3×10 Wood Storage Shed Plans – Part 2

by Ovidiu

 

This step by step diy project is about 3×10 1 cord firewood shed roof plans. This is PART 2 of the 1 cord firewood shed project, where I show you how to build lean to roof and how to attach the trims. See the rest of my firewood shed free plans HERE. Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration. Premium Plans for this project available in the Shop.

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.

How to build a 3×6 wood shed roof

Rafters

Rafters

Use 2×4 lumber for the rafters. Mark the cut lines on the beams and then get the job done with a circular saw. Smooth the edges flush. You need the birdsmouth cuts to lock the rafters into place easily.

Fitting-the-rafters

Fitting-the-rafters

Fit the rafters to the support beams. Place the supports every 24″ on center. Use rafter ties and 1 1/2″ structural screws to secure the rafters into place tightly.

Roof-trims

Roof-trims

Attach the 1×4 trims to the front and to the back of the shed roof. Align the edges flush, drill pilot holes and insert 1 5/8″ screws, to lock them into place tightly.

Fitting-the-purlins

Fitting-the-purlins

Fit the 1×4 purlins to the top of the shed. Place the purlins equally spaced, as shown in the diagram. Use 1 5/8″ screws to secure the slats to the rafters, after drilling pilot holes.

Fitting-the-roof-sheets

Next, attach the metal roof sheets to the top of the firewood shed. Align the edges and secure the sheets to the purlins with 3/4″ roofing screws, or the size recommended for the roofing sheets you get. Install the drip edges, as well, on all 4 sides.

Last but not least, you need to take care of the finishing touches. Fill the holes with wood putty and smooth the surface with 120-220 grit sandpaper. Apply a few coats of paint or stain to enhance the look of the shed and to protect the components from the elements.
