EZBUILDER 7 x 8 Foot Peak Roof Storage Shed Garage Barn DIY EZ Framing Kit with 24 Galvanized Steel Angles and 12 Base Plates (No Wood Included)

My web research determined this Amazon offering by Spreetail is likely the sole source of METAL framing kits today, and it's most certainly at a favorable price point - BUY NOW before they run out of stock. Seller Spreetail dramatically-exceeded expectations around customer relationship management and order fuilfillment. Toward the kit, I am extremely-impressed and happy with its modularity, flexibility, and scalability, and the instruction set included in the kit is easy to use. Toward Spreetail, I am extremely-impressed with their focus on getting things right, and attention to detail on the back end of my transaction. Please be advised that enabled by this kit, your project will not go together like TinkerToys or Lincoln Logs (e.g. if you've never built anything before, you will be learning a lot as you go, and thus should set your project duration expectations accordingly). However, for those more experienced builders seeking time savings, reduced complexity, and risk management (from not having to layout angles and ensure you cut them correctly...), this is THE superior product. (I cannot imagine why anyone would consider using the competing plastic fittings for this...)

Nice

I am a 78 year old construction novice, and this kit has been loads of fun. I was amazed that the cost of lumber made the actual build so expensive. I took the parts list to my local building supply and dropped $1147, not including tools, mostly due to the high cost of plywood. And I have not yet purchased roofing materials. I probably should have requested a lower grade of plywood, but I (my wife) wanted a pretty exterior. One area where I would have liked some improvement was in the instructions, which I found thorough but a little bit hard to follow. (maybe I did not build enough models as a kid). I did modify the plans somewhat to make the shed lower and less deep.. (my wife preferred it be less visible) This prove fairly easy to do. I am very glad I bought this kit and did not just throw together a shed from salvage wood.

If adulting had levels, building a shed is like the bonus round. We ran out of space in the house—too much stuff, not enough shed. Solution? The EZ Frame Structure Kit. The instructions basically hand you a shopping list, so we rolled up to Lowe’s, filled the cart, and thought, how hard could this be? Fast-forward to about five ‘heated discussions’—a.k.a. marital bonding exercises—I gracefully stepped aside and let my husband take the lead. (Best decision ever.) Then my brother-in-law showed up for the roof, because apparently, roofing requires at least two people and one supervisor with snacks. And boom—now we have a legit shed. Strong, spacious, and no one lost a finger! So if you’re even a little handy, or just good at supervising, do it. Get the EZ Frame Structure Kit. Trust me, it’s easier than you think—and way cheaper than therapy after those five fights.

I did not build a shed, but rather a pool pump housing, and they work OK. Since they were so thin I chose to use crossbraces between the low portions of the trusses. I would not trust them to support much of a load as designed, but I'm also not a structural engineer (had 2 undergrad classes, but does not an ME it make).

Good set easier to assembl then I thought

This kit is JUNK. Not packaged well and cheap, stamped metal. Idk how so many people here give 4-5 star positive reviews. If you look at the real reviews at the big box stores these items rank poorly and I wish I would have read those reviews. I build this on an engineering table and as square as possible with the big box store nominal lumber and I all I did was fight and destroy my sanity. Not easy to use. Not sturdy and I really suggest you do not go buy all the lumber and materials, do not cut them to their specs. You’ll end up wasting hundreds of hard earned dollars on lumber to find out the brackets are bent, warped and nonconformity and the brackets and flimsy, weak and you can not just fit lumber together without tweaking, modification and struggle. This is not a 1 person job once you lose your energy and sanity fighting with this garbage. Go read the real reviews at the big box stores to see the truth.

This has to be one of the easiest sheds I've ever built. The only thing that I would note is that this does require two people well the one person can do it it's very hard. Also there were no instructions for the front door/doors on this. I was able to build mine not a problem because I have experience with this but for someone doing this the final part is not easy if they've never built a door before or squared one. Put this up as a chicken coop and it's going to work great hopefully for many years.

Did you know “2x4” means something different in Canada and USA ? I didn’t! Our (Irish and UK) 2x4’s are bigger (look it up - I know it sounds wrong ) but as a result the clips don’t fit…. I think I’ll need a router or something now to chisel out sections of my lumber to make it narrower!

Arrived safely looks good

Great kit better than expected strong held up to 100km winds with no issues went with 10mm plastic to hold up against the larger hail and to help it stand the test of time cedarwood and a heavy 2x8 subfloor on cinderblocks to keep it up out of the dirt next project on it is a small deck with steps

Great kit, really help me in my project, follow the instructions and you can't go wrong

The material thickness measured 0 .6 mm which in my opinion is way too thin given the intended use and will distort very easily as offers very little in the way of rigidity
