Where Can I Get Shed Plans.?
Question by Dbarselow: Where Can I Get Shed Plans.?
Hi People,
I would like very much to build a shed 10′X12′ or in that area of size perhaps on a trailer with wheels for town ordinance reasons. Where can I aquire plans for such a task. This will be my first time swinging a hammer in this type of project. All opinions are welcome. Thank you for your input.
More answers are needed. I have been to the major chain stores and they only want to sell already made sheds for thousands of $ . I want to buy lumber and build my own but I need building plans also.
search the internet
I would try your local do it your self store like Home depot, Lowes, Menards, UBC or any other store or lumber store like that. They usually have plans for those types of projects in a book.
People sometime junk their old RV’s -
whether it be a travel trailer or a motor home
or a lawnmower guy going out of bussiness.
Cheap and affordable AND when your done just sell it or pass it on to the next guy.
Just enter “shed plans” into any search engine. Some will want money for the plans, some will say free. A little searching there and you’ll probably find what you want.
We designed and are in the process of building our own shed. We used the book Taunton’s Building Like a Pro, Building a Shed available in the book section at Lowes. It gives detailed instructions for siting and planning a shed, designing a shed to match your storage needs, materials lists for economy and durability, how to complete floor, wall and roof framing, all the step by step information you need to build a great shed. He also gives you advice when things go wrong or you make mistakes. It is an inexpensive, invaluable resource guide with detailed plans, drawings and photos and we have found it indispensible in building ours.
