Shed Lumber Calculator
Framing lumber and sheathing counts for a shed, from our build engine. Pick a size and roof; the numbers below are what the engine buys for that configuration.
We don't publish a table for that combination yet. Try a different size or roof.
What this doesn't tell you
- Which board goes where, and at what length — that's the cut list.
- Openings, headers and their framing, which depend on your door and window placement.
- Local prices, delivery, waste factor, and anything your inspector asks for.
Counts come from the ShedBuilder.ai build engine at version 79ee7b7493db, published as a static table. Estimates for planning, not a construction document.
Common questions
- How much lumber do I need for a shed?
- It depends on the footprint, wall height, stud spacing and roof. Pick those above and the calculator shows the board counts by size and stock length that our build engine buys for that configuration.
- Does this include a cut list?
- No. These are aggregate board counts by stock length. Which board goes where, and at what length, is part of the plan set in the designer.
- Are the costs exact?
- No. The materials figure is a coarse range, not a quote. Local prices, delivery and waste vary too much for a national number to be exact.
