subject: How To Choose The Right Set Of Plans For Wooden Sheds [print this page] Wooden sheds have been around for a long time and are very versatile in the way you can use them. If you are the type of person who chooses to do things yourself, then building your own wooden shed is a great project. Although they are relatively easy to build, a wooden shed can still be challenging enough to keep the interest of a seasoned handyman.
There are a few important things to consider before you purchase a set of plans.
A good starting point is to figure out how you'll be using your wooden shed. For example, maybe you just put in a pool and now you need a place to store all those new pool toys and chemicals. Or, you simply want it to store all those tools you have piling up in your garage.
So, the first step in choosing the right shed plans is to determine how you will be using your wooden shed. Since you know its purpose, then you will know (approximately) how large you will need to make it so it fits its intended purpose. This is important to remember when searching for shed plans.
Since you will most likely be searching online for your shed plans, the first thing you will notice is a either a photo of the actual shed or a three-dimensional drawing of it. Personal taste as to the style of the shed is another big factor in picking out your plans. If you know where you will be placing your shed (which you should), be aware of where the windows are placed and where the door will be located.
And finally, for the best set of shed plans, carefully look over the description of what's included. It's pretty important to have a lot of reference photos or illustrations of the shed as its being built. The best plans will also have exploded diagrams of the more intricate sections to build, which will make constructing wooden sheds easier. And, of course, there should be a complete list of materials that you can take with you when you go shopping.
