i disagree with your advice to pick cordless tools (exception of screwdrivers), you work in a small woodshop so you have access to power everywhere and we have no idea how battery technology will evolve, it's a risk. Buying battery tools only make sense if you work outside for a customer.

Hi, what is the largest size it will cut? in official information it is 65mm, but in reality it will cut 70mm or maybe even more. How far did you manage to cut it? Regards.

what is better ? Hikoki C8FSHG or Ryobi ems216 ??? whats max hight of cut ??

What software do you use for the diagram at 5:00 ?

Great filming, production and personality - nice one!

1:03 @shed_time did you build the potting house or was that shop bought??

My toolbox is bigger than that tool "shed" 😂

I'd rather make it myself for £200-ish than some chintzy £160 one that's going to need constant maintenance because it uses substandard materials.

Great work Adam, better to build than to buy 👍🏼

Now I'd really like to see you make a beautiful shed on the cheap, using recycled materials. I recently discovered you can make aluminium roof tiles out of used drinks cans! What will people think of next, lol :)

Going to Wickes won’t of helped your costs lol

Great build, just found your RUclips channel and great diy content look forward to more videos.

Love your workshop which is a similar size to mine but yours is really well organised. As for building your own which will tend to be more expensive because your cladding will be a lot thicker and won't be full of the lowest grade framing which the pre packed one will be and you can build yours to an exact fit for purpose size if you wish

your shed will last much longer standing on bricks or a 3x2 slab.

This is brilliant and the costs is well worth it as you've used thicker cladding than on a normal low budget shed the door is also made of much better wood and wood thickness and you've finished it to quite a high standard considering your budget limitations and add to that the the companies who make these shed's buy the wood in bulk which is always a massive saving. So all in all you smashed it and if i were you I'd be sat with a nice cuppa feeling very smug lol nice work

cpould of used pallet wood for cladding saving £66.00

You can get a trade acc with wickes by sending in a photo of a buisness card and letterhead...easy to get off the net.

One other difference with a D.I.Y version is that when you tell your friends that you built it someone will possibly turn round and say. “That looks great. 😃 I could do with one of them. 🤔 Would you build me one? .. there’ll be a couple of pints in it. 🙂 “

Just bought an identical one to the B&Q shed for £59 on eBay. Every time I walk past it I’m reminded of the £140/weekend that I saved.

Im lucky got a timber merchant only ten minutes from my home, half the price of the big D.I.Y stores near me, my timber merchant will also cut timber to any size required ifyou needed that service, i noticed the other day they also supply some timber to some big D.I.Y stores near them.

Looks great and you should be happy with the result. I think as some others have said hauling your lazy bum out of bed (I am more referring to me on that comment 🙂) at 8am on a Sat morning to go to local timber merchant will always work out cheaper than B&Q or Wickes. However that said we all do it and that is why these stores exist 🙂

It might have cost £40 more to build your own but this build would be alot sturdier than a B&Q bought one. I bought a shed once to put the bikes in as my wife and i were fed up of covering them up all the time with a Tarp, and especially on windy days and these bikes were not cheap, anyway after putting it together it did the job with the bikes but i said to my wife that it won't last long, and sure enough the sides began to wobble and become loose, so i had to put some 2x2s in the corners and thicken up the door with some 4x1s, it was a good job that i had this wood on hand and it didn't cost me, but i told my wife that i'm gonna build my own for the bikes when this crappy one eventually falls apart.

This is great and exactly what I want to build myself! Do you have a parts / shopping list for the components you could share? and perhaps the outer dimensions? Thanks!

I built similar myself - even sourcing timber from a timber yard, it was more expensive than an off the shelf tool shed. But like yours, it will last way longer! For the roof, I used Osb, but then put a couple of thin manmade slates on top…(Cembrit Jutland Double Slate 600 x 600mm) - less than a fiver each and will outlast roofing felt 👍. Great vid - first time I’ve found your content - liked & subscribed 😊

Great build! Who cares if it cost a bit more. You spent this time perfecting your craft AND teaching countless others (like myself) how to start projects such as this. Thank you!

New subscriber. A brilliant video. Keep them coming.

Holy crap lumber in the UK is expensive!

I have to build something like this soon and this was super helpful! The other benefit to build over buy is that you can build the exact size you need rather than settling for what you can get your hands on Thanks!

Great build! I would hand over my money for your vesion without a doubt. Keep up the great work!

For rough constructions like the frame I use roof slats (40x60 mm) which cost me about 50 pence per meter. For tongue and groove cladding I pay 7 GBP per sqm (11 mm) or 9 GBP (15 mm)

Always informative & a great watch 💪. Thanks Adam

Well if it lasts twice or three times as long and cost 25% more, seems like the cheaper and better solution to me.

Sure you could do it better in some ways, but where is the fun in that. It looks way better than the store bought one, if you want to build it cheaper you have to recycle and find your wood on markt place where people often give it away as long as you pick it up. or use paletwood i go often to the dump and pickup old furniture or old deckwood that is still in good state, and i build all my furniture that i sell from that. and they look great . there is one thing you forgot to calculate in your 200 pound and is labour two days LOL you didn't had to use osb for the roof you might had cutoffs from something laying around and you could have used that the same as your floor. if you look at constructions sites they have often pieces of tarpaper left that you can take if you ask for it. Thde hardware you could have made yourself from wood or metall . it is just a choice. but for now you have a nice functional and charming looking shed for your garding tools, now it is time to put them to use and mowe your grass LOL wel done mate! good video

Great build mate, Very nice work. Id love to know how you built you potting greenhouse. Do you have any plans you could share?

Another great video. You can tell you really enjoy building.

I would definitely pay the extra than the B&Q Tripe😅 Good Job Buddy.

Loved the video just saying build quality yes home made definitely better to look at and will last longer overall.👍

We as diyers will never compete on price. We don't have buying power but they will never compete with us on quality. Ours will outlast anything they build. My shed will outlast theirs by at least X2. Now who's is the cheaper choice❓ Plus pride in what you've created is priceless. I've not bought a shed in decades. Now tell me what you've made isn't way better than a bought one. 👍😉😎

The average person also doesn't have the tools or the know-how to do this, so you have to factor in at least some additional cost for mistakes...and your time

You have a quality item, its £40 more expensive but you never would have got a quality, fit for purpose item that withstood time and variable weather conditions. Buying cheap is a false economy, most understand this logic I believe.

Last year i built my own shed. But i had little choice. My shed is an 'L' shaped shed that fits around the back and side of an existing garage. So one of the things you didn’t mention in built vs bought is that if you build your own, you can build it to your own exact specifications. Fit a certain space, be a certain height. Have the door face a certain way etc. Not always possible with a bought kit.

Could probably build an 8x4 shed for the same price with materials from a timber yard. Nobody ever wishes that they’d built a smaller shed! Neat build though. Subscribed 👍

Beautifully constructed, you paid a fraction more yes but nothing beats the feeling of being successful at a project like this, subscribed to your channel 😊

I recently looked into buying one of those sheds or similar from other retailers, and for every single one I looked at, the reviews were terrible! I was resigned to giving up on the idea as I knew i'd have to build it myself. Yet I didn't really know how, or if it would be too cost prohibitive. I might just give it a go now! Thank you.

Nice shed, was hoping you were going to explain what the two metal lengths are on the roof which run parallel down the length of the shed. Are they for some sort of lift ? Very interested if you can advise, many thanks.

It may be more expensive, but it will be sturdier, last longer and you have the satisfaction of knowing you built it 💪

Your summary was spot on - this isn't a true comparison from a cost perspective alone. Yours is far better quality than you'd get in the B&Q (or other cheap, mass-produced) version had you ordered that. The larch lap cladding would have been thinner and half of them would likely split as soon as you show them a nail, the felt would have been like tissue paper, and once it was put together you'd have probably had more gaps than the London underground. Your shed also looks far superior in terms of the little details and design. That's a great weekend project and that feeling of "I made that from scratch" is easily worth the time and slight extra cost. You've got a new sub here, looking forward to your next projects!

Build over buy everytime. Brilliant result, yours looks 10x better 👍

It really is worth comparing DIY store prices with your local timber yard. Last year I bought a quantity of T&G floorboards. B&Q wanted £4.32 per metre for 119mm wide boards 18mm thick and Wickes £3.83 per metre for the same. My local timber yard charged me £1.98 per metre for boards 125mm wide by 22mm thick. And I could pick the individual boards from the stack, avoiding any which were split or had excessive knots and all were pretty straight and flat, unlike what you find when you open the DIY store packs.

Stick to one measurement system - imperial or metric. It’s confusing using the two. Don’t get me wrong - I use both and often on the same job (yes, I’m that old!), but when you’re trying to explain it verbally, especially to younger audiences, they often only know one system. You’re English - use the metric system and let the Americans work it out from there. Also, try and stick to one format - you go from 2x4 to 3x2 . . . the English put the larger size first and Americans put the smaller size first. Yes, we can all easily figure out what you’re using, but again, inconsistency confuses things and distracts viewers from what you’re trying to tell us. Not meant to detract from your otherwise pretty good video, but hopefully as constructive criticism for future videos, which I look forward to watching.
