Drift back in time to the days when people didn’t have nearly half as much stuff as what we have now. Let’s face it most of what we have we don’t need and that’s why we’re always looking for more storage.
Having an extra storage building or garden shed is almost a necessity to keeping your home tidy, uncluttered and running smoothly. And when it comes to kids and constructing new storage there are two main routes you can choose.
You can either buy a pre-cut unit, kind of like a flat pack or you can build your own from detailed blueprints. Both have their good points so it is important to choose one that suits you.
If you have absolutely no DIY experience or you have never built anything in your life then my suggestion is to go to your local hardware store and buy one of the flat pack options. They are so simple to construct these days and all you’ll have to do is literally bolt the four walls to the floor and then screw the roof on. Instructions will be easy to follow and it shouldn’t take you very long to complete.
However if you are a little bit handy and you are looking for something to give you a bit more personal satisfaction, then it may be a good idea to get your hands on some plans. Just imagine how good it will feel to stand back and look at a completed job knowing that you did everything yourself.
I say ‘did everything’, but as long as you follow the blueprints and instructions that you get with sites like MyShedPlans then it should be no trouble at all!
What I really love about building something like a storage unit or shed myself is the sheer amount of designs and blueprints you can choose from. You will be able to get something that fits your needs perfectly and also blends well into the surroundings of your home.
Not only that, but if you are feeling a little more daring you can even slightly adjust some blueprints if you needed an extra inch or two here or there.

If you’re looking for a shared that comes in pre cut panels or pallets then you will probably be able to find a garden building that will be simple to put together and give a great finish a result. But is there a better route to follow? Will you be able to find a design that fits your exact needs?
Well personally after completing my two garden builds, one being my very own shared and the other being a playhouse for my girls, I do think there is a better way.
I don’t think the best way to get complete satisfaction is to buy a ready to assemble package. This is simply because the layout is, sizes and shapes are so restricted. It is much better to get your hands on some great plans and blueprints and then get the wood pre cut at your local hardware store or a sawmill somewhere.
I never actually knew you could do this even though I had walked past the huge saws at my local do it yourself centre hundreds of times. The one near me will actually cut your wood to any size and shape you want for free. How convenient is that?
I did this when I built the playhouse in my backyard. I got the plans from the website I recommend on here and when I purchased my wood I got the guys at the store to cut it all to the exact size. Their machine is laser guided so the cuts were absolutely perfect right down to the last millimetre.
Actually, I tell a lie. They didn’t cut it all, there were a few tiny pieces that I did at home with a handsaw but they were so small they only took me a few minutes.
So personally I think if you’re looking for pre-cut shed designs then you may be narrowing your options. Instead, simply get your hands on some design prints and plans or blueprints, purchase your materials and then get the wood cut to the sizes you want. Simple.

With the right instructions and manuals its possible to build anything in your garden.
Of course you are going to need the right tools, materials and some step by step instructions but with a little patience and planing it can be done.
With the website that I used here are just some of the other blueprints that you can get your hands on:
Wooden swings, wood gazebos,picket fences,sheds,garages,storage boxes,playhouses,tree houses,decking, raised decking, wooden steps, poolside decking, hot tub decking, cedar arbors, garden archways, garden potting bench, chicken coops, cedar privacy screen, lounge chair…..
The list just goes on and on. in fact if you can think of it then it’s probably there, blueprinted up ready for you to follow step by step.
Head to the site and see the full list of all the thousands of designs available.

Well this is a quiestion a lot of people ask themselves. Obviously it’s understandable, especially if plans are going to cost a few dollars or if you think you know how to complete your project anyway.
So why is it a good idea to get your hands on some instructions for your shed, barn, garage or chicken coop?
Actually there are a few reasons that this is a good idea. Firstly think about the time you will save when you have all the dimensions, tools and materials listed in front of you. There’s going to be no head scratching as you fumble your way around a hardware store figuring out what you need. Plus your not going to miss a vital step like those extra long self tapping screws for the roof or something.
I also like the idea of blueprints because of the sheer amount of ideas you’re going to get. For example the site that I recommend has around 12,000 different designs. So there’s a good chance you will find one that suits your needs and it could even be better than the initial idea you have in your head as to what the finished project should be.
But here’s my favourite reason for getting yourself some blueprints. They are compiled by a total expert. not hashed together by a bunch of marketing guys who couldn’t hang a picture. These are real instructions that have been carefully planned and prepared by someone that has built and checked every single step, one at a time.
For me that was worth the investment alone.
OK so your plans may cost you a few dollars, but think of the money you will save by not making mistakes?! If you ruined a panel of wood and purchased the wrong nails you could well exceed the cost of a good guide in repairs!
