This step by step diy project is about 12×12 shed  door and trims plans. This is PART 3 of the 12×12 barn shed project, where I show you how to build the doors and attach the trim.  Generally speaking, the trims will enhance the look of the shed and add character to the project. Moreover, I have designed shed with many sizes so check them out, as well. 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.

Roof-trims
Build the trims for the 1×6 lumber. Cut both ends of the trims as shown in the plans. remember that you can easily add overhangs to the front and back of the shed, for appearance. Align the edges flush and insert 8d nails to lock the trims into place tightly.

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. In addition, cut a large piece for the top ridge. Fit the side drip edges over the roofing felt, while the bottom drip edges should be fit under. Read the instructions labeled on the asphalt shingle packs before installing them into place tightly. Start with the bottom left side of the roof and install them all the way to the top.
