Foundation / Site Prep

Choose what suits the site. A compacted gravel pad with treated skids is fast and budget-friendly. A post and beam deck levels easily on a mild slope. A concrete slab gives the smoothest floor for rolling tools. Drawings include footprint sizing, blocking, drainage, and anchor options so you can adapt to frost depth and local wind or seismic requirements.

Roof Structure & Templates (Modern)

This modern shed uses rafters with a single pitch for clean drainage and a contemporary profile. The plan provides printable birdsmouth and seat-cut guides, rafter spacing, ledger details, and fascia setup. The clerestory band is shown with simple framing so light reaches both bays without giving up wall storage.

Why This Size & Style Works

The duplex layout solves mixed storage. Keep lawn gear, fuel, and noisy tools on one side, and clean items or garden supplies on the other. Each bay has its own door, so you can lock one side or lend access without opening everything. The single-slope roof fits tight side yards and throws water one direction. The clerestory windows brighten the interior while keeping privacy along the fence line.
