Cut the pieces to size using a table saw by supporting it with plywood. Use acrylic plastic for crafting the windows.
#Slant roof shed install#
Lastly, install asphalt shingles with roofing nails.

Afterward, install more drip edges across the front and side perimeter of the roof. Install a drip edge over the rear perimeter of the roof and then staple multiple layers of building paper over it. Use a drill to create pilot holes and avoid cracking the timber. Secure window screens on the inner side of the frames and then attach them with the rafters using two-inch deck screws. After this, toenail the remaining end of the rafter blocking to the adjacent rafter.Ĭreate 3 frames using 1×2 timber to fill the opening we left in the front wall. Secure the rafter blocking by driving 10d nails into the neighboring rafter. Then fasten galvanized hurricane straps to each rafter with joist hanger nails to provide further support. Toenail each rafter into place with 16d galvanized nails, as shown in the rafter framing diagram. The rear fascia will hold up the roof sheathing while the front fascia braces it.Īpply stain to all the blocking, fascia, trim, and rafters on all sides. There will be one template for the field rafters and another template for the end rafters.Ĭut the notches in the rafters with a jigsaw.Ĭraft the front and rear fascia from a 1×10 board. Cut them to size using a jigsaw.Ĭreate a speed square to create the rafter template as shown in the roof framing plan. Use chalk to trace the lengths of siding pieces that will need to be installed around the doors and windows. There may be gaps between the vertical seams of the panels, which can later be sealed with caulk. Nail at twelve-inch intervals over the studs. Use 6d nails to fasten the siding panels at intervals of 6 inches along the outer perimeter. Align and fasten each panel such that the lengthier seams are placed horizontal, and each upper piece covers the lower piece. These will brace the overhang of the roof along the wall.Ĭraft the siding panels to the required dimensions by cutting with a circular saw. Lastly, construct the front wall as shown in the diagram and fasten it to the side walls with nails.įasten 4×4 beams to the upper wall plates using framing nails. Verify that the outer wall edges are aligned with each other correctly.

Secure the rear wall with the side walls using 16d galvanized nails. Next, frame the side walls by marking the locations for the studs on the bottom plate. Then use 2×4 bracing to support it while you work on the remaining walls. Craft and hoist the rear wall into position such that the edges of the bottom plate are aligned with the sheathing on the floor.Ĭheck that the frame is perfectly plumb and level.
