transcript: Hello and welcome, I’m Carl the landscape guy and today I’ll be building a simple, low-cost and functional firewood storage shed. I will explain everything step by step and show the entire process in detail. Like in many of my other videos, I will mostly do the work without using big machinery. Of course this will take longer, but this way the shed will be easy to replicate with clear and simple steps. We start here at the property line where the firewood shed will be built. The old overgrown wire mesh fence on the property line will be removed. The backside of the new firewood shed will be the border to the neighbor. Therefore I have to make room here for the time being. At this point I want to mention that it always makes sense to discuss such a building project with the neighbors concerned and also with the town hall for possible necessary building permits. Overgrown branches and twigs are easily removed with the lopper or branch cutter. Now I begin to dismantle the fence, starting with the heavy steel beams, which were used as fence posts. With the cutting pliers I open the fence. The fence is not so easy to remove, it seems to have been buried here, so I dig it out with a spade. Then the wire fencing can be pulled out easily. I also remove roots that are in the way and a tree which is too close to the property line has to be cut down. To prevent it from falling on the house I attach a pulling rope and cut a small felling wedge. Now it is quite easy to pull it in the desired direction. Disassemble it, take it away and clean the area. No wood is wasted here and it will be added to the firewood pile. Now these two root stumps have to be removed. Normally you would do this with an excavator but I want to show you how to do it with physical strength. For this I use a manual winch, which I attach to a big tree nearby. The steel rope is put around the root to be removed, so that it can be tightened. With the help of the rod I pull the rope slowly through and thus the roots can be pulled out relatively well. From time to time I cut off the roots with a sharp spade. The two roots are out and I cut them up with the chainsaw and try not to touch the sandy roots or ingrown wires. It is already dark, so I’ll continue the next day. Now that the space for the new wood storage is finally free, I hammer in metal stakes and mark the property line with a string. To support the posts, I will use these 9cm wide H-anchors. They will be set in concrete like this later and I will see what height makes sense here. The H anchors keep the wooden posts from touching the soil.

Well done. Just a tip if you stack all roofing sheets once cut you can predrill them all at one time
This is an awesome looking wood shed. Well built and sturdy. That said, the angle of the roof will cause rain run off into the neighbor's yard. Not very considerate in my opinion. Maybe add a gutter system to mitigate this.
thank you, good point with the gutters
You dont have any roof support between your front and rear top support. I take it that you have no snow loads to consider. typically there are rafter supports front to back above those top supports, and then furling strips above that running from side to side on which the metal roofing is attached. this also helps in high wind conditions to prevent the middle portion of the roof from flexing.
i'm not a contractor, engineer, or inspector- but I did stay at a Motel 6 once.
did they keep the lights on for you?
cool
Apart from the skills, tools, experience and vision, I have the will to do these things.
that's a good start
Apparently his location does not have zoning regulations requiring a minimum side yard setback when constructing a structure. The rainwater from this roof will certainly impact the neighbor. Tim in northern TN
here this is not considered a building so the zoning doesn't apply
Now that's a wood shed!!!! My issue would be to sure up the roof because of the amounts of snow we get. There are years where a three and a half foot snow storm. Let alone the other snows throughout the winter.
That's an easy fix.
yes you can always make the roof more sturdy, thanks for the feedback
dein Englisch ist einfach geil
rain run off may create an issue, might put a gutter on the back side.
Carl, you made this so relaxing. You are cool guy, for a moment I was thinking you are in Canada, until I saw you were digging holes only 70cm. We dig holes bellow frost line . Pretty much 110cm and more support for roof so it does not cave in
leaving the front back and sides open allow for maximum airflow and quicker drying
also a good idea
That is the softest, loosest soil I have ever seen, was like digging in play sand
yes but it's also more sturdy with more rocks
Your soil seems so soft and easy to work with. It took me around 1 hour/ hole when I dug my fence post foundation. I did dig it 80 cm deep and dug out a conic foot shape at the bottom which made the process longer along with the fact that I had large rocks and roots to deal with as well. Eventually I bought a 6.5 hp professional earth auger and broke 3 augers before I reverted to manual digging...
wow ok yes I'm lucky with the soil here thanks for the comment and good luck with your project
An interesting and well-narrated project Carl, - congratulations. You speak clearly and I liked your pointing out many practical points such as the air gap below the wood, pre-drilling, and drilling the ridges not the valleys. I've been cutting and preparing my own firewood for 30yr and did anticipate that your side battens would not be strong enough. You are also building rather tall & wide woodstacks with quite short pieces - I wonder if they will move about sufficiently while drying to end up pressing on the rear fence panels - time will tell. Since, like me, you are taking what wood comes your way, you may one day want one of the bays to accomodate odds & ends - a miscellany of unstackable pieces - which require a different containment approach.
I also wondered what your neighbour will think - if he notices - about all that extra water landing at the back - and even if not, whether it will shorten the lifetime of the rear, being in the damp and the shade, and among foliage.
I have one suggestion for improvement, if you ever build another. I HATE the use of concrete - it is hugely energy-intensive, and the base messes the ground up for good. So instead of H anchors, I like to use galvanised spiral ground screws, which can be had in a variety of diameters up to sufficient to support a big brick-built house. They are screwed into the ground with no preparation and unless its very rocky, they work a dream. To suppress weeds underneath the shelter, a woven polyester mulch fabric will cost less than the gravel and be just as effective. This approach will substantially reduce the carbon footprint of your woodshed, and retains flexibility of ground use if a future owner doesn't burn wood.
You have no idea how lucky you are to have soft soil and no roots. I'm envious lol.
Very well done but I'm not sure I'd be happy if I was the neighbor. Looks like a ton of water is going to be pouring into their property from that roof any time it rains.
I was thinking the same thing. If I try to do that to my neighbor (who is a nice guy) most probably he will fire a warning shot after the very first nail! 😀
Very well done but.....🤯🤯🤯😷
He could install gutters at the back of the roof
Life!
So it’s not like it going to rain in their yard? If it is an issue he can put gutters on the shed
The preparation process was a lot of work. Nice work ethic and eye for detail. Great job.
The way you put the post on the property line it looks like your roof actually goes over the line. I wouldn’t have pushed the limit on putting it on the line like that. Great looking wood storage shed though. I will probably do one just like it.
Thanks, I will use your guide to build my own 😁
thank you for your feedback and I'm glad this video inspired you and I hope it comes out nice
Side trim is always a pleasure.
yes makes it look better
Good job, Carl, your videos allways impress and inspire me!
Awesome video Carl!
I built a similar structure. I have found that the roof sheets 'sweat' a lot - ie water condensates from warm, moisture laden air on the underside of the cold steel roof panels and drips on to the wood underneath. In retrospect I should have laid sarking or roofing felt, before fixing the steel roof. Much easier that way than taking the roof off and retrofitting (as I had to).
think housewrap would work the same? or does roofing felt really let water vapour through (just to make sure, are you talking bitumen or plastic)? my hardware store doesn't have anything it probably doesn't have sarking.
@@rekostarr7149 Probably - but the best thing is to buy the roofing sheet with the clothe already adhered to the underside (I was too cheap - but you pay in the end!). Just cut away/burn off the last couple of inches on the lower end, so water running off the top doesn't wick back underneath. Sorry for the delay - I've been laid up with COVID!
Hey Carl, really enjoyed the video. I'm starting my wood shed build tomorrow and it gave me some great ideas. Thanks, Mike
sounds good, how is your building going?
Nice work. Hello from Ukraine
Excellent video. Good ideas within such as working the roof from the center & using metal roofing trim. I'm looking to build something like this to replace the awning on my camper. Just need to keep in mind strength for snow weight. Cheers.
Good job Carl, I'm buying the idea...Danke!
thanks and your welcome
Supergood video!
👍 thanks
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful
Thank you for the idea and you did a great job 👍
thanks

Nice job. Great woodshed
thank you
Great Work!!!!
Good video. I keep it simple as well; I manage my woodshed so I'm always burning the oldest wood. Although, your stack is neater than mine.
This is fantastic !!! Great video - thanks for sharing...
thanks
Good Work. Congrats
Nice looking project
I wish my dirt was that easy to do in.
С виду аккуратно, но какую снеговую нагрузку выдержит данная крыша?
I’d kill for that kind of soil. Mine is hard clay and basalt. Digging a fence post could take 10 minutes or a full day.
wow ok
Awesome video , enjoyed it, thank you!!
welcome, thanks 👍
Greetings aus Irland ☘️👍
For the pre-drilling of roofing metal sheets.
Next time stacking up on the ground then measuring it the screw locations and then it’ll be marked for screws on the roof and easier to screw in.
gutter the back of the roof, connect to a water butt. save the rain that might cause issues with you and your neighbour with it cascading from your roof into their garden.
Good job!
thanks
Good job.
Awesome build mate
thanks
Amazing work, would like to build something similar. But i have wondered, when it rains, all the water will poor to the neighbor's property no?
I was thinking the same!
very easy to install gutter and harvest rain water into water butt and have overflow running into a drain if needed
Great detail
thanks
when I saw you using the hammerdrill function on your corded drill for putting in those wood screws I cringed. That setting is for drilling into concrete. the Bosch PBH is not an impact driver but an impact drill, totally different beast. ;-)
Hey Carl! Great video. I'm looking to build something similiar and came here to find some ideas. Just curious. What are your overall dimensions?
Great like from România
Great build but you angled that so the rain will go to the house. Thanks for sharing with us.
yes, might add rain gutter later, thank you
Nice job, i have the material pallets, etc. I will use some of your ideas.
Amazing job! May I know your shed’s size?
Does the back edge of the roof hang over the property line?
Well you did a nice job but I need footages not meters but I would need more roof suport than that with wind load and snow loads but it got me thinking
you don't have to copy it one on one, of course you need to adjust to your local needs, I'm glad if it helped thank you for the comment
Yes the rain will go on the neighbors property
that is true but so far no issues maybe I will add a rain gutter in the future
Could have put single bolts and nuts to secure the fence posts instead of screws.
Build an efficient house and you'll never need this much wood...
I'm working on it but you will always need some wood so it will just last longer
You have no idea what your talking about,that's not that much wood Flatlander.probably your a urban condo renter!
No center support for the metal from front to back? I can hear the metal from here in the wind. Also snow load has to be considered because if you get 2 feet of wet snow up there, the sheet steel could buckle. Good luck.
Nice
thanks
Where did u get the post brackets from that u concreted into the ground/what’s the part # if u have it, thanks Charles
Nice work.
How much did this project cost and how long did it take? Just the leveling and shed, not pulling stumps.
Nice work
Hallo! Exactly the kind of roof I was looking for, thanks! Could you share the overall dimensions and space in between poles? Just to calculate the total amount of timber I'll need. Danke!
between all posts that's always 1.8 m, and then I have the roof sticking out about 40 cm all the way around, thank you very much and good luck with that Project
Hi Carl. I enjoyed the video as it will be great inspiration for one that I would like to build myself. However, just out of interest, why didn't you put any guttering on the back of the shed? Surely your neighbour would appreciate it if you did that?
yes my neighbor doesn't care but might add gutter later
Please make more videos about the koi fish!
Carolina
The Amazon link shows the price of the H anchor as $68.19 (USD). Is that correct?
that's too much for one anchor
the rainwater all flows to the neighbors?, in europe that would be forbidden
The rear of the roof has to be flush with the fence line to avoid overhanging the boundary, which means rain will run down the fence causing rot and getting the firewood wet. I have a similar problem with my own wood store and regret siting it so close to the boundary!
You Will need close because rain.
wood dries well
How much wood do you think it can hold?
28m3
Great video Carl and nice job. Tarps are no good! Gotta have a shed. Check us out if you're into firewood. Cheers.
The rain hits the metal roof . Then it drains on neighbors yard
that's true but since there's only some shrubs it is fine with the neighbour
Can you give a link to those H brackets
these h anchors are used in europe alot, in the US they are hard to find
i looked and i couldnt find them over there, let me know when you find them and i will link them for everyone
@@CarlTheLandscapeGuy Thank you for trying, I looked for them in the US but not quite like those.
@@CarlTheLandscapeGuy None found Carl, just the big box 4x4 inch anchor type
Where are you located?
Germany
so the neighbour gets all the water?
yes, he doesn't mind, but i might add a gutter in the future
Motion belt keeps falling off
I like the video.... helped make a few decisions about the firewood shed I'm about to build. The only thing that bothered me is placement of the shed. I THINK I remember you saying that the shed is being built next to the property line. If that building that is behind the shed is the neighbor's building (house?) I would bet that your build violates local building codes. There is no way that such a shed should be built so close to a house... especially that close to a neighbor's house. Fire and rodent hazard. Great build... but if that was built by my neighbor that close to my house... I would be having discussions with zoning officials that same day. I wouldn't even build it that close to my own house.
A local building code over here says, a simple structure like a firewood shed must be at least a meter away from the property line.
As a tree surgeon. That felling cut was a disgrace. It needs to be neat and not 4 inches above
worked fine here
He is cutting small branches not a specimen. Tree surgeons are dopes
Do not measure right angle like that. Just use 3,4,5 meters rope and pythagoras method. Much more precise.
true thanks
Неправильный крепёж кровли.Есть специальные шурупы с шайбой прорезиненой.Надеют ты сделал перевод этого комента
Looks like you have no rocks in your soil. Jealous!
What country would need a permit for a wood shed?
The Netherlands. We need a permit for almost everything....😬
@@JHH-yt5oy Wow! Here in California as long as there is no electricity and its temporary then its ok.
In italy too if it’s bigger than 8 square meters
Me, said Denmark
Canada you need permit almost always.
This is a nice project except using that meter and centimeter measurements it is Inches and feet so I don't have to constantly stop and figure out what you are talking about
😂 I understand what you mean it is quite confusing but where I from we use metric system, and many other English speaking countries use metric system too
Um, no. That roof will not hold a snow load worth shit.
Most places that actually need to use firewood will get from 1 to 4 feet of snow or maybe even more. I like the design overall but the support you made for the metal roofing is joke. Anyone wanting to duplicate this design should absolutely put roof trusses of some type spaced appropriately for the wood you choose for the trusses. In this design I would go minimum of 16" spacing for 2x4 roof trusses although 12" spacing would be better.
When the snow load bends the crap out of that roof I hope you post a follow up video showing this failure. Or maybe I am totally wrong and that metal roofing is stronger than I know but I doubt it.
good point probably not but where I live we barely get any snow so it's still holds up like the first day of course you have to adjust the structure to your regional needs thank you again good point
Good project, sucky filming
i am constantly updateing my equipment thank you for the feedback
Ridiculous video. Came here to see the building of a woodstore but instead time is wasted explaining his particular unique site instead of simply saying "Start by clearing the ground where the woodstore is to be positioned" 😮
competent craftsmen dont use the metric system
