Kevin,

I bought a kit which I will never do again. The quality of wood was terrible; bowed, split, knotted and some still had bark on it. I think it's where all the reject 2x4s go that nobody will buy.

These are the plans I used, I probably could have made it up on the fly but there were a few details that I wasn't sure about. I bought my plans at Lowe's but these are the exact same ones. There are some shed plans on eBay that are pretty cheap too.

I did make a mistake, apparently I was supposed to cut all the studs down to 7ft. I didn't realize this mistake till it came time to do the doors. The extra height didn't matter, I made a loft above the mower. When I priced out the materials, I found that Hardy panel was only a few bucks more than wood siding so I used it instead of wood. I don't know what is heavier, the hardy panel or PT plywood I used for the floor.

Someone posted a shed that they built for their tear about a year ago, might have been Camp ADK?
