Before you build. Before you buy.
Start with a complete idea. See how it works, what the dimensions mean, and exactly which resources you can get.
Original layout studies and documented builds are clearly labelled. Resource cards tell you whether you are getting a study, a guide or construction plans.

The project collection
Layout reference · Garden storage
A mower-led storage study with a front shelf you can reach independently. See what fits in the assumed interior, what can come out first, and what changes when the shelf moves.
10 × 12 ft · nominal
Documented project · Bike storage
An independent reading of Vikkie Lee’s compact bike-shed project: front double access plus a side opening. Use the original build account, then check your bicycles and the space outside both openings.
7 × 4 ft · source-reported
Layout reference · Workshop
A compact workshop organized around a rear bench and reserved standing space. Compare the shown 60 in bench with a longer one before adding fixed machines or more storage.
8 × 10 ft · nominal
Layout reference · Storage + workshop
Keep the mower, front shelf and seasonal bin from the 10×12 study, then add a rear bench. Working at that bench requires the mower outside first.
12 × 16 ft · nominal
Documented project · Bike storage
A documented 3x3 Custom build for children’s bikes, scooters and outdoor toys. Its open front puts direct retrieval ahead of enclosed storage.
Footprint not disclosed
Layout reference · Greenhouse + storage
A 12×16 nominal example with transparent growing space behind a partition and an opaque dry-storage zone at the front. Test the connecting opening before allocating more growing area.
12 × 16 ft · nominal
Layout reference · Chicken coop + storage
An original new-build concept separating dry feed and tool storage from a chicken coop, with distinct daily service, animal and dirty clean-out routes.
Footprint not disclosed
Layout reference · Goose shelter
An original relationship study for domestic geese: ground access, dry resting space, water service and a separate cleaning route.
Footprint not disclosed
By size
Nominal sizes describe the exterior category. Check each reference’s authored interior and clear opening separately.

Know what you are getting
Our layout studies explain arrangements and trade-offs; they are not construction drawings. Documented-project pages identify the original author and link to their resources with checked access conditions. Unverified or unavailable files have no active download action.
