The Frugal Shed For Your Garden

So you want to have a great shed in your yard but you are short in money? Boy, I know how do you feel! But is there anything else I can give you besides compassioon. Sure, there is!

There is a way to have a shed really on the cheap.
But to be honest, it requires some work on your part. In fact, you'll have to build your shed yourself. But don't worry, there is no need to get architecture degree for that. We'll do it the easy way.

First, search online and find a free shed plan. Costs so far: $0. If finding free plans seems like a disaster, at least look for cheap shed plans, you'll get one for $5 - $25.

Then, find used or cheap materials in the factories around you. You may get surprised how cheap some factorties sell materials which are not good enough for their production. But they will be more than good for your outdoor garden shed.

You can find suich materials in furniture factories for example.

At the end, plan few weekends for work on your shed. Do the foundation first - for it you can use cement or even cheaper - sand and pebbles. Put some effort into making the foundation solid as this is the most important thing of all.

Then get the plan, carefully follow it and yuo will have no problems to build a simple but functional and very frugal outdoor storage shed for just few days. If this is your first do-it-yourself project, I recommend you using a simple design, some kind of rectangle probably.

Building a small 12'x8' garden shed yourself can cost you around $100 - $200 together with the plans and everything. How does that sound, is it frugal enough?
