Shed Building Plans - 5 Ways to Save Money Using Shed Building Plans!

Storage buildings are functional additions to your backyard. A good building needs to be functional, well built to last for years, and attractive. Before you decide on which shed building plans you should use, ask yourself these questions.

*What is the purpose of building a shed?

*What are you going to be storing in it?

*Will you be storing lawn equipment, gasoline, oils etc... in it?

*Do you want it to provide security for the contents?

*What type and design will suit your needs best?

Now that you've answered these questions you have a better idea of the type of building you need. You should also consider that this new building is also going to add to the value of your home. Think about the location, doors, windows and ceiling height. Pick a plan that has the door in the center so you can access the contents from the left, right and back. [Measure your biggest piece of equipment and be sure that the door is wide enough] It's better to have a couple inches wider...this will save your knuckles!

How can you save money using shed building plans?

*Whether you high someone to build it or do it yourself, having a plan will save time and money, by not having to figure out size, materials, size of floor joists, ceiling joists etc...

*Saving even more money if you built it yourself. Carpenters charge between $25 to $35 dollars an hour.

*With the plan in hand you'll be able to pick a good location fast. The plan gives you a front or side elevation [picture] of the finished product.

*A good plan will include the type of wood needed for the base [floor] it should be treated lumber so it doesn't rot in a few years.

*You can save more money by choosing a metal roofing material. Lasts basically forever if it doesn't blow away! Use extra screws [not nails] along the bottom and sides. Roofing material comes in a wide range of colors. The shed building plans you choose should give you detailed instructions and include good pictures.
