    Tom’s Storage Shed With Cedar Shingles and Recycled Materials

    Small wooden shed with a sloped roof and attached covered area, surrounded by trees and resting on a forest floor. - on Country Life Projects

    I needed a workshop/storage shed to accompany my off-grid cabin on a forested hillside lot. Built over the course of two summers. Modified the plans to 8×12 and added the lean-to last fall. Recycled door and windows from previous projects, and opted for a metal roof. Because of uneven terrain, shed sits on concrete piers (dug and mixed by hand, with water lugged up from the brook). Smartside panels on the lean-to side only. Remaining sides cedar shingles to match the cabin.

    Testimonial:
    This was the biggest DIY project of my life to date, but viewed all videos several times over and religiously referenced the plans in a 3-ring binder, which saved me hours of lost "second guessing" time. Henry's tips and instructions are great - would not have been able to do this without CLP

        Tom, that is quiet the change up from our plans – looks great and love the use of recycled door and window. Nice to have extra space to keep snow and rain off of things!
