I've been on the fence about if I should buy or hire or build a shed myself. I've watched a bunch of RUclips shed builds and there's a lot of bad advice out there! This is the first video I've seen that shows how to properly build a shed with structural integrity and explains the framing process in a way I can duplicate. This video has convinced me to build my own. Thank you my friend!
I recently began building a 10X14 storage shed. I had wrestled with that same question and went through a litany of false starts about buying a pre-built one, or having someone build one for me. One day my wife said, "Honey, you can do this." and that was it. Although I had engineered plans, I still needed a lot of "how to" info, and I can say without reservation, the "University of You Tube" is a vast resource with a lot of extremely valuable information on how to do specific tasks associated with building and framing. This particular video is one of the best I've seen as far as explaining the small details of the important "how to" details. That little rig that the "Red Bearded Builder" put together to hold up the ridge beam is both simple and genius. I used his exact model when I installed my own 14-foot ridge beam. If you aren't finding the info you need, just keep looking...the specific info you need is out there. And take heart...you can do it!
Man I've watched a lot of shed building videos and this my friend is GREAT!!!! You were so thorough in explaining things, especially how to hold ridge beam in that saddle.. Thank you for sharing your skill.
Where I live we cannot set a shed on wood blocks. It needs to be anchored into the ground so it doesn’t blow away in a wind event or shift over time. I’m curious if you got a building permit for this. This for sharing this.
Good video. Thank you. I will be building one for myself this spring. Biggest concern is getting the rafters correct. That's the only part I have no experience with. This was very helpful!
Good video. Something I see wrong a lot on roofing shingles is the starter. How you are supposed to use 3 tabs as starters is install them so the tabs overhang the drip edge, so the tar strip is right at the edge of the roof, then cut off the tabs. This puts the tar bond right at the edge to hold down the field shingles. Otherwise, you're leaving 5-6" of wind lift area right at the edge which can and will lead to wind damage to the roof. Also, and this is just nit-picky, the drip edge is supposed to go UNDER the felt at the eaves and over the felt on the rakes. Again, this has to do with wind driven rain: at the rakes, if wind pushed rain under the shingles, it'll go over the drip, onto the felt and run down, and if the felt is over the drip at the eaves, it runs off the top of the drip and out, never getting to the sheathing. Then the argument that wind could drive water under the shingles and felt at the eaves, well, if the starter is nailed down correctly, and the shingles are overhanging 1", then the wind would have to overcome gravity to get it under there, but that could be mitigated by tarring down the drip to the sheathing before the felt. All that to say, that is SUPER overkill for a shed. LOL But the wind lift at the eaves and rakes from the starter tar bond not being at the edge still holds. Good job overall, and again, the way you roofed it is the way most carpenters do, but just like everything, there is a better way that doesn't take too much more effort to do, if you know to do it. I do roof inspections for a living. Have a great day! Looking forward to more content.
Great video brother. A job well done by you and your crew. Glad to hear the Lord is blessing you 😊 God is good all the time and all the time God is good. Stay safe and keep growing in your faith and in your knowledge of carpentry/construction. Put God first and everything else will fall in line.
you don't. I will never understand this trend of building on blocks. just built my own with posts in the ground on footers. I build for a living and would never not tie one down, seen too many flip with a decent straight line wind
Nice, I used to be a roofer, we never left just a small piece on the edge?, I guess it will stay with Flex tar..., and, you did not use level on a door, wonder, why?? Other than that, OK video ;o)

Was it worth building yourself?

Came across this video today and I love the negative measuring tape. I didn’t know they made those. So easy to read.
Thank you... You do a great job filming and explaining. Well done!!!
I truly appreciate the comment! God bless!
Great video fellows
Thanks! 😊
Sorry for my voice but everything will make sense when I’m done talking! 😆 I like the simplicity of the video thanks! 👌🏽
Awesome shed, y'all. It's always good to hear home folks explain something. Thanks for the share.
Thanks for the comment!!!

Thank you for the comment! I truly appreciate it
Great job! Thanks
Thanks! 😊
Hey guys , this video is awesome !!! I was wondering if you have any videos of framing for metal instead of wood?
Thank you bud!! I’m building mine based off of your video!
Hey thanks for the comment!
That Flexshield will help a lot when the shed washes down the river.
Hopefully not

No building permits required in my area.
You mentioned turkeys and ducks but not the deer walking behind ya the whole time lol great video 🤙
Yes they’re the owners pet deer! Pretty awesome place to work! I wonder how many people noticed???
Great video. Very detailed. Thank you. 🤝
Glad you enjoyed it!

Just take your time and there’s nothing to it!
Plenty of RUclips videos on how to do it! Another easy way is make a jig and make your own trusses

😁👌 Everything made sense once I saw it...

How do you keep the building from just sliding off the block foundation it's setting on?
Gravity! lol
you don't. I will never understand this trend of building on blocks. just built my own with posts in the ground on footers. I build for a living and would never not tie one down, seen too many flip with a decent straight line wind
How many bundles of shingles did it take?
nice job
Hey thanks for the comment!
Curious....on this build what exact measurement are the 2 x 4 wall studs...?
I cut them to 92 1/2”
Can you give us a material list?
How did you cut the rafters?
There’s tons of videos on rafters and i figured they could explain that alittle better than me
Time for new nailer😂. Good video.
Thanks for the comment
Parts list quantity of each board needed? For this exact build. Tia
I would have to look and see if I have the list still
Did you feel that using 2x4 at 24" centers was strong enough?
It’s a common practice in the western part of the US to build houses with 2x4 on 24” centers.
I’ve read common stud spacing @ 16”, 19.2”and 24” for single story are all acceptable.
Nice, I used to be a roofer, we never left just a small piece on the edge?, I guess it will stay with Flex tar..., and, you did not use level on a door, wonder, why?? Other than that, OK video ;o)
I made sure framing was level on hinge side. The secured door to hinge side and used the reveal to get the rest right. That’s just how I do it.
I wish you had shown cutting the rafter beams, but other than that great video.
sorry that i missed that part! thanks for the comment! check out @perkinsbuilderbrothers they cover this several times.
Could you give me the list of materials? please
I would have to find one!
If you don't mind me asking, how much watch time did you get on this video? I'm considering releasing my tutorials in this longer format
Release them...people will watch...I watched this one. And watch a lot of long ones.
@@mistyrichardson6041 will give it a shot
What was the cost of materials?
Do you by chance remember just the cost of material's only .Thx !!!
I would have to look and see if I have the list still.
@@RedBeardedBuilderupdate?
Cheaper now than 16 months ago
Also depends on region
@@nunyaburts1246 🤣
The pad was level without any extra work?! Did you buy a lottery ticket after work? :D
Yeh that was definitely not a typo day! Lol
