Build a Tool Shed Series: Building a Gable-End Wall, Pt. 1
While simple to accomplish, this advanced technique of framing and siding a wall before raising is a real time saver
Rick Arnold makes framing and building a gable-end wall easy in this episode of How to Build a Tool Shed. Using an outline of the shed roof created for building trusses, Rick can then determine the length of the gable-end studs. From there, it’s smooth sailing. The already built deck floor can be used as a building surface to station pieces of the wall in place as they’re hammered in. The episode also covers how to correctly cut and attach wall siding, as well as how to make space for a window to allow sunlight into your shed.
