How to stop racking of an extended shed
Hi all I’ve just recently raised my old dog house which wasn’t in use anymore into a storage shed . The old shed was the top part which is already finished with the feather edge board, bottom is the new walls which I have built However I’ve got a bit of an issue where the front of the shed where the door is is racking (swaying quite a bit) I’m aware that the wall is quite small and the door I’ll be installing is pretty much the size of the entire front side Is there anyway I can stop this racking? I have put diagonal bracing where I can and will put some more but it’s a bit difficult on the front side because the door will be there The shed doesn’t rack from the back or the sides, just the front where obviously it’s very empty I don’t mind opting for a smaller door I’m just trying to make this work Building is now around 2.4m dead on including the shed base Thanks in advance submitted by /u/skyraider1071 [link] [comments]
