Summer ’08 project, build a shed storage. I built my shed with the help of my son AJ, Ethan (aj’s friend for clamping the wall), Totoy for holding the rafter, Lelin and daughters Angeli, Alissa,and Luisa for all the support and keeping me hydrated, video and photograph and pushing the shed about 5 ft. Thanks you. BIG thanks to Gilbert for loaning me most of the tools that I needed, for helping, ideas and plans, thanks to Randy for the miter saw and saw horses, Terco for staple gun, Pete for plotting the dimension of the rafter that I need (a motorcycle gang safe house/opium den/ fallout shelter)and paint spray, Adam and Tony for words of encouragement, my neighbors Ross, Jim, and Eddy for (pry bar, paddle bit and dremmel tools). And thanks to Youtube, by searching about “how to move a shed”. It save me 0.00, I was about to hire a crane just to move it about 4 ft. My first video/picture/music editing.
I can’t find custom plans at the local store and I’ve searched online but disliked the ones I saw. Can anybody show me some quality plans that I can customize to my outdoor layout? Thx in advance.
Any one have a DIY receipe? I find the pre bought ones last two mins?! . . . Thanks
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.
