Become a citizen of Shed Nation! With hardworking advice from Popular Mechanics on designing, building, and customizing a shed for any yard, this is the ultimate inspirational handbook for every homeowner. There are innovative plans for building several sheds, each with a different practical use, as well as contributions from Popular Mechanics readers who share their own designs. The sheds include:- Small Is Beautiful: A 6’ x 8’ shed with solid framing, plywood sheathing, and cedar siding. It’s big enough to hold a variety of tools, but won’t dominate the backyard. - The Groundskeeper: This 9’ x 13’ shed with a spacious layout and a crisp, no-frills design is ideal for the beginning DIYer. - The Big Red Shed: This handsome shed is a multi-purposer’s dream; a 10’ x 12’ tool shed combined with an 8’ x 10’ open bay that’s great for firewood or tractors. - Classic Colonial: A stylish, multipurpose garden shed with decorative trim and architectural accents. Includes a 12’ x 12’ general storage space, 4’ x 12’ potting area, and a small loft for seasonal storage.- The Greenhouse: Complete instructions on purchasing a kit greenhouse in a variety of sizes (7’ x 9’, 8’ x 16’, or larger) allows for a big-league growing season. For additional motivation, beautiful photographs present a wide variety of sheds, from tree houses to eco-friendly buildings Library Journal This compact book is peppered with great photographs of a variety of sheds, including tree houses and green buildings, but Eckstein (curriculum director, Yestermorrow Design/Build Sch.) offers only four building projects. In an authoritative and confident tone, he covers the basics of construction; however, a beginner would need more step-by-step instruction. This inspirational guide is best for the experienced builder.
