One of the easiest projects to you on your own is an outside storage shed.

This will allow you to free up space in the garage and have a place to store items. You can use the shed as a garden shed to hold all of your yard maintenance tools or it can be an extra storage space to hold all those extras that you do not have room for in the house.

• There are many options you can go with for outside storage so what you will be storing will help you choose the type of storage to build. For instance do you want it to have climate control or will you need a concrete floor?

Once you know what type of storage until you need to make you can then go get the supplies. One of the first things you will need to check on is if you will need a building permit for your particular zoning area. You can check with the city on this and apply for any permits that may be required.

• IF you do not want to go with building from scratch, then you can look into kits at local hardware stores that allow you to put up your own storage shed in as little as a day and all you need to supply is the lumber.

If you want to do more of it on your own then you will want to purchase or make a print of what you want to build. Think of this as a map to help you stay focused and on track. Be aware that some people buy and own outdoor structures that double as a storage unit, similar to a garden greenhouse. You will want to scout your yard for the best spot to put up your new storage shed and once you choose your spot you will need to level the ground and clear it of debris and roots so that your shed will be level and solid. It is very important to get all of the tree roots out of the ground where you will have the shed as they can grow, years down the road and uplift the shed or break through the flooring.

There are plenty of places to get ideas about DIY storage sheds such as local shops, online sites, the library and even local contractors.

Be sure to have all of the materials and building permits that may be required prior to starting construction of the shed.

In just a short time you will be able to enjoy a more spacious living area as you clear the clutter to your newly build storage shed.
