Thank you for the great tutorial! Your plans were a great help! We are using it for a lil shop and to store the garden tools, lawnmower, and other stuff. We modified the plans to use a standard door and two small windows.

Are the plans available in metric?

Not currently. The plans you will get are imperial. You'll see inches and feet being used.

Do you have any videos to go along with the plans?

We have a youtube video that follows along very closely with the plans. There are a couple modifications in the plans that were done to simplify the build. Here is the link to the Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTPrEjCcX2k

How much does it cost to build an 8x7 shed?

The cost will vary depending on where you live and prices in your area. The cost to build it as a basic storage shed is close to $2000. Adding a patio door and window will increase it by about $700. The total cost for my build was close to $4800. This includes finishing the inside, insulating the floor, and building a deck.

Why would I want to build my own shed?

You can certainly buy a shed. The beauty of building your own is that you can get exactly what you want. The other huge benefit is you will learn the basics of building a structure. You'll be able to take your knowledge from this project to easily build another structure of any size.

Is this project built on skids?

Yes, this project is built with a platform and skids. The beauty of this is your shed can be built off site and moved to any location. Or, you can move the building if you every move to a new home or property. You could easily build this on a concrete pad without doing skids. But our plans only show how to build it with skids.
