Question by : WHAT IS CHEAPER TO BUILD WHEN BUILDING A COVERED PATIO. METAL OR WOOD?
PLAN TO BUILD A 25X40 COVERED PATIO, WOULD METAL OR WOOD BE CHEAPER ?

Best answer:

Answer by Ashley Judd
Wood is cheaper because there are a lot of options as far as what wood you would like to go with, also metal is on the rise as far as cost goes, I would stick with the wood for the cheaper cost, but be sure to go with pressuretreated or you will have LOTS of unwanted problems;)

Q&A: Need supply list to build a 12′ x 24′ shed type building?

Question by none123: Need supply list to build a 12′ x 24′ shed type building?
what supplies would I need to build a 12′ x 24′ building with a regular house type roof on it (A shaped roof, not sure what you call that). Would need a floor in it, just particlar board or whatever and the siding they usually put on sheds, I want to say it’s called tr-19 or something like that. It’s pine and comes in 4′x8′ panels. Also would need 4 windows, just average size and one steel or wood normal sized entry door. Shingled roof. Can someone give me a supply list and the estimated cost of the MATERIALS (not labor) that I would need? Also what type of foundation would it need? Just blocks or something like that? what would be cheapest? Thanks!

Plans vs Kits – Any disadvantage to using Storage Shed Kits while building Outdoors?

Question by mann: Plans vs Kits – Any disadvantage to using Storage Shed Kits while building Outdoors?

Best answer:

Answer by Nex-Ten
The biggest disadvantage is lack of durability. While kits are easy to assemble and save time, they can’t be customized to your specific style or storage needs.

They are also prone to leaks in bad weather, which can damage the contents of your shed.

In contrast, when you use custom plans & weather-resistant materials, you can be sure that the shed you build will last longer & better.

Wood Storage Shed Plans – How to Prepare For Building a Wood Storage Shed

If you’re planning to build your own wood storage shed, there are a few important things you need to know. It can be a great idea to build your own storage shed but if you don’t do it properly, you can make more work and more expense for yourself.

Choosing to build your own wood storage shed can be an excellent decision. You can save money, personalize your shed to meet your needs and make a fun do-it-yourself project out of it. However, you need to prepare properly so that your shed project doesn’t turn into a disaster. You can do that when you follow these basic tips.

First, make sure your plans are complete. Do they contain drawings only or blueprints and details on how to complete the build project? There are some wood storage shed plans out there which consist of just some drawings with dimensions written in. This isn’t going to be helpful at all if you have never built a storage shed before.

You need to be able to understand what the drawing is telling you to do, which is why blueprints and written instructions are necessary.

On that same note, a written plan with no images or drawings at all is going to be difficult to read and use. It’s essential you have some types of drawings to show you where things go and how.

Good wood shed plans will also include lists of materials to help you get started. You shouldn’t have to play guessing games with which types of materials you have or how to use them. You will need to know small details that affect your build in a big way such as what material the roof is made of or how to create the doors and handles or locks.

When you have a list of materials, you can go to your local hardware store armed with what you need to purchase.

It’s also important that you know about any special tools that will be needed to complete your building. While you may have a nice toolbox or tool shed of supplies, it helps to know what you will need ahead of time. This will be especially important if you don’t have all the tools that are needed. When you know ahead of time, you might be able to save time and money by borrowing from a friend or family member.

Good wood storage shed plans will contain everything you need for a successful build and will help you complete your tasks on time every time. You can build and enjoy your storage shed for many years to come.

Q&A: Is it safe to store my lawnmower gasoline in a closed container in a storage building, (Tennessee summer).?

Question by Zeke: Is it safe to store my lawnmower gasoline in a closed container in a storage building, (Tennessee summer).?
I live in Tennessee and just put up a 10 X 12 (VENTED), Wood Storage building. I am considering storing my 2 gallon plastic can of lawnmower gas along with the mower. Considering Summer heat in Tennessee, is this safe or is it a Fire Hazard?

Best answer:

Answer by cdf-rom
I wouldn’t store it for any length of time in a plastic container. The heat could cause the vapors to expand and split it along the seams (that almost happened to me), releasing flammable fumes into the area, where a spark could ignite them. Use a metal can.
