Build Your Own Modern Shed for Sports Equipment, Tools, Hobbies, and More

Are you looking for a safe place to organize your landscaping and gardening tools? This 4×8 storage shed might be right for you. Without taking up much space in your yard, it offers 32 square feet of floor space, which is enough for keeping most of your tools and equipment organized and protected from the elements. 

The shed is engineered using high-quality materials, so you can be sure the structure will last years. It has tall side walls that allow you to store long-handled tools off the ground. 

With a little creativity, you can turn this seemingly compact space into a small yard workshop, art studio, dog’s kennel, kitchen coop, freelancing office, or reading space. It has a 2′ 8″ wide opening that lets you bring just about anything inside. The overall design also includes a 2′ 2½” sides square window that lets in enough light while making it possible for you to have a view of nature from inside.  

A gable roof crowns the shed, adding to its classic looks. You can paint the wooden walls to match your home for a seamless look.

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....
