This step by step diy project is about simple 10×10 shed with hip roof plans. I have designed free plans for you to build this cute garden shed with a hip roof. This shed features a front door and a side window. If you want a shed with a hip roof to match your house design check out my free instructions. Make sure you read the local codes so you can comply with the legal requirements. Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration.
When buying the lumber, you should select the planks with great care, making sure they are straight and without any visible flaws (cracks, knots, twists, decay). Investing in cedar or other weather resistant lumber is a good idea, as it will pay off on the long run. Use a spirit level to plumb and align the components, before inserting the galvanized screws, otherwise the project won’t have a symmetrical look. If you have all the materials and tools required for the project, you could get the job done in about a day. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

10×10 Shed with a Hip Roof Plans
The first step of the project is to build the floor frame. Cut the joists from 2×6 lumber, as shown in the diagram. Drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws. Place the joists every 16″ on center and make sure the corners are square. Align the edges flush.
Fit 4×4 skids to the floor frame. Use rafter ties to secure the skids to the floor frame. The skids lifts the floor frame from the ground to protect it from moisture.
Use 3/4″ plywood sheets for the floor. Cut all the sheets at the right dimensions and then lay them on the floor frame. Align the edges flush and leave no gaps between the sheets. Drill pilot holes and insert 1 5/8″ screws every 8″ along the framing.
Â
Building the shed wall frames
Use 2×4 lumber for the plates and studs. Cut the components at the right dimensions, as shown in the plans. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Place the studs every 16″ on center. Use double studs at both ends of the wall frame. Frame the door opening and adjust the size to suit your needs. Use 2×6 lumber for the double header.
Next, frame the back wall for the 10×10 shed using 2×4 lumber. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Place the studs every 16″ on center.
Frame the plain side wall using the info in the diagram.
Frame the opposite side wall and include a window. You can adjust the size of the window to suit your needs. Use 2×6 lumber for the double plates.
Fit the wall frames to the floor of the shed. Align the edges flush and plumb the wall vertically. Drill pilot holes through the bottom plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the floor frame. In addition, lock the adjacent walls together tightly with 3 1/2″ screws. Make sure the corners are square.
Â
Fitting the siding sheets
Use 5/8″ siding T1-11 siding sheets for the exterior walls. Make cuts around the window opening and align the edges flush. Insert 8d nails, every 8″ along the framing.
Fit the siding sheets to the other side of the shed.
Make the cuts so you can fit the panels around the door opening. Align the edges flush and insert 8d nails, every 8″ along the framing.
