Last month I took a little road trip over to a big box store and could not believe
my eyes when I say that they wanted over a thousand bucks for a plastic shed so I returned home and typed "How to build a shed" into Google search and found the answer I was looking for. Now I need you to understand that I am not exactly a master carpenter but for the most part I am able to follow directions so I felt empowered to begin my greatest project to date. Through this article I will share with you what I learned and will show you how I saved a boatload of money by building my own storage shed
To buy a storage shed from a store is going to cost you a heck of a lot of money but if you are willing to put in the work and grab the hammer you can save a bundle. Instead of a cheap plastic structure that can barely hold all of your outdoor equipment and appears to be able to blow over in the slightest wind you can build a solid shed that will last you for years to come. Take a look at the cost of lumber and building supplies and you will quickly realize why I chose the do it yourself path.
So I am picky. My wife tells me this fact over and over again and in the case of the great project it meant I did not want a design that seems to be found all across the city. When I ordered My Shed Plans it came with over ten thousand designs so it was just a matter of sitting down and reviewing the material and finding a design that spoke to me and that my wife would approve of.
As I mentioned before I am not a master carpenter and lightning strikes the same place a lot more frequently than I can muster but with the carefully detailed plans from My Shed Plans heck even I could figure it out. After convincing my neighbor that he owed me a favor and allowed me access to his cool tools I was set to begin my summer project and build my own storage shed.
Turns out the summer project only took a few days to complete and now I have a storage shed in my back yard that looks like it cost thousands but in actuality it cost a fraction of that. I have the shed that I wanted and with the help of My Shed Plans everything came together in a much easier manner then expected. If you want to go ahead and spend a thousand bucks on a piece of plastic than go nuts otherwise save your pennies and build your own storage shed.
