Hi [FIRST NAME],

If you're thinking about building a shed, the first question is usually "what's this going to cost me?"

There's a free calculator that answers it for your exact size. Pick the width, depth, roof, door and windows, and it lists the lumber, sheets, roofing and fasteners, with an estimated price at typical US big-box prices:

No email needed, and it takes seconds per size, so you can compare an 8x10 with a 10x12 before you decide.

If you go ahead, the same site (FitMyShed) will give you the full plan for that shed: the cut list, a cutting plan, a shopping list and a 3D step-by-step build guide, for $37.

P.S. Prices are estimates and vary by region, so check your local store before you buy. Plans are a guide; check your local building codes and permit rules.

• Your yard isn't a standard size

Hi [FIRST NAME],

Most shed plans come in a handful of fixed sizes. Your yard doesn't. So you end up redrawing someone else's plan, or building a shed that doesn't quite fit the space.

FitMyShed works the other way around. You choose the exact size (anywhere from 4' to 20'), a gable or lean-to roof, and where the door and windows go. It builds the plan for that shed:

- An exact cut list, with which board each cut comes from
- A shopping list with estimated prices
- A 3D build guide you can turn around on your phone, step by step
- Printable framing drawings for the job site

• The cut list that tells you which board each cut comes from
• Less guesswork at the lumber yard
• Plan every cut before you start

Hi [FIRST NAME],

One of the trickiest parts of building a shed is the lumber. How many 2x4s? Which lengths? And how do you cut them so you're not left with a pile of short offcuts?

FitMyShed's plans include a cutting plan: for every board you buy, it shows which cuts come from it, with a 1/8" saw kerf allowed. The shopping list tells you what to buy, with estimated prices, before you spend anything.

It's all worked out for the size you choose, from 4' to 20', gable or lean-to.

• No more squinting at a paper diagram

Hi [FIRST NAME],

Paper plans are hard to read on a job site. Which way does that rafter go? What goes up first?

FitMyShed's plans come with a 3D build guide. Step through the build one stage at a time and turn the model around on your phone to see how it all fits together. The framing drawings print out for when you want paper.

And it's all for the size you pick, down to the 1/16".

You'll want to be comfortable with a circular saw, a drill and a level, and to have a helper for raising the walls and the roof. Plans are a guide; check your local building codes.

Hi [FIRST NAME],

Thinking about a shed this year? Here's what to settle before you buy anything:

1. The size. Measure the spot, leave room to walk around it, and think about what you'll store.
2. The rules. Check your local building codes, permit rules and any HOA requirements. Some areas need a permit above a certain size.
3. The roof. A gable roof gives more headroom; a lean-to is simpler and can sit against a fence or wall.
4. The budget. Price the materials for your exact size before you commit.
5. The plan. Get a cut list and build steps for the shed you're actually building.

FitMyShed does steps 4 and 5. The materials calculator is free, and the full made-to-measure plans are $37:
