MyShedPlansReviews 84

Well I give this jerk credit for his pervasive techniques of getting people back to his website. If you see a review that says Ryans Shed Scam and click it it takes you to his website and it is not a website where you can read about his scam. THis is the biggest rip off I have ever fallen for. Everything is not as advertised. You get 2 plans bnot 12,000. You get lots of articles not books written in 1864, or 1903 and you like reading about obsolete, useless article then this is the plan for you. I am totally disgusted!
Wish there was more I could do to expose this jerk and the Click Bank that supports this crap. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Buy a book.

I'm a web developer and should have known better. All of the reviews below reflect my view. A couple of things to help you feel a little better (maybe):

ClickBank is legit and easy to work with. So, if you see ClickBank on another site, don't run off; just check for reviews (which, obviously, I didn't).

Ryan's Shed doesn't have your credit card number. ClickBank has it and will not reveal it to their vendors.

I, if anyone, should not have fallen for this. So, don't beat yourself up over it. A web developer with over a decade of experience should have spotted this a mile away!

Have to say, though... he did hire some good copywriters for his site content.

NOT as advertised. Paid approx. 45 bucks for thousands of shed plans with full materials list, got about 100 shed plans from the University of North Dakota's public archives with zero materials lists. Plans are from the 1950s. Scanned as low-res PDFs which are entirely illegible, and presented at random.

The good news is they're not selling password-protected accounts or anything, just an URL. And there's a 60-day guarantee for a full refund. And the URL never changes. I could even give it to you right here, but I don't know the law and that might be sketchy (I have more scruples than Mr. Ryan).

So I recommend paying for the basic package, browsing the terrible selection of blueprints, saving the URL, then demanding a full refund. You'll get all your money back, plus you can keep all the crummy blueprints you purchased. Just make sure you contact ClkBait (or whoever they are) directly, Ryan's shed goons will try to stall your refund if you go through them.

Before you read my review, I will give you one bit of advice to save you time by following these instructions:

If you paid for MyShedPlans, immediately call the ClickBank customer service number to get your full refund: *******035

Don't bother contacting MyShedPlans - read everyone else's reviews if you wish to understand why that will get you nothing but simmering outrage.

If you have not yet purchased MyShedPlans but are considering it: DON'T GET SCAMMED, DITCH MYSHEDPLANS!

If you are not yet convinced, read on. Better yet, read all the many other entries that do a much better job of articulating the reasons why you should avoid being easily parted with your money, and your dignity.

So I was looking to build a shed and find plans that included material lists and instructions. I've built things before, but I just needed a guide to help me build a shed quickly and inexpensively.

Finding MyShedPlans seemed too good to be true; 12k shed plans, 3-D renderings, detailed material lists, but wait, there's more! Hundreds of useful guides, woodworking books, and project ideas ranging from birdhouses to bridges. And what was more, was the promise of an easy download and immediate access to boundless amounts of material so I could be right on my way to a sharp new shed.

BUT, it was in fact TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

I got suckered into the 12k shed plans, only to find myself falling for one of the oldest scammer sales pitches in the book by being up-sold into the add-ons. Before I clicked I did a quick review and the first few sites that popped up had said that it was worth the money to buy the add-on because that is where the real value was (perhaps a review page planted by the good folks of MyShedPlans).

Oh man. I have felt sick all day because I clicked "buy." I FEEL LIKE A TOTAL IDIOT. I KNOW BETTER THAN TO FALL FOR THIS SORT OF CHICANERY. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

I will say the transaction happened smoothly. They took my money and sent me an instant email with a link. So far so good. But then I clicked the link.

Once redirected to the webpage, I found a bewildering list of links, and downloads. Some were redundant, some didn't work. And I kept trying to figure out where the 12k plans were. I thought for what I paid I should be able to plug in my parameters into a query and get something that remotely looked like an organized list of plans that matched my query. But nada. Nothing. Zilch. Just piles of pdf's tucked seemingly haphazardly into folders here and there, listed in not too logical order in links on a webpage.

No guides. Just endless files. And you can't even download the whole mess at once. You have to do it in drips and drabs, thinking, "gee maybe this next folder will have something remotely useful in- crap! I guess I'll try this next one and- oh nuts! Well maybe this one has to - You've gotta be kidding me!" ad infinitum.

Oh and that up-sell that promised 3-D renderings and your own CAD to draw your own plans? Bogus. The rendering program didn't work. The CAD was primitive and grossly overpriced as a freebie, let alone having shelled out some $80 for the whole mess rubs salt into that freshly opened wound.

When you start to look at the plans, you realize some are absurdly out of date, or impossible to read because they are blurred - just like everyone else has reported on this site. What was even more appalling was it appeared most, if not all of what I had purchased, was easily available for free online. Some material looked as though it may have been pilfered - or "borrowed without permission or attribution from educational sites. And much of the "VIP-Premium" content was past its copyright - which is great if you want a children's woodworking book from the 1800's for historical purposes, which I'm sure is a fascinating read, but all that was ultimately meaningless since the sum total of what I downloaded offered nothing of any immediate benefit toward building a shed from a quality, step-by-step plan, with 3-D renderings, Material lists, and best practices, etc to help you build quickly, efficiently, and have something you can use and be proud of. I think the only proprietary plans must the the freebie they give away to entice you to pony up.

Thankfully I discovered this site - if only I had found it before I clicked "buy." But at least I found out that by calling the ClickBank number (*******035), you can speak with a live representative who can initiate a full refund.

Since I just initiated the refund tonight, they said it would take 3-5 business days for the charges to be reversed on my card. So, I am cautiously optimistic that this fool will not be long parted from his money.

Lesson learned. Fool me once...

The plans are pirated copies, some from "mycabinandsheds.com" as well as scanned 100 year old books. They are basic plans of very limited value. I clicked on a link from a "Kim Komando" email and saw the add for ******* plans and I figured it was a trusted advertiser. Come to find out after contacting Komando that there are 3rd party advertisers she would take no credit for endorsing. I should have done more research before I paid for anything but after finding out it is a scam I called the *******035 click bank number and they gave me a refund with no arguing at all.
