Instructions
A note before starting -
Please understand - the below diagrams are genuinely and carefully designed to help you navigate the build process. However, we don’t include specific recommendations for which tools, hardware, or products to use. These truly are “DIY” designs.
As such – a significant portion of the build-process will be up to you, the builder. So please know, there is no “right” or “wrong” way to assemble any of our designs! If you need to depart from the instructions, or rearrange things along the way, feel free to.
The only thing we ask: please be safe! And of course, there’s no shame in asking an expert for help or seeking guidance from your local professionals at any time.
And please: enjoy the process!
Step 1: Creating the Frame
In this initial step, we will organize a frame to which the vertical posts will be attached. To proceed with this stage of the construction process, gather the following materials:
Begin by arranging the 75.25-inch and 85.75-inch profiles on the floor, following the diagram provided. Keep in mind the orientation of the front and back of your shed as you position these profiles.
Next, fix the four 86.5-inch posts to the front of the frame. These posts will provide support and stability to the front section of your shed. Then, vertically attach the two 65.75-inch posts to the back of the frame. These posts will serve as the vertical supports at the back of your shed.
By carefully following these instructions and assembling the frame accordingly, you will establish a solid foundation for the construction of your shed. This frame will serve as the backbone of your structure, ensuring stability and durability throughout the building process.
Step 2: Roof and Facade Structure
In this step, we will focus on two crucial parts of our shed: the roof structure and the main facade structure. Follow these instructions carefully for each component.
Roof Structure:To construct the roof structure, gather the following materials:
Begin by placing the 77.25-inch profiles on the 2x4 posts. Once positioned, secure the profiles in place with the bird's eye cut on them. These angled cuts will help create the desired roof pitch and add structural stability to your shed.
Facade Structure:For the facade part of your shed, you will need the following materials:
First, place the 30.25-inch profile at the top between the intermediate posts, positioned at a height of 80 inches above the lower profile. This profile will form the top beam of the facade structure. Then, fix the four 16.5-inch profiles to create openings for windows or other desired features on your shed's facade.
By following these instructions, you will successfully construct both the roof structure and the main facade structure of your shed. These elements play a crucial role in providing support, stability, and aesthetic appeal to your shed's design.
