Do-It-Yourself Project Planner: Sheds

shed plan softwareBig Hammer software has developed a package of 16 complete shed plans in Do-it-Yourself Project Planner: Sheds ($29.95).

The package features basic storage buildings as well as elaborate designs great for potting sheds, sleeping cabins and artist studios.

For each plan you can display and print a complete materials list, and add or remove items from the list as required.

For example, if want to build the project without exterior trim and accessories such as windows, window boxes, and benches, you can remove all related materials from the list.

The plans themselves are PDF documents so you need the free Acrobat Reader to view them. Included are the overall plan view, the pier layout plan, framing plan, elevation plans, and accessories plans, such as benches or window boxes.
