Gable roof storage shed plans.

4x6 storage shed plan this durable wooden shed features a classic gable roof and 24 square foot of floor space for storing garden equipment firewood and more. 4 12 roof pitch 8 wide 6 12 roof pitch 10 and 12 wide drip edge 7 16 roof sheathing. When you live in an area where it rains or snows a lot you need a roof with a steeper pitch and a little more slope to help prevent any snow or ice buildup. 7ft walls means no splicing the gable ends.

6 high walls 8 wide 7 high side walls 10 and 12 wide 4 x8 grooved siding. Nail 3 1 2 nails through the 2 6 band and into the floor joist. Lay the components on a level surface and align the edges flush. 4 steeper gable style roof more pitch and a stronger design.

Pressure treated floor framing. 8x8 gable storage shed material list cutting list. Of course 9 12 ft walls are an option. 10 1 2 plywood 4 x8 sheets cut to size the shed floor is built with pressure treated 2 6 s and pressure treated 4 4 s.

As you can see in the diagram you need to cut the joists from 2 6 lumber. Here are the dimensions of my regular gable roof sheds. Cut the rim joists 7 feet long and the floor joists 141 inches long 12 feet minus 3 inches. Place the frame on 2 by 6 pressure treated runners and make adjustments with shims until the frame is level.

2 4x4 pressure treated 8 skids 2 2x4 pressure treated 8 bands 7 2x4 pressure treated 93 floor joists 2 5 8 plywood 4x8 floor decking. Fiberglass roofing shingles 1x4 trim on. Drill pilot holes and insert 3 1 2 screws to assemble the frame. But 8ft walls will give you an additional 12 inches of inside storage at very little additional effort or cost.

Not only does this design feature a steeper pitch of course you can set your own pitch to meet the weather in your local area but one that is designed in such a way as to be. Lay the floor joists along the rim joists 16 inches on center and attach them with 16d nails or joist hangers. Framing lumber for walls roof 5 8 floor sheathing. The first step of the project is to build the floor frame for the gable storage shed.
