Thank you, we got our roofing materials from Lowes if that helps!
I stood my 2x6's on their sides and spiked them down good to the top of my walls. I have a 10 inch overhang on front and back. Then added boards 2 feet apart then screwed my metal roofing to it. My eves are all open and covered well in hardware cloth to keep predators out.
This was the simplest explanation that actually made sense to me. LOL Thanks! Not sure why all of the other explanations didn't click...but this certainly did! haha
couple of things:To answer the original question, my plans call for all walls of the same height, and then place diagonally cut rafters (cut a 2x8x8 on a diagonal lengthwise) to create the slant.
I didn't want to struggle with a diagonal cut, so I made my front wall 1' taller than my rear wall and laid 2x4s skinny side up. I'll place my roofing material across 4 purlins placed horizontally across those rafters.
Don't have a picture now, but I'm using The Garden Coop plans and the net is rife with pics of the finished project using their method. A previous respondent is using the wall-differential method and has included pictures of what i'm doing.
Slanted roof must start with two different wall heights, then you can set the rafters for the sheathing. Going into a lot of detail
would take a while so if you have more questions, ask away.
