How To Build A Shed Roof

If you are building a shed yourself sooner or later you will end up looking how to build the roof. The roof is very important part of the shed because a poorly created roof means you can have water leaks, bugs and snow going inside.

The type of the roof depends of course on the type of the shed you are building. The best thing to do is to build a roof fromthe same material that you use for the walls. So wooden sheds work best with wooden roof. But for metal sheds it's possible to make roof from wood, plastic or even roof-tiles.

Before starting, take the size of your shed. The roof must completely cover the walls - it would be better if you make it a bit larger.

Then you need to join and fix the part starting from the top row.

Of course if you don't know what to do before that, you should not start with the roof - learn how to build a shed first.

And remember, if anything looks too complex to you, you always have the option to just buy a read shed. Alternative to that is using shed kits of course.
