Most of us find we don't have enough room to store all our possessions. If this is your problem, you are certainly not alone. We always seem to be acquiring more "things", and as our family expands so does our need for more more storage space.
Our family needed more space to keep our firewood. Before the kids came along we used the garage, but soon that space was taken up with bikes, skateboards and other items and it became too small to store all the extra junk we had...it was even getting too difficult to fit the car in! It was definitely time to make more space.
As winter got closer, it became obvious that we desperately needed a place to keep the firewood we would use during these coldest days.
I wanted to find a shed plan that would fit in with our house but would be easy to build. I spent some time looking at some shed plans online, and come up with a perfect little lean to shed plan that suited my needs perfectly. I knew it would look really great built alongside the back wall, and it had the added advantage of being really handy to the back door. This makes it a breeze to get more wood whenever we need without fighting the elements!
There are all sorts of different lean to shed plans, depending on what you want. Do you want a lean to shed with doors at the front or the side? This will keep any dangerous chemicals or tools away from your kids or animals. There are plans for potting lean to sheds, pool lean to sheds, woodstorage lean to sheds...just about any type of shed you can imagine.
The best thing about the lean to shed plan that I got was it was easy to adapt it to my own specific needs. Because it came with step by step instructions, I knew I would save myself the frustration of building my shed in the wrong order. This saved me a ton of time, and I felt safe knowing I wasn't missing out any important steps. The plan even had two versions, one for a free standing lean to shed and one for a shed that was fixed to an existing structure. One needs to be a bit stronger, which was something that hadn't actually occurred to me. So I found the plans really helpful. They also came with detailed instructions on how to correctly waterproof my shed. You learn something new every day!
We all love having the extra storage space, and it's great to be able to park the car in the garage again. It was a really enjoyable experience being able to build my own shed. In fact, I'm already planning my next project! I saved a bucket load of money doing it myself, and I learnt a lot too. It's really easy to build a shed youself, so don't hold back, find some plans and start planning and preparing to build your own shed this weekend. Just think of all the extra storage room you can enjoy!
