10x24 Run In Shed Plans - PDF Download

This step by step diy project is about free 10×24 run in shed plans with drawings. This is a run in shed that features a large opening to the front and a simple lean to roof. This is a sturdy shed that you can build in one week. Read the local codes before starting the project, so you comply with the legal requirements. 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 10×24 run in shed

Laying-out-the-posts-for-the-shed

The first step of the project is to layout the posts for the run in shed and to set them into place. Dig 3′ deep 12″ in diameter holes for the concrete footings. Set the concrete forms and then fill them with concrete. Set the post anchors, making sure they are aligned properly. After a few days, set the 4×4 posts into place with lag screws and temporarily braces,

Fitting the skids – run in shed

Use 4×4 skids between the posts. Drill pocket holes at both ends and insert 2 1/2″ screws to secure them to the posts (on both sides). Make sure the corners are square and align the edges flush.

Header – 16×24 run in shed

Use 2×10 beams and 1/2″ plywood to make the back wall headers. Use heavy duty glue and 2 1/2″ screws to assemble the beams.

Fitting the headers – 10×24 run in shed

Fit the beams to the top of the posts. Use connectors to secure the beams to the posts. Make sure the posts are plumb and check if the corners are square. Align everything with attention.

Side-wall-frame-for-10×24-run-in-shed

Next, you have to build the side wall frames from 2x4s. Cut the plates and the studs as shown in the diagram. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Place the studs every 16″ on center. Make sure the corners are square.

Back-wall-frame-10×24-shed

Assemble the two sections for the back wall using the info from the diagram and the techniques described above.

Front wall frame – 10×20 run in shed

Assemble the frames for the front wall. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Make sure the corners are square.

Front wall braces – 10×24 shed

Use 4×4 lumber for the front wall braces. Make 45 degree cuts to both ends of the braces and fit them to the front of the wall. Drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to secure the braces into place.

Front wall siding sheets - 10x24 run in shed

Front wall siding sheets – 10×24 run in shed

Cut and fit the T1-11 siding sheets to the front of the shed, as shown in the plans. Cut the sheets at the right dimensions and then attach them to the framing with 6d nails, every 8″ along the studs and plates.

Back wall siding sheets - 10x24 run in shed

Back wall siding sheets – 10×24 run in shed

Fit the 5/8″ siding sheets to the back of the shed. Align the edges with attention and leave no gaps between them for a professional result. Use 6d nails, every 8″ along the framing, to secure the sheets into place tightly.
