These are the most versatile plans because they offer so many length, width, and height options.

You can build as short as 60 inches if overall height is an issue. Or build up to 12 ft sidewalls!

Table Of Contents For Single Slope Lean To Style Shed Plans

These are quite detailed plans with lots of instructions, photos, tables, and figures with two overhang options and multiple height options. In total the plans are 154 pages long.

If you are a handyman already then you can skip lots of the instructions and just go to the tables and figures. If you are a first time builder you can read and study the instructions until you are confident to get started.
