How hard is this 6x8 Lean to Shed to build?

This is not a hard shed at all to build.  If you have moderate experience at building things out of wood, you should not have any issues. The roof is an actual 'shed roof' just due to the fact that it has one slope only, unlike the gable style roof that has two sides, or the gambrel style roof which is indeed much more complicated to build.

The walls are framed with 2x4's at 16" on center.  Each wall is built separately and stood in place, then nailed or screwed into place.

The floor framing is very simple and is constructed of treated 2x6's spaced 16" on center.  You can add heavy duty eye bolts to the ends of the 4x6 skids and pull this shed to any location on your property.

The shed door will last a long time and are definitely built to be sturdy and non-sagging.

Siding your shed is also easy as the LP recommended siding panels are 4'x8' in size and can be installed directly over the framed walls without any underlying osb wall paneling.
