Customer Feedback

Brians 12x16 Barn w/porch

Brian used my 12x16 barn shed with porch plans to build this really cool looking shed. Here's what Brian emailed me about his project:

"Thank you, John, very much appreciated. I'll see if I can find the pics of the build for you. As I said, the ceiling was lowered by a foot which gives headspace upstairs and storage space was made above the porch.

We use it downstairs for a hobby room and, in the winter I bring in my vintage '69 BSA A65 for any work that needs doing.

I often look at it and think with a bit of modification to comply with municipal rules, it would make a great guesthouse or even a backyard rental which is now legal in our area.

And that porch? Well, in the hot weather a cool breeze comes up through the woods from the lake and you could, and we do, sit there all day!"

all the best

Jack's Meat Smoker Shed

"I loved the plan and was able to update it to my own specs. I added to the roof line and had trusses made accordingly. I prepared the site with concrete slab and my barn is probably more "fancy" than what the plans might normally be.

I blogged about it on my blog with all the information on planning, my parameters, my helpers, my budget and more (https://www.jacksblend.com/how-to-build-an-awesome-smoker-shed/).

Thank you so much to Shedking for the plans. They were awesome and exactly what I needed to create my project. I hope this helps/inspires others to do the same."

The Gray's Backyard Guest House

"My wife & I put a lot of time and effort into the build which gave us great pride in our achievement, this was for sure much easier with your plans and manuals you provide with the offer. We competed this shed with a small kitchenette, bathroom with full shower, a staircase that leads up to a king bed in the loft. Many items I custom made for sizing options that were not available as a commercial purchase such as the kitchen counter and the small bathroom vanity, along with the bathroom barn door as well.

This is a fully functional shed/house with on-demand water heater, air conditioner (a must in south Texas), complete bathroom facilities including an exhaust fan for those nature needs in a small area! LOL! I was fortunate to have an older meter loop from a past existing home as well as a septic ystem which I was able to use for the project, otherwise I couldn't have made it happen in the time we completed it.

All in all the wife and I enjoyed the time to work together and I could not have accomplished such a task without her bountiful help, also her father provided many days of pure grunt work with all the lifting and holding frames in place.

Thanks again for your wonderful plans and guides!"
