A wooden shed is always a useful structure, solving a lot of storage needs, especially if you are a passionate gardener or handyman, with many tools and much equipment to lodge. Bicycles, scooters and other large objects can also be stored in such a structure which can be easily built by following a few steps. Moreover, the shed can also turn into a workshop where you can fix things or take care of other projects needed at home. Below are the detailed steps showing you how to build a wooden shed, as seen on Wikihow.com, which will take the storage burden off your chest.<\/p>\n
The shed detailed here is one built on deck piers to protect the structure from excessive moisture. The piers will allow you to string support beams beneath the floor of the shed. In the example design, the piers are spaced 6 feet apart in one direction and 4 feet apart in the other for a total grid area of 12 x 8 feet. Add the support beams lengthwise across the deck piers. This will support your floor joists, which run in the opposite direction. The easiest way to attach the beams to the piers is with metal straps, which have built-in nail holes.<\/p>\n
Next is attaching a rim joist along the outer edge of each outermost support beam. Each of these will need to be the same length as the beam underneath, but slimmer than them. These will support the ten floor joists you will add next. To keep the floor joists from moving, install a piece of blocking between each pair of floor joists along the center support beam.<\/p>\n
