To build a shed for your garden supplies starts with planning. You will need to know how big a shed you want or need for your tools and other items. When you know the approximate size of the building you want a plan can be obtained. Many home improvement stores and hardware stores have these plans available. If you cannot find one you like a plan can be found on the internet.

When you have the plan you like it is time to round up the material needed. Most plans come with a material list or you can buy the shed in a kit form. You can buy framework that includes floor and wall framing connected to the roof framing system. Choose the type of exterior finish you want when picking your materials.

When framing you lay out all the framework on 16 inch or 2 foot centers. The dimension lumber is nailed so sheathing will splice on a joist, stud, or rafter. If you do not have premade kits you frame the floor first. A floor should be framed at 16 inch centers for strength. Cut the floor framing so you have the outside dimensions you want. Nail joists between the rim 3/4 of an inch behind center marks. Sheet the floor with plywood or oriented strand board. Green treated material should be used if it will be in contact with the ground.

Frame the walls at 16 inch or 2 foot centers. If you are using kit pre made framing this will already be in place for you. Crown your studs so the crown is up. Nail between your plate material with two 16 penny nails. Snap lines on floor the width of your dimension lumber in from outside. Stand wall and nail on line. Do this to all walls making sure to frame openings for a door and windows if desired.

When walls are framed and standing sheet the walls with plywood or OSB. You can also use a 4 x 8 plywood siding product that is structurally sound. Place rafters on top of wall plates at 2 foot centers. Nail down with 12 penny nails. Sheet the roof with a 1/2 inch plywood or OSB product. Apply a facia board to the heels of the rafters. Apply roof edge, weather shield, felt, and shingles or metal roofing material.

Put the doors and windows in. Side your shed unless you sheeted with a 4 x 8 sheeting project. You can put wood, vinyl, or metal siding on the exterior. Decorate your garden shed the way you would like it.

Building Your Wooden Storage Shed or Storage Shed Kits

Building your first wooden storage shed can be a daunting undertaking. You have not done this type of project before but you know it is absolutely necessary. You have so much stuff stored in the basement, the attic and the garage that there is just no room left.

Well if you are a complete novice then you might want to start by purchasing a storage shed kit. The entire shed is in a box and you just erect it. If you are slightly more adventurous and feel like you can follow a good shed plan you can start from scratch. There are some basic skills that are required but they can be learned as the project progresses.  Here are some basic tips in building your first shed.

The very first thing to consider is the size of the shed required. You want to build it large enough so that you still have storage room when you have cleared out all the stuff from the attic, garage, and basement. Also consider the size of your lot. Do you want to keep some of the backyard open so that you can still use it? There will be building codes to adhere to in your jurisdiction as well.  The height of the shed and proximity to your neighbour’s lot line must also be taken into account. Find out where the hydro, water, and cable lines are that run under the surface of your property so that you do not build over them or dig into them.

Now that you know the size and location of the shed the next thing to do is find a storage shed plan that suits your need. It is better not to take on a project that is so detailed that a journeyman carpenter’s ticket is needed. Keep it simple but be sure that the design will blend into the surroundings. Choose a plan that supplies a parts list that clearly lays out quantities and has cut sizes for all the elements (i.e. Ceiling rafters, wall studs etc.). This will make the erection of the shed much simpler.

Next you will want to decide on the type of foundation the shed will sit on. There are two types of foundations to choose from. If you live in a fairly dry climate where the soil stays relatively dry year round a simple skid foundation will suffice. With this type of foundation the shed can actually be moved in the future. If you live where there is an abundance of rain and or snow than a cement slab foundation might be best. This one takes a little more work to put in and is also more permanent than the skid.

The shed walls will be next on the agenda. Do you want to insulate the walls? If so the easiest way is to have plywood walls on the inside and outside with a simple lattice in between. You can also use fibre-glass or rock wool fibre batting stuffed in between the wall studs. The batting is really inexpensive and really easy to apply.

Your next concern will be the shed doors. Double doors are great if you are going to be moving items like lawn mowers and wheel barrows in an out of the building. Should you be using the building as a workshop with tools and building materials being moved in and out double doors will also benefit this activity. Proper alignment of doors is critical to assure that they open and close properly so take a lot of care when measuring for them

Finally the roof design for the shed should be decided upon. A good durable roof that will withstand the weather and also be attractive is important. A flat roof in a climate where there is considerable snowfall in the winter may not be such a good idea.  A better choice would be a gable or gambrel (barn roof) that will shed the snow in winter and either one is ascetically pleasing. Roof trusses are needed for both roof types but they are quite easily built.

Happy building!

How to wall-mount a 77lb TV on metal studs?

I have a 50" Plasma TV weighing in at 76.8lbs that I need to mount in my living room. I bought the wall-mount kit and discovered I have metal studs in the wall I'm using. The lags that came with the kit are for wood studs and I would like to know the best way to go about mounting this. I did some reasearch and people have recommended toggle bolts. Can anyone vouch for these? Are there better solutions? I don't want to cut the wall and install wood support studs with the metal (too much work). Thanks in advance.

Here is a thought... since you have metal studs, how about installing plywood to the wall about the same size as the TV mount or even the TV? To mount the plywood would be simple with self-taping machine screws with washers and at least 2 screws per stud. Then install the mount to it. There are sheets of plywood with finished surfaces that you could even frame. If you didn't like this thought... the metal studs would hold the TV and even the toggle bolts would work... you only have sheer weight (vertical load against the screws) to deal with. It would work
