Before you build a storage shed there are a couple of things you need to take into consideration such as the size you want to build, design, fondation and then there are the rules.
There are several different ruling parties we will call them. First do you live in a area that has a housing comission or some type of laws on what you can do to your house and property. If you are not sure ask around you would not want to do something that is against there rules.
Then you need to look at your city building codes as far as whatsize you can build with out needing a permit. And if they have any other codes that you may need to followsuch as foundation, clearances, roofing, and some cities evenhave ordinances on things such as windows
Now lets cover county codes they are usually preatty close to your city codes but just because your city does not have codes does not mean your county wont have codes. This is where alot of people end up with problems. You see just because you live in the city does not mean you do not have to follow county ordiences.
Now that you have dealt with most of the rules; and you have your houseing comissions approval,seen if you need building permitsand the clearances you need to have and so forth. Its time to get down to the fun part finding plans, getting the material needed, then building your storage shed.
There are all kinds of different web sites that offer shed plans so check them out but make sure to find one that will do the material list for you because this can be some what difficult. Make sure the design is something you will be able to deal with as long as you have your home because you dont want to get a couple of years down the road and not like the design. When you are looking at shed plans there are a couple other things to take into consideration, such as do you want to be able to use the rafters to hang things from, do you want windows if so how many, then there is the door do you want one door or two and how much clearance do you want between the door frame.
If you have the tools required for cuttingthe wood and building the actual frame then it should be rather easy to build your shed. And a little bit of construction experience would be valuable but not necessary.
Ok so now that all of that is covered where are you going to put the shed are you going to build a fondation for your shed or not. Which way are you going to put the door believe it or not this is very important if your shed doors are facing the wind it can not only be annoying but could cause problems in the future with damage to the door, the hinges and possible harm tosome one if the wind blows the doors into somebody
So now I believe we have covered all the basic'syou have your blue prints, your material list, an permits that might be needed, your material, and your tools. It is time to go to work have fun, be safe and enjoy your storage shed.
