10×20 2 Stall Horse Barn Roof Plans

by Ovidiu

 

This step by step diy project is about 10×20 2 stall horse barn roof plans. This is PART 2 of the free 10×16 run in shed, where I show you how to build the saltbox roof. In addition, I show you how to fit the 1×10 boards to the sides of the horse shed. 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. See all my Premium Plans HERE.
