When you purchase a plan from our store, you will instantly receive a download link via email. Just click the “View content” button to go to the product’s download page.

If you don’t see the email in your inbox (or spam folder), please contact me—I’ll send it to you personally so you’ll never be left waiting.

All of our DIY plans are digital downloads, so you can access them instantly after purchase. You can print them at home or use them on your phone, tablet, or computer while building. Our PDFs are formatted for standard paper sizes (8,5×11 inch.) and are print-shop friendly.

Currently, our plans are available only in US measurements (feet and inches).
We’re actively working on creating metric versions, which will be available very soon. Please stay tuned!

All of our plans are crafted from hands-on building experience and refined through real-world testing. Each plan delivers:

  • Clear step-by-step instructions, with 3D visuals and diagrams
  • Detailed materials & tools lists
  • Guidance designed for builders of all skill levels, from woodworkers to first-time DIYers

Yes—you’re welcome to adjust the size or style to suit your space. Just be sure to recalculate any cuts or material lengths, as changes can affect structural integrity. Always double-check measurements before building.

You’re never building alone! Just send me a message—even partway through your build—and I’ll respond quickly and personally to help you stay on track.

Our plans provide a strong, weather-resistant framework. For colder regions, we recommend adding insulation or upgrading roofing materials. Let me know if you’d like help adapting your plan to a chillier climate!

Build times depend on the complexity of the project and your experience level. Most garden projects and potting benches can be completed in a day or weekend. Larger builds like greenhouses or chicken coops may take a few weekends—but every step is designed to be doable and enjoyable.

Since our plans are instantly downloadable, we don’t offer refunds for completed orders. But reach out if there’s a problem—I want to make sure you’re thrilled with your plan and build experience.

Yes! Visit our “Built by You” gallery to see how CoopPlansDIY builds look in the real world—greenhouses, chicken coops, potting benches, and more. Your finished project might just inspire the next builder.
