This will be the cheapest way even with the kits available. Buy the porter cable pancake compressor nail gun set and a halfway decent chop saw and a skill saw.

Or rent them from me. *compound miter saw and compressor.
There were some gas powered pass-lode tools in the trade section. No hoses or compressors. (Sorry Irving) [emoji477]
This is what I have been doing. Needed a porch, so bought a saw. Needed a fence so bought a nailer (then bought another one, the correct one). When I build the shed, I havent decided whether or not I will buy a concrete mixer.
I need to build a few sheds, but will keep them under 120 sq ft (to avoid permit). Havent decided if I will buy plans or just wing it.
Get ideas from Pinterest.
Or go to Lowe's and flip thru the 20$ shed book.
I build the cost of tools into the job and very rarely rent anything that isn't very specific to something I don't do much.
I'm a big fan of 8×12 or 8×16 sheds with a 4/12 pitch. I can bang them out in one day since there's so little cutting.
My FIL builds sheds. He just built a bad ass mini garage in his backyard. He is local in littleton too, let me know if you want his contact info.
We looked at Tuff Shed, plus big box kit options, and ended up going with Ted's Shed (https://www.tedsshedscolorado.com). Local company, better quality, better price. Got 10x12 because that's the largest allowed without a building permit in this county.
Thanks for chiming in with it that, as I'm in the market too and skeptical of the big box store options. Did your Ted's Shed include a paint job with the price? I am not seeing a mention of that on their website.
EDIT:
Never mind, I see the page where they say it's an option for 10% of the base price.
Jeebus. I need to quit the general contractor thing and just build sheds.
