You have finally saved enough money to purchase that dream home you have always wanted. The house itself is great but that shed out the back is a complete disaster. Not only does it look awful but it leaks so badly that it use for storage is very limited.

You have two basic choices. One you can renovate it or you can rebuild it altogether. After much thought you decide it is beyond repair and decide to completely rebuild it. However funds are tight after buying the house so you decide to build it yourself to save a few dollars. OK you think it is only four walls, a roof and a door so it can not be that difficult and after all you think of yourself as a do it yourself kind of guy. But where do you start?

Your wife is a bit fussy, likes everything in the house to be in order and would like the garage to be neat and tidy as well. You know that unless you build a decent shed in your backyard to store all your stuff, your garage will be full of stuff so packed that you will never be able to find anything. No way will you allow your shinny new car to be left out in the weather so that you can use the garage for storage. Maybe your wife will allow you to store some stuff inside the house but that idea is soon discounted when she tells you she could do with some more cupboard storage.

You soon come to the conclusion that you need to plan how to build your new backyard storage shed. After you have worked out what you would like to store in it and allowed a bit of space for some extra stuff that a man just might need, you draw up some rough plans. You decide on two sets of doors so that it is easier to get to all your stuff without the need to pull things out first. It would also be nice to have a shed that matched the house.

You work out that first you need to lay a good foundation after making sure the ground is level so that your shed sits properly and does not end up like the old shed you are replacing. How big do you need to make the foundation and what does the building code require for a shed the size you are planning to build?

At about this point you start to think maybe there is an easier way to build your shed. It would be great if you could get some plans which are not only for the size shed you need but also list all the materials you need to build it. That sure would make the trip to timber yard so much easier. You could then confidently order everything you need without having to get the timber yard to work it all out for you.
