Before you dig
Do I need a permit for a shed?
The model building code (IRC R105.2) exempts one-story detached sheds up to 200 sq ft, and many towns lower that to 120 sq ft. Setbacks and HOA rules apply at any size. Call your building department with the size you plan to build.
Gable or lean-to?
A lean-to has one sloped roof plane, sits well against a fence or the back of a garage, and uses less lumber. A gable roof gives headroom down the middle and sheds rain and snow to both sides. Lean-to plans here stop at 12 ft deep.
What does it sit on?
Every shed plan here sits on pressure-treated skids (4x4, or 4x6 past 16 ft deep) over a compacted gravel pad 12 in bigger than the shed on every side. No concrete needed.
Will 2x4 rafters hold snow?
Each plan picks the rafter size from conservative span tables for the snow you choose in the planner: light, moderate or heavy. Wider sheds and heavier snow step up to 2x6 or 2x8 rafters.
