Outbuilding Walls Not Plumb - Is it OK to Leave?

[ILikeDIYS]

I just noticed the outbuilding I'm building walls are side-to-side out of plumb. Meaning that if you stand in front of it from the outside and look straight on both left and right walls lean to the right.

I noticed this when I was cutting out the purple sound panel and the top ended up being 69cm wide whilst the bottom needed to be cut back to 68cm. So about 1cm difference across a 2m range.

Wall on other side is sloping in same direction:

Is it acceptable to leave it like this because I can't think of any way to straighten them now. That back room behind the door is all finished AKA plastered and painted... everything is done. I only have access to the framing in this front room. The roof is also pitched and the whole structure would be difficult to move.

Thanks.

You knew it was out of plumb before you put roof on, then was the time to sort it out, or did you damage your car trying.
Just leave it as it is now, it won't be noticeable.

I had that 1cm out of plumb in a door frame - that showed cuz it was A shaped. Hadn't bothered any other owners since 1960

Best thing to do in these circumstances is, don't stand in front of it.

It'll irritate you massively every time you look at it but it won't fall down & its far too late to try and do anything about it.
