- Even with skyrocketing prices, I build an efficient, quality, maintenance free 8 x 16 storage unit for under $1200 . 25% of retail price.
Nicely done and no messing around! 😎👍
This is a great video. Thank you for putting in the time to film and edit.
thank you for your kind words! Glad it was a benefit.

Thanks for this video. I’m building an 8x12 shed just like yours this weekend and your video had some nice tips and ideas!
If you plan on insulating the floor on this style structure use green treated plywood as the under layer between runners and floor joists place floor joists, insulate floor, place 1st floor plywood sheeting layer, install walls and exterior sheathing on the walls insulate install roof trusses sheath inside of roof, insulate roof, sheath roof insulate interior walls and finish by sheathing interior walls install flooring and interior/exterior finishings in that order. Due to roof and wall loads I use no less than 2x6 wall construction and no less than 2x10 rafters and doubled 2x12ridge beams on conventional gable roofs with no less than 2x6 ceiling joists (this is used for high roof loads) but this works for all insulated shed designs
I plan to use this style but I plan on using plywood for the siding any recommendations?
Should work well. You may want to install the plywood on the studs before you set them up
Do you have a good outlet for the doors? Just curious about that part of the build. I know you said you had the door from something else. Great little build video. There's always room for improvements and efficiencies and that comes with any project. Especially when repeated over and over!
We have bought from: www.janusintl.com/ in the past. Because of shipping costs, try to find a manufacturer near you.
Oh😮 you work past. Incredible. Thanks,learning videos.
my first one was not this fast ... after building a number, i got quite efficient.
Those skids, 4x6 stringers , that you are using for your foundation should be cross braced ,and diagonally braced to prevent racking. Especially if you were, to try and move the shed by pulling it . Also the 4x6s are a little light for skids I would go with 6x8s,as well as using 2x4s for floor joists at minimum I would use 2x6... and would have rim joists ..
Thanks for your comments... you are welcome to build anyway you like. We never had any trouble with racking. The first we built, we did find the need for the strapping of the 2x4 to the runners when moving. I have been using this design for over 10 years, built many for our own storage, for off-site rentals, and sales. The goal was: efficient, cost effective, and durable. We have never had a fail due to floor joists, 4x6 runners, or rim boards (which I agree can be an effective improvement ). We have moved them by forklift, pushed, pulled, and hauled them without any issue. Good luck in your build.
Have you tried racking plywood? It’s better than any cross-bracing, ever.
The rule of thumb I use is if there is more than 2feet of overhang or more than 6ft between skids I add an extra skid because I hate rocking/dipping structures... But then again I always build my sheds insulated to start because I like working on my equipment in a warm area (I also use double floor sheathing for possible high loads off joist such as storage racking and use truck bed liner to make a weather tight floor pan (reduces floor rot potential)
Amazing video thank you for sharing it with us
no rim joist?
?? There is 2 one on each side?
I always see the subfloor cut and offset on shed builds. What is the reason for this? It is always done, but I have never heard it explained why. Thanks!
Offsetting the plywood provides more structural strength by not having seams all in the same place.
how long is your brake?
10'6"
Great
