The 5x12 storage shed plans include:

• Multiple Door Options - Plans to build the door(s) on any of the walls are included.
• 2 Foundations - Pressure treated wood joists sit directly on a bed of gravel or the walls can be framed on a concrete slab. The concrete slab option will make the shed about 6 inches shorter.

5x12 Lean To Shed Plans Include The Following

• Foundation: Wood Joists on Gravel bed or Concrete slab.
• Floor: 2x6 treated floor joists 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 front wall height is 4'-2" above the floor level for the short wall and 4'-111/2" for the taller wall
• Door: 3'-10-1/2" x 3'-10-1/2" doors are built using sandwich construction for strength and durability. Plans are provided to build the door on the end of the shed or two doors on the front of the shed. Our door plan shows you how to build a shed door that will outlive the shed. The shed door is built using a 2x4 inner frame faced on the inside with 1/2" O.S.B. and on the outside there is a layer of T-111 to match the rest of the shed. We use 3 hinges on the doors and the screws go into the inner 2x4 frame of the door to give extra strength.
• Siding: T-111 exterior siding. Other sidings such as vinyl may be used.
• Roof = The roof is framed using 2x4's to build the rafters. It is sheeted with 7/16" O.S.B. 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 Pitch: 4/12, this means that for every 4 inches of rise there is 12 inches of run horizontally.
• Roof Overhang: 4" on the front and back. 1" on the sides.
• Roofing = Asphalt roll roofing is specified for the low slope roof. Any low slope roofing may be used. Check with your local roofing supplier for suggestions for low slope roof applications.
• Trim = 1x4 wood, masonite or cement trim materials are used to finish the corners, roof eves, facia, and door.
