How To Build a Shed

There are a few things you should know before you decide to build a shed.

When first begin building a shed, you begin with 4 planks of wood for the sides, and roof over the top. They keep the shed upright and standing, without any one piece it will topple over in disgrace. If they aren't nailed in tight, your shed will tilt to one side in a very unconventional way. The importance of these first steps will be discussed later.

Next you'll need paint, and lots of it. Also invest in both rollers, wide, and narrow brushes to cover every nook and cranny of the surface area. Because this shed is probably outdoors, you will need to paint it with many coats, as coat after coat will peel off after wear and tear.

Note, that over the time period of many years, your shed will continue to look older and older, even the day after you finish it.You see, your poor little shed that sits on the side of your house will go through many hardships. 

That lovely layer of red paint that the shed thought would stick around forever, peels of little bits at time. Those many layers that the small shack thought meant the most, were the pieces that fell off quickest.

Soon that little shed that was once enclosed in bright red paint, now has small patches spread sporadically across it's panels.

When that little shed went through strong winds, inches upon inches of snow, pounding rain, and the beating rays of the sun. These conditions caused the paint to fall with trepidation of what was to come. When that paint fell, the small shed grieved, feeling as if it was falling apart already.

Remember the emphasis of the importance of the roof and the 4 panels? The little shed is then reminded how far it is from falling apart.

Each panel protected the shed from each direction of wind that decided to hit it. The four panels help hold up the roof. Each complimenting one another when holding the shed together.

That roof became the most important part of the shed keeping each panel in line, where they all held tight together storm after storm. It protected each panel through everything, a love that didn't even loosen a nail.

In that moment when the shed was only covered with small chunks of bleak, faded paint, it felt so protected and loved by it's side panels and most importantly, it's roof. It didn't matter how much paint was left, but that each panel was nailed in as tight as it began with. Unlike the paint that made the shed look so good, the roof and it's panels didn't bail when times got tough for the shed, rather they stuck through.

The panels and roof made that shed everlasting. From the beginning of the building each panel was nailed in just as tight. Only the fate of a wrecking ball could tear apart something so strong.

When building a shed, don't forget the roof and the side panels.
