Hi,
I'm about finishing up the frames (2x4s) for my 9x12 shed. I read the next
step is to put up 3/8 exterior plywoods then wall paper. I noticed quite
some places in the frame that they are not flat., some place even extrude
out 1/8 inch. How should I flat/surface the frames? How flat should they be?
Eric.
Hi Jack,
Thanks for the info.
Sorry for the typo for "wall paper". I actually don't know what kind paper
it is called. It's the black paper that's used as a water-proof layer.
Eric.

Some kind exterior plywood that's available from HD. Then may be 2 layers of
paint.
Do you have any recommendation on this (other material ...)?

Jack - it's white wallpaper. It so he can post about how much brighter the
shed is.

Called "tar paper", at least once-upon-a-time. <grin>

Eric,
1/8" is fine for a shed. Depending on what the final finish is you could
even be off by twice that much without much of a problem.
If you are really concerned plane off the high spots.
Why are you putting wallpaper in your shed?

That may be true, but I alway prefer to be brighter than my shed rather than
the other way around.
Same reason I don't paint fence posts.

And then what are you putting over the tar paper?

If it were my shed I'd skip the first layer of plywood.
You would see in the following order:
Studs, tarpaper, siding, primer, paint.

don't worry about an 1/8". You aren't building a piano. :)

1/8" should be fine for a shed. If it is more, it is either replaced, or
you can cut a saw kerf at a 45° angle on the convex side. Push the stud
straight, shim the kerf if necessary so it is tight when the stud is
straight, then nail through the kerf to hold it straight.
Consider using Hardi board over the felt (tar paper).
