For me, the ideas in ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP 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.
Just getting ready to do a small lean to off my carport, (16x8 ). I would love to help you if I were your neighbor. I could learn so much at my 67 years young age !! I used to move around like a squirrel on a roof when I was younger. Now I know I just don't bounce well anymore, so I don't risk it as much !! Only when I NEED to ....You take care and keep these great videos coming ! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us !!
I'm 73, so I know what you mean. Seems like every person at the nursing home tells a story with the words: "then after I fell down." I keep everything in my shop at a perfect working level, but with my outdoor jobs it's a different story. And then add ladders and a little dew on that new tin roof, and I'm stranded in a jungle at night, unarmed, alone, and waiting my fate. Good luck with your shed. Think I'd go a little wider, if you have the room. And thanks for the kind words.
I used your template to build a 14x18 lean to this past weekend. It is solid as a rock. Thank you for your informative and thorough videos. Would love to send you a picture of the finished project.
Send me a picture at henri_chase@sccoast.net If you send it I will try to show it on my channel and give you a shout out. My real name, and it is no secrete, is Henri Chase. Sorry about the delay. Getting a lot of comments these days.
Thank You Much, for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with those of us who lack it. god bless you good sir stay safe working by yourself and be careful
First time watcher and learn some tricks. Liked the stick for 5 4 3 rule ans spacing!! Will watch more! Thanka for taking the time to make these videos!
I have watched this vid several times and hope to do a shed roof on one side of something. I just love your shop it is like the best shop ever. great work
Wow, that old guy can still get around real good. I don't think I trust myself on a ladder and roof like that. Other wise I can do this and I may try this next spring on my front porch. Nice work.
Technically it's doable, as the hard part is the physical effort involved with building decks, shed roofs, and fences. Then throw in the ladder part, and better get a young fella to help. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It certainly has been a shed roof frenzy but I'm sure you'll be glad you built them. I was thinking about the side of the building that doesn't have one. :D
I have thought about building a storage shed, under a shed roof on the North Side. I could then turn that North facing window into a door and have a huge storage back room. Better do it soon, while I still have enough lead in my pencil. Yep, I'm real glad I built them. Sat out under them yesterday during a thunderstorm, and it was great. Nothing like the sound of rain on a tin roof. But the biggest thing is that all my doors are sheltered from the weather; I can leave my doors open during a thunderstorm; the Sun no longer turns my South facing bay doors into giant radiators. Behind on woodworking projects, so it's back to the shop starting on Sunday. Hope to see you then.
You did a nice job and I have learned some tricks too. I want to build the same type of roof on the back side of my shop for lumber storage. This is not ideal for my better woods but I have no room inside my 10'x16' shop. The wood considered exotic like Purple Heart I get is smaller quantities and did leave a place in the loft for those. I think that I will enclose the two ends and maybe that will help to keep the boards from warping. Any suggestions for lumber storage is greatly appreciated. Oh and any tips on constructing this alone, lol. Thanks for your channel. It reminds me of when I was a child and instead of playing with the other kids or my dolls, I was inside of Pops (Grandfather) workshop learning about woodworking. My grandfather instilled in me the love of woodworking and DIY projects. I just remembered a question I have. Do you think that using clear roofing panels will help keep the wood to stay dry or should I use the type of panels you used?
I work alone, as I work very slow. If you work alone, then take it easy; never make a mistake in a hurry. However, never work alone on a project like this (as I just did) because you would be totally helpless in case of emergency. Fall from a ladder, for example, and you are toast. A single clear panel makes sense for light, but not the whole roof. Put a tin roof on the south or west side of your building an you will have a kiln.
Seems like every person in the nursing home has a different story, but each of those stories starts with "Well, after I had my fall....." Yep, my fear of heights is real, but has been acquired over the years, a fear I now call wisdom. Thanks for the kind words, and hope to see you around the channel. No more shed roofs for a while; it's back to woodworking.
That is the best way, but I copied a proven design from my youth. If I was a young guy doing this as a job, then I'd never build a shed roof this way. I agree on the overkill. Since I was never totally sold on this design, I added the overkill to sooth my nerves.
I follow your design, but using 9x2 inch rafters since slope of roof is 18ft. Which brackets should I use ? Are your purlins 4x2 inch ? Could I use 3x1 inch instead to reduce weight ? Great video.thanks for sharing.
If there was too much overhang why not push the panel further to the right? It has to overlap anyways, what would it hurt if you did that? This knowledge I need for my project. Thanks again!
Nice video, I’m building a 12x24 open shed, of course my 6x6’s are treated, I was gonna use untreated yellow pine for the rest of the shed & I had a employee at a hardware store recommend I use treated for everything or I’d be repairing/replacing lumber in about 3 years, I would just like to get your opinion on what type of lumber would you think would be sufficient, & what the longevity of it would be???Thanks.
Use treated. It costs a little more, and it is wet when you get it, but it is much better. My design is based on a design I discovered in my youth, which lasted 50 years but still failed, as it was built from common (untreated wood). Use my design, using treated wood, and your shed will last at least 100 years. However, check the codes in your area. If shed roofs in your area are subject to building codes, then put the end braces on top of the posts, as this is the standard and best practice.
Hi Memphis, I am doing the same thing along the side of my 30x50 pole barn to protect my tractor equipment. 3 questions; where did you get the roofing tin, how long was it and how much per sheet? I'm trying to figure cost and that is the only material I have no clue about.
The roofing tin was 12 feet long and 3 feet wide and I got it at Lowe's. Here is a good lesson's learned: wherever you get your material, have it delivered. It cost about $50 or so, but it is worth it, as all the rafters, joists, and tin you will want in 12 foot lengths. Another pointer is to get some help, hired if you must, as the job is both hard and more dangerous if working alone. Thanks for the kind words and good luck on your project. Fall is the best time for this job, and summer is the worst time.
How did you prevent the water from going in between the wall and the roof Edge when it's raining really hard cuz you don't have much slope on the roof and could you have just overlaped that last piece of metal?
Hi good man, I appreciate your skill to build this shed, but one question came up to me, why you not put any protection paint for wood on your structure ? Good Bless you
I'm not afraid of heights really. I did galvalume metal in a large shed we have though and it was super scary. Especially when a smidgen of moisture got on the metal. You can go for a luge ride to busted my butt in a hurry.
Believe it or not, I am only a day late in watching this. I believe this particular shed roof will make the biggest difference in your shop usage. Can you still get your truck back up to the doors? Are those angled braces more for aesthetics than structure? They don't seem to be supporting as much even though you have nailed the inner and outer support beam to them. I do like the way they look. I am right there with you on the fear of heights. People who don't have the fear don't realize how paralyzing it can be. I describe it to my sister-in-law who is terrified of snakes like this: Imagine you are locked in a room with thousands of snakes. That is the fear I have when standing on the edge of a cliff. I have a friend who was looking at a house under construction to do an estimate. The house was in a remote area just outside of the National Park. A 6 foot ladder was what they used to get up to the second floor of the house. When he was coming down, the ladder fell as he put his foot on the first rung. He had no choice but to drop to the floor and it busted up his hip and crushed his foot. There was no cell signal there and no one around for miles. He had to drag himself to his truck, pull up into the truck and drive back to town where he drove to the emergency room. Yea. The older we get we shouldn't be on ladders by ourselves. I think someone had gone through those boards that you were using for the rafters and left you with all the junky boards. That looked like a bit of a pain to deal with. I hope you are back up and dancing a jig. Stay off of ladders for a while.
Not jigging yet, but I did mow my grass today. Right now I'm back to my normal back ache, which I seem to always have. And you are right, I'm pretty tired of ladders by now. That's the way it is at all these big box lumber yards. Guys cull through the whole stack, then the Lowe's employees pile the junk back on top of the pile at night. Sometimes half the pile is rejects, but then when you finally dig down to the non-reject you find that a quarter of them are rejects too. I normally just give up and buy a few extra, then work with what I have. Sorry to hear about your friend, but that is exactly what I was talking about. He was actually lucky in a way that he could still struggle back to the truck. Of course, my fear of heights is related to my advancing seniority, as I don't remember any fear of heights until I was about 40 years old. But paralysing is a good word. As sometimes I start shaking so bad I lose muscle control, and I'm frozen in place trying to calm down. But, for good or bad, the fear went away on this job toward the end, as I spent so much time on the ladder that my nerves just gave up. I copied the design from my brother's shed roof, which has lasted 45 years. I think (my guess) that the angled braces are structural, and serve three purposes. First, they short span of the end-braces. Second, they carry some of the weight. And third, they help hold the end-graces together. The third point should not be overlooked, as for this system to work the end-braces must not be allowed to warp or twist, thus pulling out the nails at the end. It is the best shop improvement project yet. It is wonderful. Yes, I designed it so that I can drive my truck into either door, and I've even been parking my truck under the South shed rood to keep it out of the weather. Back to woodworking next week, I hope. Hope to see you then.
I am happy to hear that you are back on the mend. Yes. my friend (actually my former husband) was lucky. He could have been hurt a lot worse and unable to get to the truck and drive himself. It has been several years since that happened and he still has a lot of pains in both his hip and his ankle. He keeps a lot of the pain at bay by staying active. I can remember the day that I developed a fear of heights. I was about 10 years old and fell about 15 feet out of a tree. (back in my day, it was a normal pass time for kids to climb trees) My only injury was getting the breath knocked out of me, but I have been scared of heights since. I am trying to desensitize myself to the heights just like you did on the ladder. I keep taking hikes and forcing myself to stand close to the edge of steep drop offs. Your comments about the braces being structural sound very valid. I can see why they would be. I am happy that this has improved your quality of shop life! Good idea to keep the truck under the roof. It keeps the paint and interior in much better condition if you can keep it out of the sun and weather. See you next week.

Nice job big help for me with my job at home thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice job Memphis. You're correct of course about not working alone, but some of us are just plain stubborn.
And others just don't have a wife willing to get on roof, let alone zip in some screws with a drill.
Thanks for this
Good Job I just finishing up my 3rd she’d roof
Thank You Much, for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with those of us who lack it. god bless you good sir stay safe working by yourself and be careful

One of my first thoughts was how nice the rain sounds on a metal roof.
You did a nice job and I have learned some tricks too. I want to build the same type of roof on the back side of my shop for lumber storage.

I'm not afraid of heights but I know what you mean when you say "I'm old and shouldn't be on ladders." i am totally with you there.

Thanks for the kind words, and hope to see you around the channel. No more shed roofs for a while; it's back to woodworking.
Little overkill but awesome work sir. I prefer notching the posts and setting the 2/6 in the notch then lag bolts
That is the best way, but I copied a proven design from my youth. If I was a young guy doing this as a job, then I'd never build a shed roof this way.

Because I'm a rookie just like you.. Others have pointed out the same issue, and everyone was right but me. Hope your project turned out OK.
Did you use treated wood for the roof structure?
Nice video, I’m building a 12x24 open shed, of course my 6x6’s are treated, I was gonna use untreated yellow pine for the rest of the shed & I had a employee at a hardware store recommend I use treated for everything or I’d be repairing/replacing lumber in about 3 years, I would just like to get your opinion on what type of lumber would you think would be sufficient, & what the longevity of it would be???Thanks.

I see your header just screwed or nailed on might need carriage bolts for snow load or nails rust or get loose in time
How did you prevent the water from going in between the wall and the roof Edge when it's raining really hard cuz you don't have much slope on the roof and could you have just overlaped that last piece of metal?
what size columns did you use
