 Sheds can be the most functional building on your property and can also have a distinctly romantic quality.
They can complement a home and its surrounding landscape and can be a destination for paths and a centerpiece for plantings or
even a decorative pond. They usually don't require any plumbing, wiring, or interior wall surfacing. Whatever you're going to
use your shed for, it's a fundamentally simple structure. Sheds can give an opportunity to use secondhand doors that don't have
the right size and style for the home. It may be easy to just buy a pile of lumber and build the shed in a weekend. But, you
need to plan ahead if you want it to look good and function well.
Begin by Drawing an Outline of the Shed
Think about your own needs as well as local codes and zoning laws. Then
start measuring everything you will store inside: cars, bikes, boxes, workbenches, lawn mowers, etc. and think about how all of it
will be stored. Make space for mowers, bikes, and boxes so you can walk around them.
Check Zoning Restrictions and Local Building Codes
In many areas, zoning restrictions and local building codes regulate where you can place your structure and define its maximum
dimensions. To find out, consult with your building inspector. He will let you know if you'll need a building permit and inspection
to see if the structure meets minimum code requirements. Once you know of any restrictions, you can pick the final spot to put it.
Think about access and traffic flow in all four seasons. Walk around and observe how the structure will be seen from your house or
property line.

On a gable shed, the two halves of the roof join together in the classic triangular shape. Gable roofs are simple and economical to build and offer superior load-bearing and drainage capabilities.
A hip roof is formed by sloping the ends of a gable roof toward the center. This creates an overhang around all four sides of the structure.
A gambrel roof is a gable roof with two slopes or pitches on each side. It's more complicated to frame, but it offers a lot more headroom and storage space than a gable roof.
A salt-box, or offset-ridge shed, is similar to a gable except that storage space is added to the front and capped with a narrow roof section. This creates a ridge line that's offset from the center and also more space inside.
A lean-to roof design is inexpensive and easy to frame. But because of the slope, headroom inside varies a lot from front to back.
