For me, the ideas in ru-vid.comUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
My 17 yr old has been taking a high school home maintenance class for 1.5 years. We have a steel frame shed with no floor and we will be tackling this soon since schools are closed in Ohio for 3 weeks. Perfect time for putting skills to the test.
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is an awesome exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical success with it.?
I am not roofing specialist i never knew how roofed building in USA, i have seen many tutorials before of this particular sector of carpentry i can say now i can cut a rafter with the best precize ever. Thanks for thiw tutorial, i like it.
I thank you for showing us beginners how to build the rafters. I like the way you do each piece at a time and then using that piece to make the remaining pieces.
I'm going to show you exactly how to start building wooden sheds and woodwork projects easily, so that you're fully up and running, creating remarkable outdoor garden sheds and woodwork projects for your loved ones within days from now. Click here ==> *WoodBlueprints. Com*
thank you for showing how easy it is. This will save lots of money not having to buy prepared pieces or hiring people now I can do it for myself!! thank you !!!
Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted
Hey, I'm going to build a 10 x 12 shed soon. I have a question, can I use this same rafter method for a 10 x 12 shed? I would also have a longer over hang because I like it better. The over hang in this video is way to short for me. So, can I use the 4/12 pitch for my shed? Also, I might go with this wood floor also, can you paint this type of wood floor?
Your shed looks great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I built an 8x10 shed for my kids in my backyard earlier this year using plans I got from *WoodBlueprints. Com* Clear directions and an accurate materials list...It was great for a novice builder like myself!
Our fourth video in the How To Build A Shed Series shows you how to build rafters for your storage shed roof. In it we teach you how to measure, mark and cut the rafter birds mouth, seat and ridge cuts. You will also learn how to construct a jig on the shed floor so that every rafter you build is the same size as the others. Building a shed roof is easy if you follow the right steps. Check out this video, and the others in the how to build a shed series, to learn how to build a shed roof and all the other parts of your backyard shed!
+William Disterdick Yes that is correct. The ends have gussets on the inside so that the siding will not hit it. The siding acts as the gusset for the two gable rafters.

I purchased your plans for the 8x12 shed and I'm building the shed on the a concrete slab. What do I use as a jig for building the rafters, here you used the shed floor.
Currently building this shed with the plans. Was having problems getting subsequent rafters to fit in the jig after making the first set. Come to find out, instead of the 2x4 being the expected 1-1/2”x3-1/2” I have some boards that are 3-1/2 and two eights wide. So the width being off is screwing up the location of the bird mouth cut. Any suggestions on how to adjust for this? Should I just keep the bird mouth cut flush with the floor edge and just trim off the very top of the rafter that is a little taller? Or should I make sure the top is aligned with the others and shave off 2/8th of an inch more of the birds mouth? OR...take this crappy lumber back to Lowe’s and inspect every single board for perfect measurements in addition to being straight? 🙄
Issue common people are asking example, [What is needed for a 10ft wide by 20ft long by 9ft tall shed?] Is there a program that can tell you yet? Or is it always buy this and by that then I might tell you? I would love to finish your series! Just wanted you to know what most ask about. Not meant to insult.
This is just superb, been searching for "what is a barn style roof called?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Beybigail Nonpareil Breakthrough - (do a search on google ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to create better sheds and improve your woodworking without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
No worries at all! My Shed Plans brings me up to speed with professional tips and tricks used by the pros [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It really let me learn how to handle carpenter equipment, follow the right safety rules, and how to do yo.ur projects professionally so that they will look good and last!
Nice vid, what size 2x's were those? 4 or 6. I'm building a free standing roof over my shed which are 2 8x20 trailers. I want to pour footings then use 2x4 posts, string them together then use a roof design like this. That way when the trailers finally rot out I can tear them out from within and construct the rest of the wood shed underneath. Would a design like this work in an area that gets winter snow? Thinking of weight. Are there designs anywhere on how to figure out the pitch and where to cut those notches? Thanks
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
hi i want to add a lean too on my dads existing shed and have watched your video for cutting the seat and mouth. what is the 4/12 pitch and does the angle you cut at the top dictate the angle for the mouth. for instance if you cut an 18 deg top will the mouth angle be 18 deg too. also from the mouth to the seat is that the thichkness of the wall cross member. hope you can help and great videos
Hi, The pitch is defined by how many inches the roof slope rises up for every 12 inches measured horizontally. a 4 in 12 pitch is 18.5 degrees. Yes both rafter seats and birds mouths will have the same angle.
2 questions 1. How to you determine the seat length ( and depth of birds' mouth) if you're not working off plans. (or better just need to understand how to determine the seat length/ BM depth? 2. why are the eave ends uncut and not angled to come out vertical on final installation ? Thanks for the instruction on the speed square.
+Kevin Ashby The seat length we used is the dimension of the top plate plus a half inch for the siding. The birdsmouth is whatever it takes to get to the seat cut. It must be the camera angle, the eve ends are square with the rafters, they are not vertical. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this [ Check Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!?

Not questioning what you have but I would have used 2x6 for roof rafters or at a minimum installed a collar tie to these. Takes a bit more time and costs a bit more but after spending all that time building your shed why risk roof sag. Still great video
Michael Skehan Good point. These roofs are rated for 40lbs. If you have a higher snow load it is a good idea to use 2x6 boards and 5/8" roof sheeting. All of our sheds that are 10' and wider have king posts in the center. Thanks.
would it not make more sense to cut the angles out the opposite way? so it will be pushing against the wall and no risk of slipping off? although that may cause the rafters to push out the walls of the shed
The rafter seat cuts should push down on the top of the shed wall. Like most other things on the shed if it is nailed properly it will not be able to move. Thanks for watching!
My best tips. Move the smoke alarm to the bedroom. The number one death trap is the cellular phone charger at your bedside. By the time the smoke reaches other rooms abd other alarms you are already dead and sleeping. The 2nd best thing is to always sleep with an open bedroom door so that smoke can pass easily into other rooms before the smoje layers reach sleeping hight.
Good video. Should have gotten close ups of the speed square and the markings mentioned. That's the biggest part is working that square properly. Do it wrong and the whole project gets messed up.

Guys I am learning woodworking shed plans at NewShedPlans45.blogspot.com I recommend this website all you guys who are beginner or advance in woodworking
Steeper helps to shed snow, especially when metal roofing is installed. But you can beef up the rafter sizes and sheeting thickness to hold heavier show loads on the shed roof as well.
I've always tried to figure out how to build a shed for my kids. I tried several plans but always got stuck along the way. I'm glad I found this Ryan's shed plans [ Go Here >>> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It has made the work become as easy and simple as I never thought it will be. Thank you Ryan!?
Thank you for sharing, I have two questions please. Why are the trusses 24" on centre? And why is there no horizontal 2x4 stretching from one side to the other along the bottom for strength? My shed will be 9' wide. I'd like to build the truss the same as you did Thanks Darrell
Using 2x4's and 7/16" O.S.B. gives the roof a certain strength rating. Moving them closer together increases the strength rating. Also, using a thicker O.S.B. will further increase the rating. The horizontal board is called a bottom chord. It is used on our 10' and wider sheds. The bottom chord keeps the walls from being pushed out. Smaller shed roofs have less of an area so the total weights are less and therefore they are less likely to have the walls move. If you are building in a an area with heavier live loads, like snow, which take the p.s.f. loading over 40lbs. psf. you should use a bottom chord and or larger rafter sizes.
I am building small cabin on a trailer frame. the dimensions are 57" wide and 10' long. I have the studs the standard 16" apart with the ends doubled, so 11 studs on either side.My question is, is it required to have a rafter for each stud? Or could I get away with doing something like every other one or something like that?
JarJarJarvis No need for a rafter every stud as long as you have a double top plate on top of the wall. Rafters are typically spaced 24 inches o.c. If you space the wall studs at 24" o.c. or use a single top plate then you should put the rafters over the studs.
the easiest method for building roof rafters on your shed is with *SecretShedPlans. com* The method they use for some of the prints is awsome and the pattern turns out great.
I agree on the ply, although I think OSB is strong enough for a small shed roof, especially if you have little to no slow-load. Nails are better than screws though--screws are usually more brittle and break, leading to more failures than nails, which have some natural "give" to them.
+lorenzo santillan The roof pitch for 6 in 12 is 26.57 degrees. If you order our plans we will send you the roof rafter drawings for any of the major roof pitches 2:12, 4:12, 5:12, 6:12, 8:12
Sorry if I'm missing this somewhere, but you jump over the way to determine the overall length of the rafter. You show measuring it, but don't say how to get that measurement. Thanks!
@@icreatablestv What you really mean is you won't say because you want him to purchase your plans. You already mentioned what your pitch was in the video. I would assume he is using the same pitch. Why not just give the guy the measurements.
I don't understand the part where it says measure the eve end of the rafter board to the long point? Sorry I am new to this, but I have gain a lot from your videos.
Thanh Ha The eve end of the rafter is the lower end. It means to measure along the top edge of the rafter from the upper corner of the lower end cut off to the long point on the ridge cut. When you cut a 2x4 or 2x6 board at an angle you will have a long point and a short point on the end of the board. The point can also be called a corner.
Jigsaw won't give you nearly a clean enough cut. That's really thick stock for a jigsaw to begin with, but it's imperative that your seat cut be square to the stock so that it sits on the top plate without limiting bearing surface in the bird's mouth.
David Pierson The birds mouth allows the rafter tail to keep its full dimension, ie 3 1/2" thickness. The rafter seat distributes the weight of the rafter on the top of the wall.
I would not use OSB, but plywood. It is not a significant amount of wood, and plywood is more trustworthy under tension, since the wood layers in plywood that would be horizontal are continuous wood layers, not relying on the tensile strength of the glue in OSB. Just my opinion. Never liked OSB except as a cheap-out.
You got a great sense of humor. If it isn't fun, it should be funny. Im an old seasoned carpenter and I love this stuff. Great tips and practical advice. Some of us wish we would've paid attention on career day, some just love what we do! I just love it. Thanks
+iCreatables yes ! at the time of watching this video I did not know this , " lol" and maybe that's the reason for my sarcasm , sorry ! but because of this video I came to the conclusion the birds mouth is cut as same as the roof , thanks and sorry for the sarcasm " to days trying to get the cuts right , guess I was just about to give up :) thanks again .

The Seat Cut and Birdsmouth will be cut to the angle you want the roof to be. It changes with the roof angle. You can do an internet search for "Roof Pitch Angles" to see a diagram of the different pitches. You will just use the angle/pitch mark on the speed square to cut a different angle.
iCreatables I used to know this but it's been so long since I'v did a roof , kind of just want out of my head , hay I'ed love to show you what I made ! its on my channel , one is a small shed i made into a jym the other was a new home for my sister in laws son , he turned 18 and I guess he wanted his own place , so out his backyard he moved , 'lol' my first time building something like that ya have time go see :)
@@icreatablestv Thanks I thought it was to allow the siding to slide up into the birds nest. My siding is 3/8" so hoping it will work that way for me and still give me an 1/8" of play. I'm building my shed as we speak the rafters and gussets have been built as per your instructions, thanks again for your video.
+Serena Munoz The easiest way to do it is to draw the tops of the two walls on the floor, the same distance from each other and showing the height difference. Then use a straight board and draw the rafter. Take the measurements from the drawing and transfer it to a board and cut out your rafter. Our plans show full sized templates for the rafters in our plans. You can view plans for this and other sheds at iCreatables.com www.icreatables.com/sheds/shed-plans.html
