A Beautiful Gambrel Shed Plan

The Gambrel shed is an amazing shed design that is made for more space. The larger volume roof isn't just for looks, it is designed to make a large amount of storage space. The loft adds an additional 144 square feet of storage space with an average of about 4 feet of headroom. For doors and windows it has 6' wide double doors on the shorter 12' long wall and a single man door on the 16' wall. Two windows are on the wall opposite the man door and one window on the man door wall. .

The roof overhangs on the small barn shed are about 6 inches on the eve walls and 12 inches on the gable ends.

The plans are included to build the shed doors and the framing on the shed will accomodate either factory build doors or home built shed doors.
