Storage Shed

[tbenefi33]

Hello Lady and Gent wow things have changed here since I've been here in awhile . I started working on this storage shed last night to see how much wood I would exactly need to build the real one. I'm about half way done. Here a couple of pics.

Looks pretty good, the top 2x4's should sit on top of the studs though.

 

You going to render it on a rotoscope of your yard where its going?

[tbenefi33]

Thanks I'll fix the top studs. Yes I was going to render it in my yard to show my stepdad what it will look like.

Cool

Looking good.

 

Remember to check your building codes in your area to make sure you are using the right materials for your shed. Be a shame to build your shed, then it doesn't meet code and have to take it down!

His shed is constructed of splines and patches, far superior to those cheap old 2x4's you find in Home Depot,

LOL yap I've seen some cheap lumber in Home Depot. I'll check out the buildiing code what town hall building would you go at ?

 

Well I fixed the top part fewwwww I add the sides, front, back and roof now her come the fun part putting the sheet of plywood on there. I couldn't take video of the back yard we been having rain all day that sucks.

nice shed!

Your walls need a top plate.

If you are not using metal brackets for the rough window sills, you will need a couple of extra cripple studs under each window.

Usually, if the window spans more than one space between studs, you need to put a header over each window.

 

Your rafters need a top beam running the length of the shed to maintain their spacing while you are climbing around up there tacking on sheeting.

You should extend the rafters a foot or two past the outer walls to keep water from running off the roof, down your walls and rotting them.

You cut the ends of the rafters perpendicular to the ground and then nail a fascia to them.

(A shed roof is much easier and cheaper. You have a gabled roof there.)

 

In my somewhat limited experience, all the studs in a wall are usually oriented the same way. In your image, the studs at the ends of each wall are rotated 90 degrees.

Then you place three studs (instead of one) at the corners so you have a nailing surface inside the structure at the corners.

 

There are some good tutorials on the web about framing a simple structure.

Actually you need to frame the windows correctly the studs are doubled and the walls should have double studs at the ends.

Well bad new on the storage shed build. No build on the real storage shed build stepdad wanted a place for chickens and mom said no on the chickens so scratch that I deal out

but I'll finish the 3d model one though I got the plywood side up on it All I got to do is paint or decal the shed and get a pic of the backyard.

 

 

[tbenefi33]

I have to tweek the model and add some glass in the window's and take a pic of my back yard and add it in there sorry for the decal door I used the wood material and when I wonted to add shengles to it they turned to wood why does it do that ? ( I just left it wood )

That solves the frame issues hehe.

heres some bitmaps you can use for textures. name the faces you want to apply them on then you can simply drag the image on it and set the repeat count

Thank you pixelpluker I'll sure use it.
