Thank you Sir. Very helpful info. This is what I have been looking for. I will be putting a 10 x 10 shed on my unleveled property up in north central Michigan. Any advice will be appreciated.
Kudos for the Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one off 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 amazing results with it.
Alright, here goes! I'm attempting this shed this weekend to house my chickens. I've viewed probably 50 different videos on how to build a shed and yours is by far the easiest for me to comprehend. Thank you for taking time to coach us newbies along! Wish me luck!
How are there 574 thumbs down? Anyway, great video, great explanation and thank you for NOT adding a bunch of useless commentary. Straight to the point and EXACTLY what I needed to see to build our floor for our new 10' × 14' Storage Shed😮
There are other people on RUclips who are showing how to build stuff, but Shannon is much more detailed to the core, even to the smallest of things, he let you know. A real teacher. I have learnt so much from him and gain some confidence. Thanks again.
This was one of the first “building stuff” type videos i ever watched. Didn’t realize it’s been 8 years. I’ve built decks, fences, furniture, desks, made knives, carved handles for tools, made countless other things I can’t even remember. Crazy this popped up in my recommended videos. Thanks for the inspiration and a great video to show people how it’s done.
Thanks so much Shannon. By following your videos I've been able build my first shed! I hand nailed everything and it took some weekends over a few months but I got there. Of all the videos online your's are the best and easiest to follow..Thanks again.
Not sure what I can add to all the other complimentary comments other than to say it's great to watch someone at work, who knows what he's doing, does it well and can explain it in a way that even a novice, like me, can understand. Thank you.
I have many people question the reason I installed the plywood the direction I did , In a typical larger floor you should install the plywood perpendicular to the floor joist using a T&G plywood or OSB. I wanted a PT plywood floor in this shed , PT does not come in T&G sheets (maybe special order ?) so to keep a nice solid plywood joint I turned the sheets so that the joint is fully sitting on a joist instead of having to add an entire row of blocking in the floor to support it. For a floor this size it was the best option for what I needed.
Robert Esposito Yeah. There are few things I like more than Ask This Old House And this is one of them. This guy makes me feel like I’m his Apprentice.
This video was so helpful. I think you do a great job explaining the process to those of us who know nothing about building. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi I'm Marjon from Toronto,Honestly until now i can't imagine that i build a nice deck in my backyard this is the first time in my life to build a deck .And i learned a lot since that i watching for Shanon video it helps a lots.Very clear to explaining everything.Thank you be safe always and God bless.
ACTUALLY TELLS ME INFORMATION HOW TO BUILD CORRECTLY SINCE I'VE NEVER REALLY KNOWN EXACTLY HOW. I'VE BEEN GUESSING AT TIMES, AND THEN OF COURSE I AM NOT SQUARE. THANKS SO FAR
Shannon does the best "do it your self videos" I have seen, and I have seen many from other guys, right after watching any of his videos I feel like getting my ass off of the couch and start building something, it's inspiring, thanks a lot sr.
My parents just raised the issue of building them a storage shed. I have some experience, but this is a great explanation for all steps. I knew about the corrosion, but GREAT tip to the general viewers about the corrosiveness of the materials (psi treated & nails). Can't wait to view parts 2+.
i'm a french canadian ( in Québec) and i used all he's videos to finishing my basement and now its shed time and love he's video , simply to understand , explain very well each step carefully .

I really appreciate your vids on building a shed, I used your vids as guidance for a 1st time shed build for a client. The shed come out very nice. Thanks
Very well presented: clear, concise carpentry without time consuming unrelated bells and whistles. One minor addition: if one is, in fact building a skidable (is that a word) structure, it may help to cut both ends of the skids to create an upward curve much like the shovel of a ski or snow sled rail, which will enable the structure to skid along the ground without the square edge of the skids digging into irregular terrain. Thanks, Shannon.
Hi, great video! Do you have a video made showing the different ways to sit that cabin on actual ground? how to level everything to start building? thanks
Sir, FIRSTLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT AND PUBLIC SPIRITED NATURE TO SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE. Your style is so good and content is great. You are so good with the balancing the what and why and why not ...... and the width and depth of your knowledge is superb. I am a life long (62 yrs) diy, starting with maintaining, additions to my own homes and vehicles in to running my own racecar (all in UK) and, ( now in in northern Ohio USA) rebuilding fire damage house and maintenance and improvements of seven rental homes. So please the videos coming, so important for me as although the building techniques in UK and USA are pretty much the same THEY ARE completely DIFFERENT: -) thank you thank you thank you.
I see you installed the plywood parallel with the joists. I was trained to attach plywood perpendicular to the floor joists for a stiffer floor. This applies to the roof and walls too. The grain running in opposite directions makes a stronger construction.
Yes, as mentioned many times in these comments I did this because it is only a small shed and I wanted the plywood joint to land on the joist to keep the floor solid and not have to add blocking under the joint between every joist if it were turned the normal direction. You are correct though, in most cases it should be run perpendicular to the joists, and I should have mentioned that.
You are absolutely correct. As the instructor mentioned it was for ease because it's only a shed but that definitely should have been explained in the video because more often than not the way the plywood was laid is really wrong. I've seen people lose their jobs over this.
I made my outside sheathing that is on the walls hang down over the edges of the floor. So I made the floor 1" less than what I wanted for a finished size because my sheathing was 1/2" thick.
@Humpty Dumpty haha damn 7 years ago his comment you replied to! I used to agree with you now i am unsure because ive seen many kreg jig screws that are very weak and easy to pull apart as opposed to a pallet with nails that is always super tough to take apart. What are your thoughts on that? Coincidence?
@Humpty Dumpty i used to agree with you but i think they both have their time for application. After all you dont frame a house with screws do you? Nails are more ductile to withstand the force of a hammer and screws are more brittle to withstand twisting forces. Screws tend to snap off and nails tend to get pushed out.
@Humpty Dumpty i am living in quebec canada and there are impressive looking churches here all over the place. It must have been so hard to build they are enormous. Thats a very cool job you did! I am looking to build a small house in the near future so thats why im looking at building videos.
@Humpty Dumpty yes i would love to see more details like that thanks for the tips appreciate it. It really is amazing what was built and the methods used that are becoming forgotten. Much more beautiful than todays buildings i find.
I purchased a Porter-Cable compressor/3 gun (finish and brad nailers) combo and purchased a bigger nailer separately for 3-3.5 in ring shank nails with heads. Best tool purchase I've made. Have had them several years and see the same set always for sale. This is my recommendation.
This video, as well as others posted on their site, are very informative and when narrated. Extremely helpful. I am planning on building a shed using the tips, means and methods implemented in these tutorials. Kudos and thank you. You are a master craftsman. Keep the videos coming.
Alright, I feel its time I invested in a nailer. How good is the Ryobi P320 for projects like these? What nailer would you recommend to a weekend project warrior?
That Ryobi P320 is only a 18 gauge brad nailer, no good for framing. The paslode framing nailer I use in these videos is a good nailer but may be a little pricey ($500) for a weekend warrior. If you already own a good sized compressor then a air powered framing nailer would maybe be better
HouseImprovements I understand the bigger the better, but what size air compressor would you say is sufficient for a project like this? BTW Thank you for taking time out to reply to your viewer's comments and for uploading honest simple informative videos.
Would also like to know what size compressor would be good. I have a PC pancake compressor, 150 PSI that works well with the little nail gun that it came with.
Mike Metheny I bought a whole "set" of Stanley-Bostich nail guns & a 150 psi pancake compressor on eBay for around $700. All items were "reconditioned" and sold by various retailers, I didn't buy anything from private party's. Anyway, for my $700 investment, in addition to the compressor, I got a framing nailer, 18 ga brad nailer, stapler, finish nailer, and another smaller brad nailer (don't recall the size, smaller than 18 ga, tho). As I said, all were "reconditioned" Bostich products; some arrived in the original plastic wrap as if they had never been opened. A couple of items had some very minor scratches that I really had to look for to find (and I looked everything over VERY carefully!). They were purchased from at least 3 different sellers, and everything has worked perfectly. It was a great investment for my weekend projects. So, take a look at eBay, you'll find some great deals.
Hey Shannon, I have to echo Adam Phillips comment. It was my first construction project and it turned out pretty well according to the neighbours. Your video regarding the foundation/Base was the key to it's success, Many thanks ...Liam.
Many people have pointed this out, and yes if you are building your house run the plywood perpendicular to the floor trusses. I ran it this way so that the joint would completely sit on the joist so I could avoid the cost of using tung and groove plywood on the floor.
Thanks so much Shannon I have been watching your videos for ages now and have learned oh so much and I was just in the market for building a Shed -- You are wonderful and I can't say enough about how easy you make it to learn and understand. AWESOME Shannon keep up the great work.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Great video series, the way you explain things makes me think I could build one, next summer and first retirement project. Having said that, shorts and black socks, LMBO!
+sherpaderp dingo Nails have stronger shear strength, so they are more appropriate for framing. Screws are more suited to attaching things that one doesn't want to pull off, of which decking and siding are two examples. I personally prefer nails for the whole job, but that's just personal preference.
Rodney Fisk I've used both. With framing I find it way sturdier with screws for whatever reason......like when I pull or hang on it (for framing, for example) it seems more stable. I guess whatever works.
+sherpaderp dingo lol i was thinking the same thing. nails are just easier. screws are so much better for holding shit together in the long run. nails tend to loosen and you often have to renail or screw and glue later anyway.
+sherpaderp dingo He's correct. He's not talking about the withdrawal (force required to pull the screw/nail out). He's talking about the shear force, or the force perpendicular the screw/nail. Screws are typically more brittle to their nail counterpart, but hold on a lot stronger.
How in the hell can this video get 443 "Thumbs Down"? Are there that many people that are that jealous of a very well explained example of putting a floor together? Either jealous or accidentally clicked on the wrong thumb? I sure would like to watch the one they approve of!
Thank you for the GREAT tutorial, for someone who has never done this it was very informative! Explaining as you were doing helped to understand the process more clearly! Looking forward to Part II.
This video is excellent. I am not going to build a wooden shed after much thought. I'm going to buy a resin shed because I'm selling this house in about 2 years. I'll build a shed at my next house. Saving your videos.
Build a wooden shed now and it’ll be worth more than plastic when you go to sell. Also, when you build your second shed, at your new place, you’ll build it even better and faster. And that’s the one you’ll be living with for many years. Let the guy who buys your house pay for your mistakes!
Awesome man! I just finished my pre-apprenticeship program and boot-camp and I almost carpenter union apprentice! And I hope to get a job soon and start working like Finish Carpenter. Your lessons very useful for me! Big lk , Max, Seattle WA
Union wages too high in a competitive market but that's OK means more customers will choose the non-union labor based on quality and price no I am not gonna put up over this much work cut the union will frown upon it

Hello everyone, I've been studying constructing sheds and discovered a great website at Wilfs Shed Formula ( I found it on google)
I made my outside sheathing that is on the walls hang down over the edges of the floor. So I made the floor 1" less than what I wanted for a finished size because my sheathing was 1/2" thick.
@Humpty Dumpty haha damn 7 years ago his comment you replied to!

@Humpty Dumpty if you really are a structural engineer with 50 yrs exp. i value your opinion by the way. I am by no means an expert, just curious
@Humpty Dumpty i am living in quebec canada and there are impressive looking churches here all over the place. It must have been so hard to build they are enormous. Thats a very cool job you did! I am looking to build a small house in the near future so thats why im looking at building videos.

so nice you make so easy really help. thank you
Man thank you so much, I learned what I thought would take a school year in 25 mins, I can now frame and build the floor
This question may have already been asked but how much did this building cost?
Just make up a list of materials and give them to your local lumber supplier. They will usually give you a better price if you bundle it all together.
Shannon is a awesome Carpender, Thanks Shannon for all the videos you do to teach us how to build things ourselves!!
Thank you you have finally made me understand what tf I’m doing haha
This video, as well as others posted on their site, are very informative and when narrated. Extremely helpful. I am planning on building a shed using the tips, means and methods implemented in these tutorials. Kudos and thank you. You are a master craftsman. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks Fred, glad you like our channel/site. please pass the word to everyone you know. thanks again
Alright, I feel its time I invested in a nailer. How good is the Ryobi P320 for projects like these? What nailer would you recommend to a weekend project warrior?
That Ryobi P320 is only a 18 gauge brad nailer, no good for framing. The paslode framing nailer I use in these videos is a good nailer but may be a little pricey ($500) for a weekend warrior. If you already own a good sized compressor then a air powered framing nailer would maybe be better
HouseImprovements I understand the bigger the better, but what size air compressor would you say is sufficient for a project like this? BTW Thank you for taking time out to reply to your viewer's comments and for uploading honest simple informative videos.
Hitachi nailer..Their the best. You can find a 3 pack combo kit at Lowes or Home depot.
Would also like to know what size compressor would be good. I have a PC pancake compressor, 150 PSI that works well with the little nail gun that it came with.
Mike Metheny I bought a whole "set" of Stanley-Bostich nail guns & a 150 psi pancake compressor on eBay for around $700. All items were "reconditioned" and sold by various retailers, I didn't buy anything from private party's. Anyway, for my $700 investment, in addition to the compressor, I got a framing nailer, 18 ga brad nailer, stapler, finish nailer, and another smaller brad nailer (don't recall the size, smaller than 18 ga, tho). As I said, all were "reconditioned" Bostich products; some arrived in the original plastic wrap as if they had never been opened. A couple of items had some very minor scratches that I really had to look for to find (and I looked everything over VERY carefully!). They were purchased from at least 3 different sellers, and everything has worked perfectly. It was a great investment for my weekend projects. So, take a look at eBay, you'll find some great deals.
Looking to build myself the frame work of a tiny house on wheels. These vids are gold for this.
Wow you could see the sparks from when the nails were shot into another nail. I'm shocked the camera picked that up.
+MickLawless the guns do that anyway
.
Yep. It was the anvil in the nail gun hitting the nails that caused the sparks.
Those sparks are from the gun's striker hitting the nail head, not from the nail hitting other nails.
a true professional. I've learned so much from your videos.
I appreciate that!
Suddenly, i need a nail gun.
and dont forget the impact wrench.
And I just realized I need a cordless saw
I ordered one within a day of watching this :)
+Chris Blaylock How much did your nail gun cost and what model is it? Just curious.

+sherpaderp dingo lol i was thinking the same thing. nails are just easier. screws are so much better for holding shit together in the long run. nails tend to loosen and you often have to renail or screw and glue later anyway.
+sherpaderp dingo He's correct. He's not talking about the withdrawal (force required to pull the screw/nail out). He's talking about the shear force, or the force perpendicular the screw/nail. Screws are typically more brittle to their nail counterpart, but hold on a lot stronger.
Gotcha, thanks! Watching video number 2 now! Realized I would have been a mess without your great videos!!! Thanks for all the help!
nails are not stronger than screws
in shear strength, they are.
Twist shafts nails just as good
@@jasonmorehouse3756 yes you are correct
This video just saved my life. Thank you!!!!
Hi Shannon, I'm learning, what ever in RUclips videos,but your video's are the besssst!!!!!!
Thank you for such an informative video. I am getting to build a simple platform and this is a real help.
This is one of the best tutorials on the RUclips.
Great job Shannon , working and talking , you make it looks so easy , you are the best, thanks.
How in the hell can this video get 443 "Thumbs Down"? Are there that many people that are that jealous of a very well explained example of putting a floor together? Either jealous or accidentally clicked on the wrong thumb? I sure would like to watch the one they approve of!
Shannon, another job well done. Thank you. I learned something from you.
You rock! Thank you very much for all the videos, they are great and very detailed!
this man is a very good instructure ,,,,,,,,,,,,, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had no idea it was this simple. Thankyou for this series.
I’m loving this video. Such detail. Thank you I’m learning so much.
prolly the most straightforward tutoria. Thx!
Thank you for the GREAT tutorial, for someone who has never done this it was very informative! Explaining as you were doing helped to understand the process more clearly! Looking forward to Part II.
Love the thorough explanations on all your videos Shannon.Thank you.
You're the man, Shanny. Perfect timing for this video.
Guys I am learning woodworking shed plans at *WoodBlueprints. Com* I recommend this website all you guys who are beginner or advance in woodworking
A great video to help me with yet another project I have been struggling with. Thank you!!!
Shannon, i love all your videos. i hope you are well and keep up the great work
Thank you! Will do!
This video is excellent. I am not going to build a wooden shed after much thought. I'm going to buy a resin shed because I'm selling this house in about 2 years. I'll build a shed at my next house. Saving your videos.
Build a wooden shed now and it’ll be worth more than plastic when you go to sell. Also, when you build your second shed, at your new place, you’ll build it even better and faster. And that’s the one you’ll be living with for many years. Let the guy who buys your house pay for your mistakes!
Merci beaucoup , de tres bonne videos, I learn every day with you, Salut from Montreal ...
Damn Shannon......back at it again with you awesome home improvement videos!! Again, thank you for this great video tutorial! very helpful!
+Erick Perez Thanks man
Thanks for making a complicated hobby seem easy!
Awesome man! I just finished my pre-apprenticeship program and boot-camp and I almost carpenter union apprentice! And I hope to get a job soon and start working like Finish Carpenter. Your lessons very useful for me! Big lk , Max, Seattle WA
Union wages too high in a competitive market but that's OK means more customers will choose the non-union labor based on quality and price no I am not gonna put up over this much work cut the union will frown upon it
Thank you so much for this video, I will be using to do my shed next week. I saw your video you posted today, I'm just sorry I didn't find you sooner!
Jesus?! ...that framing nailer is Next Level!!
Great video - I'm a fan after watching the first 2 - great information and very interesting.
Nice video, man. I'm feeling a little better about tackling this myself now.
i’m going to build a shed as a summer activity, and these videos helped a lot! thank you shannon!
