The 5x12 storage shed plans include:
Home Built Doors - 5'-6" wide home built double doors.
These are the basic materials used to build the 5x12 lean to shed. Materials such as vinyl siding or a pre-hung door can be substituted to change the look or functionality of the shed but will increase the cost.
Foundation = Wood skid or concrete slab foundations are included with the shed plans.
Floor = 2x6 floor joists with 3/4" floor sheathing.
Walls = 2x4 framing at 16" on center with a double top plate, just like a home is framed. The shed wall height is 6'-5" for the short wall and 7'-11 3/4" for the taller wall.
Door = The double 2'-9" x 5'-10 1/2" doors are built using sandwich construction for strength and durability. The optional 3'-10" x 5'-10 1/2" end door plan is included.
Roof = The roof is framed using 2x4's to build rafter trusses. It is sheeted with 1/2" O.S.B. (or 5/8 if you want to make it extra strong.)
Roofing = 25 year asphalt shingles
Siding = T1-11 siding or similar 4'x8' wood or cement panel siding is specified but you can use any siding you like.
Trim = 1x3 and 1x6 wood, masonite or cement trim materials are used to finish the corners, roof eves and fascia, and door.
