Shed Construction- Planning For Future Projects

Even though I did my shed construction project myself and saved a lot of money by using salvaged material, I lost a lot of time in mistakes.  I am writing this to help you avoid my mistakes.

The biggest mistake I made was in not getting some shed plans to go by.  I had a good idea of where it was all going, but a few details I messed up on wouldn’t have been a problem if I had plans.  Time is as important as money.

So as I researched the internet preparing for anticipated shed project this summer I came across MyShedPlans.com.  I thought I would give you a first hand review of their site.  If you want to go straight to their site to see what they offer click here.

I noticed while searching the internet that you can find a lot of information out there, but it’s all bits and pieces.  A video here might show you the basics, while some free storage shed plans will give you some other aspects.  I wanted the whole story.  I found that at MyShedPlans.com.

Ryan, the author is like a neighbor standing next to you giving you advice step by step.  There are several pictured manuals for different parts of the shed building process.  In fact, there are a multitude of building plans for a variety of shed-type needs.  As someone who always wanted to do some woodworking projects, I was glad to find that there are thousands of other woodworking plans included like furniture, toys, decorations, etc.  They must have collected every project on the planet here.

Each project plan has a list of materials that you could easily just hand to the guy at the hardware store.  Having this list alone will save you from extra visits to the hardware store for not having enough materials or having the extras stacked up in your yard.  The diagrams are clean and easy to figure out even for one like me with little experience.  The guides for framing shed roof construction, wall framing and how to make shed doors are all there.  All the steps from start to finish are laid out plainly.

I was not to impressed that I would have to print out each plan that I wanted instead of buying a printed book, and that I saw a couple of duplicate plans in the huge volume of shed construction plans.

I wish I had found this site when I built my shed.  It would have saved me lots of time doing a couple things over and the anxiety of trying to figure out what to do next as I built it.

So my next shed construction project is coming up.  You can guess where I’m looking already- MyShedPlans.com.  I couldn’t be happier knowing that I have the questions answered before I even start.

Where Can I Find Free Storage Shed Plans?

Free storage shed plans can be found all over.  They don’t call this the information age for nothing.  However, you have to remember what the older generation has told us for years, “You get what you pay for.”

Don’t count out the free stuff just yet.  As I have scoured the net for free storage shed plans, I’ve seen a great variety of ways to do things with a shed.  There are different roof lines, siding options, floor structures and designs.  Seeing such a variety might give you a better picture of what you want in a shed.

So, below are some links to sites where you kind find the free storage shed plans.  The quality will be different, but remember you’re looking for ideas and tips not an all-inclusive plan.

myshedplans.com -  They have thousands of plans for all kinds of wood working projects, and a free shed plan you can sign up for.  I got the free plan from there.

Build Eazy - I like their tutorials.  There are several pages to show you step by step, with graphics, how to build a shed, but it is just general procedures that they show you.

Popular Mechanics - Who doesn’t like Popular Mechanics?  They have a several page guide with great pictures and tips, but they don’t give a materials list which kind of leaves a lot out.

There’s a little bit of a list anyway.  Don’t forget you can check out your library as well.  You remember libraries don’t you.  It’s a place where there are lots of books to look through.  Most towns and counties still have them.  You can probably find some free shed plans there as well.
