At the dacha you can’t do without a shed. Materials and working tools are stored here, and some settle in it for a while while the house is being built. The 3x6 format is the most popular. Most often it is done with pitched roof. Order a project outbuilding It’s a very expensive pleasure, it’s better to make the drawings yourself. And from our article with photos and videos you will learn how to build this building with your own hands.
Choosing a place for a construction site
Since the barn is an auxiliary building, special architectural delights are not needed here, but it should not stand out in the overall design of the site. Optimal options 2:
- adjoin close to the house;
- take it to the edge of the site.
When choosing the location of the building, you should proceed from the following considerations:
- The soil at the construction site should be the least suitable for laying out beds. Perhaps there is a place where nothing grows because of strong shade or with such a relief that it is impossible to place anything else there except a shed.
- TO utility room there must be convenient access.
- The shed must be placed at such a distance from the work site that it is not far to carry heavy tools and equipment used on the site.
There are quite a lot of options for buildings, let’s consider some that are not very complex.
Attention! When constructing a utility unit, the presence of drawings or at least sketches made by hand, required condition. Without this, it will be difficult for you to correctly determine the location for the construction of the future shed; you will not be able to calculate how much material you need to purchase.
Frame shed made of OSB boards
Having cleared and leveled the site according to the hydraulic level, they begin to construct the foundation. The easiest way is to lay it around the perimeter foundation blocks. Can be done columnar foundation, having dug holes under it and arranging a pillow at their bottom, place it vertically on it ready-made blocks. The second option is to make the base yourself by pouring concrete mixture. Further:
- assemble the lower trim;
- treat with an antiseptic;
- lay the floor from rot-proof boards;
- install the first frame post, secure it with metal corner, attach a temporary spacer for rigidity;
- attach an OSB sheet to the stand and base;
- install the second rack, secure it to the previously installed sheet;
- remove the spacer and repeat everything;
- assemble directly on site top harness from timber;
- install the structure on the racks and secure it;
- assemble the truss structure;
- attach the sheathing;
- cover the shed with corrugated sheets or other material.
All that remains is to paint the building and make steps.
Advice. It is better to attach the sheets to the bottom of the frame, retreating 5 cm. To do this, attach a block, the height of which is 50 mm, to the bottom trim. The sheet is rested on it, secured, and the control bar is moved further.
3x6 shed with a pitched roof from what was found
Outbuilding with pitched roof It’s not difficult to build, it’s inexpensive, especially if you use existing leftover building materials, it looks interesting. To build such a building with your own hands, you only need to have minimal carpentry experience.
Before we begin construction, we will collect tools and materials in one place. You can do everything manually, but if you have a screwdriver, electric planer and a jigsaw, grinder, drill, construction will be completed 2 times faster. The material you need to have is:
- The beam is 15x10 cm. The frame is constructed from it.
- Edged boards 5x15 cm, 4x15 cm for slings and sheathing, respectively.
- Unedged boards. The lathing is made from them.
- Roofing material.
- Waterproofing.
- Ingredients for preparing concrete mass.
- Self-tapping screws, nails.
- Ruberoid.
A barn like this lightweight materials, but it also needs a foundation. The most rational decision- columns laid to a depth of 0.4-0.5 m. Having considered all the nuances, we begin to work:
- mark the outline of the future structure using a tape measure;
- drive pegs into the corners and pull the rope;
- mark the places where it is planned to install poles;
- holes are made with a drill;
- formwork is made on top, protruding 0.2-0.3 m;
- arrange a cushion of gravel and sand, insert reinforcing bars;
- fill;
- let stand for 4 days;
- the wood is treated with an antiseptic composition;
- remove the formwork from the pillars;
- cover the head with double folded roofing material;
- a frame is assembled from a timber and tightened with staples;
- install the racks, checking the verticality with a level;
- strengthen the vertical beams with the help of temporary slopes, while the racks of the front wall must be higher to ensure an average roof slope of 17 degrees;
- install logs with a distance of 0.6-1.2 m and lay the floor;
- The ceiling is placed on vertical supports, securing the beams with brackets.
Important! Optimal distance between the elements of the columnar foundation - 120-150 cm. Their number depends on the dimensions of the barn.
Roof
When the frame is assembled, they begin to build the roof:
Advice. Step between elements rafter system from 0.6 to 0.8 m. This means that for a building 3x6 m you need to stock up on eight rafter legs.
- If you plan to make a roof from galvanized iron, then you can do without lathing. For a 3x6 shed, 2 sheets are enough, but they need to be laid with an overlap.
- When covering a shed with edged boards, an overlap of about 25 mm should be made. To prevent unpainted areas from appearing after the wood dries, better painting perform before sheathing.
- Paint consumption, if applied in 2 layers, is about 15 liters for a barn dimensions of 3x6 m.
- On average, it takes 7 days to build a shed of this type.
- The installation of a single-slope structure requires 30% less money than for a 2-slope structure.
- If one wind direction prevails at your dacha, then the option with a pitched roof suits you more than others.
Building a simple shed with your own hands is a feasible task. The main thing is not to forget to step back the legal 3 m from the neighbor’s fence and 5 m from the road, but there are no other restrictions.
Shed with a pitched roof: video
I present to your attention a photo report on the construction of a 3 by 5 meter shed made of wood.
The foundation for the barn is columnar. To begin with, I dug holes about 800 mm deep (10 in total). Then he took the roofing material and twisted it into a pipe with wire (fasten it as securely as possible).
It turned out like this:
Pour the concrete foundation:
The whole day was spent preparing the foundation. By the end of the day this is the picture we got:
The diameter of the posts is 190 mm.
After the foundation hardened, I began to make the lower frame of the barn:
The lower harness was treated with an antiseptic.
Yes, by the way, 100x50 mm timber was used for the frame. Assembling the rest of the frame:
It's time to tackle the roof.
The roof will be hip. Here is an explanatory picture to make it more clear:
Photos during the process of assembling the rafter system:
Closer photo:
The roof is almost ready:
Made the roof sheathing:
Corrubite was chosen as the roof covering.
I laid the roof and began to sheathe the barn with a block house under the timber:
I installed windows and doors, and this is how I got this nice little shed:
Construction took about two weeks.
I’m also thinking about covering the bottom of the shed with something like flat slate, to close concrete pillars. Well, you can add steps.

The frame of the shed is built on the foundation that we prepared in the last stage. We will use beams and boards for the frame.
Bottom frame
The bottom of the shed box is the bottom band. As a rule, 100 x 100 mm or 150 x 150 mm are used for the bottom belt depending on the size of the stall.
You can simply place the strap for the bottom strap next to each other:
But in this case you must level the level using the panels (see photo above).
This is a cumbersome and inaccurate solution. It is better to cut the wood to half thickness and install it carefully as follows:
Secure the side with a nail (preferably galvanized) or a self-tapping screw.
Here are some larger shots to give you an idea:
Another option for a lower belt is an app. The connection in this case is made using angles:
Be sure to treat the bottom straps (or better yet, the entire wood) with antiseptic.
Thus, the wood will be protected from rot, insects and fire.
Main frame of the barn
Vertical posts are attached to the lower belt. This may be a smaller beam (eg 50 x 50 mm) or a plate (eg 100 x 50 mm). The easiest way to attach vertical stands to the bottom tape at the metal corners:
To strengthen the structure (so that the barn is not caught, but stands firmly), trusses (jeeps) are used - these are slabs that are attached to the frame diagonally:
The “hardness” of the frame also depends on the size of the stall.
For small sizes there are literally four racks and several inputs:
The greater the number of stands, the greater:
The main thing to remember is that in this case there is no single option.
We're building a sunroof
Everyone does what they like, so create a frame in such a way that it is permanent and reliable. And how much it will cost, etc. It doesn't matter.
All connections in the frame should be installed on the metal corners using screws - this is the best option.

The 3×6 shed is one of the most popular formats. I have already published one report on the construction of a cave from 3 to 6 meters, now I decided to add another one. This time he flew over the roof.
First, the foundation. Since the site is located on the Volga-Mati coast (upper area, and below - river sand), he decided to apply a concrete base. Copied caves 600x600x600 mm in the amount of eight pieces.
Warehouse with our own hands - we build a cheap and reliable structure
I mixed the concrete and poured it into the prepared hole. The reinforcement was installed in the concrete (vertically upward) to allow installation in the warehouse.
The platform was made of brick - brick, the next day he measured the level and added where needed cement mortar, so it was smooth.
Once dry, he began assembling the lower frame of the shed.
For this purpose, a plate measuring 50x200x6000 mm was used.
The vertical frames of the frame are made of 50 × 100 mm panels. Here's a photo of the final shed frame:
As for the roof: in 8 for 3 there were 8 rafters.
I took cars 50x150x5000 mm. The straps are made and attached to the frame with nails. You can fix it and metal corners, but it seemed more convenient. Here is the diagram for attaching the rafters:
But the picture of the rafts is closer:
No rings were made since the galvanized roof is 2500 mm.
There were 2 zinc plates on the roof with a slight overlap.
Covering the suction surface from the edge 25×150 mm. The overlay is approximately 2.5 cm thick. Secure with 90 mm galvanized nails. The erased board immediately decided in front of the skin. It seemed that it was easier. And when the board is lit, you won't see any non-existent areas.
In front of the bastard, he first tried the door, and then began to translate the recording.
If anyone is interested in painting with Azure color, impregnation V33.
They bought it from Leroy and left fifteen liters in the barn. I used 2 layers. The color seems to be bad.
And here are the last photos of the 6 by 3 meter barn:
The location of the stables is about a week. Winter villa was ok, no problems.

The first step is to prepare the foundation. The easiest way is to make a columnar foundation from brick, as we wrote earlier. During the construction of this barn, a concrete foundation was prepared.
Features of the construction of a barn with a pitched roof measuring 3x6 m at the dacha
For the foundation, holes were made with a depth of 800 mm and a diameter of 200 mm. For the formwork, twisted roofing felt was used, which protruded 500 mm above ground level. The fittings were welded from three rods. Final stage foundation - concreting. Use a hydraulic level to ensure the foundation is level. And here is the finished foundation:
Barn frame made of timber
A 100x100 mm beam was taken for the frame.
To ensure that the frame is reliable and does not wobble, a truss is needed. Truss (from Latin firmus - strong) allows you to save geometric shapes barn. A 100×50 mm board was used as a truss (in the photo of the board dark color- this is a farm).
Barn roof 6×3m
The next stage is lathing the roof of the barn. I used unedged board 100x25 mm. Corrugated sheets were chosen as the covering.
Sheets of 2500 mm were purchased. Since we don’t need this length, the sheets were cut to 2000 mm. The remains of the cut sheets were later used to cover the foundation of the barn (see last photo).
For the ridge and ebbs, straight sheets of iron were cut and bent as required.
The sheets are attached with an overlap (15-20 centimeters) using self-tapping screws.
Last steps
The outer edges of the timber and bottom harness barns were impregnated with waste to protect the wood from rotting. The frame of the shed was upholstered with 150x25 boards with a slight overlap (approximately 20mm).
The next step is painting. A walnut colored impregnation was used.
The first layer was applied with a brush, then two more layers with a spray gun. You can see for yourself what happened:
A 40x100 board was laid on the floor of the barn. The bottom of the barn, as I wrote above, was sealed with the remains of corrugation.
A door was made from the remains of a 100x25 board.
Installed the door, painted and installed windows. Here's what we ended up with:
All that's left is to finish the steps and you're done! I worked alone and only on weekends. There was no construction experience. In the end, building a 6x3 shed on my own took two and a half months.
Looking back, I will say what was done wrong:
- It’s better to take ondulin for the roof - it would be much easier than fiddling with corrugated sheets;
- It is also easier to make a pitched roof. Although the gable one looks more beautiful;
- I decided not to buy the low tides, but made them myself. Due to inexperience, the tides turned out to be high; it was possible to reduce them by another 5 centimeters.
Estimate for the construction of a 6×3 shed
To give you an idea of how much it will cost to build a barn with your own hands, I came up with the following estimate:
- Cement - 1500 rubles;
- Ruberoid - 530 rubles (2 rolls);
- Nails - 1500 rubles;
- Beam 100x100x6000 mm - 6,750 rubles (18 pieces);
- Beam 100x50x6000 mm - 2200 rubles (12 pieces);
- Rough board 25x100x6000 mm - 2860 rubles (45 pieces);
- Board 25x150x6000 mm - 12,500 rubles (90 pieces);
- Board 40x100x6000 mm - 5000 rubles (33 pieces);
- Corrugated sheets 2500mm - 7000 rubles (14 pieces);
- Iron sheets 2500mm - 3000 rubles (6 pieces);
- Walnut impregnation - 2800 rubles;
- White paint - 700 rubles;
- Door lock - 220 rubles;
- Door hinges - 180 rub.
TOTAL: 46,740 rubles.
I didn't count the windows because I already had them. If you add, for example, PVC windows, the barn will cost about fifty thousand.
Read another report on building a 6x3 m shed.
I present to your attention another shed made of timber measuring 4.5 by 3 meters. Some of the photographs, unfortunately, were lost, so I will try to describe all the incomprehensible moments in words.
For the foundation, 9 holes 500x500 mm with a depth of about 600 mm were dug. Sand is poured into the holes, compacted and spilled with water. I laid it on the sand paving slabs 400x400 mm, on tiles - foundation blocks (FBS) 200x200x400 mm. The blocks were leveled.
Bottom frame made of timber 100x100x4500 mm (3 pieces) - for the long side and timber 100x100x3000 mm (2 pieces) for the short side. I made cuts on the timber so that the bottom trim was even (see the corners of the trim in the photo below). First we lay a 4.5m beam, then a 3m beam on top and fasten the whole thing with nails.
I immediately laid the floor - for this I took a thin 25mm board (looking ahead, I’ll say: don’t repeat my mistake. Take a thicker board so that the floor doesn’t “walk”).
The frame was assembled from 40mm boards. He collected it on the ground, then lifted it and nailed it with nails. See the result for yourself in the photographs:
It's time to move on to the roof. There were no particular difficulties here: I assembled the roof frame, made the sheathing and laid ondulin.
The walls were lined with clapboard:
And the view from the inside:
At the same time I inserted windows (made them small and taller so that no one could get in):
By evening the shed lining was ready:
