12'x24' DIY Shed Build (Part 4 – Roof)

12'x24' DIY Shed Build (Part 4 – Roof)

Welcome to part 4 of our shed build showing the roof framing, sheathing, and papering. The metal roof installation will be shown in a future video. In this video we show the rafter, blocking, and fascia installation, along with the plywood sheathing and synthetic underlayment for the metal roofing.

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)

The Arizona Homestead Project says:

You need to make a big "P" out of white rocks on the hill behind the shed. lol

Jarrad Redwine says:

Best video yet! Nicest shed I’ve ever seen.

Rebel on a Trail says:

Hey Brian, I want you to know that this video explained several things to me that I always wondered about building a structure! Such as the birds mouth cut and the blocking! Thanks!

DIY by Dino says:

Wait…your blocking between rafters on the should be vented both the upper AND lowers.
Your attic needs to breathe, unless… the inside ceiling is open.

Home depot may have your size OR drill 2 or 3 vent holes with a spade bit then cover with mesh to keep bus and birds out.
Hope you get this before it gets sealed up. Dean in Phx.
