Our garden shed started with a sketch by my wife . That was all the plans I needed to construct the 8′ x 12′ shed . Most of the material used is salvaged. Some of the features are top hinged windows for ventilation, potting bench , gable end loft for storage . oversized rear door for equiptment entry, seasonal water hydrant, lots of spikes in the walls for tool storage, a place for a nice set of antlers to hang that were harvested from our woods , and a retreat for the neighborhood mice in winter .
