here is my recently built wood shed. Still need to put on the roof when the material comes in. Will probably redo some of th cross braces too... i just kinda randomly put up pieces with scraps i had laying around.

Made about 60% with reclaimed wood from a redecked deck with pt 2x6.

Dimensions about 20x8x8 sloping to 6 in the back.

What are those anchors that you used to attach the pieces that support the roof to the posts? I'm looking to build something similar but haven't seen anchors like that before.

Thanks, I've used different styles for joist hangers, and hurricane ties for rafters, just hadn't seen the z shape style like you had, but I found it on the Lowe's site you linked.

I wasn't able to find that style on either home depots Canada site, or Simpson strong ties site, but Canada never seems to have as good of a selection.

They are simpson H1Z that attach rafters to header, not sure of the model of the one attaching header to post. But it was also a simpson from home depot
