How To Build A Shed From Scratch

Step By Step Guide…

1. How to build a shed foundation: Excavate the building site and add a 4″ layer of gravel as a foundation, compact the gravel base making sure it is flat and level.
2. Cut three 4 × 4 treated timber skids at 144″ level the skids on the gravel foundation.
3. Cut two 2 × 6 rim joists at 144″ and ten joists at 93″. Mark the joist layout onto the rim joists. Assemble frame with 16d galv. common nails; check each joist for crowning and install it with the crowned edge up.
4. Set the floor frame on top of the skids and measure the diagonals to make sure it’s square. Install metal clip angles at each joist along the two outer skids, using 1 1/2″ joist hanger nails and 16d galv. common nails, and toenail each joist to the centre skid with 16d galv. nails
5. Install the tongue-and-groove floor sheathing, starting with a full sheet at one corner of the frame. Use 8d galv. nails every 6″ along the edges and every 12″ in the field.
6. Cut the 2 × 4 wall plates: four at 144″ for the sidewalls and four at 89″ for the front and back walls
7. Mark the stud layouts onto the plates.
8. Cut twenty-seven studs at 92 5/8″, and cut six at 81 1/2″ to serve as jack studs
9. Build three headers with 2 × 6s and 1/2″ plywood: one at 65″ for the door opening, one at 67″ for the right side window, and one at 35″ for the rear window.
10. Assemble, raise, and brace the walls one at a time, then add the double top plates
11. How to build a shed roof: cut two pattern rafters. Test-fit the roof rafters using a 2 × 8 spacer block, then cut the remaining twelve common rafters. Cut eight rafters for the gable end overhangs—these do not have bird’s mouth cuts.
12. Cut the 2 × 8 ridge board at 156″. Draw the rafter layout onto the top plates and ridge board, using 16″ on-centre spacing. The outsides of the outer common rafters should be 6″ from the ends of the ridge board
13. Install the roof rafters. Reinforce the rafter-wall connection with metal anchors—install them on all but the outer common rafters
14. Cut three 2 × 4 rafter ties at 96″, and clip the top outer corners so they won’t project above the rafters. Position each tie next to a pair of rafters. Face-nail each tie end to the rafter with three 10d nails, then toenail each tie end to the top wall plate with two 8d nails.
15. Cut the gable-wall plates to reach from the ridge to the wall plates. Install the plates with their outside edges flush with the outer common rafters. Cut and install the gable studs.
16. Cut and install the 2 × 6 sub fascia along the eaves. Keep the ends flush with the outsides of the overhang rafters, and the bottom edges flush with the bottom rafter edges; use 16d nails.
17. Install the 1 × 8 fascia along with the gable overhangs, then along the eaves, holding it 1/2″ above the rafters so it will be flush with the sheathing; use 6d galv. finish nails.
18. Install the 1/2″ plywood sheathing, starting at a lower corner of the shed roof; use 8d box nails driven every 6″ along the edges and every 12″ in the field of the sheets.
19. Attach metal drip edge along the eaves, then apply 15# building paper over the sheathing. Add drip-edge along the gable ends, over the paper
20. Install the plywood siding, using 8d galv. finish nails. Butt the top edges of the siding against the soffits. Don’t nail the siding to the rear window and door headers in this step. At the gable ends, install Z-flashing along the top edge of the siding, then continue the siding up to the soffits
21. Cut out the bottom plate from the door opening
22. How to install a shed door: Cut the door frame pieces from 3/4″ × 4 1/2″ cut the head jamb at 61 1/4″ and the side jambs at 81 7/8″. Assemble the frame by screwing through the head jamb and into the side jambs with 2 1/2″ deck screws
23. Cut 1 × 2 stops and install them inside the jambs with 1 1/4″
    deck screws or 3d galv. finish nails. If the doors will swing out, install the stops 2 1/4″ from the outside edges of the frame; if they’ll swing in, install the stops 2 1/4″ from the inside edges.
24. Install the door frame in the rough opening, using shims and 10d galv. casing nails. Make sure the frame is square and plumb
25. Cut twelve pieces of 1 ×, 6 tongue-&-groove boards, at 81 3/4″. For each door, fit together six boards with their ends flush, then mark the two end boards for trimming so that the total width is 30″. Trim the end boards
26. Cut the Z-brace boards following the Door Elevations. Lay the doors on a flat surface and attach the brace boards using construction adhesive and l 1/4″ wood screws
27. Install the hinges and hang the door, using shims to set the gaps at the bottom and top of each door
28. Install flashing above the door, nail-off the siding, then install the 1 × 4 door trim, using 8d galv. finish nails
29. How to install a shed window: For each window, cut the 3/4″ × 4 1/4″ frame stock to form a rectangular frame with outer dimensions that are 1/2″ shorter and narrower than the rough opening. Assemble the frame with 2 1/2″ deck screws. Cut and install a 2 × 4 mullion in the centre of the frame for the side-wall window
30. Install each window frame in its rough opening, using shims and a level to make sure the frame is plumb and level and the jambs are straight. Fasten the frame with 10d galv. casing nails
31. Cut the 1 × 2 stops. Bevel the outer sill stops. Attach the inner stops with 6d galv. finish nails. Order the glass to fit.
32. Install the glass and outer stops, applying glazing tape to the stops on both sides of the glass. Install the 1 × 4 window trim
33. Install the horizontal 1 × 4 trim. Fasten the trim with 8d galv. finish nails.
34. Install the 1 × 4 corner trim so that it butts against the horizontal trim and extends to the bottom edges of the siding
35. Caulk along all trim joints, where the trim meets siding, and around the door and window trim.

Most plans sold online are not designed by architects, draughtsmen, builders, or even experienced woodworkers.
They are often cobbled together by ghost-writers who have never left their comfy seat, not to mention, picked up a hammer or a piece of lumber…

Experience Not Essential

If you have none or limited, DIY experience you can still follow plans and build your own shed.
I have worked in the building industry my whole life – as a Plumber, Roofer, Builder, and currently combing all those skills and more as a House Flipper.
Throughout my career, the best building tip I ever received was back in the ’80s, from my first boss.
                                                           “Measure Twice Cut Once.”
I had just started my Plumbing Apprenticeship at 16 years old and a little nervous about making costly mistakes.
It is a tired old saying perhaps, but even now as a professional builder, I still follow that advice today – it slows me down so I think about what I’m doing…
You can be sure measuring twice, saves time and money in the long run.
Building A Shed Is Not Rocket Science, it is a process…
You will be surprised how easy and satisfying it is once you start building your own shed, for the most part, building work is mainly common sense.
