Hi,
I'm out to build a large wooden shed this year.
Does anyone have any useful links for me to take a browse at regarding the
actual frame design?

I'm not a chippy by trade, but am looking for a few pointers on the correct
way to design the frame (so it doesn't go all rhombic on me!).

I'm going for a flat felt roof with an incline to allow water to roll off.
It's the frame that is my concern. Something that won't distort in high
winds, etc.

I've looked at books but they're all about advanced timber construction -
I'm looking for simple foolproof designs that are guaranteed to work!

Cheers!!

Any use:

This was what I drew for my one. In reality I built it with less
diagonal members than shown in the plans. In reality I could have done
it without any since it was clad on both sides of the studwork, and that
added plenty of torsional rigidity anyway.

Result is still there years later and very solid:
