This modular wood shed designed by the crafty Makah Nation tribe of Washington State is a simple design using average supplies and comes in under $275 (depending on local lumber prices). It is a do-it-yourself project to tackle while the weather is still good and pays off this winter when stoking your fireplace or fire pit. The plans are available free thanks to the Burn Wise Program of the U.S. EPA.
