I really like this one http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Shed I recommend that you go with a "shed style roof" which is basically a flat roof on an angle. Eliminating the extra work for a gable end or barn style shed will make the job easier and cheaper. Most areas allow one 120 square foot structure to be exempt from code and setback regulations, but check before you build, especially if you have an HOA in your neighborhood. Good Luck!

more information. when you say "shed" do you mean "a place for a few tools and a bag of fertilizer" or do you mean "multi car shed". what do you want to build it out of? what sort of ground will it be on. building a shed is easy. -frame, cover materials(iron sheeting) and some way to anchor it to the ground .
