If you are overwhelmed with clutter or desperate for a quite work space, 12x16 shed plans DIY can provide the answer you seek. Sheds are great for storing seasonal equipment like lawnmowers and snow blowers as well as tools like ladders and shovels. These cozy buildings also provide an ideal work space for those who wish to find a place to call their own.
What to Look For in Shed Plans
A good set of shed plans will include drawings set to scale along with construction details like a nailing schedule. In addition, shed plans are most helpful when they include a materials list that includes both the size and the quantity of the materials required to construct the shed.
Keep in mind that choosing to build a shed yourself does not exempt you from local building ordinances. Most municipalities require a property owner purchase a building permit. The building inspector will most likely have to approve the plans before construction commences and then give the final okay once the shed is built.
Easy-to-Add Style
Most homeowners are pleasantly surprised to learn a shed is not necessarily synonymous with a box-shaped building void of windows. A number of plans available today include modern studio designs for the stay-at-home office. Quaint cottage looks and green house designs are also popular among hobbyists. For the traditionalist, barn sheds, gable sheds and lean-to plans are also readily available.
In addition to customizing the look of the shed through up-to-date designs, a number of DIYers add personality to their sheds through the use building materials. Siding can be used in place of plain painted walls, and elaborate wood trim can add a unique look. Affordable materials that resemble the look of slate and copper are also available as roofing options.
Take a Breather Now and Then
Remember, just because you are a do-it-yourselfer does not mean you are required to do everything on your own. Sometimes, it is worth the small expense to give yourself a break or to hire someone with the expertise to do a job in half the time. A great place to splurge when it comes to expense is choosing a contractor to excavate or a mason to pour a foundation slab. And if you opt to add electrical or plumbing features to the shed, a licensed and insured professional is always the best bet when it comes to completing this work.
Oftentimes, neighborhood boys are happy to be hired to help out with building postholes. Younger kids who want to help out can do their part by clearing the shed site of rocks and small branches. The whole family can get involved with this DIY project, though admittedly, some will be more help than others.
After reading about all of the unique ways to customize a shed, a true DIYer is likely ready to build their own special building. Choosing a good set of 12x16 shed plans DIY is a great place to start!
