12x16 Lean-to Shed - Parr Lumber

The DIY plan by iCreatables is designed to make your shed simple and inexpensive to build. The diagrams are professionally drawn and the step by step instructions will show how to build a shed whether you are an old pro or a first time framer. The materials list is broken down by parts of the shed. For instance, the floor framing plan has all the materials to build the floor listed on the floor framing sheets, and the wall framing has its materials listed on the wall framing sheets.

  • Lower shed wall height is 7′ 7″, the higher wall is 9′ 4 1/2″
  • The 7′ 7″ lower wall height allows a pre-hung factory built door to go on any wall and reduces the amount of siding and labor needed to build the shed

  • A single door may be installed if desired
  • Shed plans include details on how to build optional home-built doors that fit in the 6068 door opening
  • Drawings explaining how to build the door on the end or sides of the shed
  • Windows can be added on any wall (windows not include in the plans)
  • Textured plywood siding is what is shown on the plans, but you may add or substitute other sidings such as cedar shingles or horizontal lap siding or vinyl siding
  • Roof is framed using 2×8’s to build the rafters and is sheeted with 1/2″ OSB
  • Plans give you a template and dimensions for the birds mouth cut angles
  • 2/12 roof pitch, which means that for every 2″ of rise there is 12″ of run horizontally
  • Roof Overhang: 6″ on the front back and sides
  • PBR corrugated metal roofing, which is designed for low slope roofs
  • Trim: 1×4 wood, masonite or cement trim materials are used to finish the corners, roof eves, fascia, and door
