I'm more jealous of how easy his soil is to dig. I can use thors hammer to drive my shovel into my soil and not even a speak of dirt will leave. we haven't seen rain in like 6 months down in louisiana lol
Thank you for the video. Where I live in North Carolina, a 12 x 12 shed is the largest size allowable without having to get a permit, so this is the perfect size for my needs.
There are many videos like this one, but the verbal descriptions and lifehacks are superb - I especially liked the one about squaring the walls, never heard of such a method before on YT.
This is exactly the step by step I’ve been looking for when it comes to the “why” behind the roofing and how to block out the overhang you want. Really helps me plan my first workshop a little more ambitiously!
I own a few companies and one is a Fencing and shed building co. Here in TX the ciry only requires code or permits if a Shed/Loft is over 300sq feet. So usually theres no permits needed but, we always do our jobs as if it would. This video you shared it a pretty good walk through and work 👍
That was a real good video. Your supplies list in the description was laid out in a way that I could understand it. Thanks for putting your time into making this! 🎉
It's amazing how different building requirements are in different states. I am interested in building a small observatory shed for my telescope and wanted to see some new ideas. Where I live in Colorado, those deck blocks would be subject to frost heave, and wind gusts of between 60 and 100 MPH would definitely send that thing rolling through the neighbors yards. I'd have to pour 3' deep pilons in the corners and bolt it to the main beams to fully prevent it from moving. I do like the efficient use of materials and the metal roof seems like it would be a lot lighter, and easier than a traditional shingled roof. Thanks for sharing!
Nice job!!..One thing I noticed, the traditional latch that covers the mounting screws too prevent unfortunate break ins doesn't prevent removing the screws and hinges thus not securing it from idiots!!!...But thankyou for this video!!!
I have used that same siding and I recommend painting it laying down on blocks or something, and then putting it up. Less straining and gravity helps it get down into the grain better.
Awesome work, tough job on your own . I'm in the middle of finishing my 8x10 build. Just finished all the siding - trim and fascia boxing-in is next! Then doors, window, and paint/caulking!
When I have built shed doors, similar to what you have done, I either ripped 2x4 in two pieces (giving a depth of a bit less than 1 3/4", about the same as a your half lap), or used 2x3 (2.5"), which gives a bit more thickness. The outside skin gives all the strength you need. On the inside, especially when using 2x3, I add 3/4" furring with either pegboard or 1/4" ply on the inside. It gives a bit more storage for small items.
Good job 👍🏽 You have a good way of explaining things . Where others just play annoying heavy metal music on the background. You got your self a like 👍🏽 sir The building came out pretty cool
EXCELLENT VIDEO !!! I have found myself coming back to this one multiple times........exactly what I needed to know. Hopefully will start on my shed soon.
Great Job! Excellent video on how to. Quality of building was outstanding. Loved it, have reviewed it several times to make sure that I understand how to complete this building. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise and taking the time to teach others. Thank You!
you can paint the trim around the doors and windows with a contrasting color of your choosing to enhance the beauty of the shed. I did that. I used paint from Home Depot that someone ordered and didn't want it and the cost of the paint was almost 75% off.
Really great video, thank you for sharing. Just bought a property and planning to put a shed on it to store all the tools and materials for the long list of projects on the land.
Tip: before installing joists, pull layout on one of the rim joists, then line it up with the other rim joist, clamp them together, then transfer your layout marks to the other rim joist with a speed square. MAKE SURE to mark each rim joist so you know which way they go and don't get one turned around. Also, check crown on joists and install with crown up
Excellent video! I went into the video considering building my own shed. After this video, I am certain that I will not be doing that and will buy a premade shed.
From Toronto Canada we don’t get hurricanes. But, some winters we get large dumps of snow that can cause damage. The worst was in 1944 that had 40” of snow in 24hr. Then we had the devastating ice storm in 2013.
On the build? Don’t forget about “crowning” on the floor joists & wall studs. I also would’ve: * Pre-treated-&-sprayed the ground area location for Termites. * Installed floor joist hangers, not just hurricane tie-ins. * MEMBRANE’D the Pressure-treated floor frame & floor joists prior to plywood decking it. * Treated the cut-end of the floor-joists with Cut-N-Seal. * Tyvak wrapped wall stud frame before the siding. NOTE: That OSB Siding will swell WHEN (it’s never a question of “IF”) it gets wet & “wicks” moisture so sealing those ends are important. * Zip-system taped around the doors/windows & silicone BEHIND not just around the perimeter (Nice score on the jealousie window btw) * Z-Flashing above Windows/Doors. * Maybe R-Gard’ed the 😮perimeter of the window openings & roof vents. * R-Gard’ed the plywood floor (prior to setting the walls). * Primed/Epoxy/Vinyl-Flake/-& Aspartic sealed the floor & sill-plate perimeter. Just FYI? On any proposed gutter & down-spouts? The code usually is a minimum 10’ conducted away from the foundation.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am planning to build a new chicken coop and a run and had a pretty good plan. After watching your video I realized a few ways to save money, time and build overall better chicken run than what I originally planned.
Great video ,well done and well explained. I love the step by step process. Only one critique, tying off to your old man. As a carpenter who’s done fall protection training and high rise concrete you would totally trash his and your internals if you fell. You generate like 5 thousand pounds of force on a fall like that.
Found it funny that you put on a locking latch that covers the screws but have the hinges screwed on the outside. The type of hinges I'd use would be the ones with a square peg type of insert and a round head (aka carriage bolt) ... this way the square part under the bolt head locks into the hinge and goes through to the inside where it's bolted, thus making it almost impossible to remove the screws/bolts on the hinges to gain entry to the shed ... also need to make sure the hinges don't have a pin that can be removed. I'd also probably do at least a small waist high (or a little higher) work bench area, and a board across 3 or 4 wall beams to be able to screw in some utility hooks to hang up a trimmer, etc. ... or even a rail system.
Yeah, all of those videos to come in the future. You're right on the hinges! :) I do have a really nice collapsible workbench video that I put in my garage if you want to check it out. It is a good way to conserve space! :)
Really like this build. Some great comments above on better sealing/waterproofing. I would have put at least two more piers, no matter what the loads analysis said. Cheap to do up front and almost impossible later. I also would have put more ventilation in. I know it’s just a shed, but I hate getting smacked in the face with the heat and smells in the summer.
I hear ya on the piers and if we were staying here forever, I might have. The reason I did two skids was so it can sit level on a 8ft wide flatbed truck and be transported.👍 If I did 3 skids the spacing wouldn’t work out for that.
Also adding 15" blocks between studs or turning second stud on its face allows for attaching interior wall covering or insulating full width using turned stud on its face. Either is acceptable by most building codes you insulate pockets. Before sheathing at corners. Built homes my teen years and built 90 plus homes in Wisconsin. I was a framer, later finish carpentry, drywall, roofing, foundation work, even did plumbing, electrical.....so well rounded.
Nice video. Good build. Checking it out since Im considering options on rebuilding an existing shed that the neighbors tree flattened. I built it over 25 years ago and believe it was right around $800. Insurance adjustor estimate came in at $9,400. Im waiting on one more estimate from a contractor, but the first two were 13,600 and 15,100. Mine is also 12x12 so your cost gives me a good idea what it will cost me to rebuild on my own. Some of the lumber may still be salvageable as the framing was built entirely with screws. Thinking about adding a greenhouse to the southern side of it. Contractors estimate that it will take 3 days. Probably take me 30 by myself.
I enjoyed this video but was amazed at the criticism!! Wow !! 😮 This was done very inexpensive ly which is my objective in building my she-shed not the toj mahol 😂
For those confused, the door he did wrong is the one that is right. For the door diagonal, you want it going from the top hinge to the bottom unsorted. This puts the diagonal member in tension which is preferred to compression.
@@rutterrealtygc Your welcome to be wrong. Very often, the diagonal member that keeps a door square is a cable. Can't put a cable in compression. Wood, like most materials, is substantially stronger in tension than compression. This is not up for debate. It's a simple engineering principle.
@@rutterrealtygc To be fair, if you are not fastening the diagonal member in any way, you are correct, it has to be compression to keep the door square.
Great build and precise instructions. Only thing missing is a link to your blueprints for the build. Would make it easier to build without constantly reviewing the video. Lol 🤣.
Ryan, dope video. Thanks for making this. I’m working on a shed and very new to diy. Deff bit off more than I knew how to do but it’s coming together. @17:54 you mentioned not measuring 16 OC. I knew I had to do that but somehow messed up too and was looking for fixes. I’ll do what you did. Thanks man.
Yeah, I just attached a 2x4 block to the vertical supports that were on the gable ends and the block was enough to reach the seam where the two pieces of siding meet up. You can see it in the video right after 17:54.👍😊 Everything else was 16” on center though.
I built a shed similar to this and yours came out awesome, my only thing is you purchased a latch which can’t be removed but yet your hinges can, unless you used rounded head bolts, I couldn’t see from the position of the camera, otherwise great build.
Looks great, One thing I will note is your left hand door is braced correctly(braced from top away from hinge to inside to the hinge) but the right hand door is in the reverse orientation, therefor adding weight to the downward pressure of the door rather than supporting it.
Wood works equally well in both compression and tension in this situation... problem is, with how you pointed out the right door is going to rely on how well the fasteners are attached since it is relying on the tension of the wood vice the compression.
You are so right. I think I mentioned that in the video, but if not, you’re correct. I already nailed the exterior panel on there and I wasn’t going to rip it back off.😆 I was ready to get it done!😁
When the door is a solid piece of plywood, you don't need a brace at all. The plywood has all the sheer strength in the world, it's never going to sag. You only need an angle brace like this when the door face is made of multiple pieces of wood like a slat gate...
Roof has a vent at the top (ridge vent). Haven’t decided whether I want power to it yet (in case we move and bring it with us soon)!👍😊 Thanks for the comments!😁
You should have put your joist hangers upside down. The rim joists aren't holding up the floor joists. It's the other way around. The rim joists are putting downward pressure on the floor joists while the floor joists are putting downward pressure on the beams underneath. The floor joists are holding up the rim joists. Putting the hangars on upside down would have let the rim joists hang on the floor joists via the bottom plate of the joist hangers.
Pretty much used the same design, size is 10x10 and 4x4 are sitting on rocks didn’t have those concrete post pillar bases when I built it around 25 years ago. Got the design out of a Home Depot building plans book.
Also consider the maximum height. Where I am, the maximum height at the peak is 13 feet. So if you were to bury the foundation and get the skids at basically ground level, that gives you quite a bit of interior height - up to 12 feet if you want on the higher side of a lean-to shed.
I like how you secured the second door, but was surprised that you didn't use blind hinges for the doors. As the hinge and lock are your security weak points.
It’s ridiculous how patient and talented some people are. I’m jealous that I have neither of those traits. Enjoyed watching. 👍
🤣 Your name is @bowhuntertexas… I know you have to have some patience if you are a bow hunter!😁
I believe it’s fromhard work / tons of practice. Talent is not a real thing exactly, the tying and doing is way more real a thing!

Hey I live in NC and I'm going to build a shed but a lean to.
Could you get away with having two sheds instead of just one.? Or is there a limit?
This is exactly the size and very close to the design I want to build. Hands down the best build guide I have ever watched. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad it helped!

Level is horizontal. Enjoy your shed you did a nice job on it.

* Zip-system taped around the doors/windows & silicone BEHIND not just around the perimeter (Nice score on the jealousie window btw)
* Z-Flashing above Windows/Doors.
* Maybe R-Gard’ed the 😮perimeter of the window openings & roof vents.
* R-Gard’ed the plywood floor (prior to setting the walls).
* Primed/Epoxy/Vinyl-Flake/-& Aspartic sealed the floor & sill-plate perimeter.
Just FYI? On any proposed gutter & down-spouts? The code usually is a minimum 10’ conducted away from the foundation.
All great tips! Thanks! Possibly on the gutters! I still haven’t decided.😊👍

Absolutely! Thanks for the comment!
Nice build!
Thanks!
Great job! Going to be building a shed of my own soon, thanks for the info!
Awesome! Best of luck!👍😊
You should have put your joist hangers upside down. The rim joists aren't holding up the floor joists. It's the other way around. The rim joists are putting downward pressure on the floor joists while the floor joists are putting downward pressure on the beams underneath. The floor joists are holding up the rim joists. Putting the hangars on upside down would have let the rim joists hang on the floor joists via the bottom plate of the joist hangers.
Thanks for the comment. I’ve never heard of anyone doing that.👍
Great Ideas to build a shed
Thanks for the comment!👍😊
It came out great.
Thanks! Not sure if you’re saying yours did or my did…😂👍
Pretty much used the same design, size is 10x10 and 4x4 are sitting on rocks didn’t have those concrete post pillar bases when I built it around 25 years ago. Got the design out of a Home Depot building plans book.
Awesome!👍😊
Great job, I love it.
Thanks!👍😊
Dude, not only do we both love building sheds, but we have the same last name ! Haha
😆 Awesome! I wonder if we are related somehow?🤷♂️😆
Also consider the maximum height. Where I am, the maximum height at the peak is 13 feet. So if you were to bury the foundation and get the skids at basically ground level, that gives you quite a bit of interior height - up to 12 feet if you want on the higher side of a lean-to shed.

Amazing works ❤
Thanks for the comment!
I like how you secured the second door, but was surprised that you didn't use blind hinges for the doors. As the hinge and lock are your security weak points.
You’re so right… I should have hidden the hinges.👍
Looks nice but how many varmints will take up residence underneath?
It’s been a year… so far zero.👍😊
any suggestion against Varmints?
Great job. For myself I'd rather go with the pre fab joist and walls done for the extra 500 bucks
Okay. Sounds great!
Great video man 👍🏼
