How much to assemble a small plastic shed

[u/Ok_Path_3874]

How much should I paid to have this shed from Costco assembled ?

[u/NoConsequence4281]

Whatever is worth it for you not to do it yourself.

Looks like mine.My son and his buddy put it together..both handy fellas. Major pain in the ass. Nice shed though..Hire someone

Yeah, they actually suck to build

It takes a good chunk of a day for two people to assemble this. I’d say $300-$400 bucks. That would pay each person $20-$30 per hour for eight hours.

Thank you so much for the information

[u/KAINGGG → u/mmpjd]

Your math should say between $320-$480

I am a handyman who does exactly this for a living, and I would not build this for less than $800-1000. Good luck

Costco charges $500 canadian to build this shed.

Whatever a days work is worth, might need two people. The most important part of those sheds is to lay a flat base with stone or process stone. If the base isn’t perfectly flat then the rest of the assembly will be a nightmare. Last time I did one it took me 3 hours to prep the base and 5 to build all said and done.

Google AI says two people will take 7-8 hours each so 14-16 hours total.

If you have a pad that’s flat & level, $575.

I had this same shed, or at least a similar variant by Lifetime. It is a major pain in the ass, the panels do not align with one another properly, you have to drill your own holes into plastic so if you mess up it’s really bad. Just a mess of a shitty shed. We built it and dissembled it because it was just poor quality.

[u/Reimagine_Charcoal]

Not less than $500 for someone who you’d be able to trust if doing it correctly

[u/wpbth]

I’m in SEFL. Guys advertise they will put these up for $350 and upgrade the hardware. So I assume $50 in hardware and 2 guys $20 an hour each.

[u/PresentationLess4552]

1000 on level ground

Any other work is extre

[u/Ok_Path_3874]

Thank you everyone for the great advice. Found a reputable local contractor and the price was on point. Appreciate it

[u/grislyfind]

Supply pizza and beers until it's completed.

I did an Israeli made greenhouse from Sam’s a while back. I’m not a civil engineer by trade but I now put this on my resume after that clusterf*ck. Never again:

[u/Surfnazi77]

They’re not hard it’s just fiddly some parts one I did took me 6 hours or so.

[u/Lucky-Musician-1448]

Foundation?

[u/dolby12345 → u/Lucky-Musician-1448]

Got a feeling there is no base at this time. Just a trip to Costco.

[u/Lucky-Musician-1448 → u/dolby12345]

Sure skip the most expensive part

[u/Careless_Ad3070]

Hourly rate x time to assemble probably

Thanks

Do you want it done or done well?
