how to build a shed is the ultimate practical guide. with its clear easy-to-follow instructions, expert advice, and specially commissioned illustrations, you'll be able to source the materials, choose the right tools, and build your dream shed on a budget. how to build a shed is aimed at anyone keen to have a go, even if they've never used a hammer.
