How To Build A Storage Shed

Last updated Dec. 26, 2016 This page contains information on how to build a shed and storage shed plans. Here are a couple of things to consider before you begin this project. Find out before building a storage shed if it will be allowed by zoning regulations. Zoning governs the size, height, and location of your shed.

 

Find out if you need a permit. Your shed may need to be set back a specific distance from the property line, fences, and buildings. The distance can range from 6 inches, and up to 3 feet or more. Check with your zoning laws for your requirements before you start building your storage shed. Zoning regulations will vary from area to area, where I live I was allowed to build a shed 12 feet by 12 feet without getting a permit, anything bigger I would need a permit. Check with local building and zoning department for the requirements in your region.

 

Also, you want to check for utility lines. Contact your local utility to find out where the water line, gas line, and electrical line run through your property. You do not want to build over utility lines that may need to be repaired.

 

I have included pages with garden/storage shed plans. These pages have step-by-step instructions on how to build a shed. Detailed pictures, a material list, and a cutting list are also included. You can also check out the list of of popular sites with free shed plans.
