8x8 Saltbox Plans Include The Following:

• 5 Foundations: There are 5 different foundations are included in the plans; Wood skid, Concrete slab, Concrete Block Pier, Poured Concrete Pier and Precast pier.
• Floor: 2x6 floor joists with 3/4" floor sheathing.
• Walls Framing: 2x4 framing at 16" on center with a double top plate, just like a home is framed.
• Wall Height: The front shed wall height is 6'-6" and the rear shed wall height is 5'-3".
• Door = 3'-9" x 5'-9 1/2" door is built using sandwich construction for strength and durability. Our door plan shows you how to build a shed door that will outlive the shed. The shed door is built using a 2x4 inner frame faced on the inside with 1/2" O.S.B. and on the outside there is a layer of T-111 to match the rest of the shed. We use 3 hinges on the doors and the screws go into the inner 2x4 frame of the door to give extra strength.
• Siding: T-111 exterior siding. Other sidings such as vinyl may be used.
• Roof: The roof is framed using 2x4's to build the trusses. It is sheeted with 1/2" O.S.B. The plans give you the dimensions and cut angles so you can build the roof rafters on the ground and then put them up on the top plates.
• Roof Pitch: The saltbox shed has two roof pitches which is what gives it that saltbox look. The front roof pitch is 12/12 and the rear roof pitch is 5/12.
• Roof Overhang: 4" on the front and back and 1" on the sides.
• Roofing = 25 year asphalt shingles
• Siding = T1-11 siding or similar 4'x8' wood or cement panel siding is specified but you can use any siding you like.
• Trim = 1x3 and 1x6 wood, masonite or cement trim materials are used to finish the corners, roof eves and facia, and door.
• Floor Load: 50 pounds per square foot for framed floors. You don't want your shed floor to feel spongy.
• Roof Snow Load: 40 pounds per square foot. This is more than adequate for most areas. If you live in an area with a high snow load you should check with your local building department for your local snow load. Contact us and we can specify stronger roof framing.
