Buildings, Sheds and Cottages

The 10 x 10 ft shed is constructed mainly from 1-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch (90mm x 45mm) wood for the framing, 3/4 inch (19mm) thick plywood for the floor and wall cladding, and 3/4 x 6 inch (150mm x 19mm) boards for the roof. The inside floor size is 8ft (2400mm) wide x 10ft (3000mm) long. The inside width gains another 22 inches (550mm) at mid-height because of the sloping walls, making the overall wall size around 10ft x 10ft - hence why it is called the 10 x 10 shed. The inside height at the highest point is around 8ft 8in (2600mm). The overall height is 124 inches (3100mm). On subsequent pages are building instructions, plan drawings, and a list of help references for this 10x10 Tudor-Style Shed project. The instructions are in 23 parts (steps). Each part also lists the URL (web address) of a relevant video. The videos are only a quick skim through the building process, and are intended as a visual aid to help with the various project segments, not as a replacement for the plans.
