Depending on how you build it, you can have multiple shelves inside for storing smaller items or leave it open enough for hanging large tools like hoes, rakes, and shovels.
You can also make and attach a nifty foldout surface for potting.
DIY Recycled Window(s) Garden Shed
If you happen to have a bunch of old windows lying around the place you can slap them all together with a few nails and pieces of spare lumber.

These hanging racks work splendidly on both interior and exterior garden shed walls as well.
DIY Garden Shed with Gutter and Water Catching Barrel
This ingenuitive garden shed works well for storing tools, as a mini greenhouse, and even as a chicken coop if you so please to use it as such.
The garden shed also makes a wonderful rain catcher and base for a DIY irrigation system for your garden.
DIY Garden Tool and Potting Shed from Recycled Pallets
If you can find yourself a handful of old wooden pallets and scrape together a can full of nails, you can build a lovely DIY garden tool shed from scratch.
You can even add DIY wood shakes to the roof from additional pallets that you break down for a waterproof top.
Greenhouse and Garden Shed (Pre-Built)
This greenhouse and garden shed unit comes pre-built by the folks at Salem Structures. If you search locally, you can find a similar type of unit for purchase.
The DIY part of this garden shed comes in when you install the gravel foundation and garden path leading to the porch.
DIY Garden Tool Shed from Recycled Planks
If you’ve recently deconstructed an old fence or building, why not consider using the old planks or fence panels to construct yourself a new DIY garden tool shed?
The garden frog’s example above goes to show what wonders can be created from a pile of scrap wood and a few dollars’ worth of new supplies.
DIY Mini Cottage Shed from Recycled Materials
This DIY garden shed has enough room for all your garden tools, a potting station, and even the kitchen sink if you so desire to throw it in there.
If you don’t have a root cellar, this design also doubles as a cold storage unit for fruits and veggies with a bit of preparation.
Mailbox in the Garden for Storing Tools
Here’s another great idea that doesn’t technically qualify as a garden shed, but one that does allow enough room for storing your main garden hand tools.
All you need to do is slap a pole in the ground and attach an old mailbox to it, and wallah! Instant toolbox in the garden.
Portable Barrel for Garden Tools
One last idea that isn’t really a garden shed at all, but works just as well in many cases, is this mobile barrel for storing garden tools.
You can fit all of your tools in it, including extra supplies and even your largest tools like shovels and rakes.
The best part is you can move it wherever you need it or want it.
Barn-Style Garden Tool Sheed with Wood Shake Roof
If you have the time, the money, and the desire, a barn-like garden shed for tools and supplies, such as this one featured by southernliving.com is an amazing investment to make in your garden.

Just whip up a basic frame out of 1×2 or 2×4 boards and screws with a drill, and cover the walls with the wood of your choice. Even recycled wood works well for a DIY garden shed project like this one.
