    10x12. Started this in mid-July just picking away at it a little at a time. Had to do a lot of prep. It was on a decent slope, so had to bring in 8 yards of gravel and it's still not enough. Also the monopitch roof is sloped in that direction so that I can add solar panels later as it faces directly South. Ran out of time as we're getting snow again next week so I'll finish the roof with 26 gauge metal in the Spring.

    Looks great. I especially like the use of the angled braces. Did you use mortises and tenons on to install the braces?

    Only problem, I went out to my backyard and didn't see it. Did you accidentally build it at my neighbors house? She gets all the good stuff.

    :rofl: :lol:

    Thanks! Nope on the mortises and tenons. It's plenty solid enough without them in my opinion. I'll pull out the level in the spring to see if the average 3 foot snowload shifted anything.

    Good job sir, and if you've never had a woodshed before you'll love it.

    Nice looking wood shed. Looks like it should hold enough wood to get through a good part of winter. Congrats.
