My Shed Setup Now That It’s Finished (Tools, Shelves, Storage)

Finished Project

May 13

Once the shed was finished, I realized the real project was just beginning.

It wasn’t just about having four walls and a roof — it was about what I could turn it into.

Here’s how I turned my simple backyard shed into a usable, clean workspace (without overcomplicating it).

🧱 Floorplan Setup (Simple But Functional)

I used the original 10x10 footprint, but added just enough organization to make it feel like a mini-shop.

I keep all the daily-use tools inside:

They’re stored in a small wall-mounted rack and labeled plastic bins — all easy to grab.

Built using leftover plywood and a shelf plan from the same blueprint pack.

Top shelf: paints and solvents
Middle: hand tools and supplies
Bottom: clamps, jigs, and seasonal stuff

Each shelf is labeled. No more digging.

It’s no longer “just a shed” — it’s my space.
Here’s how I added custom touches that made it mine → simple shed upgrades

Now that this one is organized, I want:

A second shed for garden storage
A smaller one just for kids' bikes or tools
Or even a lean-to firewood shed (also included in the pack)
These are the exact projects I’ve been planning → future shed builds

Here’s everything that’s actually included in the full pack → blueprint breakdown

Q: Do you need a big shed to do all this?
A: Nope — mine is 10x10. You just need shelves and a plan.

Q: Can I build the shelves from the pack?
A: Yes — I used one of the basic shelf diagrams and changed the size.

Q: What’s the next upgrade you’ll add?
A: Probably insulation + power. That’ll make it year-round usabl
