I want to build a low, approx 8 x 10 garden shed, need plans, anyone have had a good experience getting plans?

You should be able to find plenty of plan books at Lowe's/HD. I think they tend to illustrate overbuilding though. If you want to see efficiency in shed construction, look at the prebuilt sheds sitting outside Lowe's/HD. Wood prices have gone up so much, I think a lot can be saved by building wisely. Get the floor LEVEL, off the ground (unless you use concrete)and treat/prime anything you suspect will rot 'cause it will otherwise. Good roof overhang on all four sides will prevent a lot of rot.

One of the best places to go is the local library and look at magazines like handyman also Lowe's or Home Depot have plans and magazines
