Get step-by-step instructions on how to build your own gambrel roof storage shed.

 

This online guide will help you build an attractive 8'x8' gambrel roof storage shed or a similar shed in the size that you need.  The website presents step-by-step instructions, dozens of helpful photographs, building hints and safety tips. The sections on building shed doors and laying an asphalt tile roof are important for you to read. You'll also find a complete material shopping list and a list of the tools that you'll need.

 

The guide doesn't include actual building plans for the shed. Those would be helpful to show to your building department or community review board. Plans are also important references throughout the building process. However, a number of online retailers sell plans for similar sheds.

 

Backyard3.com offers inexpensive instant-download plans for their 8'x8' "Bonanza" shed. It's almost identical to the shed shown on the online guide and includes rafter cutting templates to make the work easier. They also offer the same design in fifteen larger sizes, up to 16'x24'.

 

StorageShed-Plans.com offers the similar "Barn Shed II" in sixteen sizes from 10'x10' to 16'x24'. Their plans also include cutting templates and are available instantly for printing from your computer's printer.
