Like I wrote few times ago, building a shed by using shed plans is a cheap and exciting method of building. It requires time, skills and patience, but the results can be very rewarding.
Before using storage shed plans you need to to buy them. I recommend plans that can be downloaded online because you don't need to wait. You can instantly download them, print the plan and start your work.
When you select the plans make sure to read carefully all the instructions. Good plans will include detailed information about the quality and quantity of the materials required so you won't pay for waste.
Try to follow closely the sizes in the plans. If you get them wrong, you may end up with a messed outdoor shed.
Building a shed by using storage shed plans can take somewhere between few days and few weeks - it depends on your epxerience, passion and free time.
Learn how to calculate proprotions. This could let you scale the final shed a little bit as opposed to what is created in the plans. This is however recommended only to experienced shed builders.
Have in mind that the plans fro steel sheds are different than the plans for wood/timber sheds and those for plastic/vinyl sheds. So you'd better decide on the exact shed type before you buy the plans.
Whatever you decide about the details, have in mind that using storage shed plans is probably the best way to build exactly the shed you want.

Several Cool Resources About Sheds And Barns
Everyone who is interested in building or purchasing a shed or barn, must do some research first. I have done a lot myself, and over time I have picked several sites which proved to be very good. Most of these sites provide just free information or discussion, while on other you can buy sheds or shed kits.
How to build a garden shed is probably my favorite resource. They have some very interesting articles and a great e-course which helps you build an outdoor shed yoursels.
BettyMills is maybe the best online store for garden sheds and shed kits. Their sheds are of very high quality, the prices are OK and there is a good variety. To be honest I have seen similar shed kits cheaper on Amazon, but you can't have everything in the world.
About landscaping - the About.com's page on landscaping covers much larger topics, but their sheds and barns related content is simply great. Like most About.com guides are anyway.
The Helpful Gardener is a great forum about gardening. Covers all of the aspects it's have and there are many discussions about outdoor storage sheds. It's easy to receive an advice on anything if you need it.
So, what are your favorite online resources about storage sheds?

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?
