  • The door is built using sandwich construction for strength and durability. Our door plan shows you how to build a shed door that will outlive the shed. The shed door is built using a 2x4 inner frame faced on the inside with 1/2" O.S.B. and on the outside there is a layer of T-111 to match the rest of the shed. We use 3 hinges on the doors and the screws go into the inner 2x4 frame of the door to give extra strength.
• Siding: T-111 exterior siding. Other sidings such as vinyl may be used.
• Roof: The roof is framed using 2x4's to build the trusses. It is sheeted with 1/2" O.S.B. The plans give you the dimensions and cut angles so you can build the roof rafters on the ground and then put them up on the top plates.
• Roof Pitch: 4/12, this means that for every 4 inches of rise there is 12 inches of run horizontally.
• Roof Overhang: 4" on the sides and 1" on the front and back.

• Trim: 1x4 and 1x6 wood, masonite or cement trim materials are used to finish the corners, roof eves and facia, and door.
• Floor Load: 50 pounds per square foot for framed floors. You don't want your shed floor to feel spongy.
