Nice! I'll be doing that myself soon. Have to figure out the pitch first, I don't recall what it needs to be at the moment to set solar panels on top after the roof is finished.
Then the wood will not sit. The H1 clip is for a strong wind coming from underneath the overhang so it won’t lift up. I wouldn’t just have the strong tie with no bird’s mouth
When cutting the rafters to lay on top of the top plate, just connect the dots and lines on the cut outs and you won't need to use the speed square to figure any angles which means won't need to use the level and figure the angel.
Not necessarily. There’s two plates on top. And the distance is not far off and the structure is not big overall. If it had more weight or a support beam of 2x8 with a rafter of 25-30 feet long then probably. But then it won’t be held up with 2X4 either. lol
Great video. Rough estimate to build a shed like this ? I'm a DIYer and looking to build one about the same size with a flat roof maybe 10 feet at the entrance and slopes towards the back at 8 feet. For foundation I plan on using Tuff block that's made to hold up to 1800 lbs.
Thanks for this video! I’m building something similar and have been racking my brain around trying to figure out the sub fascia. I too cut my ends of my rafters on the front and back to be vertical/90 degrees . Now the sub fascia board needs to be wider than 5.5” wide. It was nice to see you not worrying about it, as I was about to do a trip to the store for a 2X8 to cut down to size and bevel cut for the right angle and it just sounded like a pain. Do you find that the roof covers that small gap of the sub fascia board? Hope that makes sense!
I wondered if you could comment on my 2/12 shed roof over a 28 foot wall length. I have short 10 foot 2 x 6 boards and plan to join them(offset) and connect the rafters to interior walls. I wondered how you would build the exterior walls?
2/12 is not a steep pitch. With metal roof and shingles it is required to have at least 3/12 pitch. With shingles the 2/12 will let water back up under them and cause big issues.
I noticed at 0:25 you said the H1 clip goes on the inside of the building but then at 3:39 it shows you have them on the exterior of the building on the lower part, is that for the rafter to have more "bite" when putting nails in the bottom hole like you were talking about the upper portion of the roof?
I should have been more clear. The h1 clip can go on either the inside or the outside. on new construction with an A frame roof it's recommended to go on the outside, but if you have a single pitch roof then it's nice to have the option to go both inside and outside. Yes for better bite.
@@sethcraftshop you mention H1 clips in the video but then once your placing it on the top plate you can read H2 clip. Obviously that works better for a 2x6 than a H1 clip but would an H1 be sufficient? Seems like most people just notch the beans and dont even bother with any kind of clips.
Thank you for joining! My goal is to make this channel workshop and build dedicated. Try not to add anything that does not belong here. Yes I will probably do another video on Land To House soon. (Land To House channel is slowly fading it would seem ((lowest views of 1400 videos in over 3 years)))
Hi, I am about to build a 12x16 shed with a single pitch roof. I was looking at a Span Table and it recommends for spans over the 12' width to have at least 2x8 on 12 or 16 inch centers, and for 24 inch centers, to use 2x12 rafters. Based on what did you decide to use 2x6 on 24 inch centers? TIA
Here in my area there is not much snow load. The 2x6 on a 10 foot roof is fine. On a 12 foot I should think 2x8 is ideal. 24" was OK here but if you get much snow go with 16" center.
They’re called hurricane ties or string ties. In windy or tropical places that have strong storms it’s required by code, especially with the amount of overhang cause a wind can come from underneath. Also, they’re only $1-2 a piece. Peace of mind

i learn the birdmouth from you , thank you
That cut is very helpful to make the rafters strong.
Thank you! Helped a lot building my cow barn!
Ladders?!? Oh, for the fly rafters! Looking good!
It seemed like the best way to get the eve space on this single angle roof. So far it has worked well.
Very nice job with the birds mouth cutouts and supporting the ladders.
Thank you. This design is new to me but seems to be working really well!
Nice! I'll be doing that myself soon. Have to figure out the pitch first, I don't recall what it needs to be at the moment to set solar panels on top after the roof is finished.
Thank you. Solar panels will need to be on a steeper slope than this build.
Yeah I think it's about 23 degrees spring/fall here.
You teach well. Thanks brother🤙
Wow this is gold❤
Thank you. The build was successful.
With the H1 clip, is it necessary to do the cut out. In other words is it structurally sound without cut it out to fit
Then the wood will not sit. The H1 clip is for a strong wind coming from underneath the overhang so it won’t lift up. I wouldn’t just have the strong tie with no bird’s mouth
Excellent job!
Thank you.

Wouldn't it be good to put those roof rafters right over the wall studs to carry the load all the way down?
Rafters are centered at 24” the wall studs at 16”
Not necessarily. There’s two plates on top. And the distance is not far off and the structure is not big overall.

Building pretty much the same thing but 12x16. Curious why you did not go with diagonal end braces for the end trusses.

What is the reason you don't use all screw on the h1 plate

Could you leave the rafter ends exposed to give a different look or is there a structural element the sub-fascia provides?
You would want to get treated lumber if you are going to leave them exposed to the weather.
Yes you could leave the end rafters exposed but I'd use Pressure treated lumber as the ends will for sure rot.
Why bother doing birdsmouth when you have hurricane ties??
I like the way the rafters sit on the top plate with birdsmouth cuts. But the hurricane ties should be all you need.
Solid
Thanks for sharing! Question…did you use blocking in between the rafters? I’m thinking about skipping that step but not sure.
Easier and much more accurate to draw the birds mouth when you had it in situ 5:20

2/12 is not a steep pitch. With metal roof and shingles it is required to have at least 3/12 pitch. With shingles the 2/12 will let water back up under them and cause big issues.
What is the difference from high point to low point of you roof
If it is 3.5 pitch and shed is 10 feet then the front wall is 35 inches higher then the back wall

Hey - I just came over here because I looked at you earlier video. You may want to do a little promo on land-to-house frequently. Best of luck!

What are we actually building here Seth? Sorry, may have missed the first in the series.
Looks like it's a floating structure to move elsewhere?
I am at a friends place building a 10x12 office space so that he can work from home.
You obviously don't frame for a living
Correct.
I definitely learned from this video
Pointless using the clips with cut outs...
Rock solid.
