Nice video, thanks! Last year I built a 12 x 12 wood shed and an 8 x 10 garden shed by myself. I'd never built anything before, but over the years helped other guys out a little here and there and somehow picked up the basic ideas. I also made up the design for each one and I used a lot of the same techniques as you did. I used blocks in some cases to hold boards in place, and other times I used bar clamps, which worked out well. I didn't have to unscrew any blocks that way. If a professional looked at my work, they might chuckle, but I made sure to build strong frames for each shed and they're very solid. The roofs don't leak, so I guess I did ok. I'm sure your shed will work out well, too, and look forward to your follow-ups.
Thanks man! The clamps are a great idea. I'll try that next time. I'll try to make a better video this weekend. I'm planning on building one more but bigger. But I'll probably wait until spring lol.
You've inspired me sir to do my project. Thank you sir this video didn't even finish watching it wanted to comment. You've definitely inspired me I didn't think I'd be able to do it.
I really like your method for installing your rafters,its easy for one person to do and should offer good strength. I need something like this to put my rabbit cages in and to store rabbit and chicken feed. This will fit the bill nicely, thanks.
@@MATTHEWADAMS13 NEXT TIME - If you notch the top of corner post to accept the headers it will give it much more support. Then, sit the rafters on top . You may need blocks in between I wish my ground had as few of rocks as yours! Haha
Hey good morning I like your video thank you for the tips I plan to do something like this on my Homestead For a animal shelter to keep them out of the weather
Yes there should be another video on my chanel. It would have turned out a lot nicer if I would have bought all new material. But I'm tight lol. And used alot of used material.
@@MATTHEWADAMS13 Well as long as you gave it a shove and said "that's not goin anywhere" you're good haha. Glad it's holding up, can't wait to start on mine next week!
@@TylerStoner dead ass, I said those exact words when I got er up. Sorry I had to laugh at that 1. Finishing mines in the morning. Most likely will take up the rest of the day cause I'm not a carpenter by any means. I plan as I go. Everything is still standing n not leaking. This will be number 3
nice little shed you built there. i built one a in the summer '20 by myself also. those blocks or clamps on the post are a life saver for sure. i am looking to build something similar if i can find some property to purchase to store camper, boat, sxs and such in. one question, did you go back and rip the same angle of your rafters on to the header so you roof sits flush or did you add furring strips across to attach roof to?
Thanks! I'm no builder. Most of this material was free. So it's nothing fancy. I used 1×4s across my rafters to screw the metal to. Then I rolled roofing felt across the roof before I put my metal on. To help with condensation dripping everywhere.
Great video man! This video is about to pop off in terms of views. It was at the top of my search list. Congrats man.would you be able to provide a material list?
This was a great video and exactly what I was looking for. so my question is, would something like this be suitable for an RV? I mean I know itd have to be taller and longer but that's what I'm looking to do and last question, what would you do to make this whole structure more sturdy? thanks man.
It would work just fine for an rv. The structure is very sturdy. I would use post sleeves on the bottom of the posts. Or pour a concrete slab. You could also use 6×6 posts instead of 4×4s. And thanks for watching!
Yeah my mom always used to say cattywampus. She's from Alabama. She used to say tummped over when I knock something over. Some of her more famous words were that's wonky:-) when you said catty wumpus that's the first thing I thought I was my mom. I say that all the time. Love the video man.
Around 300 dollars at the time. Metal for the sides was free. Bought new metal for the roof. Bought the 4x4s out of the cull pile. And traded for the rough cut lumber.
Okay if I had another post in between the 10ft in the front and the 8ft in the back would it be safe to say that the middle post should be at 9ft out of the ground then? Also, were all your post 12 foot 4x4's?
@@jacobmallette1147 yes I'd say that'd be close. I used 4 10ft posts and 2 8ft posts in the back. I only sunk my posts 1 ft in the ground. So far I've had zero problems in a year. The 4 posts in the front was one for each corner and 1 on each side of the door.
@MechanicEli2007 I used saw mill lumber. And used metal. Except on roof. I have roughly 3 hundred and something in the shed. Every thing you need to build this except the nails or screws and the metal will cost you a little less than 400 at lowes. This is a 10×10.
You could build it just like this without the door. Just have a open front. And face it away from the direction the rain usually comes from. Thanks for watching!
@@MATTHEWADAMS13 yep that’s how I’d build it👌🏽 but I’m just a humble lady who isn’t confident to try build it myself, but I wish I could be brave enough to try.
@@Rosesraspberries72 the hardest part would be the roof. And possibly digging the holes. But other than that it wouldn't be that bad, especially if you could find someone to help you hold stuff lol.
@@MATTHEWADAMS13 it’s the correct measurements that worry me, and all the correct angels 📐 Lol my brain melts at anything maths 😂 Probably will end up paying someone to make it for me. But I’ll be hands on helping so I can learn. I’ve found a cheap, strong, flexible & water proof material for the walls and roof. Can’t think of the correct name atm, but it’s thick plastic matting that lays between empty wine bottle pallets. Absolutely bloody brilliant stuff. They come in sheets roughly 1 meter x 1 meter.
Once you set outside rafters you can use a bevel gauge to mark accurate angles on the rest of your rafters. Using that,as long as your measured length is correct you'll be bang on every time.
Good job my guy… I hate to be “That Guy” but technically, this isn’t a pole barn… or at least around here. We, as in everyone around builds them using actual power/communication poles. I have a 60x20x12 and it’s built with 12’ sections of 45’ class 3 power poles. Regardless, you done an awesome job!
You should never encase a post in concrete even it is is pressure treated. Water will be retained between the wood and the concrete which will contribute to the posts rotting. You would have been better off using the expanding foam meant for that.
@@MATTHEWADAMS13 You should also pour in some gravel into the hole prior to setting the post to keep the bottom of the post off the soil. End grain sucks up moisture like there is no tomorrow and the pressure treatment will not help with that that. I might want to think about coating the part of the post that will be below grade with roofing tar even though it is pressure treated. I know they make pre-mixed concrete specifically for pouring around posts but you should wrap the post with building felt before setting it so the water has some place to wick to instead of staying in between the concrete and the wood. You should also be using some metal hangers for your rafters. You cannot depend on the shear of the nails to hold it together. Overhangs are a good thing for buildings. It keeps the water shedding off the roof surface from running down the wall. Your girts need to be on 24 inch centers. I would put some bearing blocks in between the girts under the 2x12 to help carry the load. You cannot depend on nails in shear to carry the load entirely. Hope you are using pole barn nails. The are spiral nails. They are a pain to remove but they hold really well. If you are using steel panels for the roof and walls don't forget the closure strips.
@@MATTHEWADAMS13 yes that is a post barn "pole noun 1. a long, slender, rounded piece of wood or metal, typically used with one end placed in the ground as a support for something. "a tent pole"
Thank You! I've watched 100 videos and yours was the most helpful by far!!

Hey, cam you tell me the overall cost to build this? I'm wanting to do something like this for my mower and tools. Thanks!
If you can get used metal it won't be much at all. I can get you a lumber price in my area if you want. Or a material list.

My brother's did that kind of roof and in the winter 3 years later she collapsed luckily nobody was in it when it collapsed
Dang! Luckily we don't have bad winters here very often.
If you notch the top of corner post to accept the headers and sit the rafters on top it would hold the load MUCH better.
