Full material list for a timber shed — floor, framing, cladding, roof sheathing, felt and fixings — from the shed size and roof style.
This gives a complete material list for a timber-framed shed: floor joists and base sheets, wall studs and cladding, plus roof sheathing and felt. Framing is based on 400 mm (16 in) centres and sheets are standard 8 × 4 ft boards. Add about 10% for offcuts and order door, window and fixing packs separately.
Studs at 400 mm (16 in) centres are standard for sheds and give a strong frame for cladding and lining.
Allow roughly 10% extra on sheet goods and timber for cuts, plus a separate budget for door furniture, felt nails, screws and treatment.
A pent (single-slope) roof uses slightly less material and is simpler to build; an apex roof gives more headroom and better water run-off.
Yes — a level, firm base such as concrete, paving slabs or a timber frame on bearers keeps the shed dry and square. The estimator covers the floor structure.
An apex shed roof is usually 15–30°, while a pent (single-slope) roof needs at least a 10° fall so rainwater runs off.
