I made a gardern shed out of 10 used shuttering boards and a few lengths of 2x1
i had no plans, but the roof was two boards as is no cutting
made pine ends (2) and a door with a sheet of ridgid pvc for window and it lasted for five years before it was dismantled i only have scoolboy woodwork experience but it was easy to do with a few power tools............have a go!

I made the floor by making a frame on the top so as to screw the walls on
same on the roof i laid the shed on a bed of chippings with 2x2 slabs on top with a plastic membrane to stop damp getting to the floor hope this helps you can make a better, cheaper shed than buying a diy job from b+q
