10×18 Raised Center Aisle Shed Side Storage Plans

by Ovidiu

 

This step by step diy project is about 10×18 raised center aisle shed side storage plans. This is PART 4 of the shed project, where I show you how to build the side storage units (the 4×10 run in sheds). Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration. Remember that the materials list is for one storage unit.

When buying the lumber, you should select the planks with great care, making sure they are straight and without any visible flaws (cracks, knots, twists, decay). Investing in cedar or other weather resistant lumber is a good idea, as it will pay off on the long run. Use a spirit level to plumb and align the components, before inserting the galvanized screws, otherwise the project won’t have a symmetrical look. If you have all the materials and tools required for the project, you could get the job done in about a day. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

Last but not least, you need to take care of the finishing touches. Therefore, fill the holes with wood putty and then smooth the surface with 120-220 grit sandpaper. Apply a few coats of paint or stain so you enhance the look of the shed and you protect the components from decay. Don’t forget to take a look over PART 1, PART 2 to learn how to build the frame and the roof for the shed, as well as PART 3 to see how to frame the front door.
