With hardworking advice from Popular Mechanics on designing, building, and customizing a shed for any yard, this is the ultimate inspirational handbook for every homeowner. nbsp;There arenbsp;innovative plans for building several sheds, each with a different practical use, as well as contributions from Popular Mechanics readers who share their own designs.nbsp;nbsp; The sheds include: - Small Is Beautiful: A 6' x 8' shed with solid framing, plywood sheathing, and cedar siding.
