I take a garden shed photo whenever I spot an interesting shed, whether I am walking, cycling or just out and about. I love the variety of styles of construction and the way that the similar questions of storage or out side space can be answered in so many different ways.
When you are researching the type of shed that you want to build, I really recommend that you carry a camera around with you. Taking pictures of the shed and also lots of close up shots of all the constructional will help greatly when it comes to creating your own shed plans.
Details to record include how the cladding works at corners, windows and doors, the floor and roof structure. Connections and junctions are one area that causes most difficulty so pay particular attention to these.
