  • Shed plans: dieter.me/product-category/pl... Building a shed using decking boards is a great way to save money. It's suprisingly how solid this shed actually is.

    Just to clarify: This was used as a temporarily work shed, so that's why there are no sheating on the walls, simple roof, and no foundation. However, it would work fine as a regular shed if you add sheating, a metal roof and a good foundation. Some people comment that this is 2x6 and not decking boards, which is completely wrong. These are close to 1x5, and they are pressure treated decking boards. These are the cheapest decking boards available here where I live, and they're half the price of 2x4's. This may of course not be the case other places in the world. The point was to use the cheapest lumber I could find to prove that you necessarily don't need "construction" lumber to make a shed. Finally, the shed is still standing, and have been through some heavy winds and rain without any problems. I'm soon taking it down for the winter.

    This is how they make houses garages etc in USA/Canada..... using 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 lumber ( 5 x 10 cm, 5 x 15 cm )... simple and quick. With a proper insulation and exterior protection, these houses are much better for living than concrete/brick houses. They do not last thousands of years, but are easily built, cheaper, and easily modified..... this is MY PERSONAL opinion so anyone who do not agree should restrain from starting a sort of argument/debate on this subject. Dieter you did a great job !!!!!!

The easier someone makes it look the better, and no endless talking everything to the point with examples, like how you make your videos.

    Dieter, that was fabulous! Your very pleasant guitar accompaniment to this simple and clever build was perfect. a LOT could be done with this simple, portable shed: one could put canvas on the walls and roof for some rainproof covering-- still keeping it portable. Or, as you said, put it on a foundation and clad it permanently. Cheap and very simple, what's not to like? Thanks for sharing that!

    Thanks for this information. I have limited space at home and my grandchildren took over my garage and I used to work in my driveway for about 5 years. Last week I had masons make a 12’X15’ slab in my backyard which will be my future outdoor shed/workshop/man cave/kids fun zone. Lost likely the grandchildren will take over this area also. I might invest in a cordless nail gun, I still have a box full of hitachi nails and hitachi air powered nail gun. Thanks again for this.

    Great guitar accompanying the build, you are quite talented. I had saved money to replace my old shed with a new one this summer but as usual something went wrong elsewhere and it will have to be put off until next year. Your video gave me some great ideas as to how to shore up my old shed until I can replace it hopefully next summer. I can't tear it down because it is "grandfathered" as an existing building but if I can keep it upright and looking reasonably sturdy I can replace it next summer it over a long weekend and the city can't do anything about it.
    I had bought decking material to replace a goodly portion of the front porch but it turns out the handyman was lying and just wanted a job and was really angry that I had bought my own decking and walked away. I had my brother come out and double check my test of jumping up and down on the old decking and it didn't even bounce. My bother laughed at my rudimentary test but assured me the decking was fine with the exception of one board that has a slight crack that is only about 12 inches where it was nailed in along the length. I may just fill it in with epoxy and leave it for now as I plan to restain it. So now I have all this decking material sitting around since last summer. If I follow your method I can take the old shed apart when I have the cash and still have decking material that is long enough to replace decking elsewhere. Thank you very much for a great video. You've provided me with a solution to two separate issues.

    I loved video, Great work. Here in the states, the big-box-stores, some of the preassembled sheds they're selling use 2"×2"s for the 'studs', and the corner braces get 2"×3"s😮. I stepped inside one of them (a 12'×12' model.). I felt sure that if was of a mind to do so, I would have little trouble kicking the back wall straight off of the thing. Not to mention I could build 2 of them the same size, and use real 2"×4"s, have faith they wouldn't blow down in a strong thunderstorm.

The Prices on the Decking Boards are a lot cheaper than 2x6 and they are Pressure-treated also. And also using the New Decking Board Style Screws is just like using Nails. Just need to Reinforce the Walls with some Cross Pieces and Double the Roof Rafters to Support Our Winter Snow Up Here in Canada.
