4×16 Lean to Shed Plans

This step by step diy project is about 4×16 storage shed plans. I have designed this narrow shed with a lean to roof so you can store tools and other items efficiently. This shed features two pairs of double doors on the front. Make sure you check the local building codes and make adjustments to comply with the local regulations. 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.

Building a 4×16 shed with a lean to roof

Building-the-floor-frame

First of all, you need to build the floor frame for the 4×16 shed. Cut the joists from 2×6 lumber at the dimensions shown in the diagram. Drill pilot holes through the rim joists and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the perpendicular components. Make sure the corners are square and align the edges with attention.

Fitting the skids

Select the location for the shed and then remove the vegetation layer. Level the surface and fit the 4×4 skids. Lay the floor frame and secure it to the skids with rafter ties.

Fitting the floor sheets

Fit 3/4″ plywood sheets to the floor frame and align the edges flush. Insert 1 5/8″ screws every 8″ along the framing.

Front-wall-frame

Use 2×4 lumber for the plates and studs. Use 2×6 lumber and 1/2″ plywood for the double headers. Make sure you adjust the size of the doors to suit your needs. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Make sure the corners are square.

Back-wall-frame

Build the back wall from 2×4 lumber. Place the studs every 16″ on center.

Top back wall frame

Build the top back wall frame from 2×4 lumber. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs.

Side-wall-frame

Build the side walls for the shed.

Assembling the shed frame

Fit the wall frames to the floor and align the edges flush. Plumb the walls with a spirit level and drill pilot holes through the bottom plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws.

Back wall panels

Fit T1-11 siding sheets to the back of the shed. Align the edges with attention and insert 6-8d nails, every 8″ along the framing. Leave no gaps between sheets for a professional result.

Fitting the side panels

Fit the T1-11 siding panels to the sides of the shed. Use 6-8d nails to secure the sheets to the framing, every 8″.

Front wall panels

Make cuts to the front panels, so you can fit them around the door openings.
