This step by step woodworking project is about building a roof for a 10×20 run in shed. This is PART 2 of the run in shed project, where I show you how to frame the lean to roof. This is a simple to follow project, because I show you step by step diagrams with instructions. My plans come with step by step instructions and you can easily adjust all the dimensions to suit your needs. See my other DIY projects HERE [1].
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 [2].

Building a run in shed roof – 10×20
Rafters – 10×20 2 stall shed
Use 2×8 lumber for the rafters. As you can easily notice in the diagram, you need to make birdsmouth cuts to the rafters. Mark the cut lines on the beams and then get the job done with a saw.
Rafters – 10×20 run in shed
Fit the rafters to the top of the run in shed, every 16″ on center. Use rafter ties and structural screws to lock the rafters to the wall headers.
Side wall panels – 10×20 run in shed
Use T1-11 siding for the sides of the shed. Cut the sheets to the fit into place and insert 6d nails to secure them to the frame of the shed. Leave no gaps between the sheets for a professional result.
Overhangs
Assemble the overhangs for the run in shed. Drill pilot holes through the beams and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the blockings. Align the edges flush and insert the screws to assemble the overhangs together tightly.
Fitting the side overhangs – run in shed
Align the edges flush, drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to lock them into place tightly. Insert the screws, every 8″.
Roof sheets – 10×20 run in shed
Fit the 1/2″ plywood or OSB sheets to the top of the run in shed. Align the edges flush and then lock the sheets to the rafters, every 8″. Leave no gaps between the sheets and the drill pilot holes before inserting the 1 5/8″ screws, to prevent the wood from splitting.
Side kickboards
Fit the 1×6 kickboards to the sides of the stalls. Use 1 5/8″ screws to lock the slats into place. Place 1/2″ plywood between the slats to create even gaps.
Fitting the back kickboards
Attach the 1×6 slats to the back of the stalls. Drill pilot holes before inserting the screws, to prevent the wood from splitting.
Side roof trims – run in shed with 2 stalls
Attach the 1×10 trims to the sides of the run in shed. Use 6d nails to secure the trims to the shed structure.
Front and back roof trims – 10×20 run in shed
Fit the 1×10 trims to the front and back of the shed roof. Align the edges flush and insert 6d nails to lock them into place tightly. Align the edges flush and leave no gaps between them.
Fitting the roofing – double run in shed
You could fit asphalt shingles to protect the shed, as it is a straight forward solution. Therefore, install roofing felt over the roofing sheets, making sure the strips overlap at least 2″. Secure the tar paper to the plywood sheets with roofing staples. Fit the side drip edges over the roofing felt, while the bottom drip edges should be fit under. Place a starting course at the bottom of the roof, before installing the asphalt shingles. Always read the manufacturing instructions before starting the installation, as there are several aspects that differ.
Smart Tip: The first course should star with a 3 tab shingle, the second course with a 2 1/2 tab , the third course with a 2 tab, the forth course with a 1 1/2 tab, the fifth course with a 1 tab, the sixth course with a 1/2 tab. Repeat the process from the beginning, starting with the seventh course. Don’t forget that the shingles should overhang from the drip edge about a 1/4″. In addition, secure the asphalt shingles to the roof decking with tacks.
How to build a 2 stall run in shed
If you want to build the frame for this run in shed, make sure you take a look over PART 1 [4]. I am sure this 10×20 run in shed will serve you well for many, many years in a row. This shelter is extremely versatile, as you can use it for many purposes. If you like my project, don’t forget to SHARE it on Facebook and Pinterest. Fit the 1×4 trims to the back of the shed, as well. If you want something bigger, I have free plans for a 16×24 loafing shed [5].
