NEW - Revised and Expanded Shed the illusion that the building in your yard in which tools and backyard equipment are stored must be, by definition, a boring and ugly necessity. Now revised and expanded, SHEDS contains absolutely everything you need to know to design, build and enjoy the ultimate backyard shed. Award-winning designer David Stiles helps you think through the issues involved in shed design, such as use, size, cost, placement and "degree of difficulty." Following a chapter on construction basics, he guides you through each step of building a simple 8 x 10-foot shed -- from foundation to cupola and everything in between. This core chapter includes a materials list, step-by-step illustrated instructions and a daily labor schedule, as well as new information on timber framing and moving your shed to a different location. The book then presents several basic sheds, along with a number of more complex special-use sheds, including a basic 8 x 10 shed, 11 x 10 saltbox shed, irish garden shed, japanese boat shed, 9 x 10 storage shed on posts, and a 10 x 11 potting shed. The all-new storage shed on posts allows you to situate your building on a slope. Packed with detailed illustrations, plans, commonsense advice and an inspiring selection of color photographs, SHEDS is like having a consultant at your side as you work. Whether you are an average amateur builder or an ambitious expert, this book has something for you. If you want to build a shed, you'll want this book.
