1. Check your local building codes if you haven’t already to determine what type of anchoring you need to do for your garden shed. Chances are if you have applied for a permit you’ll know the answer to this question already. Usually, there are two types of anchoring if you are not building on top of a concrete slab.

How To Build Shed Walls

Now place them together and mark off locations for your wall studs and door stud location. Cut your wall studs and door studs (door studs if you are building a saltbox shed) and lay them in between your top and bottom plates and nail into place.

How To Build Shed Doors

Shed doors are easy to build

Perhaps the most difficult task in building your shed is the construction of your doors. I like to build them before I construct my shed walls, because with the saltbox shed, you actually lay the doors onto your wall studs, nail them into place, then raise your wall on your floor and your done, front wall complete with doors.

How To Build a Shed Roof

To build a shed roof, first you have to assemble your roof trusses. All of my shed plans are for sheds built with trusses. What's the difference? Most typically sheds and small storage barns are built with a ridge beam running down the middle of the top of the shed roof. Attached to this ridge board are joists extending down to the adjacent walls top plates.

This is How To Finish Your New Storage Shed

How to finish a shed

Finishing your shed with paint and caulk is important if you want your shed to last longer than normal. Before painting your shed, I recommend that you caulk with a paintable siliconized latex caulk. Caulk along all exposed horizontal joints where water can get in, and also caulk along vertical joints where water can work its way in.
