10x12 Lean to Shed Roof Plans

This step by step diy project is about 10×12 shed roof plans. This is PART 2 of the storage shed project, where I show you how to build the lean to roof for the project. In addition, I show you how to build the door and how to fit the decorative trims. Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration. Remember that you need to select the site for the shed with attention and that you have to comply with a few legal regulations.

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.

How to build a lean to shed roof

Building-the-rafters

First, you need to build the rafters for the lean to shed. Therefore, mark the cut lines on the beams and then get the job done with a saw.

Fitting-the-shed-rafters

Fit the rafters to the top of the shed. Place the rafters equally spaced, every 24″ on center. Align the edges with attention and use rafter ties to lock the rafters into place tightly.

Side supports

Next, fit the 2×4 supports to the sides of the lean to shed roof. Cut the components at the right size and angle and then drill pocket holes at both ends of the supports. Lock the supports into place tightly with 2 1/2″ screws.

Side wall panels

Fit the T1-11 siding sheets to the sides of the shed. Mark the cut lines on the sheets and then get the job done with a saw. Align the edges with attention and then insert 6-8d nails, every 8″ along the framing. Leave no gaps between the sheets.

Roof sheets

Attach the 3/4″ plywood sheets to the top of the rafters. Align the edges with attention and leave no gaps between the sheets. Insert 1 5/8″ screws every 8″ along the framing.

Roof trims

Fit the 2×6 trims to the sides and to the back and front of the shed. Align the trims, drill pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock them into place tightly.

Fitting the roofing

Cover the roof with tar paper and then install the asphalt shingles. Make sure you also install the appropriate drip edges, so you can seal the shed roof. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for a tight fit.
