Daniel, in Nashville, built this mirror twin of my shed. I love the clean lines and the stairs leading up to the walk in door.
Paul, in Tucson created this shed to use as a woodworking shop; He added insulation and electricity and stucco siding. I love the sleek modern windows along the extended front wall.
![Check out this gorgeous build by Sam, in Quebec. He writes "There isn't pre-made cement boards available in Quebec, Canada so we used Hardiebacker that we cut and painted ourselves. As for the wood, it's cedar planks that I've burnt with a roof torch, brushed and then applied a natural tung oil for maximum protection." He also writes "...[the] neighbors are jealous. :)" Rightly so! This is an amazing build. I love the finishing on the underside of the soffit (don't forget to vent!) and the burned/ oiled finish on the vertical siding boards.](https://diyatlantamodern.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/sams-shed.jpg?w=175&resize=175%2C131&h=131#038;h=131 "Quebec shed build")

Eric’s shed is almost complete!

Shed in progress by Eric in Austin, Texas: “Moving and Groovin’!”
I love the blue stripe along the roofline which ties in nicely to the quilt pattern that Kurt’s wife made. Nice ramp, too!
Kurt decided to forgo the Hardie boards in favor of these beautiful cedar boards.
Interior of shed by Ron and George. The shed is now being used as a music studio by George and his young assistant with the classic Ramones’ T!
Shed by Ron and George, Hollywood, CA – under construction
Shed by Ron and George, Hollywood, CA: “Your plan was so helpful in getting us to think about the right things and do them in the right order. This is 10’ x 8’ with Home Depot lumber. The facade is completely reclaimed. We found the pebbled window in a salvage yard for $30 and the tu-tone luan and door came from a gut job in Hollywood next door to my son’s actor friend. We found a pile of bright blue painted plywood that someone had used as a blue screen studio in the garage, but on the flip side was pristine luan, that makes good siding with enough battens behind it… My son is now using this place as an music and audio post studio, and it’s really allowed him to get stuff done.”
From Mark, in L.A.: “I’ve been meaning to send you pix of our shed…born of your plans. we expanded it a bit to fill the space…and built in some much needed storage. Now my wife has moved her office out of the dining room and looks forward to her mornings sequestered in her shed, working away.”
Mark in L.A. took the concept up a notch by adding a small extension to the side and thereby expanding the space, and complimenting the design. I love the clean, light lines of the siding boards and the use of vertical roofing panels for siding accents.
Love the finished, sturdy look of the finished roof
Angela, in New Hampshire, writes that they used cedar for the sliding door and the window trim.
Since I published DIY Modern Shed Plans, a few of those who purchased them have been kind enough to share some photos and feedback from their own projects. One of my goals for starting this blog was to create a community for DIYers like me to share ideas and inspiration. On this post I will start a gallery of projects that others share, along with comments about the process. If you are reading this and would like to share your project here, please email your photos (and indicate permission to post) to me at: petermayx@gmail.com.

What is the size of shed your plans are for?
My shed is 10’x16’x8′ tall on the short side (Approx 9′ 2″ on the tall side) – the plans are for a shed build with those dimensions. As you can see on this page, however, people who have purchased the plans have altered the scale to their own needs or creative visions.
We have an existing (Old, cracked) poured foundation slab. Roughly square about 18 x 18. Do we need a floor deck or can we build up from it?
If you are building a wood Fran, I would personally recommend using floating concrete piers and building a floor, with some space in between the slab and the floor. It is important to have some airflow around the wood (including under) to prevent warping. Otherwise you risk warping and rot at the space where the walls meet the slab, where water can get trapped.
