It is better to install the entrance door immediately. Doing it after the building is covered will be less convenient

A small shed can be attached to the shed to store bicycles, current gardening tools and other things that are needed during the day. A wash basin can also be hung here to rinse hands after office 365 data chores.

Laying logs

To obtain a durable floor, it must rest not only on the base frame, but also on the joists:

They are laid on top of the frame strapping with a minimum step of 75 cm and screwed onto metal brackets with self-tapping screws.
It is better to use tongue and groove boards or OSB boards as a floor.
To give the floor strength, the joists are placed parallel to each other along the short side of the building. The distance between them is 1 m.
To avoid sagging of the floor, additional brick blocks can be placed under the joists.
The floors in the barn can also be assembled from old pallets. They are laid on bricks and then connected together. Plywood is laid on top

How to build the simplest roof of a barn? For frame wooden buildings, it is enough to use a single-pitched version. To create such a roof, it is enough to make the front wall of the building 20-40 cm higher than the back. Thus, the height of the front wall will be 2.2-2.4 m, the back - 2 m.

Even before the stage of erecting the rafters in the barn, it is necessary to lay the floor - it will make the work much easier
