61. The Garden Shed Addition

So this is not a project for those new to DIY. As cool of a project as it is, it is extensive. It is also known for costing quite a bit of money too.

However, if none of those factors stop you then go for it. It is meant to be attached to another structure such as the outside of your house or a garage. It has a place for storage and a potting bench as well. Oh, and please do not forget the gorgeous windows.

62. The Shed With A Front Porch View

I love this shed. Let me just be the first to say it. The fact that it has plenty of storage space is just a bonus.

However, I am a porch person. My home has got to have a porch of some kind and any added building to our property that could offer a porch with it, I’m sold. So if you are like me and would love to have a great place to relax plus a storage shed rolled into one great package then this could be the shed you’ve been looking for.

63. The Outdoor Storage Locker

If you only need a small place to store small tools and garden supplies then this could be a great project for you. It is low cost and not very time-consuming.

The best thing about it is it takes up very little space and is beautiful to boot. You can buy assembly required storage lockers that cost more than this and don’t have nearly the same amount of character that this little beauty has.

64. The Schoolhouse Storage Shed

Okay, let me just say this. If you have the financial means and know how to build this shed, please do!

It is the cutest shed I’ve seen in a while. I am a sucker for rustic charm so any shed that can bring out old school charm and functionality and then wrap it into one little package, again, I’m sold.

65. The Pallet Shed #2

I’m a sucker for pallets. Any material that I can gather for free and build something useful from, I’m all in. Not to mention I love rustic and pallets usually equate to rustic charm.

This shed is no different. He is able to take quite a few pallets and build an amazing creation. So if you are short on funds but have plenty of pallets lying around, don’t fret. You can have one amazing shed.

66. The Build-Eazy 8 x 10 Storage Shed

This is another traditional style storage shed. The plans come complete as a guide and with a link where you can read what other users of the plans had to say about their build. You can also find answers to some of your questions through this link.

The shed itself offers a window for natural light and a wide door so you can fit larger items through it. So if you are needing storage for more than a few garden tools this shed can handle it.

67. The DIY Gable Shed

This gable shed is large enough to accommodate larger items. So if you are looking for a shed that could hold larger yard equipment this one is up to the challenge.

These plans are actually one out of the 100+ plans that are not free. However, for a small fee, they offer you the detailed plans to this shed as an easy download. You can also get a handy shopping list that can be downloaded and easily accessible.

68. The NZ Wood Garden Shed

These plans are not as easy to read as some of the others. So if you are new to the carpentry scene, you may want to seriously consider this project before you dive into these plans.

You are given detailed instructions as far as materials needed and how to build each part of the shed, but the pictures are minimal. So if you are a visual person this particular project could prove to be a little difficult.

69. The Gable Storage Shed

​

​This is a very basic shed but would be very suitable for someone needing a middle of the road shed. You don’t particularly need a huge shed, but you need more than a small garden tool shed.

If that is you, this could be a good option. Also, if you are new to building things this might be a good option as well. The plans are very detailed and have lots of pictures to help walk you through the process.

70. The Gambrel Storage Shed

Let’s say you want to build a shed, but you aren’t sure you won’t need to move it sometime down the road. So this makes you a little nervous to put it on a permanent foundation. Well, no fear.

This gambrel storage shed is built on a skid foundation. That means that you can move it later on if you need to. Beyond that, it is roomy and has a bit of country charm.

71. The Barn Style Shed

If you are someone that loves the country style then this barn style shed might be right up your alley. It is roomy and provides that specific charm.

However, let’s take this one step further and talk about the actual plans. They are great. There are lots of pictures and details that make building this barn style shed a much easier task.

72. The Cottage Style Shed

I smiled as soon as I saw these plans. This is an adorable shed. I know, most people probably think, “Who cares if the shed is adorable? Is it functional?”

Well, the answer is yes it is functional, and yes I am that one crazy homesteading woman that wants everything to look pretty if I can help it. If you are like me, this shed does that. It goes so far as to have a little porch area and skylights. What more could you want?

73. Octagonal Shed

I am a fan of all things octagon. The reason is that though they have awkward spaces at times because they are rounder, they withstand high winds really well.

If you live in an area where wind can often be a problem then you might want to consider this. The plans are great and are very visual. As you can tell I’m a visual person so I consider that super important when considering what I should build next on our homestead.

74. Old West Storefront Shed

If you want something unique, this is it. This shed is built to look like a saloon. It has a great little porch you can relax on but also offers lots of storage for whatever your needs may be.

The plans are great and break down each section for you. If you are looking for something not quite so “cute” but still packed with character, this might be just for you.

75. The Super Shed

This is a great little tool shed. It is big enough to walk into but not so big that you can store lots of large items.

If you are looking for a place that you can store your garden tools, push mower or weed eater, and your garden clothing then this is just the right size.
