Why not use just one Sketch? The Plan view of your shed. Extrude that Quadrilateral up to the height of the tip of your roof's pitch. Then considering your desired direction of fall modify that solid body.

one way to approach this.  adjust the parameter "rise" for the slope you want.  (rise=2 means a 2:1 roof pitch).

By that I mean in simple terms this approach. I created a sketch and offset a line that is parallel to the widest axis of the roof. Have you embarked on any staged learning for Fusion?roof.jpg

Based on those pics, 

Fully define your sketches, (only need 2 sketches)

one way, 

 

Solid > Create > Loft.  Select front wall to rear wall.

Solid > Create > Shell, set wall / roof thickness.

 

So many ways to get there, but not enough info on what you need from Fusion.

Whats in the top bodies folder?

 

Might help….

Here's another method using thin extrude and replace face commands:

as you have it drawn your roof won't be planner, it will be potato chip shaped.  Is that really what you want?

the model I attached previously has the lowest edge running horizontal and sloping up from that.  That's generally how it would be done in the construction, trade for good reason.
