I don't have
my receipt or S.O. number, but I did
just complete constructing my shed
today. I had never built anything
larger than a dog house before, so I was
apprehensive going back and forth to
Home Depot for materials, then cutting
all flooring, framing and roof members
in advance. When I started putting
my pieces together I said to my wife,
"This things fits like a
glove". I appreciate your
attention to detail. I will not
hesitate to take on another job, using
your plans. It was fun.
Thank you,
Robert Baird

# 1141 |

This was the first building
the owner of this charming saltbox style
shed ever built. It was adapted to suit their
needs and built in New York State. At 10'
X 10' it offers them a lot of storage
space.
The smaller pictures on

them. They
show a lot of construction details and
nice workmanship. |

I
built the shed by myself in my
spare time in 31 days and this is
the largest project, and only
building, I've ever built.
One
of the reasons that I decided to
use Just-Sheds plans was because
of the convenience provided by
being able to order and download
on-line. This saved me lots
of time in getting my application
submitted.
The
City of Saratoga Springs is
located close to the Adirondack
region of New York State and
within an area that can experience
heavy snows. The NYS
Building Code requirements
necessitated modifying the roof
design to include 2x6 rafters, a
2x8 ridgepole, and 1/2" roof
sheeting.
The
City of Saratoga Springs is a
beautiful and historic small City
and they want to keep it looking
good. This review required a
site plan, proposed elevation
views, and proposed material and
color selections. I was able
to modify and color the elevation
views provided by Just-Sheds for
this purpose.
I
selected siding materials and
colors to match the look of my
1925 era house, though I chose to
use 100 percent vinyl on the shed
for low maintenance.
The shed is white on the bottom
half and blue on the top half just
like my house. The shed roof
shingles are Colonial Slate in
color to match the slate stepping
stones of the pre-existing path
leading to the shed. I now
hope to reside my house some day
to match the shed!
One
of the biggest challenges was
construction in a very tight
location. The shed is
located in one corner of my back
yard. My small downtown city
lot is only 33 feet wide, is
entirely surrounded by a tall
wooden fence, and is heavily
landscaped. I had to trim
quite a few trees and bushes to
make room. Along the left
side of the shed I have a row of
15 foot tall cedar shrubs only 1
foot away from the foundation.
The back side of the shed is
offset just 5 feet from my
fence/property line.
By
the way, I had a lot of fun
building this!

Hello! I'm happy to see
my photos still on your website as an
example of plan 1141. My desire to reside
my house some day to match the shed, as
described in the narrative, have now
finally been fulfilled. Attached is a
photo. The shed has been very well used,
is still like new, and served as a model
for the house!

I
purchased your 3416 plan, 14x20, but will be
building a 16x 20 shed. The previous
email from you explains how to do the roof
rafters for the additional width of the
shed. If I make the top and bottom
rafters 8.4 inches longer can
I still use the templates for the angles and
birds mouth from the plans?
Thanks for your help.

We just finished siding
the front of our shed this afternoon and
think it looks terrific! The shed plan is
2312. We modified the plans to create a
12x16 shed, large enough to house our
tractor.
We opted to add fish scales on the
gable, which coordinate with the scales we
have on our house.
We’ve ordered a door, but it
won’t be in for a week or two, and we
still have to do the landscaping so we
don’t consider it complete just yet.
We are very happy with the plans we
received and our progress thus far! Thanks
again for making the plans so easy to
follow. It allowed us to build the shed
ourselves and get exactly what we wanted. |

I received my plans
yesterday in the mail. Thank you very much
for your prompt response. I look forward
to building this shed and will let you know of
the outcome and forward some pictures, if you'd
like.
Thank you again.
Your site was a terrific find for me. Just
what I was looking for in the way of a workshop
shed.

I
purchased your plan THE
RIDEAU number 2415 10x12 shed.
Came out nice, I loved your plans made
things easy!
I
customized it, I made use of pressure treated for
floor joists, floor, and bottom plates. Beefed
up the roof with ˝” plywood and made the door
4” smaller than the plans and moved it towards
center, also changed the ventilation to
soffit & ridge.
Obviously we like stained sheds so opted
for T1-11 and splurged on the best stain we could
get (in our case we got Cabot, New Cedar
semi-solid) applying 2 heavy coats.
Took about 3 months from start to finish
working mostly nights and weekends.
Using high quality materials I estimate the
final cost was $2,500 - $3000 when all said &
done and worth every penny we love it.
Just need a flower box under the window!

BTW
between us I screwed up at first and ordered the
2427 and you were nice to send me the 2415 which
was what I really wanted (the plans are extremely
similar). I’m
glad I did because the 2427 has the info on the
attic floor that’s missing from 2415 and the
2415 when talking about how many nails to use with
the gussets says “Use at least” and stops
there. The
2427 says “Use at least 6 nails on each side of
each gusset 12 total”.
So… I would change the 2415 to include
the missing attic floor page and include the extra
wording missing with the gussets and how many
nails to use.
Thanks

PLAN
# 1111
|

Perhaps this section of
our photo gallery best illustrates the
dramatic difference between before and
after. |
|
This successful shed
building project is clearly shown in the
after picture.
Not only is it apparent
that the choice of shed plan is good but when
looking closely it shows it's location is
well chosen and marked out with the tall
white stakes. This shed was built on
concrete piers like many of our shed plans
can be. It deals best with a sloping backyard and it allows for some storage space underneath
The patio stone sidewalk was also laid out
and installed before the shed was built to
ensure the angle of the sidewalk and the
shed aligned so as to capture the right
effect.
The during picture can
be enlarged. It shows the framing is
almost complete but still needs wall sheeting installed over the 3-piece built up
beam and the double floor joist. As
mentioned in our free Construction Guide,
this gives the sheeting the continuity that makes
the siding look better.
The picture also shows that it is not only men
who build sheds. More
than one quarter of our shed plans are
actually bought by women. And if it is true that building a shed is a fun
thing to do, then maybe she is having more
fun than he, who seems to be well shall
we say, resting.

HOW
OLD IS IT ? |
|
The
old shed on the left belongs to Ron
and Suzanne Ritchie who graciously
allowed us to share it with you on our web site. |
|
It is
thought to be between 105 and 150 years
old. The exact year in which it was built
is very difficult to determine but careful
review shows old square nails used in the
side boards. It is thought that these nails
were no longer used after 1898. The area
in which it was built had its land cleared
in the mid to late 1850s. |
|
We
know for sure that it was not built from
one of our shed plans. |
|
But
somehow we still admire it. |
