BASIC OVERVIEW AND DIMENSIONS

This 10 x 14 shed is quite spacious and exquisite, and can be used for storing your supplies, furniture and

even setting up your pool table. It has an overall height of 12 feet and 5 ½ inches including the roof and a

width of 10 feet and 1 inch. The width from the side is 14 feet and 1 inch. The total width of the roof is 15 feet

and 7 ½ inches. There is a huge door in front with 7 feet and 1 inch of height and 7 feet and 4 inches of width.

There is a small window with a width of 3 feet and height of 3 feet. The window and the door should be built

independently or should be purchased separately, and is not included in this shed plan. Follow the

manufacturer’s instructions to install the window and the door.

FOUNDATION AND FLOOR

The first step of building the shed is designing and assembling a solid foundation. The foundation should be strong

enough the support the entire shed structure, and therefore should be accurately designed without any gaps or weak

spots in the trusses. Use pressure heated timber and skids to create the 14 feet wide and 10 feet long foundation as

shown in the image. Use ¾ inches thick tongue and groove plywood for the floor. Make sure the skids and trusses are

spaced equally and are assembled to perfection.

2

NOTE

Buy per-designed joists and skids if you are new to building sheds. This way, you will reduce the chances of any complications in sizing and spacing.

WALL STRUCTURES

Once the foundation and floor are in place, the next step is to start working on the right and left wall. Both the walls

will have a width of 14 feet and a height of 7 feet and 6 inches. The right wall will have a 3 x 3 area designed for the

window installation. Once designed, install T1-11 siding on the walls with galvanized nails before installing the

window.

NOTE

Add self-adhering flashing on the bottom edges of the windows before installing T1-11.

WALL STRUCTURES

After the right and left wall, it’s time to create the front and back wall. The width of both the walls is 10 feet

from the top and 9 feet and 4 inches at the bottom. The height of both the walls should be 7 feet and 6

inches. Use pressure heated timber to construct the wall frames with plates, cripple studs, and L joints to

assemble the parts. Use 3/12 inches galvanized nails to attach the frames together. Once the structures are

built, use T1-11 on the walls with galvanized nails and exterior screws.

4

NOTE

Make sure the edges of T1-11 do not overlap each other as this will compromise the functioning and appearance of the T1-11.

ROOF SECTION

Once the wall structures are in place, you will start working on the roofing. The roof is the most complex

structure of the shed and will require additional help or pre-designed parts. Your roof needs to be well

assembled with no weak spots for water leakage. Start with constructing the trusses of the roof. Make

sure all the trusses are identical in shape. You will create 10 rafters each sides spread over a width of 14

feet 7 inches with equal space in between each as shown in the figure. Install T1-11 on the two outer most

trusses using galvanized nails.

NOTE

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully while installing the shingles. Get additional help for the roofing task to safely get the job done.
