Building Plans for a Timber-Frame Shed from Black and Decker
Step-By-Step Building Instructions


This 8'x10' shed has the same rough-sawn timbers and basic design used in traditional timber-framing, but with joints that are easy to make. In addition to an attractive interior, the shed has a homemade skylight and a large side window that make it a bright, inviting space. If staying cool is a concern, install operable windows, or adapt the shed frame to add more windows.

The building guide is well worth a look even if you're not planning on building this shed. It's a good primer on building anything with a simple, up-to-date version of traditional post and beam construction.

Black and Decker offers dozens of reasons for you to use their great tools with a series of free building project plans on their website. You'll find plans for everything from a mail box for your front porch to a variety of sheds for your backyard. The plans include extensive details and complete material lists. Click on any of the illustrations for a larger view. Each plan is accompanied by a building guide with illustrations and step by step instructions. Visit www.BlackAndDecker.com to find all of the plans and information on the latest tools to make building them easy.
