Outdoor Shed Plans/Ideas?
Question by 123m: Outdoor Shed Plans/Ideas?
I am looking to build an outdoor shed to keep my chinchillas in, I’ve seen many people do it and I really need more space. I currently have six chinchillas and am planning on expanding my herd to atleast ten.
Since I live in Canada (where it gets snowy and cold) it would have to be insulated. I would need to to be heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. (I’ve been thinking solar) Any ideas of how I could go about doing this? Does anyone have any plans?
Any information will be appreciated. Thanks.
Home improvement stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot probably have books with project ideas:

A local library may have similar books, but there are probably good online sources worth browsing as well.
Make sure you don’t run afoul of any local building codes, though…that the shed’s not too close to the main house, too close to utility poles, and so on.
Good luck.
