You could also create skids by gang-nailing together three or four 2x6s or 2x8s and setting them on edge. The doors close similar to car doors. Once you're satisfied with fit, lay sample truss on a smooth, flat surface. A gable roof is framed with girders that slope downward from the peak of roof to the tops of the exterior walls of the building. Use a 2-by-4 end brace temporarily nailed to the end girts and to the top corner of truss, to hold truss in place. Work with attention and adjust the slope of the roof to suit your needs and budget.
Attach the ties to the sides of rafters with three 16d framing nails in a triangular pattern at each end. We slice slightly smaller than frame and caulked them in place. Remove temporary support (go) blocks when you're done attaching hinges. A major challenge with making wooden doors is making sure they stay flat. A concrete rake is like a large garden hoe that pulls concrete around. We mounted a gate latch that accepts a padlock to secure the sliding doors. At ends another vertical layer was added for extra protection, to cover the open ends and to it look better.
This is a decorative shed, making it a great choice if you have a stylish backyard. Locate the door posts and additional side posts, and make sure they are correct distance from other posts as well as plumb. Timber frames are a very popular way of supporting a shed. Using a reciprocating saw you can slice door panel out from back side then trim front section left on bottom front with a circular saw. This particular shed was built as a garden outbuilding to hold tools and such. This gave me a good place to attach triangle to, on two sides.
When concrete cures, push strap against the steel rib and drill several holes. It can however, take a little time to set up the piers properly. This is a team operation with the person on the inside drilling holes and the person on outside inserting machine screws. But flat roofs take a pounding from harsh weather, which is why they rarely last as long as a good sloped roof. Do not fix the door stop tight against the door on the hinged side. Mark stud locations with a tape measure, speed square and pencil. That attention to detail would pay off when it comes to rafter cutting and setting since they'll all be close to same.
There are also drawings of individual wall frame members showing angle cuts and lengths. Reposition the catwalk, as necessary, and mark side of a rafter at 64 inches above joist that's below that rafter. It was around 6 hours labor 4 with my helper and 2 on my own and all 12 posts were up and almost half of the horizontal stringers ran. This would allow you to add your own trim for a custom look. Use two hinges to secure the door into place. Let me just stop and say, learn to be exact with making things straight and plumb.
Then place them back in the holes, wedge them solidly so the beams will center on them, and fill them with concrete. Measure horizontal distance between marks on the opposing eaves and note measurement of the collar ties. If you have a greater slope, you may have to construct a retaining wall and add fill to get a level site. It supports your outbuilding on a solid ground level or near ground level pad similar to a concrete pad. Cover barrier with gravel and spread it out evenly with a shovel and metal garden rake.
