10×14 Lean to Shed Roof Plans

This step by step woodworking project is about 10×14 lean to shed roof plans. This is the PART 2 of the 10×14 shed, where I show you how to build the lean to roof. This shed features front and back overhangs. You can also easily add side overhangs to the roof of the shed, if you want. Remember that this shed is suitable for mild climates, so if you live in an area with snow, follow these shed plans. See my other DIY projects HERE.

We recommend you to invest in the best materials you could afford. Therefore, you should buy weather-resistant lumber, such as pine or cedar. Always take accurate measurements before adjusting the size of the components at the proper size. Drill pilot holes trough the components before inserting the wood screws, to prevent the wood from splitting. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

10×14 Shed Roof – DIY Plans

Rafters – 10×14 shed plans

Use 2×6 lumber for the rafters. Mark the cut lines on the beams and then get the job done with a circular saw. Smooth the edges with sandpaper.

Fitting the rafters – 10×14 shed

Fit the rafters to the top of the shed. Place the rafters every 16″ on center, equally spaced, as shown in the diagram. Drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to lock the rafters into place tightly. Alternatively, you can use rafter ties to lock the trusses to the plates.

Side roof supports

Use 2×4 supports for the sides of the roof. Drill pocket holes at insert 2 1/2″ screws to secure them into place tightly.

Side siding sheets – 10×14 shed

Use T1-11 siding sheets for sides of the shed. Use 8d nails to secure the sheets to the wall frames, every 8″ along the framing.

Roof sheets – 10×14 lean to shed plans

Fit 3/4″ plywood sheets to the roof of the shed. Align the sheets with attention, making sure you leave no gaps between them. Insert 1 5/8″ screws to lock the sheets into place, every 8″ along the rafters.

Side roof trims – 10×14 shed

Use 1×8 lumber for the side roof trims. Use 8d nails to secure the trims into place.

Front and back roof trims – 10×14 shed

Fit the trims to the front and back of the shed roof.

Fitting the roofing – 10×14 shed

Cover the roofing sheets with tar paper. Install the tar paper starting with the bottom of the roof and make sure the strips overlap for at least 2″. Install the shingles starting with the left- bottom of the roof, after fitting the starting course. Use roofing tacks to secure the shingles into place.

Double door plans – 10×14 shed

Use 2×4 lumber for the door frame. Assemble the door frame with 2 1/2″ pocket screws and then attach the T1-11 siding panel with glue and nails.

Fitting the jambs – 10×14 lean to shed

Attach the 2×4 jambs around the door opening. Align the edges flush and insert 2 1/2″ screws to secure the jambs into place tightly.

Fitting the double doors

Fit the door to the opening and align the edges flush. Use hinges to attach the door to the jambs. Install a latch.

Side window trims

Fit the window to side opening. Add the trims around the window.
