Plans For Attached Shed To Outside Back Wall of Garage
I have been searching the web for plans to build a shed for storing
lumber that is attached to the outside back wall of my two car garage without success. The back wall of the garage is thirty feet wide and I want to tuck the roof of the shed under the existing soffit of the garage roof which is eight feet tall. My dilemma is how to attach the shed roof rafters to the garage wall. Any help would be appreciated. Woody |

Plans For Attached Shed To Outside Back Wall of Garage
Woody,
I have been searching the web for plans to build a shed for storing lumber that is attached to the outside back wall of my two car garage Look for a storage shed in one of the magazines. I seem to recall a storage unit, like you suggest either in Wood or Workbench within the last year. Also, go to a book store or Woodcraft (which has a lot of great books), there's a book on storage sheds (Sunset?) and I think one of them has what you're looking for. Good luck! MJ Wallace |

Woody Lag a ledger to the existing garage wall and use metal rafter ties to secure the rafters: http://www.strongtie.com/products/connectors/RR.html -- Jack Novak Buffalo, NY - USA |

My dilemma is how to attach the shed roof rafters to the garage wall. Any help would be appreciated. While I didn't do it for wood storage, I do have a small "shed" mounted to the back of my shop that holds my compressor and dust collector and is maybe 8x6 or so. You didn't say how your existing garage rafters are set up, if it's just rafters and a soffit, wouldn't it be possible to bolt the extension rafters to the existing rafters? I wouldn't assume the new shed is going to be that large or that the roof would be carrying a lot of weight, would it? My shop has a flat roof with no exposed rafters so I couldn't do it like that. Make sure you check for city code, you may need a permit, they don't tend to look kindly on people doing work without them, in fact, they often just make you tear it all down and start over. |

Woody Lag a ledger to the existing garage wall and use metal rafter ties to secure the rafters: http://www.strongtie.com/products/connectors/RR.html I concur with the above. I'd also suggest getting a copy of the FHA minimum property standards. They have drawings for mimimum standards for almost every conceivable construction technique. Minimum means just that. There's no law against stouter than required. But it's a bad mistake to do less. |
