Anyone have some input on the best price on sheds in Southern Maryland? Looking for a 12 X 18 with vinyl siding. Delivered of course. I'm off of 231 closer to Prince Frederick.

Thank you in advance.

I have heard good things with 84 Lumber.

Best Built Sheds in Brandywine, right off 301 before going into Waldorf...Talk to Bart.

North Ryceville minibars, down by the tack shop off of North Ryceville Road. Ask to see the "big book" with everyone else's pricing. :evil: Tough to sneak one by these guys. He built one for us about 10 years ago and we're still happy with it.

Is price your only criteria?

Can you build one yourself? They're not that hard with basic power tools and free plans on the internet. I built my 16'x16' barn roof with a loft on 2x10 floor joists for around $1600. I'm sure a comparable Amish shed would run around $3500 - $4500. :shrug:

I.N.S. sheds on Mechanicsville Rd. Price and quality beat everyone that I checked in Mechanicsville, Hughesville area. Custom made locally, any size, style, or color. Don't know know about delivery to Calvert, but definitely worth checking.

Blister... I was down there today. And I think you are right!

BOP, the shed has to be made of wood.

Stad, we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. ;-)

Stad, nice looking shed good job. :cheers:

Anybody but Alan's Outlet sheds. Their customer service sucks. Worst liars I've ever run across. 4 months to get a two week promised shed that had to be built 3 times and still isn't right but I finally gave up. Avoid like the plague.

Did you use plans or just start building?

They're not coming up in a web search.

I went searching from Waldorf to Mechanisville in April 2010 and out of all the places I saw, the best price for what I wanted was I.N.S. Sheds (Issac N. Stoltzfus) 26100 Mechanicsville Rd. They are Amish, but they did call me to let me know when they were going to deliver it. I got a 10x16 with a loft, window and front door and a stronger wood floor for $2,600. Not sure of his prices now, but I love my shed.

No plans, I just started building. My friend and I did this one in 3 weekends. This is our 3rd shed we've built and the biggest. The first was at my other house a 10'x16', then his a 10'x12'.

I'm not for hire...sorry.

WOW, that's a lot cheaper than the one we priced. We went to the place, I forget the name, it's in Hughesville, next to Bill's BBQ trailer. Very similar, only had a porch, was over $5,000 !!

I purchased a shed from the Amish shed place off rt 235 in California, MD. I bought an almost new 10 x 12 Cape Cod with optional vinyl siding, dormer, dormer door, 11 lite door upgrade, B windows, gable vents
for $2000 delivered and I received it in 4 days vice 6 weeks! They discounted $1000 off for the floor model!

I know exactly which place you are talking about, I think they were also selling sheds at the Hughesville market. I.N.S was the cheapest, my parents helped me search everywhere for over a month. I also liked how hip roof was slightly different than anywhere else. The only problem I had was that I lived in Charles County and had to drive there to order and make a last min. change (added window) because he didn't have a phone number. However, in his office I saw a fax machine and he did call me twice about delivery.

I think half the neighborhood purchased sheds from them, all in about a 2 week time span.

We're very happy with ours.

:buddies: Thank you, I already called my husband at work and told him. I also found ShedKing (http://www.shedkingsheds.com/sheds.html#) that seems a good bit cheaper too. We were thinking of waiting till closer to the end of the summer if it was going to be $5,000. But if it's that much cheaper we won't wait !! I can't WAIT to get to use my garage again for something other than ATV's and riding lawn mower !!

I love this shed. You did it for $1,600?! Nice job!

That's who I ended up buying from. They do have a phone but they only dial out. Nice guy. I ended up buying a 12 X 18 with vinyl siding (have to satisfy the HOA), double doors, two windows, vent for $3400 delivered and set up. It was A LITTLE over my budget. But I know I'll be getting a quality shed. Should be ready in three weeks.

He's about four miles or so down Mechanicsville Road on the left. Has a sign on the road that says sheds, eggs, and geese or something along those lines. Nice guy. He has some some sheds in stock that I think he'll knock 3% off of. I have a price sheet if anyone wants a price.

Congrats!!! He was a really nice guy and I'm happy to recommend him. I'm sure you will be happy with it!

I'm looking at doing the same thing, it can't be that difficult can it? And it sounds like fun to me, bring little bubba out to help.

Hi ! Do you have any pictures? That's a big shed and price sounds great.

Sheds - PDF (http://pdfcast.org/pdf/sheds)

Here you go. I uploaded his price sheet. There's a few pics on there.

The PDF is MUCH clearer if you download it. Thanks!

Looks nice. Did you use the prebuilt rafters?

I made the trusses. I sketched out what I needed on paper, marked out the trusses on the floor, figured my angles, then screwed a jig to the floor. I pre cut all pieces and reenforced joints with construction cement, 1/2 plywood plates and 1" air staples (very strong).

All dimensions maximize the use of wood with very little waste-

16x16 floor- 8 sheets of plywood & 2x10x16 floor joists
4' tall, 6' top/4' side roof trusses- 2x4x10
6' Walls- 16 sheets of exterior plywood (left over 2' pieces for top of front/back walls, the roof and a dog house)

Stad, where did you get supplies from? 84 lumber or Lowes? My husband is looking to do a large shed too...

I got everything at Lowes. I'm retired military so I get a 10% discount on purchases.
