I’m not a genius when it comes to shed construction, but I have had a
little experience when it comes to building a shed. It was a fun and
sometimes frustrating DIY project. The whole family got involved, and
we got it done. This is just the beginning of the story.
A few years ago, I bought a house and there were two problems that I
wanted to take on that were also interrelated. 1) I had no shed in the
backyard, and 2) there was a horrible looking throw-together awning and
deck on the back.
Being a fairly thrifty person, or maybe I should say “cheap,” I
decided to dismantle the awning and deck to use the materials for my new
shed. On other job sites that I helped a contractor on, I acquired
some old cedar siding. When I replaced my front door I saved the old
one for the shed, too. After a hurricane I inherited the window plywood
from three houses. It seemed I had almost everything that I needed to
begin.
The supplies were piling up, but I still needed the studs for the
walls. With some “encouragement” from my wife, who was sick of the
piles stacking up in the yard we finally brought out the saws and
hammers and began the building.
