14×14 Lean to Shed Plans

by Ovidiu

 

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.

14×14 Lean to Shed Plans

Building-the-shed-floor-frame

Building-the-shed-floor-frame

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

Fitting the skids

Select the location for the shed, making sure you comply with the local codes. Level the surface with attention and then fit the 4×4 skids. Lay the floor frame and then use rafter ties to lock the components together tightly.

Floor sheets

Floor sheets

Lay the 3/4″ plywood sheets to the floor frame. Align the edges flush and leave no gaps between the components. Insert 1 5/8″ screws, every 8″ along the framing. Make cuts to the 24″ plywood sheets.

Plain-side-wall-frame

Plain-side-wall-frame

Continue the projects by assembling the plain side wall. Cut all the components at the right dimensions and then lay them on a level surface. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Place the studs every 16″ on center and make sure the corners are square.

Side-wall-frame-with-door-and-window

Use 2×4 lumber for the other side wall frame, as well. Cut the components at the right dimensions, as shown in the diagram. Moreover, use 2×6 lumber and 1/2″ plywood for the double headers. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws to secure the studs. You can adjust the size of the man door opening, to suit your needs.

Front-wall-frame

Next, you need to frame the front wall for the 14×14 lean to shed. Cut the components at the right dimensions and then assemble them together with 3 1/2″ screws. You need to adjust the size of the opening to suit your needs. Use 2×6 lumber and 1/2″ plywood for the double header.

Back wall frame

Fit the wall frames to the floor of the shed and align the edges flush. Drill pilot holes through the bottom plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the floor. Make sure the corners are square and reinforce the adjacent walls with 2 1/2″ screws.

Front wall siding panels
