As spring rolls around there are a lot of us that get gardening fever, and your local hardware store counts on it and fill their isles with all sorts of unique equipment.
Before you put out your hard earned money consider where you are going to put all the additional equipment needed to tend a garden.
This is where a storage solution could come in handy and if you are a do it yourself type you may consider building a storage structure but before you tackle the job you may consider investing in a set of garden shed plans.
5 key points to remember before starting the project are: 1.
Decide what the garden shed is going to be used for.
This will determine the size/shape of your building.
Is it going to be used only as storage or were you considering using as a potting shed as well? This will dictate the size.
2.
Besides storing your equipment and potting material will it serve as a repair area as well? Because you will need more room for a work bench and generally a repair bench will not work as a potting bench, so it will require two different benches.
3.
Depending on where you live may dictate the type of roof you construct, will be flat or a gable? In a heavy snow climate the flat roof may not be a good idea! 4.
After you invest in a set of garden shed plans are you going to do the work yourself or hire a builder? If so having a good set of blueprints will make it easier to explain to your builder how you want it to look.
5.
What do you want your shed to look like? Do you want an attractive building with windows and double doors or a simple solution designed more for function than fashion? Regardless if it is a DIY project or you turn it over to the professionals having a good set of garden shed plans will certainly save you time and money.
Remember consult your area for any necessary building codes and don't build too small you may end up with more equipment than you think!
