$20 for the plan, ~$5000 to build it

You want a modern shed, but you can’t afford one. Well, it turns out you can afford it if you build it yourself. Even if you have never built anything before, you can do this. This plan is for novices. We will walk you through how to do it. The plan also gives you ways to save even more if you want to, and who doesn’t want to do that?

Modern Northwest Shed

Reasonable Price

Modern shed kits are awesome…but their price isn’t.  Instead of paying $15,000 for a shed, how about $5,000?  It just requires your time and effort.

Detailed Instructions

Novice builders?  Us too.  That’s why we included lots of diagrams, video links and instructions on how to use tools you aren’t familiar with.

Tools & Materials List

Where to get all the stuff?  What is that thing called?  The plan includes an excel sheet with all the tools and materials sourced and priced.    

Tons of References

The internet is a wonderful resource…but only if you know where to look.  Huge list of links to references, videos and tutorials included.

About & Contact

We’re a couple married for 17+ years, living in Seattle, WA. Two kids and one shed later, we’re still going strong. We built the shed together, it took us about 2.5 months over the summer in 2016, working on evenings and weekends. We never once argued. Not. Once. Not too shabby for a couple of novices! We have never built anything before –we learned to do this on the fly and with the help of the internet and friends. In real life, one of us is a User Researcher and the other a Dutch Translator.
