Hey /diy/, I just moved back home to save money and relocate to a better area but I cannot take the noise from my large family after living alone for so long. I've decided I'm going to build a small shed and throw a mattress in there, which is great because the property is huge. 10x12 is what im planning on. I'm not too handy but I have built a shed before so I'm fairly confident this will be easy peasy.
I have a couple questions.
>1) are there any torrents of basic shed plans that you guys know of?
>2) I know this will be far from accurate but If im just looking for bare minimum, pretty much a shack with nothing fancy, just the frame walls floors and roof, could this be done for around $600-800?
Pic related is what I'm going for, except with a door. I already have a foundation set to put it on. Is my price expectation unreasonable?

ur fuckin dumb dude

10x12 meters ? lol thats tiny for a property but whatever..
>>962902
torrents? as if shed plans are secret?
is it basically an outhouse or is it supposed to be a liveable space?
for the basics: frame some walls, attach to slab, screw on some hinges and a board for a door, add sheathing outside, attach roof rafters with brackets, lay roof sheathing, put down some shingles
if you wanted electrical, insulation, windows, etc. that would take more doing
Do you even need a drawing of a garden shed?
Just build something and use your brain while doing it.

Obviously 10x12 feet is the dimensions of the shed, not property. Fucking yuropoors being intentionally obtuse about units when they're clear from context is the worst part of this site, I swear.
just do something nonviolent and go to jail

Yes, definitely. I recommend using pier blocks or otherwise preformed foundation blocks available at box stores and lumber/building suppliers.
At 10x12, your floor is 2x8,and your roof COULD go 2x4s, but I'd go 2x6. Use rough sawn pine siding from lowe's (board and batten) and it'll provide structure as well as the siding. Seal the bottom edges on front and back before installation though, will prevent rot in the future.

muh inches
Hey if you're looking for shed "size" check out craigslist and just get a shed. A lot of guy will give them away for free if you break it down and carry it off.
Spend the extra $$$ on solar oven, solar water heater, small panel to charge a phone.

Or just buy a damn extension cord

Or just buy ear plugs...
Just build a basic tiny house I designed one that is 10x10 and has full utilities only problem for you is that it will cost a couple thousand to fully furnish. But it is definitely possible to make a shed livable.

I feel your pain OP as I live with someone who literally externalizes their every single thought.
but a pair of reusable ear plugs and a nice in ear headphones will be way cheaper, that is if sound is the 'only' reason.

>hurr-durr, fucking yuropoors
>burger mustardface here, how to live like a bum, lads?

on a side note, I aquired shitton of cindeblocks for free, can I build 20x20 shed "cabin"
Gather junk bricks and put a fireplace in. I built a forge with brick found in ditch backs in rural California in a day, I'm sure you can find them where you live in a week.

Also you can male mortor from cement and sand by sifting the rocks and shit out of cement and mixing it 1:10 cement:sand. I mixed this 1:5 and it was to heavy on cement, when i expand from a breakdrum toa sink I'll mix 1:10.
you moved home to save money, but you're willing to spend 6-800 on a shed to sleep in?
>>962902
why a shed, why not invest properly and build a tiny house, and roll out when the time comes.
Just buy a shed from home depot?
>>962902
800usd of lead thin sheet.
Or 800usd of sand to fill the walls
The heavier the better.

That's less then a months rent in a ton of places.
Be sure to consider your climate. You'll have every wall of your house directly in contact with 100% wholesome, organic, natural mother nature and she can be a real cunt in the winter and summer. I understand you have a slab, but make sure to plan for drainage. You don't want to be downhill of a huge deforested sit bean field after a huge rain storm. Take no chances with that... All it takes is one flood to fuck up your entire year.
Can definitely be done for that cheap. Look for (good) recycled materials, free pallets (you'll have to break these down but they are useful), etc. I'm sure you can simply google some shed plans or buy a book.
It's gonna have to be a cheap metal shed because wooden ones of that size are about a grand minimum. Here's a metal shed from homedepot for $428. since you're not going to retire there I wouldn't go overboard anyway. Buy some sheets of 4x8 foam board to insulate the walls and roof. Now you're at over $500 tax and all. Pick up a cheap futon for $150 or so and you're all set. With your budget constraints I'd say Craigslist is gonna be your friend here.
