This step by step diy project is about carport with storage plans. This is PART 2 of the carport with storage project, where I show you how to attach the roofing sheets and how to take care of the finishing details in a neat manner. 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 roof for a carport with storage
Building-the-rafters
Build the rafters for the roof of the carport from 2×6 lumber. Make 35 degree cuts to both ends of the beam.
Assembling-the-trusses
Lay the rafters on a level surface, so you can assemble the trusses. Make 55 degree cuts to both ends of the bottom rafters. Leave no gaps between the joints.
Fitting-the-gussets
Use 1/2″ plywood to lock the rafters together tightly. Insert 1 1/4″ screws to secure the gussets to the rafters.
Fitting-the-trusses
Fit the trusses to the top of the carport, every 24″ on center. Use a spirit level to plumb the trusses and then secure them to the plates with metal connectors.
Fitting-the-gable-end-supports
Attach 2×4 supports to the front and the back of the trusses, so you attach the siding panels.
Fitting-the-gable-ends
Cut the T1-11 siding panels and them secure them to the supports with 4d nails.
Assembling-the-overhangs
Build the overhangs for the carport. You can easily adjust the width of the overhangs to suit your needs. Drill pilot holes through the rafters and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the blockings.
Fitting-the-overhangs
Fit the overhangs to the carport, as shown in the plans. Drill pilot holes and secure the overhangs into place with 2 1/2″ screws.
Attaching-the-roofing-sheets
Attach the 3/4″ plywood sheets to the roof. Cut the panels at the dimensions indicated in the plans and then secure them to the rafters with 1 5/8″ screws, every 8″. Leave no gaps between the sheets for a professional result.
Fitting-the-end-trims
Build the end trims from 1×6 lumber. Cut both ends of the trims at 55″ degrees, by making 35 degree cuts.
Fitting-the-trims
Attach 1×6 trims to the sides of the carport. Use 1 1/2″ brad nails to secure the trims into place easily.
Fitting-the-roofing
Cover the roof of the shed with roofing felt, making sure the strips overlap at least 2″. Secure the tar paper to the plywood sheets with roofing staples. Fit the side drip edges over the roofing felt, while the bottom drip edges should be fit under. Afterwards, attach the asphalt shingles to the roof, starting with the left bottom side of the roof. Read the manufacturer’s instructions to understand how to install the shingles into place properly.
Fitting-the-jambs
Attach 1×4 slats around the opening and secure them into place with 2 1/2″ screws.
Building-the-storage-unit-door
Build the door opening from 5/8″ siding. Attach the 1×4 trims to the panel and secure them into place with glue and 1 1/4″ screws.
Fitting-the-door
Fit the doors into the opening and then use hinges and a latch to lock everything together tightly.
Carport-with-storage-front-view
Take care of the finishing touches. Apply a few coats of paint or stain to enhance the look of the carport and to get the job done in a professional result.
Carport-with-storage-back-view
