Thank you good sir for making it plain, simple, honest, direct and to the point. That is one thumbs up well earned. I sure wish I could email you a beer. Have a blessed day.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I recently bought a 12x12 shed. Using your video I followed it by the book and now have a nice sturdy loft. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Glad I could help!
Man thank you!
You bet!
Wow !!! Great diy video. Love the "jack studs". Simple, easy but sufficient!. Thank you , watching from the PHILIPPINES 🌴
Thank you!
Wow great job - nice a sturdy. Going to use this method for my loft - though I almost fainted when I saw how expensive wood has gotten!
Yes I agree, the price of everything right now is unbelievable including lumber. Thanks for stopping by!
I like this better than I was planning with my loft. The jack studs are the way to go. Glad I found this video. Great job
Thank you. These lofts are very strong IMO. Have fun with your project Ben.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 thank you again. I actually just started building this jack stand supported loft yesterday with my wife. One beam up so far. Very solid and will only get better with more cross beams and the deck.
Very nice!
We're the jack studs 8' tall?
@carolcoonrod3932 - No...The jack studs are as tall as they need to be to put the loft joists on top of and have the loft floor at the height you want it. Hope that makes sense.
Love it. Pretty straight forward instructions. This is how I will make my loft in my new shed.
I wish you the best with your project.
Nice Job!
Thanks for the visit
Perfect!!! Im doing mine in the next month! Excellent jack studs!!!!
I wish you the best with your project!
Nice! I don’t think they will be going anywhere. I did a couple of similar lofts in my sheds. I built the later ones more toward the center, so you can access them from either side. Storage=happy!
Very cool!
Outstanding
Excellent! Very helpful. Thank you for posting it.
You're very welcome!
Fantastic! Following this to a “T” for my build! Thanks for this!
Awesome! I wish you the best with your porject!
I have a 12x16 shed and did the exact same thing.
Thank you for posting this! Im teaching myself to build and this is very helpful :)
Glad it was helpful! I wish you the best with your project!
Just did this for my 10x16 Shed. I have two windows to work around & I ended up having 5ft lofts instead of 4ft.
I copied all the steps & lofts are very sturdy. I didn't have a high pitch but I have 8ft wall height so I dropped down ~10 inches then added the loft.
Excellent!
You guys sure do great work and saved yourself a bunch of money. This shed is so nice and strong. Thank you for the great videos. Same size I need to build before it gets raining bad here in Washinton State. Our 1500 sq ft house does not have much storage at all and garage is to it's limit
Thanks Jason 👍
I'm going to build a 12' x 24' shed with a 4' loft on both ends I was wondering how did you do your trusses for your roof I'm going to use all metal for my siding and roof
This video should give you more detail on how we built the trusses. ruclips.net/video/ifZhgWdcyqo/видео.html
Perfect video for me! My shed is almost exactly the same as yours, except my rood is 12/12
Perfect!
Excellent video. I watched 4 on this project and came back to yours are the template. I appreciate the time & effort. Headed for the lumber now at Home Depot. I'm going to add a window on the front of the upper loft as well. I'm going to see if you have any videos on that. Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
Loves this video, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great idea, I'm doing this....
Great!
You make me want to build a shed
LOL 👍
This is a great video and will be very helpful for me when I add a loft to my shed this summer.
Question: the video showed you putting the 1/2" plywood on top (two pieces). And then it showed you laying another 1/2" plywood on top of them. Is that what you did - put two 1/2" layers on top of each other? It was the only part of the video I wasn't sure of. Thanks. 👍
Thank you and I wish you the best with your project. I only put one layer of 1/2" plywood on the top for the shelf. I had to use two pieces because my loft is 12' wide. One 8' sheet and one 4' sheet to cover the entire loft with one layer of 1/2" plywood.
Ok, thanks for clarifying, and thanks for the quick response.
Thanks for all info
You're welcome
De lujo gracias ingeniero
Thanks for stopping by
"thank you"👋😎
Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for the info!
Any time! Thanks for stopping by.
Nice work, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Could you have set the 2x6’s on top of the sheds wall top plates instead of under the top plates? Just wondering out loud? Good job either way.
Yes you could set the 2x6's on top of the double top plate but you would have to cut them at the angle of the roof on the ends. I think this would take away quite a bit of the strength though.
I did basically this except I used 2 x 4 which I realized is a mistake. I don’t know if I’d trust it to hold me climbing around up there lol. I’m hoping it’s at least enough to hold our Christmas decor and stuff that’s not too heavy
Awesome!
Thanks!
Nice...
Thank you! Cheers!
Great tutorial. I’m building a loft in my 12 foot wide shed exactly the same as this one. Did you find yourself having to change anything about this build after a while due to the weight of your stored totes up on top?
No, I haven't changed anything. The lofts are strong and holding up well. I wish you the best with your project and thanks for stopping by.
had to give you a like for this video. gave me some good ideas. thanks
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey bud, I didn’t look at all the comments yet , but I just want to know what was your roof pitch? Awesome video by the way.
Ok 10/12 , just saw
Great job
Thank you
I was wondering how you built the rafters on your shed this is the width I want mine will just be longer
I just looked up an online truss calculator to figure board length and a speed square for the angles. I used an 8/12 pitch for extra storage in the lofts. This video shows a little more detail on how I built the rafters. ruclips.net/video/ifZhgWdcyqo/видео.html

I wish you the best with your project!
Next time put the farthest beam first, then keep adding from that point. You wont have to work around beams.
If i can see daylight, squirrels have a play ground
Great video love it. How much weight do you think each loft can hold?
Thanks Jason. That’s a good question but I honestly don’t know.
Load ratings for dimensional lumber are readily available on the internet. That's what architects and structural engineers use to design stuff.
Pekná práca, palec hore :)
I love this so much! This is EXACTLY what we want to do and these are the exact dimensions of our shed, down to the roof pitch and all. Our issue is that on the front wall, we have a 3x3 window under each loft end on the front wall. Any ideas for a workaround there? Also, what type of roof support do you have? We have a collar tie (?) just over half way up each truss and I’m hoping to raise them (not remove them) over the loft ends for more head room. But I’m not exactly sure if they serve the purpose of both collar and rafter tie because of where they are positioned… got lots to figure out.
Oh I see.. you have the collar ties at the top, sandwiched between plywood. They also seem to be 2x6s. Ours are only 2x4s.
I can't help on the window situation without actually being there to see what you're actually working with. I didn't use any collar ties on mine because I wanted as much room in the lofts as possible. Collar ties help prevent the trusses from spreading and pushing out the tops of the walls if there is a heavy load on the roof such as snow. When I installed the loft joists they do the job of the collar ties and prevent the top of the walls from being pushed out by the trusses if there is a heavy load on the roof. The result is more head room in the lofts and no worries about the tops of the walls being pushed out from a heavy load on the roof. We do get some snow here but nothing that will be so heavy that it's a concern on our shed roof IMO. Sounds like your situation would be the same as ours but I don't know what your area is like with snow load so you'll have to decide on that for yourself.
A lot of people in the video comments have told me my roof is going to collapse because I didn't use collar ties. What they don't realize is the area I'm in and the potential snow load. Also apparently they don't understand that the loft joists do the same job as a collar tie but with the added benefit of more space in the loft for storage.
Hope this helps you out and I wish you the best with your project!
We don't have collar ties at all. The peak of the trusses are glued and nailed together and then sandwiched between the particle board on each side. You should be able to see detail of that in the video.
Our shed has been up for about a year and a half now (I think). I don't see any bowing or pushing out on the tops of the walls. I'm convinced that our roof structure is plenty strong for our location.
I just bought a 10 x 12 I am doing the same
Awesome! I wish you the best with your project.
I’m new to woodworking and you made this look easy! I will be doing this to my shed. Did you use 2in nails??
I used about a 1-1/2" nail for the plywood and a 3" nail for the framing.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 thank you!
You are welcome, I wish you the best with your project.
I was thinking of doing something similar, but with ledger boards to hold up the loft joists. I hadn't thought of adding jack studs. Do you think one method is superior to the other?
I think the jack stud method is probably stronger but most likely overkill for the application.
Hello, LOVE this video! Do you mind to share the total cost you spent on all materials?
Thanks! If my memory is correct the double loft build cost was about $250.
250? For all that wood? Sorry , I'm not good to judge on prices of stuff I don't buy but 250 seems very low !
It's been awhile so I don't remember what the cost was. Here is a list of what I used so you can price it out at your local lumber yard to find out what the cost would be.
3 sheets of 4x8x1/2" plywood
6) 2x6x12 boards
15) 2x4x8 studs
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 thank you !
Would it keep more moisture out if the upper top plate area was sealed off or maybe that open area lets moisture out?
This video shows how I sealed off the upper top plate area. ruclips.net/video/PT6pBA20ttg/видео.html
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 thank you. Guys did a great job on this shed. Wish I had started and done with my 12x24 with double lofts.
Do you have a material list to build your shed and a price
No material list but there is some pricing information in the video description.
A lot of light coming in on the soffits are they wide open?
The soffits were not complete when I built the lofts. Here is the video showing how I finished up the soffits.
ruclips.net/video/PT6pBA20ttg/видео.html
No ridge joist?
Will this technique work for an 8x12 shed?
I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 Much appreciated!!!!
I wish you the best with your project! 👍
Just finished mine using your technique. The only mod I made was to use 2x4s for the whole framing process, and I made a U shaped loft. Your video made this one person project go along smoothly!!! Thanks for the post!
Glad to hear the video has helped you out with your project. Enjoy your new loft!
trimmer stud or jack stud...doesnt matter
Thanks!
nothing personal . It is too complicated . You used too much prime stuff for the reinforcement. And the solving of that twisted one I really don,t like it
No problem, thanks for your input.
Great video- thanks!
