This detailed shed plan-set is in both Standard and metric dimensions. It is built on skids, meaning that there are no footings or foundations and that the finished shed is able to be moved. The side cladding is board and batten and the roof cladding is corrugated roofing iron over plywood sheathing.
Simply go to any page listed below. The step by step instructions also have drawings and any words or terms used in the plan-set are explained in the 'Glossary of Terms'.
