Video Series: How to Build a Tool Shed

This Fine Homebuilding video series follows Rick Arnold as he constructs a charming and sturdy backyard tool shed. Each episode walks you through an entire phase of shed construction. Follow along as Rick and his helper build a solid foundation; frame the floors, walls, and roof; install doors, windows, trim, and siding; add shelves and other accessories; and finally finish off the job with some landscaping.
In addition to the video, you’ll also find complete 3D plans with Rick’s notes on construction plus a design gallery of great ideas for detailing a shed. If you’re looking for even more shed construction ideas, take a look at Rick Arnold’s article, “Shortcuts to a Shed.”
