* Space. It is important to know the area where the shed will be located before you start making storage building plans. It is important to determine where the shed will be placed in the garden. It should not be near any main roads to prevent future obstructions.
* Layout. Draw a plan of how you want your garden sheds to look on a piece paper. You don’t need to be an engineer or architect to do this. A basic layout of your garden shed, such as what it looks like, will suffice. This will serve as a guide for the carpenter/designer in building the shed.
