Please note: I sloped the roof towards the front to avoid sending water into my neighbors yard

#woodworking #shed #makesomething
I love the look of satisfaction on your face when you picked up the door and it worked. There is nothing like self accomplishment and gratification when you make something and it works and is functional. Good job.
Funny. You said, “Project this summer”. In the south, I’m waiting for winter to do wood work again. So hot down here.
Jeez I know it.. I’m living in Houston now and it’s killer
Same. Summer projects means I’m indoors lol
Yeah,San Antonio and I definitely understand the waiting till winter even for the indoor projects... LOL
Glad to see the dog is loved. Was so worried. So many dogs are not. Thank you for being kind to your dog.
I have been a builder for over 30 years and really enjoyed watching you construct this shed from your own ideas learning as you go to make it better. I taught myself everything I know about building and continually learn as there are always different and sometimes better ways to build things. You rocked this build, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! It always amazes me when I learn a new trick for something I’ve been doing one way for years
This is by far my favorite shed build ever. Amazing work, and thank you for the inspiration.
Nice that you were considerate about how your neighbor might be affected by your shed . It's always a good Idea to keep your neighbor as a friend . Great job . You have my thumbs up .
That was an excellent video! I loved the way you stated what you were going to do, then came back to talk us through the next step and you had a diagram. Even the Paw Boss got in an made things lively. You have great skills great job.
I'm so glad I found and watch you shed video! I've been searching for a hinged door for a shed and yours is the first that I found and it's great!! It looks awesome!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
What a unique design...really brilliant. This will get around my local planning laws where sheds are not allowed to have a verandah.
I've built quite a bit and I have to say, what an awesome video. I enjoyed the simplicity and the humbleness. Making your own ideas a reality using what you've experienced and learned or self taught along the way. Great job my man
So inspirational. I'm new to the craft... I've found the peace I've spent 40 years searching for in it. Your video and the humble yet amazing skill it captures is the stuff that will keep me going during the times I'm frustrated and even more so when discouraged by others. Thank you from the only place in my soul that's ever at peace.
Dude, you rock! I have long been one to "engineer on the fly", but I am impressed. You have skills. And you did it on the ground with a few tools! It's reassuring to folks who don't have the Norm Abrams/Tom Silva workshops and tool collections that one can still turn out a functional and well-built project. And Bailey is a real sweetheart! I think she would get along great with my pittie, Riley (whose name was Bailey for one day till my wife changed her mind!)
Absolutely exactly what I was looking for in my backyard. Those dowel hinges are genius and the swinging door is definitely trick! Thanks for sharing
Glad to hear it! You’ll have to show me yours when it’s done!
@@johnbarneswood I think over time the wood hinges will expand making it hard to open and close. I would suggest PVC hinge and PVC sleeves. Great idea though. The face you had when the job was done says it all. :)
Absolutely brilliant, I love this project John. 👏👏👏👏
thank you. a very similar size shed to what I would like to make. love the idea for the doors. champion!! cheers.
Great video, design and build!
Cheers from London England 👍😎🏴
I just found your video, and I enjoyed watching you make your design come to life. Good job! I subscribed so I can see what else you do.
Yes, I know that feeling when it’s not coming together as planned. You got to take a breather, stand back & say “now what did I do wrong?” Then, I have a mantra that comes in to play… “never be afraid to undo what you did”. Enjoyed your video.
I have built many things. Going to build a garden shed for son-in-law. Great ideas here. Really appreciate the subdued music.
Thanks Mark!
I second the comment about the music!
Very Nice John, thank you, I'm a lady that wants to get a tiny home , but I will need that EXTRA space for my tools and Posible washer and that little extra space... I truly enjoyed watching your video especially ****Those dowel hinges are genius and the swinging door .. your dog was sweet touch too.Thanks for sharing and you showed us the total cost and that is what I was also looking for THANK YOU ..
Wow Wow Wow I want one. You really enjoyed and that energy - Deeply rooted into your personality there is a passion and look of satisfaction- die for
You got some mad skill with that circular saw.👍 I like the idea of dowels to make the doors open from bottom.
I love the roll up door you made. You are so talented. Well done.
Thank you so much!
Really good job and way to think outside the box. I like it.
Absolutely Brilliant loved the design and the build. Well Done. I don't know if you have moved since this video, but i would take it down in easy sections maybe not the flooring, and put it back together in the new place.
Stay Safe,

I love the idea of the flip top door !! I kept looking for some type of hardware to make it work but this is grate !! I might do a big single door for the shade and thay way I can roll in my work bench !! I have no in a mobile home park so this will be a grate thing !! Awesome job !!!
I’m gonna build a similar shed but just bigger overall but for the flip doors (both doors) I’m gonna use gas struts, they should hold as long as the doors are not ridiculously heavy. I think instead of 2x4 you can switch to 1x2 for the doors only with the 1/4” plywood. Struts from SUV’s found at the local junkyard should do the trick.
Like that jar lid suggestion! Good build!
A man with all the gear, a great idea, and most important,the skill to do it. That method for the up and over door is brilliant
Thanks! Had so much fun making this
Absolute genius my friend. I really enjoyed watching this build. What a wonderful design. 👏🏼👏🏼 Hi from the UK.✋🏻
Thank you Mik! Glad you enjoyed it
genius? That's generous
Very cool. Like the dowels on the one door. Could be a 'secret' door if the other was just a wall with no hardware. Wouldn't need a lock because no one would be able to get in and out quickly.
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing, I will be doing something like this with a smaller scale in the spring of 2024!
Thanks man! You’ll have to send me a pic when you finish your shed. Happy building
Wow nice job on your shed this is Excellent I like it 😎👍🤟👊👏👏
Thanks so much for sharing your building process looking to build some similar. Big Help!!
You’re welcome. Happy building!
@JohnBarnes thanks for keeping it simple! You are an awesome puppy dad...she's sweet. I'm getting ready to make my own workshop. I have to go with what I can find for free unfortunately. Thanks for the inspiration...Nice to see the ppe! Looking forward to learning more from you before I really get started with my Dusty Wood Adventures!
That dowel door is pure genius!! Definitely including that concept!! I'd hug you if I lived there...lol. very unique! I'm going to plot how to add mosquito netting that hangs down when the door is open...thanks so much!
Awesome! Thank you for the kind words. I hope you find the perfect workshop that suites your needs.
Nice job John !
I’ve spent all day looking for shed ideas until I stumbled upon yours, I like this design with the exception of a little wider and also I want both doors to tilt up and I am going to add gas struts strong enough to hold both doors I think two struts per door should be fine. The struts will be placed similar to those found on suv hatch doors and they should hold. Can’t wait til start my project.
Sounds like a fun project. Send me some pics when you finish it!
Really admire your work and love to have similar shed in my garden but our weather in the tropics is simply not forgiving. Too bad.
This video is a good example of keeping it simple. I have a tendency to WAY over think and over engineer things, when a simple sketch and some on-the-fly problem solving would do just fine. Great video!
Thank you! Paralysis by analysis is an old friend of mine haha
@@johnbarneswood This dude is saying people's dreams are simple. What an asshole.
@@NMSUbanwagon Hot damn, you're right!
@@johnbarneswood lol. Good to see we are still friends
Awesome design and build. And also great video and explanation! This has got my mind going big time on how to apply this.
Thanks Logan!

I see a potting shed in my future.. thank-you for the wonderful video.
That sounds fun! You should film it
Nice work! It would be nice to find a way to use your awning as a workbench if you needed it - pivot out and slide to waist height somehow?
Nicely done! Wood glue would have been a good idea on those small pieces.
you are fantastic! I don't understand well English but because your picture are very cleary I fallow you. THANKSMVERY MUCH
Glad you found it helpful!
Liverpool legend! Well done Barnesy!
Thanks! That’s exactly what I was looking for!
super job great vid no messing nicely explained
I like the swing up door.
I love the idea of the flip top door
Amazing! Enjoy it!
Great work!!
Nicely done.
Top job mate. All the best from Australia
Thanks man! Cheers
You should be happy with yourself you've come up with some clever ideas well done my friend
Nice work, i think i will try building one like this in my yard, i wonder why you build two doors with diffrent opening mechanisme?
Nice job. Just what I was looking for.
Thank you!
great video man i hope you have a great day
A few things ida done differently. At first I was like why isn’t he using hinges? However I do like your dowel concept. Build on!
good job.. neat little shed/storage buiilding!!
Thanks Ric!
@@johnbarneswood spammer alert.
superb job
Excellent tutorial , you sped up the video yet allowed us to to see the necessary steps of the process still , well done !
Thanks for sharing.
Great Job Congratulations !
Thanks Felix!
I was thinking of doing this but also to have a fold out deck as well
Sounds awesome. Do it
Great job 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Thanks! I got some good ideas from this video!
Great to hear Bobby!
typically you want to angle the roof where it wont dump water on the door side of the shed and ideally away from the house.
Yeah I agree with you. For this project I was trying to keep all the elements in my yard and not my neighbors, so that’s why I angled it the way I did
@@johnbarneswood no problem didnt see the whole picture. Either way good job
Interesting build!
What a skilled carpenter. Enjoyed it.
Thanks Chidozie!
Great project :)
Glad you like it!
Men rediscovering themselves. When we build things with our own hands and tools satisfaction goes high.
Remember that thought, when you look at the kids your wife created within her own body; stay respectful guys! 😊 Let's not take everyday miracles for granted..
@@cableknitter7346 🙄🙄 gee.....
Any chance of getting the plans with measurments? 😀
Excellent
Nice project, with all that's been going on with the world have you moved also are there any videos of how you fitted it out or used it to make anything?
I ended up moving to Houston about a year ago and have a couple videos setting up my new shop if you’re interested. And yes! I recommend checking out my construction lumber bed build video where I used this shop
Like the shed and the dog!
Thanks!
Great video and nice construction - May be when move redesign the shed so its higher at the front.... so if it rains it rains down the back not down the front...
Thank you! I wanted to keep everything in my yard and not my neighbor’s behind the shed.
This is pretty cool.I was wondering why you wouldn't slope the roof the other way. Rain falling off the back end would allow for using the shed more conveniently. Could capture with a gutter and control it with a rain barrel.
Because the back end faces his neighbor's yard. He mentioned that he did that somewhere in the video (notice the little fence). It seems the house is a semi with two tenants.
Wow great job. Gave me a lot of new ideas 🤘🎃
Fantastic! Happy building
I love this design! Thank you for sharing it. I'll try it with 2x3's. You think it'll be OK?
2x3s should work just fine for this size shed. Glad you liked the design! Enjoy the build
@@johnbarneswood Thanks for responding. I'll get started by Summer.
Good job
Thanks!
Great work.
Thanks Corey!
First off, I'm from the future 2021 when lumber costs an arm and a leg. So you probably will be taking the shed with you, Ekkkkkkk!
Nice "temporary " shed. I need to build something similar but with lumber being so outrageous these days a plastic shed might be cheaper though not near as fun and customizable. Very nicely done John.
PS: thank you for not blowing my ears off with the music. A vast majority of the people that do videos these days seem to think it's funny to blast their music at 2 to 3 times the volume of their speaking voice. If one adjusts the volume down for the music, you can't hear the speaking and if you adjust for the speaking your hearing is damaged by the music blasting.
Do you have like a layout or something to guide the work? thank you
At 2:29 your dog was actually telling your neighbor's dogs "see? In the end I taught my dad to dig some holes" 😂
Just what I needed for my back yard -looks great ! How long did it take you to make that shed ?
Roughly 2 full days of work
You inspired me to build my shed. Unfortunately I ordered my lumber from Lowes and got complete junk. They failed to pick it up as well. My dream is mostly ruined but I will try and salvage what I have. I'm going to Home Depot from for future lumber.
That’s shitty man. Hope you’re able to see that dream come to reality!
I sent my husband to get wood for a deck. 5 hours later I called the store to check on him. He was still in the yard looking for straight lumber. Best way is to be there when they pick it or you get everyone else's discards - sadly.
Awesome job 👏👏👏. Came out super nice in the end. Congratulations and it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi nice job I am looking forward to do a shed soon and saw your video and like it but I just have one question the side walls are 6 and 4 high and the back is 8 feet tall right!
Close! The front (doors) are 6’-6” and the back is 8’ tall. Hope you have a great build. Shoot me some pics when you’re done
Hey john - what size dowels did you use? looks like 1.5" but can't tell from video
You’re right on the money
you tube suggested your video - guess it knows gems ;-)
I have built a few sheds and although My sheds are good for me - I am wanting to extend one of my sheds - your video + video editing + presentation are top notch ;-)
I simply love your idea of lifting door to create shade :-) this part of your build I will steal (the idea ) the arms to lock in place and dowels as hinges are great
mind me for saying - why did you not make door open higher as you would bump your head at the height you made ? but still an great idea pal :-)
Thank you Garfield! Honestly that was an oversight. I just put the hinge where I thought it would look best and ran with it. In hindsight, I should have been higher up
Is there link for the metal shelves that you're using for wood storage?
amzn.to/3knqo62
Here you go! These things are awesome and extremely strong
Dam , master builder, where have you been all the time hiding?! Come out in the OPEN more! Loved this video! Do simple patio decks too! Is your dog a pro too?!
How did the base look when you took it down? Did the treated wood resting on the ground breakdown much?
The wood was just dirty, but fully sturdy and zero breakdown from what I saw. It was there for about two years
Ditto to all the comments! Really nice job.
Thank you Desiree!!
I would have just put a hinge on a 2by4 so it would swing down in the middle of the door it would have held it up a lot simpler.
awsome job....why buy when you can make it yourself...nice work
what angle did you cut the top of the 2x4s that roof goes on?
It was fairly shallow, maybe 5 degree
Planning to build a shed also beside my house for gardening. Noticed that you builded it without ventilation gaps. Dont know your locations climate but how is the the moisture level after 1,5 years? Here in Finalnd moisture can get high and mold start to grow with deficient ventilation.
Great point. This is in Iowa, and I built it as a temporary (2 year) shed. It’s now been disassembled and the wood repurposed in my newer workshop videos in Houston. Check them out!
He did install ventilation gaps . The corragated roof panels provide venting automaticly just by their design . watch the video again .
Are there any plans?
excelente! me gusta mucho!👍
Thank you! Glad you liked it
Dude...your good.
