Before I DIY, I plan to build a small lean to style shed to store my UTV. The dimensions of the UTV are approximately 4x8 so planned to build 8x8 or 8x10 at the max. I have a bunch of reclaimed barn tin that isn't perfect but is free for the roof.
For a barn of this size would 4-4x4 posts suffice in the corners with 2x4 joists and 1x4s across to attach the tin, or do I need to step it up? Cheap is important, but it must hold. Was goin to bury 10' posts 3' and 2' to give the appropriate slant?
I also have a bunch of old barn wood in bad shape. If I added a few 1x4 runners to the sides could I use the barn wood for siding, or would 16ga nails not be enough?
