The 8x8 corner storage shed plans include:

7'-7" or 8'-1" wall height - The 7'-7" wall height allows a pre-hung factory built door to go on any wall and reduces the amount of siding and labor needed to build the shed. The 8'-1" wall height lets you use 92-5/8" framing studs just like a home.

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.

3 Foundations - Treated Wood Skid, Concrete Slab and Poured Concrete.

NOTE: Due to the complicated nature of "stick framing" a hip roof system, the 5 sided shed roof is one of the most difficult roof styles to build. It is recommended that the builder be ready for a fun challenge or hire out the roof framing to an experienced framing carpenter. There will be mistakes made which will require additional 2x6 boards to be purchased to replace rafter boards that are cut incorrrectly.

Roof Pitch: 6/12 on the 4 side and rear roofs. Steeper on the front roof.

Trim: 1x4 wood, Masonite or cement trim materials are used to finish the corners, roof eves and facia.

Floor Load: 50 pounds per square foot for framed floors. This is the same floor load rating used in building homes.

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.
