Build my own storage shed.

Choose the spot where you want the shed to be placed. Try to build the shed on the highest possible point of your garden to ensure water clogging is not an issue. Before you buy materials or start construction follow these steps. This instructable will show you the steps to building your own shed.

We ve created four different spaces. Dig two trenches 16 in. Build your own she shed. Fill the trenches with a 3 in.

Deep and 13 ft. Center the trenches 66 in. Building your shed will be easier if you follow shed plans. If so lay your concrete slab before you start building the base of the shed.

Use pressure treated timber to ensure the shed is resistant to rot damp and infestation. You may prefer to build your shed on a concrete slab to protect it from water that might seep up from the ground. You could create your own shed plans so your design is to your specifications.

Layer of gravel and compact it with a hand tamper. Repeat this process until the trench is full. When you build your own shed follow this guide and adjust the dimensions as needed or find an alternative shed design plan and refer to this guide for in depth instructions. In most areas small sheds don t require a building permit.
