99 - How to build a Shed DIY Back Yard Storage part 1 Foundation and Floor

After you have finished placing all the wood truss, you can now place your roof decking for the trusses to be tied together to provide support for the roof load. Depending on your choice as roof material, you can now finish your roof placing your chosen material as per manufacturer s instructions. Safety is always the key, as you would be working on the roof, there is a chance that you may fall off. And to many of us who don t have the experience yet, it s easy to succumb to the pitfalls that have plagued many beginner DIY guys. This mistake has led to many half finished projects and frustrations. Like in any project, building a shed, even a small one, would require preparation, and the single most important aspect of preparation that is to have a plan, and the biggest mistake one can do is to not have one. You can even make it look like a small log cabin. But before you rush out to get some lumber, or any other building materials you wish to use, stop first and think. Your building project will be so much easier if you have a detailed plan of your build a farm shed project. Designing your won farm shed would be easy enough if you know what you need it for. Only three walls are provided and the fourth side left open. This is necessary as this allows airflow which in turn allows the firewood to dry properly. But because of this open side, it would also be easy for rain and snow to be blown inside by the wind. To avoid this or to minimize moisture, it is best that the open side should not face the direction of the wind. So no matter how much you want to clean up and get your own storage shed, if you don t have the money, there s not much you can do. But, if you have the skills and the determination, having your own shed in your backyard doesn t have to remain a dream, how? By recycling old wooden pallets. Some would immediately think that pallets, being the way they are, would just be an eyesore, but not if you have a good set of plans. Don t feel ashamed, there are tons of people who have been known as hoarders, keeping things they don t really need. But, aside from selling the things that you can part with, you can just build a storage shed for those mementos or tools you can t really part with. Primarily, if you don t have the carpentry skills, even the basic ones, you can still build your own storage shed and save a lot of money.
