How to build a simple 4 'x 8' storage shed under $380 dollars
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- DIY affordable storage shed, build your shed under $380 dollars, this storage shed was built with minimum wood and materials, it is a strong solid shed that will last for many years. It is recommended to raise the subfloor framing so that it does not touch the ground, I didn't want to obstruct my window, that is why I had to dig a little bit to build the subfloor below ground level, pressure treated wood will last many years, however, you should raise the structure above ground level using your concrete step stones. The total cost of this project was $374.29 before taxes.

Would be nice if you include the tools such a nail gun model and size of nails and screw you used to build that shed for people never used those tools,
😭
Per your request I have included all the tools I used, you can find them under the "product" tag on the video.
@@NumberDZthis is quality. Thanks bro. Literally what the internet was made for
I'm glad my video was helpful.
For real! Some of these people are assholes..damn do you want him to come build it for you to?? Jeez
Thank you so much for this video! Looks nice and I can't wait to try it.
So many of these "shed" project vids turn out to be $10K broom closets with guys working w a freaking pro-shop stuffed with all kinds of equipment because they're really just promotional videos for Home Depot or are sponsored by a green tool company. This is the best real-life (cost in mind) actual shed vid I've seen. Awesome stuff.
Thank you for watching 🫡
Well done. Clean, simple, and easy to follow. Allows anyone to customize to their own set up. Thanks for sharing this.
Glad it was helpful!
I like this build. It is very simple and easy for me to copy and add some tweaks for the shed that I will be adding to my son’s farm. A steeper pitch for snow loads in my area. Thanks so much for sharing it!
Thanks for watching, make sure to hit that like button.
Well I have 2 complaints, the first is that you dug it below grade, making for a place for water to gather and rot your floor. Second the pitch of the roof is very slight and in a heavy rain storm water will back fill and hit that window and back wall and run between the house and shed rotting that back wall. Otherwise I like the build, it is simple and easy to do, makes for a great storage place for gardening tools and stuff you need to store away for winter. I hope you take my complaints as constructive criticism, in hope to do it better in the future. I like that you added vents with a smaller mesh screen to keep bugs out and let hot air out of the shed. I also like how you did the roof, over all its a great build and design. So good job.
The base framing is below grade, however, there's good slope around it, the water does not pool in that area, it flows away from it.
The roof pitch may not be visible in the video, however, in person you can clearly see that the front section is lower compared to the back, the rain water drains perfectly fine towards the front, we have had heavy rain and no water goes towards the back wall.
Thanks for your feedback 👍 don't forget to subscribe.
@@NumberDZI have another complain , I’m not the expert this seems reasonable about how flows the water, just wondering about the guard on the grinder, that disc looks dangerous, and for sure I’ll try to do a similar shed for my backyard, would be great if you share how many material you bought for it and the kind of tools you have used, thx!
And particle board
@@orlandonunez5761 using the grinder without the protection is dangerous, however sometimes the protector gets on the way that’s why I removed it. I have included all the tools I used for this shed, you can find them under the “product” tag on the video.
Good shit guys
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏 much appreciated it.
A few months ago I was watching your k5 gt line videos and now, unknowingly, I’m watching this. I just realized scrolling through your vids that “hey that’s the same guy with the k5!!!” Great video subscribed
I’m glad you like my mixed content lol thanks for the sub.
I was so mad you were blocking the window but then you didn't, lol. This is very helpful, thank you.
You're welcome!
I like how you got straight to the point. You designed it to your liking. Great job bro.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this build. Easy and with basic tools.
I'm glad you found it helpful!
this is what I plan to build this spring, but with the door on the side instead of the front. Well done
I was also planing on putting the door on the side but after you start putting stuff in it, it gets difficult to reach the stuff all the way in the back, if you build it wider like 6’x 8’ you will have enough space to go around.
@@NumberDZ thats a good point
I gotta build one of these to house my haunted house panels; I've left them out year round for years and now I'm going to have to junk a lot of the wood and not once did I think, 'hey build a fricken' shed to keep your wood for years and years.' fun project coming up!
Yeah you should do it before you waste more material, it's pretty easy to do.
Nice, simple, practical and reasonably priced! Thanks for this great idea I just may have to copy. ❤️🇨🇦
You’re welcome, thanks for watching
Fantastic job on editing, audio and content. Will def use as a reference for my own build!
Awesome, thank you!
@@NumberDZ No, Thank You my man! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and helping all of us! Take care my man!
This is cool, might have to build this for my ducks, my first coop sucks lol, this will be perfect for them
Do you have a list of supplies to buy to build this shed?
This would need proper siding where I live. That OSB sheeting wouldn't last long with the amount of rain we get.
Yes, this OSB is not very friendly with excessive rain.
I really like the way you both used and held the level as a rip guide. Imma use that, thanks. Probably when I copy this shed. :)
Glad it helped! Good luck on your project.
This shed was over 1k not too long ago! I priced one out to build myself when lumber was high!
Yes, that is why I waited a few months to get it done, the lumber price was crazy expensive no so long ago.
Thanks man. I just did mine m to my 2 or 3 partial days to get the materials and stuffs.
Nice, did you build it in the same style as this one or did you make some changes?
Comming from a seasoned framer, well done.
That was extremely efficient build even for a 4x8 , I don't know that the blocking was structurally necessary but definitely Dosent hurt and will be handy for utility inside ike hanging hooks, brackets etc. my only I Guess 'critique' is why you doubled up the stud on the front wall facing the backyard, I mean I get why you did it, so that that side of the door is 3½" finished instead of just 2" and my thought was that you may add a door latch later and you wanted some more meat for it however with just a lock hasp it probably isn't necessary but it does look better, what I would have done is rather than double that corner I would have made it an an outside facing L because you'd use the same amount of lumber but that outside corner would be even more substantial, instead of a finished 3½" it would have been a finished 5". Small thing mostly a matter of preference at that point it's not as if the price of one 2*4 makes a real difference so I can see why you wouldn't just put a single there.
no slope for the roof? where will rainwater go? also, about the hinges, you should have installed them in a hidden way so the screws are no exposed while locked - more secure.
I am amazed he didn't know 6" of the front of the shed.
It is sloped.
Far best the best shed video I have seen
Thank you 🫡
I don’t get why you’d do it right where there’s a cool windowBUT just gave me a great idea for a greenhouse/shed !
The window is not obstructed by the shed, additionally the shed is not visible from the inside looking out the window.
Fantastic video! Great job for a no nonsense shed...and it was good you added the vents 👍
Glad you liked it!
Amazing. I have been inspired. I will create one this weekend. Thank you
Thanks for watching.
Nice work plain and simple I'm ready to do one now.
Very simple project anyone can do. Thanks for stopping by
Perfectly simple and something I feel I can build.
Go for it!
You made my day. Now I can start my pending project. Gracias
Wonderful! Thanks for watching
most skillful lead to simplest, you did a great job, Buddy.
Thank you kindly!
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve found!
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.
Just the size I plan on building onto my shed after I clear out a wasp nest in the ground. Fun getting stung lol.
Did you start the project already?
Great job, 1 complaint.... I dont feel like getting up from the couch right now
Lol thanks for watching.
pretty smart, minimal cuts. i like it.
Glad you like it!
i became fan of your detailing man...just toooo good... just wish you would have made it a more weather protected for area where it rains and snow a lot...
This is perfectly fine for where I live, we don’t get that much rain and it doesn’t snow, but you can do the necessary adjustments for your area.
Thanks for watching 🫡
Thanks in advance, wanna build one for my garden tools
You'll have your tools organized in no time!
Simple cost effective solution I like it my friend.
Thanks 👍
ill take two!
Thank you for taking the time to make this!💯
No problem 🫡
The video editing is great on this. Love how you did the audio
Glad you enjoyed it!, I'm working on a retaining wall and it will have the same video style as this, you should check it out.
The life of the back wall would probably be extended significantly if you prepainted before installing it. Even in Cali, stuff will blow in there, and some moisture will accumulate and rot it. A couple coats of paint is easy insurance on a $400 investment.
I’d also add a 2x4 to the middle of each sheet. $20 seems worth the extra durability.
Thank you for taking the time on making this video!
Thanks for watching.
🔺 Cool and simple shed! I’m taking notes because I want to build one for my next RUclips project in my channel. Thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
I’m gonna do this. I work construction so materials will be free. I take it the 2x4s don’t need to be pressure treated?
They don't need to be pressure treated, but if you want to extend its useful life, you can use pressure treated.
@@NumberDZ awesome! Cause I’m pretty sure the ones I get from builders aren’t treated
Very nice , good job and thanks, I’m building my own 🤞🏼
Thanks for watching.
my jaw drops when I see the prices of pre built sheds. congrats
That’s why I decided to build it myself. Thanks for watching
Love it. Terrific job!
Thank you!
Excellent build! Good idea putting a screen behind that vent, as wasps and hornets would be coming and going. :-)
Thanks for watching.
Super helpful video, thank you 🙏
You’re welcome
Great work. Just what I was looking for... I will build it this spring....just one change, I will be putting the door on the short wall. thanks
Glad it helped.
I was also planing on putting the door on the side but after you start putting stuff in it, it gets difficult to reach the stuff all the way in the back, if you build it wider like 6’x 8’ you will have enough space to go around.
@@NumberDZ Good point, makes sense
What type of plywood did u use and what type of lumber did u use ?
Hello is this waterproof?
Awesome video 👍🏻
I'm glad you liked it!
Very nice work!
Thanks a lot!
Nice build and well done video. One suggestion I might offer is to place a sheet of plastic on top of the final layer of dirt @ 2:10 so the floor won't rot. Thanks for a great DIY video!
That's a great idea!, thanks for watching.
Is it too late after it already done?
@@redjeepyellowjeep-qz2on If you read my post it says to install it at 2:10 which is DURING the construction phase, not after the build is done. So of course it would be too late after it's done.
I hired a company to make me a big shed(electric,a/c,etc)..I asked about something like that and they told me that water will always go under the shed and water need to drain so they compacted I think about 12 inches of pea rock/I saw vids of guys placing tubes to better drain water if it gets under shed /I was advised not to do concrete pad )
Of course I'm no expert about that but I had to pass different inspections from the city and it seemed correct info
Very Clean bato! Nice job!
Thanks.
How was it that you had extra space for the plywood to meet precisely. Is the shed under 4' x 8'
I am planning to build this shed soon. I love it.
so far this is the best video, what boards do you use for walls and floor? thanks
the problem living North Idaho is our ground prep. Our extreme weather, I have about 10x your ground prep with way more material-rock for drainage. In short, just jealous is all.
That sounds like a lot of work, thanks for watching.
Would you go with primed siding and home wrap next Time ? Might add another buck but is it worth it?😊
Sweet dude. Love it. Gonna make my next one better like this first one isn’t water proof. My stuff gets all wet.
Good luck!
You must live in a dryer warmer area. This would not work where I live. First, needs more drainage under the shed. Secondly, not nearly enough pitch to the roof. Lastly, the fiberglass roof is not sufficient for snow loads. Otherwise it's fine considering the price and care to detail used in building your lean to shed.
well done going to build one very similar
Thanks, this is a fun easy project.
Love shed
Thanks for watching.
You make it look so easy!
Thanks for watching 🫡
Good job, I learned a lot of new things for myself, thanks!
I'm glad it was helpful.
Super video! concise and to the point!
Glad it was helpful!
Good job 👍
Thanks 👍
Just what I was looking for.
Nice 👍
Was curious to know if this adds on to the square footage of the house? Does a permit need to be pulled?
Nice build, I would have used primed T111 and a better quality floor base...
Name of the paint/plaster applied on the osb?
Is there a way to put the hinges on the inside for the door and lock so that the shed is more secure?
They sell different hinges that are more secure, you can find them at your local hardware store.
When people build houses, I see them put house wrap and siding on the OSB panels. Will painting those and leaving them exposed to the weather prematurely wear?
What kind of paint are you using? and how long it last (before need another repainting job??? many thanks.
What is the roof system. Link to that please.
Shed is great, simple and low cost.
It is linked in the video description.
ok in you video i saw first you install the roof closer strips at front, then few minutes later the strips are just install on the back. so where install then?
It was an error editing the video but I installed them on both ends.
COOL VIDEO THANKS ALOT IM GOING TO BUILD ONE THE SAME THING
YOUR AWESOME 👍
No problem 👍 subscribe if you haven’t already
Newbie here so please be kind. Why it is necessary to stack 2 pieces of 2x4’s on the top of the walls? Thanks
Excelent job and excelent video! Respect! 🤜🤛
Thanks for watching
excellent video. Very informative. I need an outdoor shed so I plan to pretty much replicate what you have here. I do, however, have a few concerns. I'm in FL so we get a ton of rain daily from June to Sept. It is also almost 95 degrees for 4 months. The location I have selected will get little direct sun light but fully exposure to the rain.
How will the OSB holdup in the long run? Will painting prevent rot? How about a rubberized coating? Something like LIQUID RUBBER?
Wow, looks so nice for less than $400 shed. What kind of material for the roof, metal?
Thanks, it's plastic.
Is the paint waterproofing? Or would the plywood be fine in the rain anyways?
What paint did you use?
Why did you use OSB instead of plywood? That was a mistake due to susceptibility to moisture. Seal it real good on the inside too!
Probably price (osb cheaper) is it possible for the paint to seal osb(waterproof and humidity proof it)? I guess the idea is something not expensive and not forever (I can deal with spending $400 and replacing it maybe after 10 years )
You're absolutely correct, that is the main purpose of this video 🫡
I wanna hire him for my project in Arizona
You are too far buddy
Good video, but I have a question: if the front of the shed is lower than the back, how is it possible that the boards covering the front weren't cut in height?
I did cut them.
Genuine question, are you worried about the boards becoming damp ?
I built it in 2022 and it’s still looks good, no problems so far.
Great job! God Bless You!
Thank you!
How has that OSB held up? I'm sure in my part of the country it would be rotten within a year.
So far so good, it’s still looking good.
Entertaining video. Great shed.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job 👍
Thanks 👍
good shit dude!
Thanks.
Nice video! I wish here in Arizona we had that kind of dirt.
Thanks 👍
do you have a material list break down
Good stuff, thanks for the thorough build video!
No problem 👍
Hi, I really enjoyed your video! I’m going to try to make this shed. What is the width of the OSB plywood? Thank you so much.
Nice job man
Thanks for the visit
Nice build
Thanks.
Very simple and effective, I will try my own.
Thanks for watching
