What is the most efficient shed plan?

I do not want to waste any lumber. I think a 8' x 12' is a good start. I would really like a materials list and plans if possible.
Tip for best answer: M$5.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you want to get some quality plans and discuss the best way to go about things without wasting lumber you should stop by your local Home Depot or Lowes... both of these places offer professional help on projects such as this and chances are good they can give you some hands on time with things that will help you prepare.

Spoon, not to tip block you, but every time I've gone to one of the Home Depot or Lowes _books_, they always have twice the lumber and materials of the other books I find in the library. Just a thought. (The people, as you say, are often great.)

I didn't click "no", I swear spoon. (Clicking "yes" now to prove it.)

Just wondering if I coined a phrase with "tip block"? Jason C, can I have a ruling on the field? Am I the first to use "tip block"?

I kinda liked this one one the second page of Google links from Popular Mechanics. Partially because it's "simple" with lots of detailed instructions, and partially because of its "Unibomber in the woods" example shed.
http://www.popularmechanics.com/home_journal/home_improvement/1275876.html

And, although I couldn't find any plans, I really liked this guy's advice on planning.
http://www.askthebuilder.com/724_Shed_Plans.shtml

Finally, this guy's "free" plans are really nicely done in a single PDF. The construction seems solid, but the design is K.I.S.S. (You gotta click on the shed to get the PDF to download... Obviously, he'd prefer you buy the other plans.)
http://just-sheds.com/Free_shed_plans.htm

I'd think that combining those 3 links would give you a great start.
source(s):
http://www.google.com/search?q=simple+shed+plans gives you an abundance of plans.

The answers above seem sufficient to answer your question, but just a word of advice. I wouldn't go any larger than 8x12 because many municipalities require you to get a permit for sheds larger than 100 square feet. Not that it is the biggest deal, but just something to keep in the back of your mind when you browse these plans.

Too funny! The current plan I am going to use is this one. However, I thought I might be able to do better.

There is a plan and cost estimate for this size shed at the Popular Mechanics website. The second link mentioned in the source has a several page, step-by-step guide including all materials you will need. It shows photographs for each step.

Shed plan is a customised temporary shelter organised for a specific purpose of project. Take the geographical advantages while sourcing material for constructing it.
