Use a miter saw to make the angle cuts to the rafters as shown in the diagram. Due to the shed s design a significant amount of rain runs off the rear of the shed.

Use 2 4 lumber for the rafters. Now it s time to put the roof. Take this 2x4 and snap a chalk line down the middle of it on the flat side. Use 2 6 lumber for the bottom rafter.

For slanted roof sheds overhangs add character and facilitate proper drainage. At this point you have 4 walls attached to the floor. Simply installing soffit under your shed roof overhang allows air to flow in and out while providing a physical barrier. Sometimes the rafter will have a tail and extend out past the wall so that you have a soffit or overhang.
