Its not hard.
Go to Lowes and buy a basic framing book. Its going to givw you the common measurement s for various spans. As mentioned I would go 10' walls. You may be able to hang your yaks from the rafters. I would build all my walls and rafters on the ground and put them in place as units. If you dont have a framing nailer rent one. Yoy going to need a compressor but you can rent that too.

Honestly..... if you only going to use it to build a shed then once in a great while. Hit up a pawn shop for one.

unless you really want to build it yourself, just get some mexicans to come throw you up a metal shed.

I know you said you have limited room, but build as big as you can.
They fill up fast.
I have a 24x30-full of shite.
And go with the slab floor. Cement don't rot.
Make sure and run some pvc lines fo water and power before pooring the slab.

If you are serious about hanging yaks. build it really tall. maybe 12 foot. I built a 20 x 30 with a 10 foot lean to. Only mistake I should have built 12 foot walls.

im not talking about the crappy metal shed that you buy in a box at lowes.
you could do a 12x21x10 boxed eave building with 12 gauge metal and a 8x8 rollup door for a little less than 3k.

Got ya, but I dot have that kind of room. I'm in the middle of shreveport on a tiny lot.

McElroy Metal should have some decent priced metal/door material if you want to go that route.

I built an 8x8 last summer that was basically just a copy of the pre-fab ones at home depot. Cost about the same as if I would have just bought it from them, but I was able to build it much sturdier. I used treated plywood instead of OSB, actually framed up walls instead of the cheap way they set it up, etc. Plus it was nice to do it all myself. Very easy. I didnt have a lot of carpentry experience and did almost everything by myself. Just got someone to help my hang the exterior paneling.

Nope, my dad, bro and I can handle this job..

Bro, your anti immigrant hate is causing some small Mexican child to go hungry tonight. Think about that.
