Shed Project Ideas I’m Planning Next (And Why)

After I finished my first shed, I realized something: Here’s how I built it, step-by-step — tools, time, and cost → full weekend breakdown

The hardest part of building… was deciding what to build next.

That blueprint pack I used?
It wasn’t just for sheds. It came with thousands of DIY woodworking projects — organized by category, difficulty, and material.

I listed everything that’s actually included here → see what’s inside the pack

Here’s what I’m planning next — and why.

1. 🪑 Backyard Workbench Table

• Simple weekend build

• Great for future paint/stain projects

• Space for clamps, vise, and tool storage

Why this one? Because after building my shed, I needed a better workspace.
This table plan uses just a few 2x4s and fits perfectly inside.

Time to build: 4–5 hours
Tools needed: Circular saw, drill, clamps

2. 📦 Small Storage Cabinet (Shelves + Doors)

This is for organizing paint cans, small tools, and supplies.
I found 3 cabinet plans in the pack — one with full doors, one open-frame, and one wall-mounted.

Why this one? Because I’m tired of using cardboard boxes to store everything.

Time to build: 1 day
Materials: Plywood, hinges, screws
Bonus: Plan includes shelf measurements + cut list

3. 🧒 Kids’ Tool Bench or Starter Project

I’m planning to build this one for my kid.
One of the plans is literally titled “kid-sized bench for learning tools” — and it’s made with safety in mind.

Why this one? Because I want the next generation to start early — but safely.

🎯 The Point Is: This Doesn’t Stop at the Shed

Once I got used to the diagrams and instructions, every new project felt easier.

It’s how I picked the right shed style too → here’s how I chose

The hard part now is just choosing what to build.

These aren’t just "shed blueprints" — they’re:

• Furniture plans

• Deck projects

• Outdoor benches

• Garden boxes

• Garage racks

• Even birdhouses and fences
