10x14 Shed with Side Porch Plans

This step by step diy project is about 10×14 shed with side porch plans. This unique shed will add charm to your backyard, while being the perfect space to store tools and shelter a bike or an ATV. This shed has a roomy covered porch and doors on the front and on the side, so you can have an easy access inside. 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.

How to build a 10×14 shed with porch

10×14-shed-floor-frame

The first step of the project is to build the floor frame. Cut the components from 2×6 lumber, as shown in the diagram. Place the joists every 16″ on center, for a professional result. Check if the corners are are square, drill pilot holes through the rim joists and insert 3 1/2″ screws.

Fitting the skids

Select the location for the shed and level the surface thoroughly. Remove the vegetation layer and make sure you comply with the local building codes. Fit the skids on the location, equally spaced. Place the floor frame and then use rafter ties to lock the skids to the frame. Align the edges with attention flush for a professional result and insert the screws. The skids will lift the floor a few inches from the ground and protect the components from moisture.

Floor sheets

Fit the 3/4″ plywood sheets to the floor frame and align the edges with attention. Insert 1 5/8″ screws every 8″ along the joists. Leave no gaps between the sheets for a professional result. Use tongue and groove sheets for the best results.

Side wall frame

Build the plain side wall of the shed from 2×4 lumber. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Align the edges and make sure the corners are square. Alternatively, you could use framing nails and a framing gun.

Side-wall-with-door

Build the opposite side wall from 2×4 lumber as well. As you can easily notice in the diagram, you need to leave an opening for the double 6′ doors. Cut the components at the right dimensions and then secure them together with 3 1/2″ screws. Make sure the corners are square and align the edges flush. Use 2×6 lumber and 1/2″ plywood for the double headers. Fit the double header into place tightly and leave no gaps between the components.

Front-wall-frame

Continue the project by assembling the front wall frame. Use 2×4 lumber for the front wall frame. Use 2×6 lumber and 1/2″ plywood for the double door header. Use 1/2″ plywood and 2×6 beams and 1/2″ plywood for the window headers. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Make sure the corners are square and align the edges flush. You can adjust the size of the door and window openings to suit your needs.

Back wall frame

Build the back wall for the shed using the same techniques described above and the information from the diagram. Cut the studs and then the plates from 2×4 lumber. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Place the studs every 24″ on center for a professional result.

Assembling the shed frame

Fit the wall frames to the floor of the shed. Align the edges with attention and plumb the walls with a spirit level. Drill pilot holes through the bottom plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the floor. Lock the adjacent walls together tightly using 3 1/2″ screws.

Side wall with door siding sheets

Fit the T1-11 siding sheets to the side wall with doors. Mark the cut lines on the sheets and then get the job done with a circular saw. Align the edges with attention and insert 6-8d nails, every 8″ along the framing.

Side wall siding sheets

Fit the siding panels to the opposite side wall of the shed, as show in the diagram. Leave no gaps between the sheets and align everything with attention. Insert the nails so you can lock the sheets into place tightly.

Front wall siding sheets

Fit the siding sheets to the front wall of the shed. Make cuts so you can fit the sheets around the door opening and around the window opening.

Back wall siding sheets

Fit the siding to the back wall of the shed, in the same manner described above.

Fitting the support posts

Fit 4×4 posts so you can frame the porch of the shed. You need to pour 3′ footings and then use anchors to lock the posts into place. Use a spirit level to plumb the posts and then fit the top beam, as show in the diagram. Use metal connectors to secure the beam to the top of the posts.
