The 14x16 storage shed plans include:

7'-7" OR 8'-1" wall height - The 8'-1" wall height lets you use 92-5/8" framing studs just like a home. The plans show how to cut at the lower 7'-7" wall height that makes it easier to frame and install siding on the shed.

Factory or Home Built Doors - Using a pre hung door makes the door building and hanging job much easier. The shed plans also include door plans if you prefer to build your own doors.

Multiple Door Options - Drawings explaining how to build the door on the end or sides of the shed.

Alternalte Options: There are two door options to build the 14x16 shed with the double doors on the gable end or the eve side.

Materials List: The 14x16 garden shed plans come with a complete materials list that is broken down by parts of the shed.

Floor = 2x6 floor joists at 16" on center with 3/4" floor sheathing.

Walls Framing: 2x4 framing at 16" on center with a double top plate, just like a home is framed.

Wall Height: The shed wall height is 8'-1" which is framed using a standard 92-5/8" wall stud.

Door: The door to be used is a factory built door on pre hung jamb. This door is easy to install and available at most home stores and door shops. You can install a single door or move the doors anywhere along the walls you choose.

Roof: The roof is framed using 2x4's to build rafter trusses. The plans include instructions to build the trusses using top and bottom chords and 1/2" O.S.B. gussets. It is sheeted with 1/2" O.S.B. (or 5/8 if you want to make it extra strong.) The plans give you the dimensions and cut angles so you can build the roof rafters on the ground and then put them up on the top plates.

Roof Overhang: 5-1/2" on the eves and 1" gable ends.

Roofing = 25 year asphalt shingles.

Siding = T1-11 siding or similar 4'x8' wood or cement panel siding is specified. This can be changed to use any siding you like.

Trim = 1x3 and 1x6 wood, masonite or cement trim materials are used to finish the corners, roof eves and facia, and door.

Roof Pitch: 4/12, this means that for every 4 inches of rise there is 12 inches of run horizontally.

Floor Load: 50 pounds per square foot for framed floors.

Roof Snow Load: 40 pounds per square foot. This is more than adequate for most areas. If you live in an area with a high snow load you should check with your local building department for your local snow load. Contact us and we can specify stronger roof framing.
