Building Roof Mini-Trusses | 2-Story Japanese Garden Shed! 🏯🛠️

Welcome back to Building Modern! In this exciting installment of our 2-story Japanese Garden Shed series (Part 23), we embark on a crucial phase of our shed build: building the roof supports or trusses! 🌿🔨
Watch as we meticulously cut Pressure Treated 2x4's, create a specialized jig for precision assembly, and skillfully put together these essential components of our shed's roof structure. To ensure longevity and beauty, we apply a solid stain to protect the supports from the elements and oil our cedar with tung oil for a stunning finish. 🎨🌲
Join us on this creative journey as we share invaluable DIY tips and techniques, empowering you to tackle similar projects with confidence. Building our 2-story Japanese Garden Shed has been a labor of love, and each step brings us closer to our vision of a serene, modern oasis in the heart of our garden. 🌸🏯

Thanks everyone for watching! We wish we could have included actually attaching these mini-trusses to the shed in this video … let’s just say it didn’t quite go to plan (in a kind of good way?) … we’ll share more in next week’s video. 😁
Let us know if you have any questions or what you think - we’d love to hear from you! 🙂

My gosh it's been so hot recently, but it looks as though you're still making great progress! Also, Tightbond 3 enjoyers!

Thank you!

The shed is coming along amazingly! I could see myself living in there, haha. Somehow, I feel it's too nice to be just a shed though, something more like a studio looking out into the yard with your pond. Oh right, you don't have a pond yet....hint hint. Great job!!

Thanks!! To be fair, we are using the shed as practice for future projects. We have some pretty big plans that we hope to get to sharing soon (once we finish this shed). So, hopefully, if this looks good - wait until you see what we build next! 😎
Ha, and we have had several neighbors stop by and ask if it’s a ADU/tiny house. We’ve had to tell them nope - just a storage shed, but if we’re going to make it, why not make it look good? 😁
Thanks for watching & following along. We may end up putting in a water feature - we’ll have to see. It would be down the road a bit as we’re itching to move onto our next big projects first. We appreciate the suggestion!! 😊
