THE SITE & THE BUILDING

Groundwork first.
Then framing on site.

The site was graded and covered with compacted gravel. Concrete pier blocks and pressure-treated runners support the shed above the ground.

We assembled the wall and roof framing on site, then fitted structural sheathing and a weather-resistant barrier. James Hardie lap siding and a black metal roof complete the exterior.

ON-SITE CONSTRUCTION

THE COVERED ENTRY

A gabled porch.
A timber ramp.

The porch adds a landing 6 feet 8 inches wide and 4 feet deep in front of the double doors. Its front-facing gable meets the main roof at two valleys, with pressure-treated posts supporting the entry roof.

A pressure-treated ramp connects the landing to the yard. Inside, linoleum flooring covers the floor while the wall and roof framing remain exposed.
