It seems like every video I watch on building just about anything outside shows level land. Finally a video that tackles the problem of sloped land. Thank you!
Its all a joke anyway! A competant builder would know.
you need to tamp the dirt to compensate for the settling, Your rebar is not supposed to penetrate through the bottom timber into the dirt it rusts the rebar and promotes wood rot!
Unless that is ground contact lumber, it is going to rot. It's a great frame, but unfortunately pressure treated lumber isn't as rot resistant as it used to be. You should have used railroad ties. it will last for a few years, but then you are going to have rot issues.
Why the three board sections at the bottom of the top of the slope instead of one full board?
I would only caution that if it's touching ground it should be pressure treated wood. Choosing the right wood is important.
you sound just like Borat. You gotta say "This is niiiiice" next video PLEASE!
Another option for building on a hill is to make a wooden platform, but you need to size the floor joists to handle the load. An advantage is that you can jack it up to level after each winter.
Why no gravel under the sides and top sections? And why no gravel behind the downhill side? Wouldn't these improve drainage and lead to a longer lasting result?
What's the benefit of the joists sitting right on the gravel versus putting them on 4x4 posts on concrete standoffs?
Outstanding video! Appreciate all you share. Walking backwards burns more calories than walking forward.
Can't wait to watch the video! 👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is exactly what i needed.
Lov the video it made may sloped project much easier
That looks really great... but all that work.. probably gonna hire it out.
Thanks for this video and the subsequent series. Can we start a discussion of why one might prefer to do a gravel pad rather than post-in-concrete footers? Is it only because of the possibility of moving the shed down the road?
Question? Can you build the shed on top of the leveling pad 4x4’s or 6x6’s so the outside wall boards hangs over allowing rain water to drain away? Excellent video explaining everything well. Thanks
You mentioned links or plans etc that would be in the description but I dont see those. Maybe I missed them!
Looks great. Can I concrete the floor instead? I'm aware that if I wanted concrete, the framing might instead be built on top of it, not surrounding it. Just want to know what my options might be. Thanks.
