Floor
Cut two 2×6’s to 10′ long for the floor band. Cut nine 2×6’s to 9′ 9″ long for the floor joist. Cut three 4×4’s to 10′ long for the skids.
Use 3 1/2″ nails to assemble, nail through the band and into the joist. Joist are spaced out 16″ O.C.
Square the floor frame by measuring diagonally until both sides measure the same.
Measure and cut to size 3/4″ tongue and groove plywood for the floor deck.
Install to floor frame using 2″ deck screws.
Walls
2×4 lumber is used for wall framing. Wall studs are spaced 16″ O.C.
Side Wall Frame:
Cut four 2×4’s to 10′ long for the top and bottom plate. Cut two 2×4’s to 9′ 5″ long for the top double plate. Cut twenty six 2×4’s to 7′ 6′ long for the wall studs. Assemble both side wall frames as shown on drawing above using 3 1/2″ nails.
If you are installing a door and window see door/window plans:
Close up view of side wall ends.
Front/Back Wall Frame:
Cut four 2×4’s to 9′ 5″ for the top and bottom plate. Cut two 2×4’s to 10′ long for the top double plate. Cut eighteen 2×4’s to 7′ 6″ for the wall studs.
Assemble with 3 1/2″ nails as shown on illustration above.
See plans below for framing door opening:
Nail wall frames into the floor and adjacent wall frames using 3 1/2″ nails.
Do not nail on bottom plate door opening, plate on door opening will be cut and removed.
Truss/Rafters
2×6 lumber is used to build the roof truss. Roof truss is spaced out 16″ O.C.
Cut forty four 2×6’s to 4′ 2 1/2″ long for the rafters. Cut 22.5 degree angle cuts on both ends in the opposite directions.
Cut a birds mouth on eighteen rafters for the lower rafters.
Use 1/2″ plywood to make gussets. Cut gussets as shown on illustration above.
Assemble roof truss as shown above using 2″ deck screws.
Roof truss is spaced out 16″ O. C., install using 3 1/2″ nails.
Siding
Measure and cut 2×4’s to size and install to the front and back top wall frame, notch the top end of the 2×4’s around rafters.
Install windows and t1-11 exterior siding. Measure and cut siding to size and install using 2″ finishing nails.
Install top siding using 2″ finishing nails, cut siding along rafters.
Roof
The front and back of the shed will have about an 8″ roof overhang. To make the overhang bigger or smaller adjust the length of the outriggers.
Cut eight 2×4’s to 1′ 9 3/4″ long and eight 2×4’s to 1′ 1 3/4″ for the outriggers. Notch the rafters and siding to fit around outriggers.
Install using 3 1/2″ nails. Use the remaining rafters for the front and back roof trim.
Cut 2×4’s and siding to size to fill in the gap between the walls and roof.
Cut 1/2″ plywood to size for the roof deck. Install the roof deck using 2″ nails.
Install roofing felt, drip edge, and shingles.
Trim
Measure and cut 1×4 lumber to size for the window and corner trim. Use 2″ finishing nails to install 1×4 trim.
The plans are easy to follow and instructions are clear.
Am I missing the double door dimensions someplace?
How do you think it cost for materials to make this?
Not including nails and such, just lumber and siding, if purchased at Home Depot as of 6/28/20 it would cost you $1,222 – not including hardware.
Floor
11 – 2*6*10 @9.17 = 100.87
3 – 4*4*10 @16.57 = 49.71
4 – 3/4″ 4*8 @30.98 = 123.92
Foundation Total = 274.50
Walls
12 – 2x4x10 @4.96 = 59.52
44 – 2x4x8 @3.23 = 142.12
Walls Total = 201.64
Truss/Rafters
22 – 2x6x10 @6.98 = 153.56
2 – 1/2″ ply 4×8 @19.55 = 39.10
Truss/Rafters Total = 192.66
Siding
15 – T1-11 ext. Siding – 4×8 @23.90 = 358.50
6 – 2x4x8 (treated) @4.47 = 26.82
Siding Total = 385.32
Roof
7 – 2x4x8 @4.47 = 31.29
7 – 1/2″ ply4x8 @19.55 = 136.85
Roof Total = 168.14
Grand Lumber Total = 1,222.26
These plans are a good starting point, but take some time and think about each step before moving forward. After helping someone with planning (and then he built this) we were both scratching our heads at some of the steps. There are a few points where the drawings are confusing or just incorrect. Some more points still where a different approach would have been faster, easier, and left the maker with a better end result.
Additionally, be careful with the estimate provided above on price. I say this for a few reasons. I am not saying anything there is wrong per se, but you need to understand that lumber prices are volatile and can vary greatly depending on what quality. For example, the above post reads 2x4x8 @ $3.23, as I write this they are $4.98. Furthermore, the above post says it does not include hardware, but it also doesn’t include anything for roofing. The shingles alone are going to be approx $200. Beyond that, there’s nothing listed for the door, window, etc. I’m sure you get my point.
As a reference point only, the lumber and hardware ordered for the project that I mentioned earlier was $2382 (including delivery and tax) from Home Depot. Even with that, there have been store trips to grab more hardware (extra nails etc)
Again, a good starting point, but take some real time to think through this before attempting. You may decide that a gable roof, or a gambrel without the overhang, or a smaller shed is a better idea. Either way good luck, and I hope this post helps you plan better as it is not intended to deter anyone from building something with their own two hands.
