Most counties in the United States will allow the addition of a small building on most residential
properties up to 120 SF (10X12FT) without obtaining a building permit. And guess what! Some US counties are even increasing the square footage to allow placement on residential property for all these mini-cabins being built nowadays. That is a very welcome trend. Prefab wood sheds offer the convenience of fast installation and perhaps a guarantee on materials and workmanship by the builder. It is important to do your research before purchasing a shed and try to get some idea of the dependability of the builder. Remember most of the time the price of the shed will not include delivery charges, always ask about that aspect. The cost of these prefab sheds can be a shocker - at least to me anyway. Just visit the Home Depot to check prices. But, when properly built these small useful buildings can add to the overall value of your property.

HOW TO BUILD A SHED FROM A KIT Here's kind of a neat little article you all might like. It gives some practical information on the assembly of a prefab shed plus a little info about them in general. This link goes to the Popular Mechanics website.
“For years, there have been three ways to get a shed: Build it yourself, hire someone to build it or buy a prefab model. A new method—constructing a shed from a kit—combines the sweat equity of building from scratch with the simplicity of using factory-cut components. All that's required are basic tools and novice-level carpentry skills. It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle with instructions: Fasten the parts together in the right sequence, and voilà—a shed is born. I teamed up with Connecticut carpenter Tim Law to build this shed from Better Barns & Sheds. The compact 6 x 8-foot building has red-cedar vertical siding, two barn-sash windows and a transom window above double doors. This kit costs about $4800, not including shipping. The small kit joins the company's eight stock kits ranging in size from 10 x 10 to 10 x 16 feet, and in price from about $4300 to $8300. They are all available with either pine or cedar siding . . .”

BEACH HUTS Most visitors to this website know that wooden storage sheds are mostly used to store lawn care items or tools, personal junk, paint and automotive service items, etc. But, there is a historical use of wood sheds for this very unique purpose in several countries such as Great Britain, Australia, and Thailand to name a few and that is to use wood sheds as swim suit change rooms, a place used to get out of the wind and dry off after swimming in the ocean. I have not ever seen one of these units, I do not know if they were ever used in the US or not. People use these sheds for light cooking of food like for picnicking at the beach. The thing is these buildings are really "sheds" not mini cabins for overnight use or long term living. Anyway, that is my impression of them. A simple shelter used to give a person(s) someplace to rest and warm up at the beach.
“I guess I should introduce myself: Hagen Rose, as founder of the Beach-Huts.Com community . . . I am a businessman, I.T. consultant and freelance web designer with a passion for the sea and seaside . . . In the summer I spend "too much" of my time on the beach and on the coast, where I sunbath, go walking, build sand castles, go fishing, swimming, reading, diving, cycling, BBQing, pondering life, talking to friends, drinking wine, etc. . . etc. . . I am sure you are familiar with the general idea! I have run this very successful site for 5 years now. In recent years we have had even more interest in beach huts and beach life, with regular mentions and interviews from entities including: GMTV, Wave 105, Hope FM, Radio2, BBC Radio Suffolk, Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Guardian, The Observer, Country Life, John Lewis, Zest and Coast Magazine, just to mention a few!! . . . It's free and we intend to keep it free for beach huts owners to advertise to rent or sell! How come free? We believe our biggest asset is people that advertise their beach huts with us, that's what makes our site! We do however have sponsors who generously contribute to the running costs. If you are interested in sponsoring us then please give us a call on 01202-315-437 NB part of sponsorship with us is our massively popular monthly email news letter which reaches thousands of devoted beach hut fans each month . . .”

BUILDING A CARRIAGE HOUSE/SMALL BARN/SHED This video documents the building of a very beautiful shed - the builders really paid attention to detail. This wood shed frame was built on a very thick concrete foundation. Actually, in my opinion it was built almost to housing standards. The owner Chet built this shed using plans obtained from: "Better Barns Hardware & Plans, LLC".
“I built a Carriage House with the help of my wife Cindy, my two daughters Chelsea & Caitlin, and with special help from my niece Elana and my nephew Matt. There are two songs on the video - both are done by Van Morrison. The first is Wild Nights and the second is Domino. We built it over the course of one week and spent about $1700 for it. I paid 700 for the concrete slab and about 1000 for everything else (I bought pre-fab windows). The high roof pitch was primarily designed for the storage but the aesthetic of the shed was never meant to match the house. Rather, the shed, and the pergola, and the deck are all complimentary forms in an overall landscape design. I would draw your attention to rolling landscape designs like Central Park in New York or Greenfield Village in Dearborn where an eclectic collection of forms results in a pleasing design. It was very intentional. There are cripples on either side of the windows. This provides more than enough support for these small windows even though the studs are on 24" centers (and not 16). The double 2x4's on the back wall of the shop are there because they hold almost 2 tons of hardwood lumber. I'm not sure the video shows it very well but, I use the back 2 feet of the shop for lumber storage. Double 2x4's were an easy way to create a really strong lumber rack for very little investment. The rafter/truss are 2x4 on the slope and 2x6 on the run. Structurally they could have been 2x4 all around but I wanted to use the ceiling from more storage so I went with 2x6.”
DON FRICK SHEDS This business has about 9 different models of wood sheds. Very good pictures of their products. Picture on the right is of their "Quaker" model wood shed. They also sell other items, like wood picnic tables & dog houses. They sell what they call log cabins, but they look to me like buildings with log siding, not the real round logs.
“We have the largest selection of sheds in the Northeast and the Poconos! We also carry a huge selection of gazebos, pavillions, barns and log cabins. Our sheds are ready to go. We have the style, size, materials and color you need. We have many sheds and other items in stock, ready for delivery! Visit our Hamlin, Pennsylvania location.

HOW TO BUILD A BACKYARD STORAGE SHED I have not yet watched the entire video, but based on the "Intro" it looks like it might be pretty good, almost as good as watching a Disney movie, but a lot more informative with something you can use. You can buy a 7 day pass (view for 7 days) for $3.99. It appears to me to be a well made video with a good clear picture and a man speaks with a good clear voice and not too fast. This video was produced by a business called "Fine Home Building" and they have other videos on different subjects, like "SketchUp Tutorials" & Building Skills.
BETTERSHEDS.COM This is quite a website in my opinion, very professionally done. I don't think they build any of the sheds they sell, they are a distributor representing several different companies making sheds. Picture on the right is of their "Wood Cottage" which comes in 15 Sizes from 8'X12' to 12'X24', which in my opinion could be finished on the interior to make a livable cabin.
“When you are in need of extra space, somewhere where your property can be protected from the elements, then choosing a classic shed can be the safest way to go. A wood shed provides a classic look that can compliment any home or garden. If you are in need of a place to store your car to prevent weather damage, such as hail, then a classic wood garage can provide you with what you need. Those who farm or take care of larger plots of land will find a classic wooden barn design exactly what they need to suit their storage requirements. Which ever you may need, the storage solutions that are in the wooden shed line will not disappoint you!”
SHEDS FOR LESS DIRECT Wow! Mail order sheds. This business seems to sell a full line of sheds. Picture on the right is of their Ezup Shed called the "Fairview", a 12x16 shed that might be able to double as a small cabin. They also have some shed assembly videos on one of their pages.

DAN MCGRATH - MY DIY SHED This link brings you to a one page website with plenty of construction pictures of this one man's shed building project. Click on the pictures for a larger view, the underlined links which say "Click Here For a Larger Image" do not work. This project here is a demonstration of heavy duty shed building by a certified Do-It-Yourselfer.
“Why build your own shed? Well, I just don't like the ones you see for sale in shops, they are flimsy and expensive, my DIY shed is neither of these things. Additionally it is exactly the size I want, and built to my spec
. . .and I think it looks nice - if you like the cube look! I wanted a shed for my garden, I also wanted a hot-tub and/or a ride on lawnmower. Both of these are big, so I'll be needing a shed with wide doors. I also wanted a square shed, most sheds in the DIY shops are rectangular. I also wanted a shed with a reasonably high door, so I don't have to duck to get in - a reasonably high door also means a reasonably high ceiling. I wanted a pavilion type roof because they look cool, and because flat roofs are generally boring and are a leak just waiting to happen. Don't you just hate sheds that wobble or worse move in the wind? Mine doesn't wobble! It doesn't wobble because the shed has four 4" corner posts that are integral to the shed, but are also sunk 2 feet into the ground at all 4 corners. This makes for a very secure and stable shed. It is this idea that really sets my shed design apart from other people's. The first step of building a shed is to choose the location, I used a few lengths of wood to mark it out full size and also to get an idea of level. Once I had decided where the shed was going I spent a few minutes viewing the location from various parts of the house and garden to make sure I was happy with it . . .”

“Hello! Thanks for your interest in Safe Shed. It is my sincere desire and mission that every one of you, our clients, have a satisfactory experience with our company, no matter what product you choose to purchase. I would like to take this opportunity to explain the origin of our company and hopefully give you many reasons for allowing us to serve all of your storage and storm shelter needs. My vision for Safe Shed was born out of a love to build things, coupled with my own bad experience in storage solutions. My frustration from this experience caused the wheels of my brain to start rolling. I turned to the smartest man I know, My Dad for help. With his help, in a few short months, Safe Shed Manufacturing was open for business, and we were selling quality storage buildings statewide. We also provide you with a no-credit-check, rent-to-own option on most of our products, so that you may make monthly payments, should you need that flexibility. We provide customization sessions where YOU can decide how YOU want your building made, including your choice of options for custom paint, shingle colors and interior options like shelving, etc. We are a family-oriented business and take pride in assisting you in any way we can to help make your family safer and happier. We hope you will consider us as you search the market for the perfect storage or shelter solution for you. If nothing else, we invite you stop by and say hello and take a tour through some of our demo buildings.”

"The continuing disappearance of old-growth forest habitat accelerates the global decline of wildlife and biological diversity and is a factor in climate change. Restoration forestry reverses this decline by recreating old-growth habitat while contributing economically to the human society around it. OGA was founded to restore and manage forest land within a growing restorative business model (ecology and economy). OGA's restoration manual outlines all aspects of forest management. OGA creates value-added forest products of the highest quality to fund its restoration practices. By limiting the amount of wood harvested and adhering to many other restoration standards, the forest yields wood for human use while adding volume decade by decade as it recreates mature and old-growth trees again."
rDOME PENTAGON I will leave this link up for awhile - it seems they are no longer in business (8-14-10).
This is some kind of prefabricated plastic roof system which i guess greatly simplifies the building of an outdoor shed. I wrote to this company and they sent me the following email message:
"In full production with two new models. BIG uDome that is 200 SF and 12 ft high and our 200 SF TranShel that is also 200 SF and will be introduced at the Geneva Shelter Center convention the first week of May 2009."
"Whether you need a shed, dome, yurt, gazebo, or greenhouse our geodesic dome roof will cover it! After purchasing standard length 2x4's, the only tool you will need to assemble the roof and build the framing is a hammer. It's that simple and inexpensive, the rDome (roof dome) costing $295 and the five square 8'x8' wall frames, approximately $150. Each dome roof weighs less than 60 pounds and is made of durable plastic corrugated fire retardant panels. Corrugated panels for all 5 sides is available and costs only $150. The roof and siding will last up to ten years or more when painted with a gallon of exterior latex acrylic paint. The dome roof weighs less then 60 pounds and is shipped Federal Express."

GARDEN BUILDINGS DIRECT
This website located in the UK has many pages one of which gives some good information on site preparation or building the base for a garden building or your new wood shed.
“Building a shed may seem like a daunting task to a DIY novice. Provide a level, sound, sturdy base and the rest should be simple. Building the base for a garden building is an easy task for a single person to complete. However we recommend an extra person is on site during the construction of the shed to help with lifting and placing roof and wall panels. Planning permission is normally not required for a prefabricated garden building, however, if you live in a conservation area or the building could intrude on a neighbor's garden, you may wish to check with or local council prior to construction.”

THE TWINS SHED PROJECT Wowzers! The man doing this shed building project certainly went all out. Using mostly extra material he had on hand he designed and built this very sturdy twin shed set-up. Lots of ideas here for your own shed building project, just pause the video to view current step.
“. . . I started dreaming up this project in the summer of '09. I had quite a bit of lumber in my garage that I was saving for a future project and decided this was it. I wanted to build a carport, but I needed more storage space so I started sketching up ideas and based on the material I had been saving, in come cases up to 5 years - this is what I came up with. It had to be heavy duty, withstand high winds and earthquakes and it had to look good: Look good for me and my neighbors. I wanted the sheds to be low maintenance and the used aluminum roofing I used as the siding really made that happen. I bought 65 sheets of 28" x 10' for two dollars each back in 2006. I stored it for a long time and finally got tired of all the extra space being taken up so not only did these sheds free up space, but I have created tons of storage space in addition to an outdoor home office/man cave space to relax in and get away. I broke ground on November 1st, 2009 and put up the first shed on Dec 2nd 2009. I had to work in between the rain storms so the roof had to be sealed. The second shed went up on January 10th. The carport didn't go up until June of 2010. It was a lot of work, but once I figured out what I was going to do in the building process I simply repeated the process so the second shed was basically a no brainer. I hope you like the video too, it took me 20 hours to put it together.”

This is a paperback book which contains 99 pages, but has a lot of accurate information concerning the source of electrical fires. The book is written in layman's language and is easily understood by most everyone. This subject matter is appropriate for most any man made structure which includes conventional wood homes, shipping container homes, sheds and other out-buildings with conventional electrical systems (electrical wire & circuit breaker panels) installed within their framing members.
“This is a book written by Rudy A. Medina former fire chief of Imperial county of California for use by those working in the fire investigation field, attorneys, fire service, firefighters, electricians, electrical contractors, insurance adjusters, criminal fire investigators, & fire prevention personnel.

TUFF SHED Outlets located around Southern California and also sold now by the Home Depot. Model shown here on the right side is the 8' x 12' Premier Standard Ranch Shed.
"TUFF SHED constructs its buildings more like a house than a typical storage building. All of TUFF SHED's products begin with an engineering process that includes new product development, product testing, creation of certified drawings, and development of standard manufacturing and installation techniques. Another big reason behind the quality of our sheds, garages and custom buildings is who builds them. All TUFF SHED buildings start with prefabrication at our local factories by full-time TUFF SHED pre-fabbers. These high-quality building components are then assembled in the field by well-trained installers. This process has produced structures of superior design and construction, and some features that just can't be duplicated by other companies, such as TUFF SHED's patented, keyed-locking handle, patent pending door system, our exclusive galvanized steel flooring system, and even our own version of hinges and fasteners. The attention to engineering detail ensures that no element of the building process goes unquestioned, and that our buildings are admired by our customers and imitated by our competitors."
