Building your own storage shed is an inexpensive way to create that much needed storage space for you and your family. Not only is it the least expensive alternative to storage space rental, its virtually risk-free and accomplished by using a set of simple storage shed plans. These storage shed plans will serve three important roles: 1) Size and Design Knowing, ahead of time, the exact size and dimensions of the finished product is vital. This will help to eliminate the potential for costly re-design errors during the building process. Following a set of simple plans will also help insure that you build your storage shed within the budget you've established. And above all, the end product will be exactly what you need and expect. 2) Material Quantity A good set of plans will also supply you with a full list of materials. This list will include the size and quantity of all structural members needed (e.g. 2" X 4"s, 2" X 6"s etc.), along with plywood, roofing materials, window units, doors and even the quantity of nails, screws and caulking needed to complete the job. 3) Permits - Most municipalities and Home Owner Associations (HOA's) have regulations and restrictions on the use and the location of storage sheds in residential neighborhoods. Whether you build your own storage unit, or buy one pre-fabricated, you'll need to secure the proper permits. And a set of simple storage shed plans will satisfy this requirement. The only other drawing you may need is a dimensioned plan showing exactly where you intend to locate the storage shed in your backyard. Building your own storage shed is fun and gratifying, and it can save you thousands of dollars over time.
