There is a storage shed plan or blueprint for every imaginable purpose because human beings are very active with many interests. Sooner or later the things we accumulate from our activities and our hobbies overpower our living areas. We discover we want or need to make our environment more efficient and/or comfortable.

To me a storage shed is nothing more than a square box. But the purpose of the box is what separates it from being a simple carrying container to being more.

Imagine what it would be like to build a lean to shed housing a few garden tools. The lean to is the simplest of shed designs, an excellent project for a beginning woodworking enthusiast.

The rear of the lean to is supported by an existing wall or building. You would just need to fasten three sheets of pressure treated wood and a sloping roof. The lean to is sheltered by surrounding structures or trees as it is placed under a staircase or against fencing. The front of the lean to is usually left open or you could secure a drop canvas or plastic sheeting.

See yourself in the future possibly building a car shed, otherwise known as a garage, a bicycle shed, motorcycle shed, boat shed, riding lawnmower shed or snow mobile shed.

Do you have a green thumb?

Just picture yourself constructing a greenhouse.

Types of plants will dictate the style and size of the greenhouse. A small greenhouse is great to grow small or starter plants which will be moved to a flower or vegetable garden when seedlings are ready.

Orchids and other larger foliage will require a larger building as these types of hobby plants will remain in the greenhouse.

Think back to when you were a child wishing you had a special room of your own. Today, you can have that room.

The storage shed has advanced to a new level in our modern world. Sheds have become second or an additional room away from the main house. There are many shed blueprint designs which you can choose particular to the function of each building.

The shed design may be A-frame, or barn style with or without a porch, barn shaped garage, pet barn, saltbox style greenhouse, a playhouse, pool cabana, cottage, or a replica of your personal home.
