Compact Lumber Shed

Description

IMPORTANT: READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING:

• The square footage of this shed is small enough that you are not likely to need a building
  permit to construct it on your property. That said, it is always a possibility (based on
  where you live), so make sure to check your local code before you begin.
• Also, check the local code to make sure it is legal to place this shed in the desired
  location on your property. There are lots of rules about where you can place a structure
  on your property, even if a building permit is not required.
• It is always a good idea to check with your neighbors and make sure they are okay with it.
  This is especially true if your neighbors can see the shed, or if it has any affect at all
  on their property. Keeping your neighbors happy will go a long way.

 

These instructions are a complete step by step guide that will show you how to build a compact lumber shed. These plans go along with a 3-part video series to help you with the build.

This project is designed to be an EASY build – no crazy joinery.

About the plans:

• Formatted for normal sized (8.5″ x 11″) printer paper, so you can print them at home.
• Includes Imperial (U.S.) version — Metric version coming soon!
• They also include:
  • A complete shopping list for the materials you need.
  • A complete list of parts you need to cut with all the dimensions necessary (with images).
  • Step by step instructions that accompany and compliment the build video.
