Here's another great site with free plans! Was looking for some ideas on how to build a shed.

Fantastic sheds (barns) but I don't think I'll ever get hold of enough wood to build one!!
:roll:

neat! loads of stuff there.

collect the big pallets AA. i found the easiest way to break them up (less storage space) is to get two crowbars and lever the planks upward rather than trying to hammer them off the crossmembers

Thanks Leeky! Just need to find a good supply of quality pallets. Hubby reckons we can build a bigger and better shed than we could afford to buy but I'm not sure where we'll get enough wood from and if we'll manage to build it stable enough. Desperatley need to have a go though as the "shed" left on our allotment is about to fall down!

it can definitely be done FAR cheaper than buying one. heres mine ( another chance to show the pic again

)

cost me screws and felt. all the rest was found or pallets. its a 12x10 and i get smug when i read the prices in the cataloge for an equivalent

Aunt Sally · « **Reply #11 on:** April 19, 2007, 21:47 »

leeky · « **Reply #12 on:** April 19, 2007, 21:50 »

shaun · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2007, 21:51 »

and another thing you can tell its a mans shed is because there are no bent nails
