108 Free DIY Shed Plans & Ideas that You Can Actually Build in Your Backyard (2024)

26. The Tudor-Style Shed

This is another shed with character. To say it is adorable is probably an understatement.

However, I’m not sure I would recommend this build to a beginner. Because of the style, it has a few angle cuts due to the sloping sides.

This makes for a really neat look but a little bit more of a difficult build for the amateur DIY builder.

27. The Board-And-Batten Shed

This shed is a functional shed. It is large enough in size that you could store more than a few garden tools.

I love garden tool sheds, but I always have to have another shed that can hold my other outdoor ‘stuff’ too. So if you are needing a shed a little larger to hold your medium sized items, this might be a good option for you.

28. The Narrow Shed

This is a very compact shed. It measures 7ft wide and only 4ft deep.

However, if you are someone with a smaller backyard space or maybe you just don’t need a larger shed this could be a great fit for your needs.

Though it is compact, the plans are laid out for you and claim that with the right organizational system you can fit a lot into this smaller space.

29. The Traditional Tool Shed

When I think of the term ‘tool shed’ this is what I think of. It is a smaller shed, yet still big enough to walk into.

It has just the right amount of room for the tools you need for a small vegetable or flower garden. This shed would also be small enough that you could build it right next to your garden and it would never be in the way.

30. The Wood Shed

This shed is literally a firewoodshed. It isn’t where you would want to store items that need to be extremely protected from the elements.

However, if you literally needed to store wood or a few other items that could withstand the wind or rain in small amounts this would be a great option for you.

31. The Firewood Shed

Need a place to store your firewood? This is it.

It appears to be a very simple build. This wood shed has a great covered roof to protect your wood from getting wet.

What I love the most are the sides that help to keep your wood piles straight. That is always the scariest part of a wood pile, the threat of it falling over on you. It doesn’t seem to be much of a worry with this woodshed.

32. The Mini Garden Shed #2

If you don’t have the room for a full sized shed, no worries. If you are looking for a shed that will still add a touch of style to your yard while also on a miniature level, no worries.

Why? Because this shed has both. It is a great little build that can provide all of the storage you need for small hand tools. All the while, adding a little finesse to your backyard.

33. The Garden Closet

I love the name of this shed. Who wouldn’t love to have a closet in their backyard? It creates a nice little space for garden clothing and tools, all while not taking up a ton of space.

Another added bonus to this garden closet is it is not very expensive to build either. It could be a great little addition to any type of home and serve as a great space to keep your garden tools organized.

34. The Neighborhood Shed

This shed reminds me of something you’d see in the quaint subdivisions on late 80’s early 90’s movies like Father of the Bride. It just fits into that setting.

So to say that this shed is going to be functional and add a touch of eye candy would be dead on. This shed has ample room to store almost any of your outdoor supplies. And it can add a little charm to your home too.

35. The Budget Friendly Shed

This is another cute shed. What makes it even better is that it was created with the idea of going easy on your wallet. Does it get much better than that?

Actually, it does. They not only tell you how to save money building this shed but also provide easy to read plans too. A shed that has lots of character, is inexpensive and has plans provided to make the build easier is an option worth considering.
