Storage Sheds and Backyard Barns

I've been writing about storage sheds and backyard barns since 1999, when I first posted my little d-i-y shed & barn website. At first, I wanted to simply list all of the shed plans I could find on the web. Back then, there weren't many plans out there. These days, it seems like there's no end to them!

But truth be told, there are probably more ugly plans these days, than not. And I surely can't advocate building an ugly shed!

Building a backyard structure from scratch can be a daunting task. It's tough to visualize exactly how the finished structure will look when you start out by staring at a set of blueprints.

Want a way to make your work easier? Consider starting with a storage shed kit ... that way, you'll know what it'll look like before you start hammering away. And, just as importantly, the whole project will come together much more quickly.
