What do you value more: time or money?

The answer to this question often speaks volumes about our character and the choices we’re naturally aligned to.

Are you the type of person who doesn’t mind doing something the long way if it means that the end result will bring you satisfaction?

Or does the thought of paying someone to take a task off your hands and do the dirty work for you sound like a more appealing prospect?

Whichever your preference, when it comes to purchasing a brand new shed for your business or farm, the choice is up to you when it comes to erecting the structure.

While your new storage solution from Allied Sheds is an exciting purchase – not to mention a large investment – there is one thing you need to decide on before you can enjoy your shed – whether you set it up yourself or hire a professional to do it for you!

A shed is a major investment – choose wisely

No matter what size shed suits your storage needs, a quality structure that will stand the test of time is an investment.

Consider the value of the assets that your shed will store – be it machinery, grain, fertiliser or hay. The contents of your shed are no doubt an expense that you want to ensure is well stored and protected from the elements.

For this very reason, it’s important to not skimp on the cost of your new shed – otherwise you risk sacrificing its quality.

When you opt for an Allied Shed, you can rest assured that your steel shed kit is a proven product with a reputation spanning more than three decades with Australian farmers and business owners.

Many of our satisfied customers choose one of our steel shed kits because of their quality and then choose to build it themselves to save money on professional building costs.

There certainly are advantages to this option – namely the cost saving involved. And being the builder of the shed, you’ll also have maximum control over the entire project, which means you’ll be able to erect the structure to your own schedule.

However, with most things, there are also many factors with this method that you should first consider.

Should I build my shed by myself?

Constructing a steel shed kit is achievable, but the process will take plenty of time and effort. You’ll want to know what you’re in for before you start construction – if you decide half way that building it yourself isn’t for you, your plan may backfire and it could end up costing you even more money to start again with a professional!

Of course, if going to the effort of constructing the shed on your own sounds like a task too big to tackle, hiring an installer is likely to be the option best suited to you. This choice will hurt your hip pocket more, but your end result will be a shed built professionally and you will have the peace of mind that it has been built for purpose.

However, if you’re up for the challenge and are confident in your own organisational skills, building the shed yourself will save you the entire outlay of your erection costs.

You also won’t need to be dependent on installers building schedule, so if you have the time to focus on your shed you might find that you can erect it ahead of schedule.

Now that you know how to save money on the construction of your new shed, there’s just one remaining question to ask yourself: When it comes to your shed, what do you value more – time or money?
