Investing in cedar or other weather resistant lumber is a good idea, as it will pay off on the long run. When buying the lumber, you should select the planks with great care, making sure they are straight and without any visible flaws (cracks, knots, twists, decay). Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration. If you live in an area with hurricanes, make sure you enhance the joints by installing proper ties. The roof has a great slope so you can use this shed in any area. This is PART 2 of the shed project where I show you how to build the barn style roof, using the most straight forward techniques and materials. This step by step diy project is about 8×16 gambrel roof plans.
