INTRODUCTION

Here we freely provide, for the do-it-yourself shed builder, additional helpful construction tips on
building sheds that are designed by Just Sheds Inc. This guide can be used for all of our plans. It is
divided into sections and sub sections for easy reference.
When considering such a fun, money saving project please read it through entirely and then you will
discover what we can help you build. Just imagine how rewarding that will be.
The printable version of our Construction Guide in PDF format is free to everyone to print. It requires
Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is also available free on the home page of our web site.

Our guide will also be of interest to anyone else who is interested in such a building project although it
is not written, illustrated nor intended for use with shed plans designed by others.

More information, illustrations and italicized words can be found in our Glossary.
