I'm looking to build a new timber shed of around 10' X 20' I need to do it pretty fast so if anyone has any plans (mainly a cutting list) that would be great.
Planning won't be an issue as it's well within my boundary and over 2 metres from the house.
Not too bothered if it' pent (front to rear) or apex but pent would be an easier build.

I have built my own sheds many times before but that was many moons ago and I'm getting on a bit now, but still looking forward to the job. :)

I built an 18ft x 9ft shed recently.

I used:
Walls
100 x 50 studwork
18mm osb
Tyvek housewrap
50 x 25 battens
Featheredge

Roof
150 x 50
18mm osb

Floor
100 x 50
18mm osb

What you need depends on what type of building you want.

Its definitely worth using a breathable membrane, then battens for a 25mm cavity, then cladding.

Thst way the breathable membrane makes the walls weathertight and the cladding acts as the visual finish. Also a cavity behind the cladding will create airflow and space for rain to run out extending the lifespan of the cladding. Although expensive housewrap is very good -worth the money IMO
 
Thanks Notch7

The membrane sounds like a good idea, I'm building a garage with workshop space at the back and with the car being a classic I think I will put in some insulation as well.
Was yours a pent or an apex roof?
