How to Build a Wooden Shed

• Fix the doors first of the shed. Lay the front gable end flat on the ground and position the doors in place before securing the hinges. Before screwing the hinges in a fixed position, drill in pilot holes. 
• Place the floor panel on your shed base and check if the bearers are level with the bottom of the edge. 
  
• Start building the structure with the help of the rear gable. Hold one side of the shed vertically so that it can be formed into an L shape. 
  
• Fix the panels with the help of screws at the middle, bottom and top corners.
  

• Arrange your roof panel before attaching it to the body of the shed. 
• Fix the L bracket to each end of the roof’s ridge bar. Place them in order at the top of the shed’s apex and screw it in position at each end. 
  
• Secure the roof panel to the eaves frame with screws Remember to pre-drill all your screw holes. A pre-built roof panel can be completed in a day. 
  
• Slide the roof panel up onto the gables and secure it by screwing the board into the frame below along each edge. Repeat this process on the other side. 
  
• After the roof is fixed, you can secure the shed frame to the floor to avoid any movement. Pre-drill and screw the frame into the board and frame below.
  

• Measure the roof felt to the required size and cut it accordingly. 
• Roll the felt onto the roof, tack it down at the top two corners, and then secure it along the bottom edge. 
  
• Make sure to pull it tight to avoid wrinkles. If the felt doesn’t cover the whole roof board, add more felt. 
  
• Do the same for the other side, then lay the last piece of felt over the top of the roof. This piece should overlap the felt on each side and be secured along both sides.
  

• Adjust the wooden corner trims over the side panel framing. 
• Secure the framing with screws at the top, bottom and middle. 
  
• Repeat this for all four corners.
  

• Outside the shed, place a plastic glazing strip onto the window edge. 
• Put a piece of ​styrene into the frame and cover one edge with a framing piece. Do the same for the second piece of styrene, then add the center frame piece. 
  
• Score around the edges of the panes both inside and outside, then peel off the protective plastic.
  

• Fix the door blocks on the top, bottom and middle of one door with screws. This door becomes the main door.
• Attach a turn button on the top and bottom blocks inside the main door, this will avoid the door from opening regularly.
• Place a latch inside the fixed door at the top and bottom to keep it closed.
• Fasten strips to the main door over the gap to secure them at both ends.
• Add an external latch to the fixed door to prevent the main door from opening up too wide.
