• 16 complete shed plans
• A variety of views including: framing plan, elevations, cross section and rafter detail to name a few
• Detailed PDF instructions 
• Material list is included for each plan
• You can remove or add specific components to plan and it will automatically update the material list
• A complete list of tools you will need to build your new shed

The 16 shed plans come in a variety of styles and sizes,  from 8 x 8 shed to 14 x 10 foot shed.

A free e-Book is included that provides a lot of additional information, including:

• Learn countless building skills with step-by-step examples
