Sheds & Garages: Building Ideas and Plans for Every Shape of Storage Structure

Better than expected. Thank you!!!!

I used this book to build a shed, Years ago, then lost it, I wanted to teach sons and nephews how to make a shed, very happy to have found it again.

I purchased this paperback "idea" book to try and come up with an outdoor shop and to do some woodworking I no longer have space to do in my Garage, where over time I have accumulated way too much stuff. Also I could store some wood and get out of the house a little more. This book, Sheds & Garages, is a good source for the ideas I am looking for and with the other three, I have determined a shed with some additions that will let in more light, as it will be under some trees in the yard. Most of the project ideas in this book include mini plans, which are enough for me to build with and at the back of this book are many plans you can purchase for the larger buildings. Plan prices start at $20 and go up to $300+. I like it.

I can pretty much build anything that I can imagine. But the problem I have is trying to imagine something first. If you look around most neighborhoods the cookie cutter sheds (both metal and wood) are uninspiring. This book will take care of that. This book will give you the ideas and inspiration to go beyond what you can get at the home warehouse stores and actually make a utility shelter/shed that will enhance your backyard. The book covers all types of sheds and garages, from small to large. Even if your shed project is a future "to do" item you will still enjoy looking at the craftmanship that went into these structures.

I owned one of these before and lost it. Great for ideas and instructions on basics of building one.

I love daydreaming about building my own house and my eventual workshed. This has a ton of examples with floorplans and examples of sheds built out. It also highlights some of the basics of why you might want this or that foundation, framing technique, etc. It also has a section at the end where you can order the plans in the book (duh), but I really don't know how out of date that might be? I found the technical aspects to be informative for someone who doesn't do this kind of thing (construction) for a living. It lets me know what to watch out for.

The book I ordered arrived ahead of time, the description was spot on and the price was just right.Thank you for your Used book, in good condition, I hope the funds can be put to good use.

This is a pretty decent book. It has a good assortment of photographs to inspire, and it does a good job of describing the basics of building a shed or garage. The authors could have really knocked it out of the park by adding in some detailed information necessary for shed builders, such as tables showing lumber span lengths, and diagrams and span lengths of different trusses. But anyway a pretty good book.

Nice ideas
