12x18 Garden Shed Overview

It is with no doubt that a yard littered with lawn care machines, dirty bikes, sports gear, and toys is unsightly. If you want to improve the appeal of your disorganized yard, this 12×18 garden shed with a gable roof can be the perfect solution. 

With 216 square feet of floor space, this garden shed offers plenty of room for your lawn mowers, ATVs, wheelbarrows, bags of fertilizer, pesticides, rototillers, power tools, and other garden supplies. The shed’s 7-feet tall sidewalls give you plenty of height and convenient storage space for rakes, ladders, shovels, garden hoes, and more. You can also take advantage of the gable roof to create additional loft storage space or hand small garden tools.

No matter what garden tools and equipment you want to keep in this shed, you will quickly get them in and out — the shed has a 64-inch double-wide door. The shed is also fitted with 40-inch-sided windows on the sides to keep the inside illuminated while creating an illusion of openness. Its overall design makes it a suitable option for setting up a home office, backyard workshop, barbershop, or man’s cave. You just have to furnish and finish it to suit the purported use. 

The shed is built using robust pressure-treated lumber and on a reinforced platform, so you can trust it to serve you for years. To make a bold statement with the shed, finish or paint it to match other structures in your yard.

A nice set of plans to give us an idea… A nice set of plans to give us an idea of what it costs to build on site vs buying a prefab structure, and the quality differences between them. This set of plans is "bomb proof" according to my local lumberyard guy. 2x6 joists on 12" centers, compared to 2x4s on 24" centers for the prefab models. A real foundation, not just some 4x4 skids. It looks like a major amount of work, but the result could be a really nice garden shed sturdy enough to house our commercial-grade chipper as well as the big mower.

The price for plans is way too high The price for plans is way too high, but the plans are fairly decent. You DO have to know a little something about construction and adjustments of measurements, but for the most part, not too bad.

The plans are missing a critical step The plans were missing a critical step, and my original message to Shedplans wasn't received. I received a message from them after posting my problem here, and they subsequently sent me the revised instructions. Very grateful for their follow-up. Now if lumber prices would just return to normal....
