How Do You Build A Slanted Roof Storage Shed?
A slanted roof needs similar construction methods as to that of a flat roof. However, the center panels that help to hold the roof up of the storage shed needs to be placed at a slight angle to create the slant. A slanted roof is good at helping rainwater flow down onto the ground rather than creating a puddle at the top that could create mould or stench problems.
Adding a storage-shed to your back yard or property can provide some much needed extra space. The slanted roof storage shed is an ideal and easy to build design for even beginning builders. This building design is for a 10-by-12 foot floor plan built using standard 2-by-4 wood studs, 3/4-inch thick vertical grooved siding and a standard 2-by-6 foot wood frame roof rafter frame to allow for a nice roof overhang. Level the area for the shed in excess of the size of the shed. In this design the area to be leveled and cleared should be 12-by-14 feet to give extra room for movement. Frame the floor structure on 16-inch centers using pressure treated 2-by-6 boards and 16 penny galvanized nails. The actual dimensions of the floor will define the outside dimensions of your shed so be careful here and plan ahead to determine final sizes. Attach the 3/4-inch CDX plywood to the floor frame. It will help ensure that all of the corners are square. Attach the plywood using 2-inch long exterior grade
