Without Buying a Pre-built Shed Kit

Choose location and design. It's important the shed to be at a dry and not too sunny place, easy accessible and visible. When choosing your shed design, have in mind that narrow and tall sheds can store a lot more stuff than wide and low ones. Of course if you are planning your shed to be your summer house, you'll need a wider one. Here you have two options: you can buy professional shed plans or design your shed yourself. If you are designing yourself, stick to a simple construction - essentially all you need is a box with rectangle foundations.

Build the foundations. The foundation should be designed as square or rectangle. Install 9 deck piers - one on each corner, one on the center of each side and one of the center of the entire rectangle. Then attach 3 joists to the piers parallel to each other. Attach smaller joists perpendicular to the beams and above them so the entire thing form a lattice. Fill the empty spaces with gravel and sand (optional). Attach sheets of plywood over the construction to form the floor. Your foundations is ready.Cut the walls. You can make the walls either from boards or using a similar to the floor construction from joists and plywood. In the first case you need to cut the boards in equal size and grind them very well on the sides so they fit to each other without holes. Then attach three perpendicular joists to the boars - one on each end and one in the middle. This will make the walls more stable. If you choose the plywood method, follow the same "lattice" construction that you used for the floor. In this case you won't need any gravel and sand, neither deck piers of course, because the wall will have plywood on both sides of the lattice.

Join everything together. If you have followed the instrcutions from the shed plan correctly or have designed your own plan well, all the parts should compose a box without any gaps. Use nails, screws and triangle boards to fix the walls more stable. ...
