A DIY Project Using Easy Shed Plans
Using a good set of plans you can easily build a shed in your backyard to store your garden stuff or things you have taking up room in your garage. However, before you hammer your first nail you'll need to do some groundwork and this includes getting hold of a dependable set of detail shed plans. Excellent shed plans can be found on the internet, at your local library or your local bookstore. For a more advanced designs complete with a color picture of the finished product, check out the 'handyman' type magazines to get loads of even more intricate designs
If you don't have much experience in construction, you can buy affordable shed plans online that are complete with step by step instructions and detailed drawings that are easy to follow. The plans you purchase will not only show you how to put everything together but will also include a list of all the materials you'll need for the project.
When you've deterimined what type of shed you want to build you can then begin planning the construction. Visit your local building and zoning department and ask if construction of a your shed requires a permit. Have them check your shed plans so you can avoid any permit hassles and that your plans comply with the local building code.
If you haven't already done so, you'll need to select a spot where you'd like to build your shed. When you're considering a place to build your shed you want to choose a dry location that has adequate drainage. Some people feel is would be nice to construct their shed in a wooded area, however, this is not a great idea because of debris falling on the shed and the risk of damage from falling trees. One other consideration to having your shed in the woods is that the lack of sunlight may result in the growth of mold.
When picking a spot for your shed keep in mind the accessibility. You don't necessarily want the shed right next to your house but you want it close enough to be convenient. If you're going to run electric service to your shed you'll have to keep that in mind when deciding on a location.
When you've determined where you are going to build your shed you can then start construction of the shed foundation. If you've decided to build a wooden shed, there are two types of foundations you can consider. You can choose concrete pillars or a skid made of pressure treated wood. A pressure treated wooden skid foundation may be your best choice if you have limited funds. A skid foundation can be constructed using some gravel and a few pressure treated timbers. This can keep your entire shed stable and avoids water from seeping into your shed.
If you have enough money to work with you can construct your foundation with concrete piers. It lasts longer and is more stable compared to a skid, however, if you think you may need to move your shed, the skid would be the way to go.
There are several options you can choose for the walls of your shed which will depend on personal preference and your budget. On the high end you can use cedar tongue and groove boards. If you're trying to keep costs down then textured plywood makes a good choice.
In summary, using a good set of detailed plans as a step-by-step guide will go a long way in making sure that your proposed shed project turns out to be everything you imagined.
