It is important that your door fits like a glove on its frame. Take into account the small space that your hinges will occupy. You don t want a shed door that is not leveled. The top half may either be hitting the frame and there s a gap on the lower half, or vice versa. Not only will you not be able close your door and lock it properly, but you can also cause damage to your door frame. Also, you need to check with your local planning and zoning commission about your plans and the dimensions of your brick shed. Step 2. Be sure to clean the area where you plan to build your brick shed. Clear it of any debris, roots, rocks and weeds. Also make sure that there are no pipes, cables, wires running underneath. You may think that having a fairly good slope and enough driving space would be enough, that isn t the case. Many of these machines have an undercarriage and can just as easily ground over the threshold of the door. Six inches of space under both sides of your door opening will allow you to have an easier time to take your machinery in and out. It is also very difficult to level and create framing for your partitions. But, for pole style barn sheds this is already acceptable. In fact, if the dirt floor is dry just merely placing smashed pea gravel of about six inches would suffice. To some, just merely placing foundation blocks and covering them with wood flooring would already help in keeping the floor off the ground. These reasons come to one conclusion though, to store their belongings and to protect them, plus, to provide extra space for their homes. Whether it be for your garden tools or some of the stuff that has been lying round your home for ages, a lean to shed is one of the most effective, and affordable ways of keeping them and protecting them as well. The wood of course is your most single important material. You also need tools like hammer, saw, nails, hinges, roof tacks and shingles. Based on your plans, measure your wood and cut them to size. If you re using a concrete foundation, prepare your cement. With any structure, you always build starting from the bottom.
