DIY storage shed with mower ramp and steps

Submitted by lookitsash on Thu, 07/28/2016 - 15:29

I used ideas on your site for inspiration for my current back yard shed.  I did a lot of research before choosing one.  If you've never built a shed before from scratch, it can be a little daunting, especially if its a larger shed.  I also documented my whole process from the laying the foundation to putting the last nail on the shingles.  Here's the link for you to my blog post:

It was a lot of fun for me, and a huge wow factor to impress my friends ;)  I store everything in there from my riding mower to all my patio furniture in the wintertime.  It's such a useful thing to have.

I spent around $1500 and it took about 2 months to complete (working on it while having a full time job - otherwise would have finished a lot faster)

Estimated Cost
$1500
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Used T-11 siding with several coats of exterior primer and paint
Recommended Skill Level
Intermediate

Thanks!   I looked at a bunch of different door trims online and found this pattern that I liked.  The mitre saw made quick work out of it, and it only took about 10 minutes to cut and install.
