 THE START-UP
1. Once you have your plans and know where you are going to place your new shed contact your local public utilities. They
will inform you about any pipes or cables that are buried in the ground in the area where you want to build. This is usually a
FREE service. It can help avoid costly disruptions in the event that you cause damage to their lines.
2. Know or find out exactly where your property lines are.
3. Contact your local building department and inquire about the required distance needed for side and rear yard set backs if
any and about any building permits that you may require.
4. It’s a good building practice to take the material list that comes with our plans to your local supplier and review the in stock
availability of the materials needed.
FOUNDATIONS
5. If you choose to build your shed using a foundation that is a concrete pier style (rather than a slab-on-grade) then the
height of the pier above grade should not be any higher than 3 times the smallest width of the pier.
6. They should also be placed so they will resist any soil or water pressure that acts against them such as that which may
take place when building on the side of a steep hill.
7. When building on a concrete pad (slab-on-grade) place anchor bolts no further than 7’-0” apart.
8. All concrete should be at least 1500 P.S.I. in strength. It should be reinforced with wire mesh or re-bar when these plans
require or in areas where soil conditions are poor or where earthquakes can occur. Your local building department can
advise you on this in your area.
9. Place a moisture barrier (polyethylene plastic sheet; it can be purchased in big rolls or you can use scraps of such plastic if
you like) between all concrete and wood or treat that wood with wood preservative.
10. Grade around the shed so that all water drains away from the building to protect it and the contents from water damage.
WOOD FRAMING
11. Where termites are known to exist, wood that they can reach should be treated with a recommended chemical that is toxic
to termites.
12. The long nails can be 3 1/2” common or 3 1/4”spiral “Ardox“, but must be long enough so that not less than ½ their length
penetrates into the second member.
13. Nails should be staggered so as to minimize splitting the wood and kept well in from the edges.
14. Use 2” nails to nail all sheeting, spaced 5 7/8” O.C. along the edges of the sheets and 11 ½” O.C. in-between.
15. Nail structural members as specifically stated on the plans and generally as required in item # 16 of the specifications.
16. Nail framing members using 3 ¼” spiral nails so that not less than 2 nails are used for the ends of each wall stud, ceiling
joist, each side and at the end of every lintel. Toe nail rafters to the ridge pole if there is one and to the top of the walls
using 3 nails at the end of each rafter. Nail the top 2X4 sill plate and/or the walls to the floor joist at 23” O.C. Nail the
double studs at openings and in the corners with nails placed 23” O.C. Use 2 nails wherever the 2X5 fascia boards meet
the ends of the rafters. Fill all nail holes with nails in the saddle anchors and joist hangers. The double floor joist and the
pieces of built up wood beams shall be nailed together with a double row of nails not more than 18” apart.
17. Use only tongue and grove plywood subflooring or support the edges of the sheets with solid backing underneath.
18. Install all floor and roof sheeting at right angles to the rafters and floor joists.
ATTIC VENTILATION, ROOFING AND SIDING
19 The proper attic ventilation should be obtained by using only vented soffit and the roof vents as called for on the plans.
20 Roofing and siding should be installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, including the
recommended starter strips and all recommended trim.
WINDOWS AND DOORS
21 Using windows and doors other than those called for will not affect the building provided they are the same size, function
in the same way and they should have the same appearance and be of equal quality.
22 Quality caulking should be applied around all openings so as to prevent water from coming into your new shed.
OPTIONS
23 Owners choosing to add options to their sheds such as heating, plumbing a nd an electrical service should consult area
trades people regarding their needs.
GENERAL
24 In spite of these plans, specifications and or advice and construction guides provided by Just Sheds Inc. it becomes by
building, the owner’s sole responsibility to a pply for all required permits, to build so that it is in accordance with all required
skill, standards and in a safe and skillful manner that suits the intended purpose in that area.

NOTE: PLEASE READ ALL NOTES AND SPECIFICATIONS BEFORE ORDERING ANY MATERIALS OR BUILDING

1 When cut in two or to the required size one piece will yield the needed amount.
2 Cedar or pressure treated wood is recommended. Use cut end treatment if treated wood is used.
3 Grade numbers 1 and 2 spruce is the specified lumber for this project.
4 2”X 5” lumber is recommended because it suits the 6” vinyl fascia best.
5 Consider ordering a few more of these items or others as it is common to
use more because of working style, waste or mistakes.
6 Always confirm the size of the unit and the rough stud opening (R.S.O.)
from the supplier before ordering or building.
7 Delete these items and 18 sq. ft. from no. 33 if you choose to build your shed on a concrete pad.
8 Not knowing your site or soil conditions prevents us from estimating any of your concrete needs. MATERIAL
9 It is the owner’s responsibility to apply for all required permits and to LIST
