Built a small shed and got the slope just right without any leaks or weird pooling. Curious if anyone else tackled something similar and how it turned out?
"Built a small shed and got the slope just right without any leaks or weird pooling."
Nice job getting the slope dialed in—it's always satisfying when something like that works out. I tackled something similar last spring, building a lean-to shed against the side of my garage. Thought I'd done all my homework, but man, roof angles can be deceptively tricky.
I remember spending way too long sketching it out and second-guessing myself about the pitch. Eventually, I settled on a slight angle that seemed right...but after the first heavy rain, I noticed some pooling near the lower edge. Nothing major, but enough to bug me. Ended up having to shim up one side slightly to get better runoff. It was a bit of a hassle, but thankfully no leaks or major issues since.
Did you find any particular resource helpful when figuring out your angle, or was it mostly trial and error? I watched a bunch of YouTube videos beforehand, but honestly, I think I learned more from just getting out there and tweaking things as I went along. Glad yours turned out clean on the first try—definitely something to feel good about.
Nice work getting that angle sorted—it can definitely be trickier than it looks. I went through something similar last year, and ended up having to redo part of mine after a storm. Glad yours held up right away, that's a solid win.
