About Best Barns
Best Barns is a trusted premium shed kit brand available in both the USA and Japan. With over 30 years of experience, they are known for producing high-quality storage buildings built to last. By sourcing finishing materials from your local lumber yard, Best Barns helps you save on overall costs.

ALL Pre-Cut vs. Regular Best Barns – What’s the Difference?
Both the Best Barns ALL Pre-Cut and regular Best Barns shed kits are manufactured by Reynolds Building Systems in their state-of-the-art facility in Northwest Pennsylvania. While the two lines look similar, there’s a key distinction:

• Regular Best Barns (not marked ALL Pre-Cut) gives you extra savings in exchange for about 2–3 additional hours of installation time. With this version, you’ll receive two separate deliveries one for the main shed kit and another for the siding, roof sheathing, and loft components (if included). These additional materials are shipped directly from your local home center—typically Home Depot if one is available in your area.

• You’ll simply follow the included instructions to make straightforward cuts to these materials before installation.
