If you're thinking about building your own shed and you've already decided on the type of shed you want you're left with two issues.
You need to buy the material and have the right tools.
If you already have a wide selection of tools and power tools then you're off to a good start, but just to be sure (and for those of you who do not have many tools), I'm going to make a list of probably all the tools and equipment that you need in order to build your own shed: Hand Tools The core tools in your arsenal that you need to build your shed will always be your hand tools.
These include a hammer, a saw, a tape measure, a pencil, various screwdrivers, a selection of different size chisels, files and rasps and possibly a crowbar.
These tools are all relatively inexpensive and can easily be picked up at your local hardware store.
They will come in handy in the future for other jobs and repairs too, so the money is never wasted.
Power Tools Depending on the size of your shed, these tools are going to make your life a whole lot easier.
There are actually only a few power tools that you really need and for the rest you can get away with hand tools.
Remember that there are plenty of rental companies out there, so it may be much better for you to just rent power tools for a few days if you have no future use for the tools.
These power tools include a drill (I love a cordless drill, both for drilling holes and for use as a screwdriver), a belt sander, an electric saw and potentially a nail gun and air compressor.
Please note that these tools can make your life a lot easier, but they are also dangerous to use if you have no official training or experience.
Be very cautious with power tools, don't leave them unattended, don't operate them if you are distracted by anything or under pressure and if you really have no experience with using these tools it may be better to ask someone to lend you a hand who knows what they are doing.
You will of course also need a place where you can work, because when cutting and assembling various parts of your shed, you will need a workbench and possibly a vice.
I also have not mentioned disposable equipment like sandpaper, paint, paint brushes, nails, screws, glue and so forth.
This is all mentioned in your shed plans guide or blueprint and it's something that is very easy to get hold of so no need to worry about for now.
Focus on collecting your hand tools and electrical tools and then most of the work will go a lot easier.
Preparation is half your work done for you, and if you are well prepared the entire process of building your own shed will flow a lot smoother.
