End bay of shed angled.

[Matt]

Want to extend a shed that my grandad put up to finish it off now we have knocked some old buildings down.
35 ft span with a 20ft lean to on. however the way the yard is and other sheds, i would like to extend the main frame by one complete bay, and the lean to by two bays and have effectively a angled end bay on the main span going from 15ft down to next to nothing.
I know it is not really cost effetive use of the steel and there would be a bit of waste on roof sheets but it would be the best fit for the space.
Any one done anything like this before?

I've done one angled shed whilst I've being on my own but where I used to work the gang I started on did all the complicated ones, must have done at least 10 angled sheds there

 

[Matt]

do they have to cut the steel twice or is there saws that can cut both angles in one go?

To cut the rafter end you mean?

 

[Matt]

yeah, or how do you get the required angle and pitch?

 

[RWG Contracts]

We cut the rafter straight and taper all the cleats for wall plates and side rails

This is something I need to do soon as well to finish a shed system off, the rafter would need cutting to match the pitch of the roof (the same as the rest of the rafters) and then again at the angle the shed is tapering at, would it not? or am I just over complicating it?

 

[Matt]

I see ao you put the column to suit the taper of the bay? So it would be following the line of the end wall instead of going straight arcoss with the others

the tapered rafters need cutting at a different angle to the straight ones and they are longer because they are rising in two directions ,the eaves angle will be double beveled if you want to keep the posts in line with the main building sounds complicated but its not if you need the angles working out i would be glad to help

HI Matt. Yes cutting the end bay at an angle can be done quite simply, we recently sent the attached kit building out for a customer down in the South West. He had to cut the corner off the new workshop to miss the existing roadway.

 

[Matt]

Similar to that. When your here possibly show you where i mean.

There's no doors in that shed!?!?!?

 

[JNP]

Dont worry its on the far side Sid.

My dad in his wisdom angled two bays on a shed,it was pain to clean out as you didn't have a straight wall to clean up against.

Knocking it down was the best end to it.
