Free Run In Shed Plans

This step by step diy project is about free run in shed plans. This loafing shed is very versatile, as it can shelter your ATV, your tools or even outdoor furniture. The best part of the project is that you can get the job done in a few days without much trouble. 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.

Building a run in shed

Building-the-base-beams

Build the beams for the base of the shed using 4×4 lumber. Cut both ends of the beams, as shown in the diagram. Make parallel cuts to the indicated areas and then remove the excess with a chisel. Smooth the surface with sandpaper.

Assembling-the-base

Assemble the base for the shed using 3 1/2″ screws. Make sure the corners are square, drill pilot holes and then insert the screws to lock the base beams together tightly.

Building-the-back-wall-frame

Assemble the back wall from 2×4 lumber. Cut all the components at the right dimensions, after taking accurate measurements. Make sure the edges are flush and check if the corners are square. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the studs.

Building-the-side-walls

Build the side walls for the run in shed. Cut the components at the right dimensions and then assemble the frames using the same techniques described above.

Assembling-the-walls

Attach the walls to the base with 2 1/2″ screws. Drill pilot holes through the bottom plates and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the base beams.

Fitting-the-side-walls

Attach the 5/8″ siding panels to the sides of the run in shed using 4d nails. Align the sheets flush with the top plates and then insert the nails to secure the sheets into place. Leave no gaps between the components for a professional result.

Fitting-the-back-wall

Attach the siding panels to the back wall, as well, in the same manner described in the diagram. Align the edges flush and secure them into place with 4d nails.

Fitting-the-front-wall-supports

Attach the front wall supports. As you can easily notice in the plans, the vertical supports are made of 2x6s, while the top support is a 2×8 beam. Make sure the vertical supports are vertical and check if the corners are right-angled. Use metal plates and screws to lock the components together tightly, after aligning the edges flush.
