When cutting the birds mouth on the rafters,what degree is the angle cut?
The ends are 22.5 it says so that should be the birdsmouth also. double check first
any way you have plans for a 12 x 9 shed, with door only on one end,
could you blue print a barn shed 12by 10 by 10 feet height
Where can I obtain the plans?
could you make barn shed 10x12x10height
Can you please tell me what is the measurements of the door openings for both doors?
Does thes plan for The 10 x 12 shed meet building codes?
that is up to the county where you reside. A shed is not a living space andif you build it to plan and anchor it it will be okay. building inspectors involvement may take all the fun out and who knows. ME ? I would just build it.
Curious why the wall studs are cut to 7’6″ instead of 7’7-1/2″, which would make for an even 8′ interior wall. I’ll be installing 1/4″ peg board horizontally and would rather not have to rip 1-1/2″ off each sheet. I’m guessing there is a reason for the missing 1-1/2″ but I cannot spot it.
That is done so the 8 foot exterior siding can hang lower than the floor deck for a better seal.
Anyone have the approximate materials cost for the 10×12 barn in southern CA? I will do some homework at Home Depot but just was just curious for now versus buying a kit.
Thanks
Steve
