This sturdy shed is constructed of 100x50 (2x4) framing and board-and-batten siding. The same boards that clad the walls are also used to clad the roof.

The footprint (ground area) is 2100mm (7ft) wide and 2400mm (8ft) deep.
The shed stands 2700mm (9ft) high at the apex which is the highest point, and tapers down to 1400mm (4' - 8") high at each side.

Double doors with a 1300mm (52") wide opening allows for easy access into the shed.

The structure sits on skids, thus making the shed relocatable.

The dimensions in this detailed plan-set are in both metric and imperial. All measurements are given first in millimeters followed by feet and/or inches in brackets.

The step-by-step instructions are accompanied by drawings for easier understanding.

To begin building your Board-and Batten Shed, skim thru all the pages to get a feeling of the project and then start at the Instructions page.

Hyperlinked page contents are listed at the bottom of every page making it easy to skip from page to page. A disclaimer is also at the bottom of this page.

The 'Parts List' below gives lengths of individual pieces. For overall quantities and all other materials go to the Shopping List

Note 1: All dimensions are given in both metric and imperial. Measurements are given first in millimeters followed by ft and/or inches in brackets.

Note 2: The size (width and thickness) of the lumber referred to in the 'Parts List' below is the nominal size. Because most framing lumber is dressed or seasoned the actual size of the lumber will be less than the nominal size.
For example: 100x50 (2x4) lumber when dressed or seasoned will have an actual size of approximately 90x45 (1 1/2"x 3 1/2").
The measurements given in all the plans in this project are the 'actual sizes'.
