How to build a shed at home in 10 easy steps

foundation of the shed
  • Dig a footing trench approx 1’x1′ deep and wide. 
  • Fill the trench with concrete 
  • Now add mortar to hardened concrete and add bricks 
  • A single layer of bricks should be enough 
  • Keep count of bricks in your foundation. It should count up to 135 bricks 
  • Your foundation should measure 10’-7 ½” on each side

 

Step -2 floor frame assemble

  • Line up the floor’s plywood sheet by marking the 9′ joist every 11″ 
  • Use 8×5″ Phillips wood screws in order to secure the joist.
  • The corners should be at 90%

On the floor, we have a common joist and rim joist, but on the wall, we have studs and bottom and top plates, four each. Each of them should be 3 ½” wide and 10′ long.

  • Lay out is somewhat similar to the floor layout, so follow that 
  • You need to screw the wall using flat head woods

 

Step -5 assemble the roof frame

  • Use 10′ pressured lumber to assemble the beams 
  • Connect the beams with flat head Philip wood screw
  • Build the rafters by using 2×4 or 2×6 
  • Cut the rafters, collar ties, and ridge board as per your need or directions. 
  • Rafters should be 18 and measure 6’-11″ long. 
  • Try to space the raters at 1’-1′ ¼”. Also shown in the diagram above. 

 

Step -6 Attach exterior siding to the side walls.

  •   Install wall trims by using 1×3 pressure-treated lumber. You’d need two boards cut to 5’x10 ¾” and two boards of 8’x ½”, and the last one cut to 10.’
  • Install starter course 9’-5″ long from where the pressure treated lumber with cross-section 1/4″ x 3/4″.
  • You should use 1/2 “x 6” siding boards for installing exterior sliding. 
  • You can use 2×3 pressure lumber for the window. You’ll need a total of 4 boards, two of 3’-9″ and the other two of 3’-4″.

Step -7 cover your roof frame with plywood.

  • Get a ladder, a hammer, plywood, and some wooden screws.
  • For the roof sheathing, the measurements should be 9/16″. You should also have four sheets of 4’x6′-11″ and two of 2′-5 3/4″ x 6′-11″.
  • After placement, secure the plywood with 2″ flat head wood screws.
  • Now decorate your rooftop as you like to,  you can try rooftop shingles to give a fresh look to your rooftop.

  • Make the inner frame using 2×2 pressure treated material and secure it using a 3″ flat head wood screw.

  • Install the window by installing the two hinges (3″) with 6x 1″ wood screws.

  • Use a 9/16″ plywood sheet measuring to 2′-7 3/4″ x 5′-11 3/4″.
