8×8 5 Sided Corner Shed – Free DIY Plans

This step by step diy woodworking project is about 8×8 5 sided corner shed plans. The project features 3D diagrams and detailed instructions for building a basic 8×8 storage shed that is ideal for any backyard. You can use the shed for storing your tools, lawn mower and other small items. The hip roof will add unique character to your garden shed and make it stand out. I’ve got you covered with everything you need to know for a successful project.

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.

How to build a 8×8 corner shed

Floor-frame-for-8×8-corner-shed

The first step of the project is to assemble the frame for the 8×8 shed. Use 2×6 lumber for the joists. Lay all the joists on a level surface and place them every 16″ on center. For the corner side, make 45 degree cuts at one end of the joists. Drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to assemble the frame. Use can use joist hanger to assemble the frame, as well.

Fitting the skids

Attach the 4×4 skids to the bottom of the frame. Use rafter ties and screws to lock the frame to the skids.

Fitting the floor sheets

Attach the 3/4″ plywood sheets to the floor frame. Align the edges with attention and insert 1 5/8″ screws to secure the sheets into place, every 8″ along the framing. Leave no gaps between the sheets for a professional result. Use a circular saw to make the cuts.

Front-wall-frame-8×8-corner-shed

Use 2×4 lumber for the corner front wall frame. Cut all the components, as shown in the diagram. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Make 45 degree cuts at both ends of the plates. Use 2×6 lumber for the double header. Fit a piece of 1/2″ plywood between the beams. Add glue and insert 2 1/2″ screws through both sides.

Front side wall frame

Frame the front side wall with window. Use 2×4 lumber for all the components and cut them as shown in the diagram. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Frame a window using 2×4 double headers. You can adjust the size of the window to suit your needs. This wall has a 24″x24″ window for reference.
