You'll never need to worry about cutting the wrong size, spin in circles or waste time trying to figure out what goes where... With ryan's detailed shed plans ruclips.net/user/postUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu , it makes building sheds a breeze - just like putting lego bricks together! You'll be able to create the kind of shed, your neighbors and other woodworkers will secretly envy (while mumbling nice job under their breath).
Home gym? You don’t need one after building that! 💪💪
Cheers for the Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (search on google)? It is a great exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy after many years got astronomical success with it.
Trueeee
Good video! Looking forward to seeing the finished product. I'm thinking about doing a 10x12 shed gym at my home as well.
Thanks for the video. Liked and subscribed. Thanks for serving as well. I’m in the Army as well. Will definitely be following these plans to build my home gym shed. Looking forward to watching the rest.
Great video, the cost breakdown was an excellent addition. Thank you.
I've been watching RUclips videos for hours to find out how to do this right. This is the only one I've come across (that didn't use heavy equipment) that looks like a solid build. Thanks for posting!
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that.
about to try this
I think this is the way im going to do it too.
@@allinthefamilyprojects5442 what happens when it rains does the back wall erode? Do the rocks act as drainage or would you install drainage if hill is more of angle than yours?
@@stevendossi4764 I think you would have to install a french drain behind and around it and fill with gravel, and/or have a retaining wall of some sort.
Thank you for the video. This is exactly what I was looking for to do the same in my slopped backyard. Great job.
I'm gonna build a similar pad for my new hot tub. This is awesome man. Excellent tutorial. That thing looks like it'll last a lifetime and never move!
Looking up shed bases on slopes and yours is definitely the best. Thanks for a brilliant video and keep up the great work from Ireland. ☘️👍
Thank you!
Man... I got tired just watching you work...! Who needs a gym after THAT work out... good job!
Awesome, thank you for your service
Looks great! I see the slope, what are ya gonna do about drainage? Possible dirt/mud build up?
Wow !! Someone other then me is not afraid of a little hard work.. Most other videos everyone is using power equipment. Thx
Great video...thanks for showing us the way you did yours. And also thank you for your service to our country!! Hoorah!
Thanks for watching! I'm very proud to have served!
Awesome that you showed how much you saved by doing this yourself! Thanks!
Best feeling when you know you can do it yourself.
I've learned and grown a lot. I have a couple of projects that I will be uploading soon.
Love the cost breakdown at the end, thank you for this
Great video guys! Everyone laughed at us when we said we were going to put our shed on a gravel base the same as the one we had seen a couple of guys on youtube build-And yet there it stands in our back garden, absolutely solid and completely straight and £150 cheaper than using paving slabs- Keep up the good work.
That last beat was 🔥
Thanks for a thoughtful and thorough how to video
Very well done. Takes time but necessary. A good foundation is so important and this is a good one.
That’s hard work right there. Taking the time to do it right.
It’s worth it. Last forever when you do it right.
That digging looks brutal! Thank God I live in FL. Nice job
just ordered the *WoodBlueprints. Com* guide for step-by-step videos and different plans to BUILD A SHED. they have some awesome plans in there
Thanks Stan the man! great video gave me lots more to think about
great family project.
Awesome and you got your workout. Later on are you planning on doing a retainer wall to keep the earth from falling out? Keep us posted. Thank you 😊
Good vid, actually shows you sweating and doing the monotonous tasks. Not the usual glamorous speeded up vids that make it look so simple and effortless.
Thanks for sharing. Real nice job, much appreciated
You know its diy when you use what you have. That snow shovel for gravel ❤👍
Nice work! Thanks
Been meaning to thank you for this video. This video helped me gain confidence in building a 12x12 with gravel.
Very informative video, thank you for sharing!
Fantastic video 👍.
Solid idea!
Good ol fashioned hard work baby
Great video..thanks. About to attempt this myself. Very helpful.
Man thats bedroom music for sure. This helped me envision my slope of about a foot. Appreciate the vid!
Great video! Thanks! ✌️
Nice one...outstanding music...
Nice!! This helped me make a decision on my ground prep. Great job!
Thank you! Glad I could help.
Wanting to do a fire pit area on sloped part of yard and this is super helpful; thank you!
Good luck! Also, check out my fire pit project.
Great video easy to follow ... Thanks !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks really good! Just subbed the channel. I like all the projects you’ve done.
great video. thank you
Nice work.. I will be doing the same in the near future
Wow 🤩 Amazing. Inspiring
Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this [ Check Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!?
You make it look so easy !
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is an awesome exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical success with it.?
Appreciate the man hour estimates! That was actually really helpful😃👍🏼
That’s a lot of hard work and it looks like it was done right.
Great video!
Straight up inspirational. Well done Bro. SUBSCRIBED & THUMBS UP man.
Thank you!
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
my snow shovel does double duty too...it helps with yard/leaf work in the summer. But as good as the snow shovel might be, a true sqaure/flat head metal shovel is much better suited to do that gravel work. With as much ground your removed, it almost looks like a raised shed deck, supported by concrete pillars would have been easier. well done. thanks and thank you for your service.
Nice work. Made a similar pad for my shed a few years ago. Wish I had gone the route you did and just used stone instead of tamping a base and laying pavers.
Next time!
Nice work, guys.
Thanks!
when i built our shed i used a plan from *WoodBlueprints. Com* and it had all the blueprints, supplies, materials, and list well laid out for me.
Great video brothas...also, great music list!!!! 🔥🔥
Nice work
Can we acknowledge that this man used a snow shovel instead of a flat or spade...
You gosh dang ANIMAL!! GOAT status. Lol
Lol. I used the tools that I had. This was a tool that I had left over from my snowy time in Germany. I live in Georgia and I knew that I would likely never need a snow shovel ever again. Thanks for the acknowledgement!
@All In The Family Projects Yessir. I know good, honest work when i see it. And you my friend do great work. God bless.
Nice vid.
Job Well Done! Looks Good Unc!
Thanks for the editing pointers!
Hey, I helped too!
I am currently building a shed pad, Using a crushed gravel base and laying down pavers for the finished layer. Our slope runs opposite to yours (from front to back). What makes me nervous about finishing the pad below grade is what the water run off will do to the foundation over time. We are doing the opposite for this reason and building a small retaining wall with PT 4x4 to build up the low end rather than dropping the high end. Thank you for the video brother, I would be interested to know how the structure is doing currently.
Great video. I have a similar project for an 8x12 shed base. I was going to lay some paving slabs on top of the sub base but I'm think that isn't necessary really now.
Good job
Thanks
That's the right job- fair play!
No one can call you lazy or half arsed haha.
Next time don't cut into the ground but instead increase the height of the lower side with more timber, soil and gravel. Even though you added gravel, the whole in the ground will cause all above water to fill in that hole with the pad. Outside of that it was done well.
Great looking base! You guys r.eally know the meaning of hard work. I have a question for you.... What is your intention on dealing with the grade difference from the excavation on the fence side? I have the same situation with even a greater grade change
Maybe a retention wall ? My situation is the opposite: the property slopes down to back and I'll have to fill in the back... so... gonna build a retention wall, like 2-ft tall on the back and fill it in to level.
great job, but man that was a lot of work. Look forward to the next step.
Visit my channel to see phases II-IV.
I am not in the construction industry nor am I a carpenter, I wanted a good guide to help with small projects such as small sheds and some remodeling around the house. So there’s a magic which is Shed Plan [ visit here *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. This Shed Plan covers all my instructions from top to bottom in a step by step manner.
Who needs a gym after that workout?
That trac tho!!!!!!
Can you provide pictures of the area after a heavy rain?
Great video, thank you! And great results. As others asked, how are you planning to retain the dirt behind? I've seen similar pads that just add more of same dimension PT lumber on top of that rear wall up to the height of the dirt as a retaining wall.
Great video bruh. Thanks for posting. May I ask what you did with the removed grass and soil? I’m about to start something similar and looking for ideas. Thanks
bklyn2va2dc Thank you! I used the left over dirt throughout my property to fill in holes and to level the yard. I even used a piece of turf to patch a spot where the grass wasn’t growing so thick.
All In The Family Projects Ok! Thanks! That’s a good idea. I could do that for some of it but my yard is much smaller than yours. So I may end up having to haul some away. Keep up the great work and thanks for the speedy response. 👍🏿
New video will be released on 1 Sep 2019. Be sure to check it out!📽
Hi, This was really helpful. Can I ask why you used gravel instead of pouring concrete please? Is it better? Thank you.
concrete is much more expensive
gravel drains water MUCH better and will keep the shed footing dry.
But how did you handle the high ground around the three sides?
After three years, do you have any drainage issues? Thanks!
Watching from the UK - you did not need to lay a membrane?
Hi again! I am in the middle of doing my site prep. I have most of the area dug up. Wanted to thank you for the tiller part. Bought a cheap electric one and it made the “digging” part a synch as I didn’t really have to dig. Just till and remove with shovel. Also, I wanted to know did you level the dirt area also and then add the gravel or did you sort of get the dirt area dug out and then pour gravel and level that?
My bad, I just listened again and it sounds like you said you pretty much had everything leveled out in the dirt stage? Cool.
I left a slight slope so that water would drain out. You’ll do your leveling with the gravel.
All In The Family Projects Ok. Thanks again.
Hi its been a few years since this pad was built. Have you had any issues with it.. especially bowing out. I like that you used only one level of wood.
No issues whatsoever.
How do you plan on retaining the soil?
Wow, great job. All by hand too. Skid steer would have saved time but not money.
Yeah, the skid steer rental would have been about $300 for the day. I had to save money where I could.
I built a shed with these plans from Ryan [ Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ] . The instructions were clear and easy to implement. Even a novice can be able to build fast using this plan. I'm happy I bought the plan. It also saved me much cost.
i love how easy the plans are in *WoodBlueprints. Com* to understand and the step-by-step videos they have. Makes getting material really easy
Alright high speed! Nice video and dope beat...u looking like a full fledged 12 series aka Army Engineer...lol
Thanks! I'm old retired 25 series.
@@allinthefamilyprojects5442 Congratulations on your retirement brother. I just retired in 2018 and find myself wanting to do more stuff like this. I'm nowhere near as skilled as you are but thanks for the motivation. Be blessed king!
@@allinthefamilyprojects5442 25B IT? or older engineer series?
Michael Gallagher I was 25B (IT).
I love that you included the amount of effort taken at the end. Both in terms of real days and hours per day. Gives a really good understanding of roughly we can expect if we’re doing this on our own!
Only small thing I would add is a small disclaimer if this is your first time trying this project, or if you’re experienced already. This would help a bit more with “padding” the time on our end. E.g. if it’s your first time, I can expect it’ll roughly take me the same time but I’ll still pad it a bit.. but if you do this for a living I might need to pad it by a lot of extra hours or days due to my inexperience.
Either way GREAT video!
Thank you. Great advice. I had previously assisted a friend doing similar work, but I’m not a pro, by far.
How is the shed sitting higher then the gravel pad? Good video though helped me a lot.
Shed is built on 4x4 frame at the warehouse.
That's a lot of digging
what is gonna keep the dirt wall from eroding in your gravel pad ?
That’s covered in Phase II.
Wow Nice Job Not sure you need a gym after that , you don't see people physically work anymore
You did put down a weed stopping membrane?
No. Wasn’t necessary.
How did you get so much gravel for cheap?
You got +10 cool points for being Army
Where are the tie downs for the shed? Do you put those into the ground before adding the gravel?
I don’t live in a high-wind location and didn’t feel the need to use them. Plus, I added so much weight to my shed that I’m pretty confident that it’s not going anywhere.
Wow, you definitely went overboard. Lets see what phase 2 has.
@Arthur Johnston 6x6s for a shed plus rebar and all that gravel? That foundation is gonna last 500 years and leech carcinogens into the soil too. A concrete slab would've been cheaper and a better idea.
@Arthur Johnston The labor involved here is way more than one cement slab.
@@stoneyj1a1 Unfortunately, my HOA prohibits use of concrete foundations for sheds. Hence the reason for gravel.
@@allinthefamilyprojects5442 Got it, thanks for clearing that up.
@@stoneyj1a1 gravel allows the water to flow thru and does not backsplash on the shed leading to the base rotting quicker. Nope,gravel all the way.
Pad looks good but what are you doing about the back and sides? Sooner or later that dirt is going to slide and be up against your shed walls.....not good.
Thanks for watching. Please check out Phase II to see how I addressed the issues that you mentioned.
Only thing I missed is how you figured out how much to dig to get site level
1) I tied a string to a stake at the top of the slope 2) raised the other end until it was level, 3) measure distance from ground (bottom of the slope) up to my hand.
Think u shoulda stapled landscape fabric to inside of border to keep weeds out.
Actually, there hasn't been any weeds.
You just Encourage me to try and do this project myself
Kyhil Raison you can do it! I’m not a pro, I was just motivated to save money. Lol

Can I ask what the rebar is for?
DW4ACE1 Keeps the 6x6 from shifting
Do you think installing a weed barrier is a good idea under stone? Or just a waste of money?
It’s not necessary. It’s been 2 years and I haven’t had any weeds.
@@leverett1 Thank you!
How has I held up? Any videos of it in use?
I see you added a shed. I am thinking of exactly this but no shed and maybe use some type of shade
It has held up really well. I use my home gym 4-5 times a week.
Now, do a video for the necessary retaining wall behind the pad.
The retaining wall build takes place in phase II.
@@leverett1 Looking forward to it!
