76. The Hutch Shed
I really like this shed. It has enough space in it to store larger items like bicycles or a lawnmower. This shed also has a window in the back to add some natural light.
However, what makes this building so unique is the hutch on the side of it. It is large enough to store some recycling bins or any other smaller items you might need to access regularly. It is a truly charming shed.

77. The Colonial Shed
This shed reminds me of old colonial houses. Maybe it’s just me, but I see the connection. Either way, it is a beautiful shed with multiple doors and windows.
The doors on it are both double doors so it would be very easy to move large items in and out of this shed. Add some flowers to those beautiful front windows, and you have much more than natural light. You have a picturesque addition to your property.

79. The Potting Shed
So if I ever do away with my own shed, this would be a close match to what I would build in its place. Talk about attractive and functional, this shed is certainly both. You have a great size shed for most items that need to be stored.
However, you also have a great little lean-to attachment with a potting bench that is meant for planting. To make it even more attractive, they added a Dutch door and a few windows for natural light.

80. The 8 x 8 Lean-To Storage Shed
This storage shed will give you ample amount of room to store all kinds of things from your sports equipment to your lawn mower. It a little more on the modern side of the design with its shape.
The really cool thing about this building is that it is mobile. It too is on a skid foundation so you can move it at any time. That is always a great feature to have on a homestead as things change quite often. You never know when you might need a building to move to make things flow better.

81. The Two-In-One Colonial Style Shed
This is the ultimate shed. It is beautiful to look at and is also functional in more ways than one. If you are like my family, we use a lot of wood during the winter as a supplemental heat source. Having a place to store your wood within your storage building would be an amazing thing to have on your homestead.
So if that is you, this building can offer you just that. You’ll have an ample amount of room to store things and move around in your building. All the while, your wood can be stored neatly in an attached, covered room.

82. The Basic Backyard Shed
This is not an overly complex shed. According to the plans, it can be built in a few weekends. It shouldn’t be overly expensive to build either.
Just because this shed doesn’t scream “Glamour!” doesn’t mean that it still can’t do its job. It is an 8×8 structure and therefore has an ample amount of space to fulfill most storage needs.

83. The 8 x 12 (Or Larger) Shed
This shed is a very traditional shed. However, if you are someone that just needs functionality then you might want to save yourself the extra cash that the glitz and glam cost and go for function.
If you decide to go that route, these plans are amazing. The reason is that an 8×12 storage shed is a pretty good amount of storage space. However, if you decide that you need to scale these plans up or down they claim these plans are designed to help you do that with ease.
