Shed Plans
« on: November 25, 2013, 18:14 »
Has anyone come across free plans for building a 12foot x 10foot wooden shed please? Pent or Apex style & tounge & groove cladding type

Ours has got to go and go quick. We understand it is close to 40 years old but has had a few new roofs and a few timbers into the walls. The door looks like it has been replaced at some time, as does sections of the floor. It currently has a plastic trays nailed together roof (Must be patented I would think)  tee hee  heee
It has character so would be sad to see it go but it doesn't stop wind weather or rain snow so the gear may as well be lying in the garden!
 :lol:
Hence you will appreciate the need for a new one

Thank You mumofstig for the lead

At first I thought they were all free but quickly realised it was only a 10 x 8 Pent shed single plan that was on a free offer.

Thanks again

The erection guide has lots of standard details and it's only a case of scale and size plus you have the existing one to look at. The main problems with most sheds is the lack of bracing and that after a few years they start to lean normally noticeable at the top of doors as a wedge shape gap appears at the top and the bottom starts to catch.

Then stepping at the ends of the T&G boarding at the ends as the lean one way or the other

Thank you for your advice.
The standards will be most useful plus the details given on corner joints and floor/wall fixings.
Afraid the old shed  would be no good as a guide as it is a Fred Carno's type construction with no bracing or tangible rafters. Surprised it has stood the weight of snow over the winters
