All Purpose Shed Plans and Building Guide from Black & Decker

 

Here's one set of plans that will help you build a lawn tractor shelter, a potting shed, a cabana or a backyard hobby shop.

 

Do you need a simple storage shed? How about a potting shed for next Spring's plantings, a lawn tractor shelter, or a cabana or backyard hobby shop? Here's one set of plans that will help you build any of those.

Black and Decker, Inc. calls their 8'x12' shed a Basic Storage Shed. it is that, but it can be more. They have designed a simple 8'x12' platform and stud-wall building that has higher side walls than most sheds. You can build it with simple doors and no windows for the maximum storage space. That way, you can hang tools and shelves on the walls and still have plenty of space left for your lawn mower, bikes and such.

However, you can also take advantage of the high walls for adding windows and doors wherever you want them. Add a potting bench and windows on the south wall of your shed to get your Spring seedlings off to a great start. Have north windows for a little backyard studio. Or, add French doors to create an attractive poolside cabana.

The finish materials for the basic shed also are true to its name: asphalt roof shingles, plywood siding, and simple trim details are appropriately practical. But, you can easily dress your building up with a cupola, siding to match your home and window boxes. You can purchase prehung doors and windows in any style, or build your own using the project plans.

At 96 square feet, the structure is below many building department's minimum size for required design review. It's planned to be build on pressure treated wooden skids, without a permanent foundation. Because of that and the small size, you may be able to build it without obtaining a permit. Check that with your community's building official.

The plans are accompanied by a complete materials list and an illustrated building guide with step-by-step instructions.
