Garden Storage Shed
Is your garage overrun by garden tools, hoses, and empty flower pots? The Garden Storage Shed is an attractive solution that you can build yourself. It has space for lawn and garden tools and a counter that’s perfect for potting plants. You can even get a head start on your vegetable and flower gardens in the greenhouse window. The feeling of spaciousness inside belies the shed’s 8- x 12-foot exterior dimensions. Straightforward lumber and plywood construction simplifies the project.
The easy-to-build barn door, constructed of plywood siding, provides a wide entry to the shed. Inside, clerestory windows and a Plexiglas skylight lend a greenhouse atmosphere to the shed. Want to design storage shelves and bins that meet your unique storage requirements? This plan gives you a good start with deep, easyaccess bins for firewood, bark dust or peat moss, and a storage bin for rakes, hoes and brooms.
