Sheds provide garden storage and remove clutter. Having a place to store your outdoor tools will extend their life and make them easier to access when needed.
With basic construction knowledge, the ability to follow a set of plans, basic hand and power tools and the willingness to build a concrete pad, you can have a garden shed!
Garden sheds are available in kits, where the lumber is pre-cut to size and it is only necessary to assemble all the parts, or you can use plans, purchase the raw material and cut it to size.
Always check with your local building authority before commencing the project.
