If you’ve found your way here, I’m betting you are about to begin your own shed building project and are researching which shed plans to follow. Whether you are looking to build a simple tool storage shed or a larger multi-use shed for tools, cars, or more, you will get plenty of ideas here to help you decide which shed plans to follow.
“Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail”
Before you start any type of constuction project, including building a shed, the most important step is to find a good set of plans you can follow. Without them, you are asking for trouble. Higher costs, excess material waste, and extended timelines can all be avoided by starting your project with a solid set of plans. So whether you create your own plans on paper or the computer (I prefer using Google Sketchup for mine), get them from a library, the hardware store, or even the internet, be sure to follow some type of plan to achieve your best chance at success.
Where I get my shed plans.
I started out spending hours in the local library and book stores trying to find the right plans for my projects. While my projects were typically successful, this caused me to lose a lot of time by traveling from place to place. Now I am a big fan of using the internet.
Once I started looking online my access to plans got much better. I tried downloading some of the free shed plans I found through google, but they always seemed to be extremely basic and uninteresting. It was the more detailed plans that I wanded. I found they were typically going for about $20 each. This started to add up after a few purchases.
I mentioned my complaint to Richard one day (a fellow woodworking enthusiast). He showed me where he had gotten a fantastic collection of plans. Over 12,000 of them. I couldn’t believe it. There were more shed plans, fireplace plans, gazebo plans, furniture plans, etc than I knew what to do with. The site was MyShedPlans (click here to open a new window).
I ordered my own copy for a small one-time fee and was able to download the plan collection instantly. The price was less than the last two sets of plans I had just purchased. I also was able to get in on a whole bunch of bonus material at the time I ordered (not sure if that is still available) that was great reading for me since I love wood working.
Why I recommend the MyShedPlans package.
Simply put…they have a 100% Money-Back Guarantee. To me, when a company is willing to stand behind their product like that, I want to do business with them. But don’t take my word for it. You can click below to be taken to their website and decide for yourself.
