The following are instructions on how to build a shed with a Pine Harbor do it yourself post and beam garden shed and storage shed kit. We would love for you to buy one of our shed kits, but if you don't live in the New England area it may not be economically feasible for you to have one of our kits shipped to you. While these shed kit assembly instructions are not exactly plans, they could be used to cut and build a post and beam shed out of lumber you may be able to buy from a sawmill near you. The building measurements are relatively simple to figure out from these instructions. With the exception of the roof rafters and the notching of the posts to accommodate the purlins, all of the other pieces are straight cuts and either 2x4 or 4x5 lumber.
