SET THE SIDE BEAMS
Each side beam is made up of three 2x10s. Rather than lifting the heavy
assembled beams into place, install the 2x10s individually. Rest one end on the
ledger, then slip the other end into the pocket in the shed wall.

PROP UP THE
SHED RIDGE BEAM
Build triple 2x4 supports, centered
on both shed walls. Plumb and brace
the supports. Rest the assembled
shed beam on the supports and tack
it into place.
S
torage space is usually measured as floor
space. By that standard, this shed is similar
to any 8 x 10-ft. shed. But wall space often mat-
ters more, and that’s where this shed shines.
With about 350 sq. ft. of surface, these walls can
support large shelves and all your yard gear.
