HomeMy WebLinkAbout19060071 Building Plans12×8 8×8 Gable Shed Plans OVIDIU 0 ADD TO FAVORITES YOUR FAVORITES RANDOM PLAN This step by step diy project is about 12×8 8×8 gable shed plans. I have designed this double shed so you can add unique appeal to your backyard. While this garden shed has a complex design, it will be super easy to build with my free plans and step by step instructions. Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration. When buying the lumber, you should select the planks with great care, making sure they are straight and without any visible flaws (cracks, knots, twists, decay). Investing in cedar or other weather resistant lumber is a good idea, as it will pay off on the long run. Use a spirit level to plumb and align the components, before inserting the galvanized screws, otherwise the project won’t have a symmetrical look. 12×8 8×8 Gable Shed Plans Building a 12×8 8×8 shed 06/19/19 William Hohlt •Materials •A – 4 pieces of 4×4 lumber – 144″ long, 3 pieces – 96″ long SKIDS •B – 2 pieces of 2×6 lumber – 96″ long, 7 pieces – 93″ long FLOOR FRAME •B – 2 pieces of 2×6 lumber – 144″ long, 10 pieces – 93″ long FLOOR FRAME •C – 4 pieces of 3/4″ plywood – 48″x96″ long, 2 pieces – 48″x48″ long FLOOR •D – 2 pieces of 2×4 lumber – 32 1/2″ long, 1 piece – 144″ long, 1 piece – 137″ long, 8 pieces – 91 1/2″ long, 2 pieces – 78 1/2″ long, 6 pieces – 7 1/2″ long LARGE SHED SIDE WALL •E – 1 piece of 2×4 lumber – 185″ long, 2 pieces – 192″ long, 15 pieces – 91 1/2″ long BACK WALL •F – 2 pieces of 2×4 lumber – 96″ long, 1 piece – 89″ long, 8 pieces – 91 1/2″ long, 3 pieces – 41″ long, 3 pieces – 7 1/2″ long, 2 pieces – 32″ long, 4 pieces of 2×6 lumber – 35″ long LARGE SHED FRONT WALL •G – 1 piece of 2×4 lumber – 51 1/2″ long, 2 pieces -48″ long, 5 pieces – 91 1/2″ long LARGE SHED SIDE WALL •H – 1 piece of 2×4 lumber – 96″ long, 1 piece – 92 1/2″ long, 1 piece – 18 1/4″ long, 1 piece – 45 3/4″ long, 8 pieces – 91 1/2″ long, 2 pieces – 78 1/2″ long, 4 pieces – 7 1/2″ long, 2 pieces of 2×6 lumber – 35 ″ long SMALL SHED FRONT WALL • I – 11 pieces of T1-11 siding – 48″x96″ long, 1 piece – 16″x48″ long SIDING •4 pieces of 4×4 lumber – 12′ •3 pieces of 4×4 lumber – 8′ •2 pieces of 2×6 lumber – 12′ •19 pieces of 2×6 lumber – 8′ •5 pieces of 3/4″ plywood – 4’x8′ •3 pieces of 2×4 lumber – 16′ •2 pieces of 2×4 lumber – 12′ •74 pieces of 2×4 lumber – 8′ •7 pieces of 2×6 lumber – 8′ •12 pieces of T1-11 siding – 4’x8′ •6d nails, 2 1/2″ screws, 3 1/2″ screws •wood filler , wood glue, stain/paint 06/19/19 William Hohlt How to build a 12×8 8×8 gable shed Small shed floor frame The first step of the project is to build the floor frame for the small shed. Cut the components for the floor from 2×6 lumber. Drill pilot holes through the rim joists and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the perpendicular components. Make sure the corners are square and align the edges with attention. 06/19/19 William Hohlt Small shed skids Select the location for the shed and level the surface thoroughly. Remove the vegetation layer and then level the surface, before laying the 4×4 skids, equally spaced. Fit the floor frame to the skids and then use 3 1/2″ screws to lock them together tightly. Large shed floor frame 06/19/19 William Hohlt Continue the project by assembling the floor frame for the large shed. Cut the joists from 2×6 lumber, as shown in the diagram. Drill pilot holes through the rim joists and then insert 3 1/2″ screws into the perpendicular joists. Place the joists every 16″ on center, making sure the corners are square.

Make sure the top surface is perfectly horizontal. ‘ Floor sheets 06/19/19 William Hohlt Fit the 3/4″ plywood sheets to the floor frame of the shed. Use the pattern shown in the diagram and leave no gaps between the sheets. Insert 1 5/8″ screws, every 8″ along the framing. Small shed front wall The next step of the project is to build front wall for the small shed. Use 2×4 lumber for the plates and for the studs. Use 2×6 lumber and 1/2″ plywood for the double door header. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Place the studs and then build the door opening. 06/19/19 William Hohlt Small shed side wall Continue the project by assembling the small shed side wall. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Use 2×6 lumber and 1/2″ plywood for the double header. Place the studs every 16″ on center.

Back wall siding sheets 06/19/19 William Hohlt Fit the T1-11 siding sheets to the back wall of the shed. Align the sheets to the top edge of the wall. Leave no gaps between the sheets and then insert 2″ nails, every 8″ along the framing. Side wall with doors siding panels Fit the T1-11 siding sheets to the side wall of the large shed.
