You could very easily go out and buy or order a fully constructed garden shed that comes with instructions to tell you the best way to install it, which takes a few hours. This looks very good to many folks, but it will also cost you a lot of money. This is why a lot more people are turning to building a shed with plans, which you can  easily get online.

To save some money you could go DIY style and build the shed yourself from scratch. If you have never done this before, take a look at the garden shed plans at diygardenplans.com, these plans are very simple to follow.  There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods. If you want to do build the shed yourself then you have to make sure you have the appropriate shed plans. Make sure you know where in the garden you are going to place it. Some people prefer their shed on their patio or backyard. You also have to make sure that there is going to be enough room for the shed. The size will depend on what you are going to put inside so if you want to protect your Harley Davidson from the rain then you have to know the exact measurements.

Building a garden shed also involves knowledge about the right kind of tools. This will include different types of saws, an angle grinder, a concrete trowel, a tape measure as well as a cordless drill. You will also need equipment for the doors and the windows as well as cladding materials. Different types of nails for different purposes will also come to good use.

The materials are an important factor here because durability is key to any shed and if you want to increase the lifespan of your shed then you won’t want to work with cheap timber. In fact this is the reason why people are opting for vinyl shed kits. A material like this has the advantage of resisting rot and wear and tear, but it will not look as a wood shed you can customize to match your landscape.
