Howdy,
My intent is to build a minimalist woodshed. I have no construction skills whatsoever, but I'll get help from qualified folks. I've got more than a few questions, and have read the shed-thread twice and stolen photos.
Plan is to go 8x12, 6' high in the back to 7' high in the front. So three 4x8 sections, each with two pallets for the floor.
1. Corrugated metal or plastic roof? First thought is that metal would conduct more heat through. Galvanized if metal? I don't prefer OSB and shingles. What about painting metal black for more heat?
2. How much overhang for roof? 144" panels on a 96" roof leaves enough for 2' out the back and 2' out the front. Is overhang on the side a good thing?
3. My split length is 16", so I'd stack six rows N/S to fill a section. I know I'm going to need something to keep wood from squirting out the sides.
Here are two shots I liked. Not my photos, but these got me thinking. Thanks.
