I also noticed the tools right away. Luckily, there's usually a hardware store or similar that will rent tools, but that can be expensive, too. You need to be ready to work with them as soon as you bring them home.
Absolutely, would prefer to DIY, particularly since we are retired. We paid a contractor to build the shell of our small vacation home, and the plumber and electrician to rough stuff in. But my wife & I (with little experience) finished the interior. A fabulous project over 3 summers and we saved a ton of money. Our friends love the t&g pine interior. And we have a buyer whenever we decide to sell. All you need is a bunch of tools, some imagination and RUclips if you need some advice. And we had a lot of fun doing it.
Space, he could just build a long shed on that side of the house though, but individual sheds are quicker in my opinion, I guess it depends on the tools you have.. this guy is making a concrete base for I would've built a long ass shed instead
Built a shed at beginning of the "pandemic" 18L x 8w x 12H and it morphed into a mini home (no BR) probably spent 15K DIY, when 2x4 skyrocketed from $3.99 to $8.99 each over night. It was well worth the money and we use it for entertaining back yard parties etc.
I LOVE THEM. Thes size and all. The face that I just learned how to make a simple door from watching this is makes them more incredible. To what ever the sheds will be used for im sure they are just what you needed.
If I may (I'm anything but a pro): Depends what you plan to do put inside and I know it's not as sturdy but, for the roof, I prefer ondulated plastic. Cheaper, easier to install and, more importantly, gives you light inside during the day... Also, I prefer the slope of the roof to have the upper part in the front. That way rain goes on the back and it gives you a better opening in the front.
I would be willing to wager these black asphalt roofing aesthetically coordinates with the home’s roofing material, therefore making them appear & be more customized in addition to the custom doors.

@@zimvader25 This is why I always read the comments, to learn from experienced contractors and DIY'ers and avoid making mistakes. I was wondering whether to use felt and shingles for a small tool shed roof. Thank you.
American medics totally rip off patients….because it’s insured, and for some inexplicable reason Americans think it is perfectly fine to pay hundreds every month for rip off insurance premiums….its just crazy. The cost of the hospital stay alone is eye watering….how do you afford the cost of a good second hand car for a small injury of a type you might get a couple of times per year? Americans hate the idea of a government run Heath system like UK has….yet if I needed a broken bone reset and stitches….it costs me NOTHING. In the US, you might be paying that off for years!
Just for reference. Christmas Day, I was out of town and had a kidney stone attack. I went to the ER. They did an x-ray with contrast. Determined that yes, I had a big kidney stone, but I didn't take my health insurance, so this was on me. I got a shot of demerol as well as ten demerol pills to take with me. The total bill was $195.00. How crazy that medical cost has gotten so far out of hand.
The thick poly sheds are amazing. Mine are still going strong after many years and heavy snow loads. The flimsy ones break easily, but are still pretty tough. They never rot or rust, so I like them. I built a shed style washroom using 2x4s and Hardy boards with a metal roof and it's still holding up, even unpainted. Hardy board is amazing stuff. DIY or prebuilt sheds can take almost the same time to construct, plastic sheds still have many metal parts that have to be screwed or bolted together. Wood is much easier to work with, and can be faster if you use dimensions that maximize the sheet materials.
I put up a poly-shed for a little old lady neighbor because that’s what she had her mind set on - lots of great reviews. Within 6 months of sunshine, the doors had warped bad enough that she couldn’t close them. I went back and checked the bad reviews and so so many were the exact same thing. Went up easy. 5*’s. Less than a year later, massive warping. Buyer beware.
It's interesting that you chose to build 5 small sheds rather than one big one. Is there a reason other than filling the space? Wouldn't your cost come down quite a bit if you built one shed? I could barely fit my mower in any one of them. Do you not have zoning laws in your city? In most suburbs you're only allowed one out building and there are very specific rules about how far from the house and fence they must be. The quality of your work is very good but I'm curious about the utility of such small sheds (seem short too).
It could very well be permitting issues. Where I live I can only build up to 120sq ft, anything bigger requires a permit. It doesn’t say anywhere how many shed I am limited too. So I built two. Planning to build another one.
I’m no construction expert, but I’m pretty sure pouring concrete onto the grass surface isn’t a good idea. Won’t the slab sink without crushed stone base?
@@PeacefulCountryLife No, the concrete slab he poured is the base for the shed. The concrete slab needs a base of crushed stone so it doesn’t sink into the soil.
@@BeeTreeGuy I know this - I've done construction myself - what I'm saying is that maybe he intends to sell those sheds and he's not that bothered about the concrete base; and maybe he'll use those bases in the future to construct more sheds... I don't know.. :)
I’m building my own shed right now - saw a plastic one for 400 at Costco, figured I could make my own for that but bigger and better fit for my space- I’m a teensy over budget because I went for beefier siding. It’s been good practice too.
I bought an 8x10 metal shed kit and covered the roof with self stick white roofing. The foundation is treated 6"X6"s, I buried about 2/3rds into the dirt. Been about 10 years, seems ok.

I like your format and style. "Is it ------------------?" Thanks for talking to those who already have tools or want to buy them. That's another story of cost in acquiring tools. Great production and build. This confirmed not if I could, but should I really vs and swayed me from prefab product.
In the uk I wanted a belt and braces shed 16 x 9 foot shed in 3 x 2 inch framing with one inch tongue and groove floor and roof , with a 3/4 inch shiplap outside finish . All the timber was to be tanalised and the shed was wrapped in roofing membrane with three anti uv polymer windows . Only one company seemed to do this and was called beast sheds who had a website where you could design the shed you wanted . The total price was £3500 which I thought was expensive but I was going to take it as this design was the one I wanted . Then Covid hit and I was furloughed for 4 months so I decided to build my own , there was the odd thing I would have done differently but I was very pleased with the result and I saved myself £2000 less the cost of a nail gun which I now have for other projects like an arbour I built for £130 which was stronger , bigger and much more pleasing to the eye than the one I saw at a garden centre for three times the cost . It has put me on a journey where I have just completed some alcove cupboards in birch ply that are bespoke to my own design that I was quoted £4500 but even though I bought a £500 track saw and pocket hole jig , I did the job for £2000 . When I have used tradesmen in the past I find them expensive and no better end product and often worse than what I can do myself. My next project is fitted wardrobes in birch ply quoted £5500 but now I have a track saw with my gained knowledge of building the alcove cupboards I believe I can bring them in around £1500. The one big saving is labour but also care because it is you doing it for yourself so the job has to be right. Give it a go if you think you can do it and RUclips is a great teacher.
Similar for me, also in the UK. Wanted a garden room but from blocks, not timber, and a warm roof. There were extensive groundworks to do (footings for 3 retaining walls, lowering ground level by 1m across a 15m x 6m area, and footings and pouring of a 9m x 4m raft slab) ... but that's just digging, barrowing, dumping and gruntwork. None of the quotes I got were less than 44k GBP (!!!) so decided to have a go myself... with my only DIY experience being the changing of light bulbs. So far, I've done it all (buy I did get a few concrete lorries and pumps for the footings and slab) and have got it to a point of being ready for 1st fix inside and cladding on the outside. I reckon my total build cost will come in at just under 18k and that includes a lot of (quite nice and resealable cordless tools, including a nail gun like you, that aren't really for DIY use). I tell people who ask that it shows that if someone like me can do it then pretty much anyone can. Saves a lot of money but, for me, and more importantly, it keeps my mind occupied and it's good fun... especially choosing and buying a new power tool!

We have a relative who bought a shed, and he paid over 5700 for a 8×12. We are building a 8×12 with a higher pitch roof so we can have a loft for more storage with better lumber, and it will cost us around 2500, not counting our time. With the lack of quality today, it's a no-brainer
ER here in Tampa charged me $2,500 to wash my eye out after it was hit with a drop of acid. But I already had washed it out. I was there for 20 mins. ha ha. The US is wild. We are looking to make one shed like this. Happy to have found you!
The bottom plates don't look like treated lumber. If not, since it is contacting concrete, and more so because the concrete will be exposed to rain, etc. the bottom plate will likely rot within a few short years. Ideally, there should also be a vapor barrier under the plate - it can be something as simple as plastic sheeting. It's not super critical for something like this though.
They are built as sturdy as a home with what appear to be less than 16” centres. Using plywood wall panels and bigger spacing on the studs in addition to omitting the slab floor I bet you could do this for under $500
Thanks for posting this segment. I have a similar challenge with a need for additional storage and plan to utilize the space between my home and the privacy fence like yours. I appreciate the structural details you shared here and design plans. I have some D.l.Y. skills and plan to follow your example here, utilizing your ideas.
If you have the skill set I always recommend DIY. I would just have built larger and fewer sheds as well as prepped the base for the concrete. Thanks for your wife’s service. 👍

@@inspiringbuilds I am planning a diy shed and already have a concrete slab. Do I just set the wood on the concrete directly? Do I use pressure treated wood for the bottom pieces? Do I need to anchor to the concrete or the weight of the shed is sufficient to keep it from moving?
@@ltai0001 Always anchor to the concrete. Pressure treated wood for the bottom of the frame (just my preference). Doesn't matter the wood type if water can get in.
Absolutely DIY....there is no other way! In the end the reward is a great experience and potentially money saved, if not, most importantly knowledge learnt.
I watched you pour concrete directly on grass and immediately knew, “this guy is a pro, and this is the way”. All that natural fiber will help keep the “foundation” solid for centuries!!
lol, I hope it’s a sarcasm)) all this “natural fiber” will durn into dust and a bunch of holes that would cause a major fail. I met this a Mexican contractor that pours it directly onto grass with the same “natural fiber” bs.. 6mo fail rate 100%, but he can no longer be found once he takes the money.
@@brianallen140 It is a SHED. I have poured a slab with little if any prep and it lasted at least 10 years (when I moved away). I don't understand the attitude.
great video but where are the details...I want to build just one exactly like the ones you built. I clicked on your templates link but does not have sheds
Dude you are an excellent builder. Very impressive and everything well built. Your Timed sped up Video and Camera angles are perfect , love your commentary during the whole video. I’ve worked on 4-Special effects Movies in Hollyweird Calif. and I’ve seen big productions you definitely are not only an excellent builder but you could definitely start a channel with yours and others DYI’rs . Lighting was good, sound was good, I also liked you didn’t talk while building it you made it a documentary style Video after, Brilliant. PS $ 8,000. for a Splinter is terrible and thievery. Shame on what the Medical field has become. I’ve had my own business for 36 yrs. Commercial Laundry Equipment, the last 12-years I worked full time as a nightime Custodian and did my own business during the Day and some weekends. The Medical and Dental coverage while raising 5-children, married 42yrs, Homeschooling all of them was the best move I ever did in my whole Self employment life. My Son got a Splinter in his foot,surgery $10,000., Daughter in hospital yeast infection, 3-days $33,000. Hate to admit it, the regular stable income, Medical, Dental, I’m retired now but, retirement- $600. Per Month till I die PERS, $36,000. savings account I didn’t put a dime in made it worth doing a night gig. Thanks 🙏 for sharing a fantastic Build and Video . God Bless You and your Family 🙏
I wanted to start a woodworking business. So I needed a 12x32 shop. I shopped around for one and the cheapest I could find was around 18k for a bare bone shed. That's with no electric, insulation or garage door. if I wanted that included it would have cost me 30k. I can't afford that. So after some research and checking prices I realized it be cheaper to just build my own. So I got the concrete slab pour at 4 inches thick for $900, the insulation for $400, the electric for $150, the lumber and hardware for around $1500. I had the metal for the roof and siding already from a demo job. But if I had to pay for it then the ballpark price would probably be around 2k. So for under 5k and 3 months I got my dream shop. it's definitely cheaper to build it yourself and a rewarding experience! if you can recycle, reuse and repurpose materials that will help a lot on saving money.
I absolutely love these! I want to do a custom lean to across the entire backside of my garage that has the closed in storage on both ends & open gravel ground in the middle for my pool pump.
Nice. If asked, I would suggest getting those hinge fasteners on the inside of the door jams to make a thief's job a bit more difficult. Additionally, in my neighborhood, those concrete pads would constitute the need for permits. We can strap things to pads but the structure must be easily removed if needed. 🙂Watching your work... I'm going to have to get one of those circular saw guides.
I DIYed because the dimensions for my shed wasn't on the market and it had to fit on the side of my house where i wanted it 3 1/2 feet by 20 feet. If I could have bought it I would have, was decent project, but i agree most contractors are not good quality anymore, the ones that are usually are way to expensive as their time is valuable
Facts . I had a home built through Lennar and it has been a nightmare. My home was supposed to be handicapped friendly due to my son having a disability and no it was not and the house been falling apart since day one of closing of November of last year. It is such a shame that they allow huge companies do this to hard-working citizens
This is really amazing. Love the channel and your DIY builds. I’m looking to start 2 of these for my tools and landscape materials. Just wondering do you have a page with builds or material lists etc. ??
Thank you so much, and no water goes inside… we’ve had 4 heavy rain storms since the completion of the project and they remain fully dry inside. Now I may add a shed gutter to the front though. The rain comes off the roof and hits the dirt in front and splatters mud back onto the doors which is frustrating though.
Nice, but only a skilled construction guy like you can do it so beautifully, a diy homeowner like me with no construction knowledge will have a hard time 😂. Btw, may I know what paint sprayer tools are you using. Thanks for sharing your video.
I thought plywood goes to crap in the rain? It's cheaper for me to use timber but more convenient to use ply. I like the cedar trim at the end and the doors alot.
Great video. I think you did a great job and they look awesome. I need to do a similar project and have two questions. First, why pitch them forward towards the door? I understand that when they're up against a building but these are free standing and the shorter entrance doesn't make sense. Second, why use a concrete floor for such a small shed? Usually concrete is used if you plan on having heavy objects inside. Did you price out a wood framed plywood floor? Thanks!
I really enjoy your videos and you have a lot of information, but can you walk through step-by-step on how to lay the concrete in building the sightings?
So buying them is the way to go then. My question would be how do the HomeDepot style sheds where you have to assemble them yourself, vs design and build your own. You were comparing to a plastic shed.
excellent build and each shed looks amazing. great job bro. However, $900 per shed is a bit steep. Would you be kind enough to perhaps provide a material breakdown?
Bro! Love the video! However, I’d be in shorts and a no shirt in your place. We get down to -42f where I live. However, I live bed in Malaysia for 9 years an anything below 78f I was in sweats and a coat. Keep up the good work!
I experimented with a cheap plastic shed, and the 100-degree summer recked it. I have to throw it away now. I also don't own the house but hate the garage being used for storage. I need at least an 8x8 or 8x5 shed. Then I need a small one for the lawn mower and garden tools. I work on my own cars and occasionally get paid top work on a car over the weekend. Having a spacious garage is awesome.
You can build a house or project for me anytime! While simple, I clearly see & regard the superior skillset, acumen, proportions, & details, GREAT JOB. Robert Steloff Design
I built a 12"'x7' shed w/slopeing roof.all materials are pallets 😂or free.bolts from big box roofing flashing habitual fo humanity. Foundation is leveled packed found with brick support. Tolal cost $ 300 USD.
My secret is get real boozed up apply some orajel then grip it and rip it if its bad enough. Make a regular dr. visit appointment and if there is no infection by the time it rolls around cancel the visit. I went to the fired before you hit the ground school.

I’m building my own shed right now - saw a plastic one for 400 at Costco, figured I could make my own for that but bigger and better fit for my space- I’m a teensy over budget because I went for beefier siding. It’s been good practice too.
The doors look awesome! Great all around. Curious as to why you built 5 vs one or two longer ones?
DIY absolutely. And tell wife, Thank you for her service!
Yes!! Thank you and I’ll tell her! 🙌🙌
I’m DIY’ing right now. Similar plan to what you built but just a tad taller, thicker, and wider. Great work!
I bought an 8x10 metal shed kit and covered the roof with self stick white roofing. The foundation is treated 6"X6"s, I buried about 2/3rds into the dirt. Been about 10 years, seems ok.
Awesome work, Donnie! They look great! 😃
And you could probably use one of them to keep bikes!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you and you’re right, one of them is holding our bikes 🚲

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I like your format and style. "Is it ------------------?" Thanks for talking to those who already have tools or want to buy them. That's another story of cost in acquiring tools. Great production and build. This confirmed not if I could, but should I really vs and swayed me from prefab product.
In the uk I wanted a belt and braces shed 16 x 9 foot shed in 3 x 2 inch framing with one inch tongue and groove floor and roof , with a 3/4 inch shiplap outside finish . All the timber was to be tanalised and the shed was wrapped in roofing membrane with three anti uv polymer windows . Only one company seemed to do this and was called beast sheds who had a website where you could design the shed you wanted . The total price was £3500 which I thought was expensive but I was going to take it as this design was the one I wanted . Then Covid hit and I was furloughed for 4 months so I decided to build my own , there was the odd thing I would have done differently but I was very pleased with the result and I saved myself £2000 less the cost of a nail gun which I now have for other projects like an arbour I built for £130 which was stronger , bigger and much more pleasing to the eye than the one I saw at a garden centre for three times the cost . It has put me on a journey where I have just completed some alcove cupboards in birch ply that are bespoke to my own design that I was quoted £4500 but even though I bought a £500 track saw and pocket hole jig , I did the job for £2000 . When I have used tradesmen in the past I find them expensive and no better end product and often worse than what I can do myself. My next project is fitted wardrobes in birch ply quoted £5500 but now I have a track saw with my gained knowledge of building the alcove cupboards I believe I can bring them in around £1500. The one big saving is labour but also care because it is you doing it for yourself so the job has to be right. Give it a go if you think you can do it and RUclips is a great teacher.
Similar for me, also in the UK. Wanted a garden room but from blocks, not timber, and a warm roof. There were extensive groundworks to do (footings for 3 retaining walls, lowering ground level by 1m across a 15m x 6m area, and footings and pouring of a 9m x 4m raft slab) ... but that's just digging, barrowing, dumping and gruntwork. None of the quotes I got were less than 44k GBP (!!!) so decided to have a go myself... with my only DIY experience being the changing of light bulbs.
So far, I've done it all (buy I did get a few concrete lorries and pumps for the footings and slab) and have got it to a point of being ready for 1st fix inside and cladding on the outside. I reckon my total build cost will come in at just under 18k and that includes a lot of (quite nice and resealable cordless tools, including a nail gun like you, that aren't really for DIY use).
I tell people who ask that it shows that if someone like me can do it then pretty much anyone can. Saves a lot of money but, for me, and more importantly, it keeps my mind occupied and it's good fun... especially choosing and buying a new power tool!
Amen!

We have a relative who bought a shed, and he paid over 5700 for a 8×12.
We are building a 8×12 with a higher pitch roof so we can have a loft for more storage with better lumber, and it will cost us around 2500, not counting our time. With the lack of quality today, it's a no-brainer
Great job. I'm curious, what was that cords free paint sprayer you used? So much easier than lugging around a compressor.
ER here in Tampa charged me $2,500 to wash my eye out after it was hit with a drop of acid. But I already had washed it out. I was there for 20 mins. ha ha. The US is wild. We are looking to make one shed like this. Happy to have found you!
3:10 anybody know what that thin sheet of wood is called. ??
The bottom plates don't look like treated lumber. If not, since it is contacting concrete, and more so because the concrete will be exposed to rain, etc. the bottom plate will likely rot within a few short years. Ideally, there should also be a vapor barrier under the plate - it can be something as simple as plastic sheeting. It's not super critical for something like this though.
They are built as sturdy as a home with what appear to be less than 16” centres. Using plywood wall panels and bigger spacing on the studs in addition to omitting the slab floor I bet you could do this for under $500
Thanks for posting this segment. I have a similar challenge with a need for additional storage and plan to utilize the space between my home and the privacy fence like yours. I appreciate the structural details you shared here and design plans. I have some D.l.Y. skills and plan to follow your example here, utilizing your ideas.
Do you have a plan available for this shed?
If you have the skill set I always recommend DIY. I would just have built larger and fewer sheds as well as prepped the base for the concrete. Thanks for your wife’s service. 👍

@@inspiringbuilds I am planning a diy shed and already have a concrete slab. Do I just set the wood on the concrete directly? Do I use pressure treated wood for the bottom pieces? Do I need to anchor to the concrete or the weight of the shed is sufficient to keep it from moving?
@@ltai0001 Always anchor to the concrete. Pressure treated wood for the bottom of the frame (just my preference). Doesn't matter the wood type if water can get in.
Wow!!! Awesome work and a great JOB.
Absolutely DIY....there is no other way! In the end the reward is a great experience and potentially money saved, if not, most importantly knowledge learnt.
I watched you pour concrete directly on grass and immediately knew, “this guy is a pro, and this is the way”. All that natural fiber will help keep the “foundation” solid for centuries!!
Zero base prep. Lol. Cmon
yea right ha-ha
Probably the customer will only buy the shed (and the seller will reuse the base to build more sheds and sell them)
lol, I hope it’s a sarcasm)) all this “natural fiber” will durn into dust and a bunch of holes that would cause a major fail. I met this a Mexican contractor that pours it directly onto grass with the same “natural fiber” bs.. 6mo fail rate 100%, but he can no longer be found once he takes the money.
@@brianallen140 It is a SHED. I have poured a slab with little if any prep and it lasted at least 10 years (when I moved away). I don't understand the attitude.
Love these and I like the different door designs. I may have missed why you built 5 smaller sheds instead of less large sheds.
Please explain
Nice job mate. Any reason why you sloped the roof to the front and not the back? Is it just preference or is there any technical reason?
great video but where are the details...I want to build just one exactly like the ones you built. I clicked on your templates link but does not have sheds
How are you going to maintain your fence and fence line with those so close to the fence
Dude you are an excellent builder. Very impressive and everything well built. Your Timed sped up Video and Camera angles are perfect , love your commentary during the whole video.
I’ve worked on 4-Special effects Movies in Hollyweird Calif. and I’ve seen big productions you definitely are not only an excellent builder but you could definitely start a channel with yours and others DYI’rs . Lighting was good, sound was good, I also liked you didn’t talk while building it you made it a documentary style Video after, Brilliant.
PS $ 8,000. for a Splinter is terrible and thievery. Shame on what the Medical field has become. I’ve had my own business for 36 yrs. Commercial Laundry Equipment, the last 12-years I worked full time as a nightime Custodian and did my own business during the Day and some weekends. The Medical and Dental coverage while raising 5-children, married 42yrs, Homeschooling all of them was the best move I ever did in my whole Self employment life. My Son got a Splinter in his foot,surgery $10,000., Daughter in hospital yeast infection, 3-days $33,000. Hate to admit it, the regular stable income, Medical, Dental, I’m retired now but, retirement- $600. Per Month till I die PERS, $36,000. savings account I didn’t put a dime in made it worth doing a night gig. Thanks 🙏 for sharing a fantastic Build and Video . God Bless You and your Family 🙏
Great work. Those doors look amazing. Doing it yourself is always the best option.
Thanks! I love DIYing and this project was really fun. Slightly challenging but fun
I don't think I would have ever considered doing different doors like that… But I love it!!! These look awesome!
6:26 what is the name of a paint gun ?
I wanted to start a woodworking business. So I needed a 12x32 shop. I shopped around for one and the cheapest I could find was around 18k for a bare bone shed. That's with no electric, insulation or garage door. if I wanted that included it would have cost me 30k. I can't afford that. So after some research and checking prices I realized it be cheaper to just build my own. So I got the concrete slab pour at 4 inches thick for $900, the insulation for $400, the electric for $150, the lumber and hardware for around $1500. I had the metal for the roof and siding already from a demo job. But if I had to pay for it then the ballpark price would probably be around 2k. So for under 5k and 3 months I got my dream shop. it's definitely cheaper to build it yourself and a rewarding experience! if you can recycle, reuse and repurpose materials that will help a lot on saving money.
I absolutely love these! I want to do a custom lean to across the entire backside of my garage that has the closed in storage on both ends & open gravel ground in the middle for my pool pump.
Nice. If asked, I would suggest getting those hinge fasteners on the inside of the door jams to make a thief's job a bit more difficult. Additionally, in my neighborhood, those concrete pads would constitute the need for permits. We can strap things to pads but the structure must be easily removed if needed. 🙂Watching your work... I'm going to have to get one of those circular saw guides.
I DIYed because the dimensions for my shed wasn't on the market and it had to fit on the side of my house where i wanted it 3 1/2 feet by 20 feet. If I could have bought it I would have, was decent project, but i agree most contractors are not good quality anymore, the ones that are usually are way to expensive as their time is valuable
I also have black widows, so it has to be sealed very well. I already have a big cemented patch so much would one cost without out cement?
Will the paint seal the wood so rain won’t ruin or warp the wood?
Not only would I do it, but I have built my own barn style shed, which is much bigger than those. I would do it again if needed too
Now that sounds like a fun build 👍👍
Sheds look great! What paint sprayer did you use, and would you recommend it? Thank you.
Where are the templates for this shed? I don’t see them on your website?
Facts . I had a home built through Lennar and it has been a nightmare. My home was supposed to be handicapped friendly due to my son having a disability and no it was not and the house been falling apart since day one of closing of November of last year. It is such a shame that they allow huge companies do this to hard-working citizens
There are videos about one inspector in particular calling out new home builders. It’s scary what gets covered up.
This is really amazing. Love the channel and your DIY builds. I’m looking to start 2 of these for my tools and landscape materials. Just wondering do you have a page with builds or material lists etc. ??
Those looks awesome! I was curious if rain gets inside or not without a roof above the door or not.
Thank you so much, and no water goes inside… we’ve had 4 heavy rain storms since the completion of the project and they remain fully dry inside. Now I may add a shed gutter to the front though. The rain comes off the roof and hits the dirt in front and splatters mud back onto the doors which is frustrating though.
nicely done…what paint sprayer did you use to paint the sheds with? Thanks. 😊
Im curious how they held up with two hurricanes that came to lovely Florida. Ps what part are you in I could use your help buildi😊ng mine
Nice, but only a skilled construction guy like you can do it so beautifully, a diy homeowner like me with no construction knowledge will have a hard time 😂. Btw, may I know what paint sprayer tools are you using. Thanks for sharing your video.
can you put up your plans? Love them and looking to build some for myself
Pretty cool project, just not sure about pouring concrete straight onto grass and using shingles on a low pitch roof.
What is the white edging on the roof before adding the shingles?
Definitely always try to DIY myself although that framing nail gun cost as much as one of those sheds I’m after at homedepot lol
looks great - which paint sprayer did you use? thanks for sharing
They look great. Great job. The color mustard isn’t that bad. Much applause 👏
I thought plywood goes to crap in the rain? It's cheaper for me to use timber but more convenient to use ply. I like the cedar trim at the end and the doors alot.
Great video. I think you did a great job and they look awesome. I need to do a similar project and have two questions. First, why pitch them forward towards the door? I understand that when they're up against a building but these are free standing and the shorter entrance doesn't make sense. Second, why use a concrete floor for such a small shed? Usually concrete is used if you plan on having heavy objects inside. Did you price out a wood framed plywood floor? Thanks!
i didn't understand.. the prefab cost 850 diy 940 the pro 6000 each ?
Absolutely and congrats, the sheds look great. Dave & The Girls
They cost 940$ because you did an awesome job and cut no corners! Cept those corners that were supposed to be cut! Great job!
what paint gun did you use i want to buy one thank you
I don't see the template on your website?
Will there be a dimension cut sheet for these sheds ?
Nice work. Why did you decide on building five, instead of one or two larger ones, better wind resistance?
I really enjoy your videos and you have a lot of information, but can you walk through step-by-step on how to lay the concrete in building the sightings?
You just convinced me to build my own. It is nice to have skills. Those doors are awesome. Good wife!! :)
this is awesome, love the final design.
What paint gun is that?
What is the part number of the paint sprayer you're using?
i love it, I want to try and build my own now thanks for the video you are such a great craftsman
So buying them is the way to go then. My question would be how do the HomeDepot style sheds where you have to assemble them yourself, vs design and build your own. You were comparing to a plastic shed.
One thing you didn’t discuss is quality. I’ll bet for just slightly more money the diy shed was much better built than the prefab.
$8600 for a splinter? I'm starting to feel like staying in Canada isn't such a bad idea
Very sturdy sheds! Keep up the good work 👍🏼.
love the video and for all the DIYr this easier than you think - no real special tools you couldnt rent or use the "manual" version -
excellent build and each shed looks amazing. great job bro. However, $900 per shed is a bit steep. Would you be kind enough to perhaps provide a material breakdown?
Bro! Love the video! However, I’d be in shorts and a no shirt in your place. We get down to -42f where I live. However, I live bed in Malaysia for 9 years an anything below 78f I was in sweats and a coat. Keep up the good work!
I experimented with a cheap plastic shed, and the 100-degree summer recked it. I have to throw it away now. I also don't own the house but hate the garage being used for storage. I need at least an 8x8 or 8x5 shed. Then I need a small one for the lawn mower and garden tools. I work on my own cars and occasionally get paid top work on a car over the weekend. Having a spacious garage is awesome.
You can build a house or project for me anytime! While simple, I clearly see & regard the superior skillset, acumen, proportions, & details, GREAT JOB.

I built a 12"'x7' shed w/slopeing roof.all materials are pallets 😂or free.bolts from big box roofing flashing habitual fo humanity. Foundation is leveled packed found with brick support. Tolal cost $ 300 USD.
Solid build....
The different door designs. Good idea. I wouldn't have believed it.
You probably want to use Ground contact grade lumber for the ones that touch ground.
I would not diy but would love to hire you to do mine. you and your wife have great taste! love the colors and designs!
Well done. If I weren't so afraid to use certain power tools, I would give it a try.
Is this like one mini shed for each kid or family member? Nice work again! I'm about to build a bigger version of one of these.
Cheer~~~a simple roofed structure, typically made of wood or metal, used as a storage space, a shelter for animals, or a workshop.😊
how about all the tools, that cement mixer had to a costly, saw, etc... but still better quality like you said.
If you can build a shed, you can DIY your emergency room visit. Superglue and bit of tape for the win.
My secret is get real boozed up apply some orajel then grip it and rip it if its bad enough. Make a regular dr. visit appointment and if there is no infection by the time it rolls around cancel the visit. I went to the fired before you hit the ground school.
Definitely.
ER if the splinter is in your eye, but otherwise soak in some epson salt water at night and maybe wrap it if it’s annoying during the day.
Do you have a list of everything you used?
Man those doors turned out amazing!
🔥 These sheds look awesome! Love the doors. Thanks for sharing 👍 Saving this video for a future project for my channel- research mode now! I’m in Florida too.
i cant find your design for the shed on your website
