Note: This plan-set gives no allowance for a window, but does include a window opening in the wall frame that will accommodate a window 1200mm (4ft) wide x 600mm (2ft) high. The window opening in the framework can be changed without too much ado to suit a window of a different size.

I really needed a shed and decided to build it myself and thanks to your plans I was able to accomplish this project. I made some modifications and did make some mistakes but over all I am really please at the outcome. By the way this was my first attempt at building anything. I think I will try some of your other projects.
