not making any sheds. Do you know which other firm provides similar quality? Thank you. Atleast I came to know my limitations with building shed.
I checked their website using your link, but can't find sheds at Backyard Discovery. Perhaps they have stopped selling them.
No price comparison?

If you can measure and use a saw these can be built for less than half with better materials. T-111 siding is way better than the masonite crap they use. In my area you can get a good Amish built shed for that kind of money.
"If you can measure and use a saw." Ya... but those are pretty big "ifs" for a large percentage of the population. Heck I'm a roofing contractor, and I would not dare try to build a shed totally from scratch. Except for the roof, which would be awesome, mine would look like crap! :-)
you do realize there was zero masonite used in either shed... it was OSB
The second shed is just like the Heartland sheds they are crap and a very disappointing build. Warped wood, cheap hardware, delays, the worst service from Lowes, and not complete (which costs more), If you are smart you will not go with Heartland.
Back yard discovery does NOT build sheds any longer. They still build great products but not a shed..
Basically an unfair "comparison"...you sandbagged the Handy Home Unit...
The 1st shed who sells it and how expensive is it please let me know thank you
Great video but thumbs down sorry. The company you supported is basically out of everything but gazebos. Might want to retract this video and offer a company still in business.
Sorry 2nd shed garbage 1st one was beautiful perfectly organized fantastic product mine as well just build your own if you're going to get the 2nd shed
Glad I saw this, cross it off my possible shed supplier. Looks kinda cheap, like it won't hold up well.
"I gotta thank Backyard Discovery for making this video possible".
Good to know this comparison wasn't biased in any way.
Well as of 2023 I do not think Backyard Discovery makes sheds any longer. No longer listed on their site.
Backyard Discovery site had no sheds? Just very expensive gazebo kits. Waste of time.
Not comparing pricing make this video a huge fail.
Funny how your sponsor’s shed was so great and the competition seems to have done something wrong at every single step. I stopped watching. Too negative. Made me feel sad and alone in the whole wide world.
Thank you for this video. My fiance and I just purchased our first home in November and I'm planning on building a shed and this helped me make my final decision. Great job with the video.
unfortunately, i am 6y late for the backyarddiscovery shed. they don't sell them anymore
This is a glorified commercial for backyard discovery. How much did they pay you?
This product is no longer available. Don’t waste your time
I would like to have a shed similar to this, but would like to use it for a possible garage in the wintertime / workshop. Wouldn't I need a cement foundation? I live in the Midwest. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Pour a cement slab
I'm a professional builder. For a garage I recommend a 3-4 inch slab with re-bar set in a grid pattern spaced at least 2 ft by 2 ft.
You will also want the perimeter of the slab to be about 10 inches deep by about 6 inches wide to act as a footing to support the walls of your shed. Also add an extra row of re-bar around the edges.
Bought a backyard products llc shed that was very similar to the handy home. Had to build wall and floor frames and it was a lot of work, however the package I purchased from Menards came with all materials I needed and I did find warped and twisted 2 X 3's the retailer exchanged for me for free. Started Saturday May 26th working mostly alone and finished today May 30th. If I had help, this would have been done in 2 days. I am a novice and this was my first big build. I would not want to do it again, though.
They no longer sell this said just FYI to all you out there they stopped carrying it 5 years ago is what they just told me
I like the fact that you are using cedar wood instead of pine. Very interesting video.
Thanks backyard discovery for sponsoring to trash on the handy home
The BD shed looks like exactly what I need =)…..and I just checked Home D and it is no longer available =((
Hi Adam where you brought the discovery shed.
First of all, use treated plywood for the floor. You will thank me later....
The Backyard Sheds are really nice but I wish they made an add-on extension kit you could buy to make it deeper or wider version also available like 10' by 12' or 10' by 14' would be really nice. I really like these kits
Why no felt under the shingles, or drip edge around the roof decking on the Backyard Discovery version. Other than that it looks solid.
drip edge is very rare on a budget shed, these are budget sheds all day long
Don't bother, they don't make the sheds anymore. Big fat waste of my time!
Why did they discontinue this shed kit?
Back Yard Discover does not sell shed kits in 2021 :(
Backyard Discovery no longer makes sheds.
What was cost of each package?
I bought the handy home shed the other day and almost everything in the box was warped or to short so I hade to basically go buy all the lumber to frame it out. Worst thing I've bought in a long time!!!!
Well,.... It did come with step plate.
lmao,,,,,,,,totaly worth it
Great video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a google search)? It is a great exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my old buddy Taylor got great results with it.
Lovely Video! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a google search)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker got amazing success with it.

Excellent video!
I would recommend Woodglut to every beginner and not only.
it appears Backyard Discovery has gotten out of the shed business. They don't list any on their website anymore and home depots are all listed as discontinued. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places.
They sold it off to Home Depot and the sheds are now called Tuff Sheds.
Backyard Discovery no longer makes sheds
Anyone find a comparable product considering Backyard Discovery no longer produces this product?
And why is the backyard discovery shed no longer available?.....Because it costs twice as much. You get what you pay for.
They dont make these anymore!!!!! WTF
Backyard no longer sells them.
I do like this video. I seem to have a hard time when selecting the backyard Discovery link.
Can't get over that antique dinosaur of a drill .
It's a DeWalt. A quality drill.
Hmmm, I knew you have to get a foundation down yourself before shed parts are delivered but did not know it doesn't come with roofing materials.
under the roofing shingles you need black paper
Paper is not necessary in a unheated building .
Basically the paper acts as a kind of buffer between hot and cold variants .
But it couldn't hurt .
Yeah tar paper is needed, I learned this the hard way as a kid, I built a small covered porch. It leaked everywhere. Basically the shingles just protects the roof, the tar paper is the water proofer. It may not leak at first. But as it ages, the shingles will shrink then basically every nail hole is a drip of water!
Do you know of any similar products? Backyard discovery has discontinued their ready sheds.
Hi, do you know where we can find the shed?
why no tar paper on the roof first before the shingles???
I was wondering about this also. Seems like a recipe for a leaking roof.
i agree it should be mandatory, but its a vapor barrier mostly, and some climates dont need that
@@BeyondBiochar Where I live, I'd toss some metal or composite over that - then run a gutter and spout.
great video thanks was really focus then saw you got a screw on one hand and nailgun on other
😄😄😄😄 usully happens to me
they don't sell sheds on their website lol
Why not give the price of each shed?
Well done... I'm not buying the second one, for sure. God bless you.
"completely useless video without a price comparison."
The basic one is about a grand, depending on sale. I built a 10x10 from Home Depot and it is a steaming pile, but 7 years on and it is still standing despite not a drop of paint.
The better one is no longer listed, but my guess is 2k
The company’s website only offers outdoor play sets for kids now😪
Cool. This is exactly the size I'm going to build. Glad I found this video.
Thanks for the review! Definitley going with the Backyard Discovery shed now.
I haver dream for brezil
Too bad I just went to their site to see how much for a 8x12 or 10x12 and are no longer available on their website
I dont see sheds on their website
No shed in first link
Where did you buy them
Very informative and thorough. Thank you!
Wish they still sold this
How do you frame a shed?
How much one of does cost?
Adam - Where ya been?
