This step by step diy project is about 14×14 lean to shed shed plans. I have designed this 14×14 lean to shed so you can store garden tools and even a lawn mower. This shed can be built in one week, but make sure you comply with the local codes. Invest in quality materials and select a proper location for the shed, for a professional result. . 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.

First of all, you need to build the floor frame for the 14×14 shed. Cut the joists from 2×6 lumber at the dimensions shown in the diagram. Lay the joists on a level surface and then align the edges flush. Make sure the corners are square and then drill pilot holes through the rim joists. Insert 3 1/2″ screws to lock the components together tightly.

Fitting the skids
