basic shed building Q

kansascats · 2011-09-04T07:18:07+00:00

I'm about to build a 12' x 8' gambrel roof shed.I have some 4x4x8' PT for the skids. I was going to then put 5, 12' -2x'4s spaces 24" OC atop those for the floor joists with an 8' 2x4 tocap off the ends. The load bearing walls will be along the 12'side. Is this OK? Or should I start with 12' skids and then atopthose run 8' joists?I guess the question is -- does it make any difference which sidesupports the load bearing walls? I have the 8' 4x4s, so I'm trying touse then vs having to buy 12' ones.
