Using Free Plans to Build Your Storage Shed
If you are planning to build your own storage shed, you can find a wide assortment of shed plans online at no cost. Such plans will have everything you need for constructing your shed, including easily readable plans, window and door framing, a list of the materials you will need to build your shed, and other instruction manuals.
If you are relatively handy, then you can easily build your own storage shed if you do as the free plans instruct. Just conduct a search on the internet and you will inevitably find plans that meet your design and use needs.
One storage plan which is free and fairly popular is the 8*10 Gable shed plan, which can be found in regular dimensions. A benefit to this type of shed is that it is mobile, meaning it can be moved. There are also plans to help you build your garden, which are for sheds in which you plan to keep your gardening tools as well as your lawnmower. A third type of free shed plans is the pump house plan, which provides for a smaller than average shed with a wooden frame and a hinged roof to hold housing motors or pumps.
Each and every shed plan contains different levels of design to fit any budget or storage need. The more affordable shed plans typically provide for wood siding, while the fancier ones will typically call for vinyl siding. Shed plans will also usually have details in them for roof rafters, the foundation, windows and door frames.
You can easily download free storage plans online as well as blue prints. If you cannot find free plans with the design you are looking for or that meets your needs, you can always buy a set of plans, which usually include software, DVDs and guidebooks with the necessary steps in constructing your shed.
You can build a shed using wood, which is a good option because it does not require a lot of maintenance and is inexpensive. You can also use Aluminum and PVC vinyl to construct your shed. These materials are incredibly durable and do not require maintenance.
Whichever style of shed and materials you use, always follow the instructions to the letter. It is best to use plans that include illustrations as well as detailed directions each step of the way. And make sure you measure your available space before deciding on a shed design.
