Garden shed rafters


Here I am going over the plans.
I sketched out the floor plan and all four sides to make sure there was enough room for the doors and windows we have gotten for the building. Like always we had to think from the end and incorporate all the components of the building , from the wood supporting the rafters to the floor elevation.
Putting up the top 2X6 established the top line square & plum to the building as a whole. The rafters sit on top of them on 2 foot centers, meaning from the center of one board to the center of the next board it is 2 feet. This is the measurement for putting standard insulation in between the rafters. We will be putting in 19 R covered with black plastic.
