Easy DIY Projects

Welcome to part 5 of our shed build showing the wall sheathing installation. In this video we show the sheathing of the walls with 4’x8’ OSB (oriented strand board) sheets. We were able to use full sheets on the front (tall) wall, but had to cut them down to about 6’ 6” on the back (short) wall. For the sides, each sheet had to be cut to match the slope of the roof. To finish up this portion, we cut out the window openings.

This will be a 12’x24′ wooden shed with a single slope metal roof and LP SmartSide siding.

I’ll try to summarize some of the construction stats/key points here:

FLOOR:
– 12′ x 24′
– 4′ x 4′ treated skid foundation
– 2″ x 8″ joists @ 16″ OC
– 3/4″ plywood subfloor

WALLS:
– 2″ x 4″ construction with double top plates
– (3) 3′ x 2′ sliding windows
– DIY double door – 59” x 80”
– 1/2″ OSB sheathing
– House wrap
– LP SmartSide paneling

ROOF:
– 16′ x 27′
– 1.5-in-12 pitch (minimum recommended by metal roof mfr), single slope
– 2″ x 8″ rafters @ 24″ OC
– 1/2″ plywood sheathing, with sheathing clips
– Synthetic roofing paper
– 29 gauge galvalume metal roofing panels (3′ x 16′ each)
