Build-A-Shed Sale – Support Local School STEM Programs

Here is your opportunity to support a great program and add custom built storage to your home or business at a great value.

Build-A-Shed brings together high school students, contractors and subcontractors to compete in a one-day build of custom sheds. Teams from Baptist Hill High School, Lucy Beckham High School, James Island Charter High School, Berkeley High School, Cross High School and East Cooper Center for Advanced Studies will take part in this year’s event.

Student teams will plan and build structures under the guidance of professional contractors, which will be judged on the criteria of structural completeness, safety and technical elements.

Six sheds will be available for a suggested donation of $3,250, which includes delivery. Specs for the sheds, estimated to be $5,000 in value are listed below:

Shed Dimensions:

  • 11′ 6″ L x 8′ 0″ W and roughly 9’9″ H at the roof’s peak.

Features Include:

  • 1 – 5′ 0″ W x 6′ 8″ H door opening, with a pair of 6-panel exterior metal doors.
  • Keyed door hardware. 2 – 24″ x 36″ vinyl windows.
  • Exteriors made of T1-11 siding and unpainted, which allows the owner to paint the shed the color they desire.

Proceeds from the sale of sheds will be put back into the Build-A-Shed program, which provides hands on opportunities for students to gain real life skills and experience, feeding our region’s talent pipeline.
