A Large Lean To Shed Plan

The 12x16 Lean To Shed is one of our largest lean to shed designs. It is the perfect size for a larger shed workshop or storage area, or both!

The lower shed wall is framed to 7'-7" tall. The taller wall is 9'-6". The two angled lean to shed walls and the short wall are all framed to the same height, 7'-7".

The 12x16 lean to backyard shed plans come with details to install the shed doors on any of the 4 walls. Door plans are included so you can build your doors on site or order them from a door shop.

• Materials List: The shed plans come with a complete materials list that is broken down by parts of the shed.
• 5 Foundations: The shed plans include plans for a wood rail foundation, concrete slab, poured pier, concrete block pier, treated wood on crushed gravel.
• 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 shed wall height is drawn to 7'-7" for the short wall and 9'-6" for the tall wall.
• Door: Home Built Door or Factory Built Doors
  • Door Size - 6'-0" x 6'-8"
• Siding: T-111 exterior siding. Other sidings such as vinyl or cement based sidings may be used.
• Roof: The roof is framed using 2x8's to build the rafters. 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: 2/12, this means that for every 2 inches of rise there is 12 inches of run horizontally.
• Roof Overhang: 6" on the sides and 6" on the front and back.
• Roofing: Low slope PBR metal roofing or 25 year asphalt shingles using the manufacturers low slope installation instructions.
• Windows: No windows shown on plans but you can install windows using the instructions in the included How To Build A Shed Manual.
• Trim: 1x4 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. A stronger roof can be constructed by installing the roof rafters at 16" on center and / or using 5/8" O.S.B. instead of the specified 7/16".
