Save Time And Money With Shed Building Tool Kit
Posted: March 15th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Shed building tool kit | Tags: Shed building tool kit | No Comments »Hi All,
Here are a few tips and pieces of advice regarding the basic tools you’ll need to build your own shed based on my own experiences. The best thing I can advise is to actually have a proper set of construction plans, including a materials list. I know this isn’t a tool per se, but believe me when I tell you that without them you going to end up making multiple trips to the supply store and wasting a lot of time, energy and money. With a good set of plans, you’ll know exactly what lumber, hardware and materials you’ll need.
OK, that out of the way, these are the tools I think are pretty much necessary to your basic tool building kit set:
- a framing square and chalk line for laying out your construction plans
- a good quality framing hammer
- a power or cordless drill
- an electric circular saw

- an assortment of hand-tools like screwdrivers, wrenches
- a shovel, post-hole diggers and a wheel barrow to mix concrete in (if you are going to construct a permanent foundation you will)
- work gloves (saves you getting blisters)
- paint brushes or rent or buy a paint sprayer for the exterior finish
Optional:
- a reciprocating saw for odd cuts on wood that you may come across
- a construction calculator
Again, I really think the best tool of all that you can have in your tool kit is your set of construction plans. One of the most important things about a high quality set of blue prints is that it will also list all the cut sizes you need to make. Something I have done in the past is just give this list to my lumber yard and for a small fee they’ve cut all the pieces to size for me. It saved me a lot of time (and actually money as well because there was no wastage. Then I just put the shed together like a big puzzle. I guess if you do it this way, you won’t need the power tools.
Anyway, I hope this helps. If you want to take a look at where I got all my plans from here’s the site:
