For me, the ideas in ruclips.net/user/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
Sadly - having learned the hard way my self. The exposed hinges can be unscrewed ... the door lifted away from the lock leaving the lock useless and any tool in the shed can be taken.
Sheds like this are a magnet for thieves. One way to improve their security is to put steel mesh (used for reinforcing concrete) between the frame and the cladding. It can be rebated into the frame and won[t interfere with applying the cladding.
With Pliers gently upturn the tops of the roof sheet pans. Then similarly downturn the sheets' lower edge; making a drip edge. These will stop water blowing under and into the wall top. A gutter and down-pipe optional; but a good thing.
i would have doubled up on screws to prevent warp with summer heat but all round so far on part two 2.29 mins in looks great ive built 3 so far in me garden i do recomend double screw
super build we started with a 8x6 shed then we extended then we called it the train carriage so it become around 22 ft long the more room the more things you acquire move into a brick building 400 sq ft again more room more stuff and junk now we are in a 1300 sq foot workshop
I liked this project as you use the same tools i've got-simple table saw, drill, circular saw, power screwdriver. I also pick up timber from local loft conversions. It's all very well watching professionals do it on youtube but they have all the kit and expertise. You keep it simple. Would have liked to see insulation as it's a workshop not a shed and maybe a code lock so no key required. But great job!
Wow great job on the shed!! DAM that music is so so so annoying...............................................................................................................................
Nicely done, good step by step guide for anyone looking to build there own.. • ☆☆☆☆☆• I just wanted to point out that some of the ridiculously negative comments on here are from the sort of people that couldn't build a sandcastle, the most common cause of such an inability is a medically undetectable 'back pain problem', ruining there chances in life of gaining any kind of 'employment', resulting in a life of benefits and of course 'The Jeremy kyle show.....' Very good video and very inspiring...!!!!
nice job, the only thing I saw that was really wrong would be you should have used some 1x's to lath those rafters before the sheathing when up, it should be supported perpendicular to the ridges.
They only things I would have done 'better' is put three hinges and used butt hinges instead, but you built yourself a great looking workshop, well done.
Great work but I bet you soon regretted using the tin sheets once the colder weather arrived . I used exactly the same sheets on my previously boarded and felted garage roof ,the whole of the inside would drip with condensation 😕 had to put in air vents around the edges then stapled foil insulation and a vapour barier to the underside of the roof timbers then fully boarded with half inch osb 3 board leaving a 25 mm gab betwee the insulation and the osb . Lot of work but its sorted the problem 😁. If ever I were to do the same thing id definitely spend the extra cash and buy the ready insulated sheets .
At 3' 10" the roofing fixings you say are "coach bolts" are not. Coach bolts are dome headed with a short square shank section. have parallel threads and take a nut. The fixings you show are 'coach screws' designed to go into timber. They can have any type of head, but always broad and flat. Regards
You can DEFINITELY tell that you were an office worker, hanging the door from the wrong side, but that said, a great effort and some proper hard work done. Especially digging out the garden first. 👏🏾👏🏾
And I personally love the way your roof looks like it dumps the water on to next door's shed roof. Genius! I know it probably doesn't but gave me a laugh..😀
Security is compromised by using Posidrive/Philips screws on the hinges. Those nice shiny screws would unscrew very quickly. I would drill through and replace with Bolts/Nylock nuts. A shed will never be ultra secure its a matter of making it harder and longer and noisier for the toerags to get in/out with your stuff.
Hey, very nice video i liked it a lot!! I think that you should have installed the roof in perpendicular direction so that the ribs of the roof are perpendicular to the roof beams. That way the roof would me much stiffer. As i said, very nice video and very inspiring project.
+yzelickman but then the rain would sit on the ridges and gradually rot away the metal. Also the sheets of metal were not long enough to stretch across the roof length ways...
Other thing that could be done i that case is to flip the direction of the beams so that the beams and the ribs were perpendicular and the roof panels are streched in the short direction. It seems that the workshop serves you well so it realy doesnt metter acctually. Just a thougt that crossed my mind when i wached the viseo...
Good job. I just wish you had attached the rafters with something more suited than angle brackets. Look at the substantial bolt provided with the roofing panel? I hope you are sheltered from the wind?
+Rag 'n' Bone Brown Take three screws out of each hinge (2 from flap and one from end of strap) and replace them with coach bolts. I would also replace the rim lock as well. They are less secure than a wheelie bin.
you will regret not lining it with a waterproof vapour barrier. The boards will shrink and the knots will fall out and the water will get in, you can get screws whereby you do not have to pre drill. Will you be able to get long items through the door?
Don't understand this silly Muzak thing going on here, ruining the beauty of watching the building process for me. Oh well... liked and subscribed. Thanx, mate. Nice content.
the floor will sink after 5 years not a solid shed ,should of used concrete piles into the ground,my shed has 36 of them 28ft by 10ft 70% reclaimed wood, did all electrics myself too and its off grid with solar and also has log burner inside keep me warm in winter :) 7,000 pound shed cost me about 700 all in build it your self and it will be better.
Pokey sticks and sawdust, NOT sold in a store near you, Liking the build man, I'd have had the door facing the house, One you can see it and two, easier to get longer lengths in to work on, Too much Neg in here already so don't take my comment as such, Enjoy your Shop and I'm off to Pt3 after I sub.
Great work! can I ask why did you frame it with the method of "notching" all of those studs rather than framing the conventional way using platform construction (studs, bottom plate, double top plate, king studs, etc.) ? Did you make up this method or is it an actual method? It seems as if you notch out a stud like that you are compromising its structural integrity being that those studs support everything. For a shed it is probably fine. Not sure if this method would be a good structural choice for a house. I think you did an amazing job :-)
Thanks. I was kinda making it up as I went along, I don't know if there is a right way or a wrong way but to me it feels like the notches would actually strengthen the frame rather than compromise the strength as the notches form solid joints with the horizontal cross pieces. I think I "over-engineered" the design of the frame to some extent and could have just used butt joints as a lot of the strength and rigidity probably comes from the cladding. It's an interesting debate! I'm very much an amateur though so I don't know, but it worked well and it's certainly a very stable structure.
Yes you did a great job and it does look super stable. I did see another video in which they did notching. Maybe I have seen something like that with the Amish before My only point was when something is notched from the vertical (structural) stud I wonder if it could compromise structural integrity depending on the size of the notch and thickness of vertical stud. I know that the horizontal piece does fit in and there complete the structure. I guess even if the notch was cut all the way through as long as a piece of wood was underneath it, it is structural because all we are doing in essence is stacking wood on top of wood. So now that I think about it, the notching is probably fine. The horizontal piece simply becomes part of the vertical load bearing ok cool. had to think it through. Great job :-)
+Spencer Davis your right, for a small shed its probably ok but for a bigger structure it wouldn't be a good idea. the better way to do it if your not using nails or screws is to use the old method where you cut a square whole in your outside and inside running board and notch out your inside trusses to fit tightly into them. there are quit a few wrong things he did but for someone who doesn't do it everyday he did a good enough job. a lot cheaper than going to buy a prebuilt shed.
+Rag 'n' Bone Brown its fine. future note. if you ever build another shed and use the same siding, make sure that you make all the siding match, so that you don't have one side higher than the other. And be sure to put your screws or nails on the top of the siding so that the next board that goes on top of it will hide the screw or nail and it will look nicer
think i would prefer wood and felt roof, for rain/hail noise, condensation etc, also should have put weatherboard on frames when on ground, much easier, I built similar size shed part time, with proper slab base in 2 weeks, insulated, but good effort
Hi, Can you tell me what make of table saw you are using - Im looking for a good one and your's seems to have the features Im looking for. Thanks Colin
Lots of BUILDER’s cleavage on display throughout this series eh! The hinges having vulnerable screw heads can be over come by putting a suitably sized redundant drill bit onto them to round them off. Works fine. (Most opportunist thieves probably don’t carry a cordless angle grinder) This is my third time of watching this series. Super, and I think Dylan was the true star of part 1. Cheers Keith.
Matthias Wandell tested the strength of drywall screws and they're surprisingly strong! I tend to use them for everything! Good luck with the house hunting!

Sadly - having learned the hard way my self. The exposed hinges can be unscrewed ... the door lifted away from the lock leaving the lock useless and any tool in the shed can be taken.
A Rape alarm (With a replaceable headphone jack style pull) and fishing line tripwires make for a cheap alert system,
Sorry you lost your kit mate :-/
Fit security screws and hinge pins that lock into the door frame
Was going to my comment, why fit a lock when the screws are exposed on the hinges
There's nothing better than putting the floor in...great builds Martin. Now off the watch the rest 👍🏼😊
love people who,will get there hands dirty..for someone with an office job you done a great job😄
+zeeaars thanks haha
Building like most of us have to, outside on your knees making do, love it 👍
Sheds like this are a magnet for thieves. One way to improve their security is to put steel mesh (used for reinforcing concrete) between the frame and the cladding. It can be rebated into the frame and won[t interfere with applying the cladding.
Thieves. My very first thought. I'd go with an additional one on the inside but ultimately I came here to see how he dealt with it.
Nicole K yea but no need when they can just unscrew the door from outside 😂😂
Well done, personally I'm building a 12x8 pent roof shed using 3x2 frames and 1/2". OSB with housewrap sheeting and then cladding. Weather permitting!
With Pliers gently upturn the tops of the roof sheet pans. Then similarly downturn the sheets' lower edge; making a drip edge. These will stop water blowing under and into the wall top. A gutter and down-pipe optional; but a good thing.
Love that "Square " you use.
as a carpenter of 12 years,good job mate.
i would have doubled up on screws to prevent warp with summer heat but all round so far on part two 2.29 mins in looks great ive built 3 so far in me garden i do recomend double screw
u prob get drip drip drip in cold weather ?
Good job . Good tune. Actually all good , don,t listen to the negative plums on here, like to see there work . Your showing by example.Brilliant
I do enjoy your honest no bull videos, couldn't believe i was subscribed! Well that's been remedied.
Nice job.

It looks like all the rain water collected on your roof will drop into your neighbours garden
Perfect 👍
tip put door hinges on the door a lock useless if you can take the screws out to get in
You can DEFINITELY tell that you were an office worker, hanging the door from the wrong side, but that said, a great effort and some proper hard work done. Especially digging out the garden first. 👏🏾👏🏾
whats wrong with the door?
ian logan The hinges should go to the other side to stop the door from dropping over time. Still on the front, just to the other side.
@@eldoradocraftsman3733 never noticed that lol
ian logan 👍🏾. I still really like to follow him.
@@eldoradocraftsman3733 wondering what he actually makes with all those tools .? A lot of effort for a hobby.
Very good job but pilot holes for everything was a bit excessive considering its all softwood.
Loving the "pokie" stick. A man isn't a man unless he has made himself a "pokie" stick!
Nice job, I would have put the hinges inside though, to make it more difficult for any local toe rags who may want to pinch things
To drill those pilot holes must take so much patience
Thanks a lot its put my mind at rest for my intending 4 X 4.5m shed
And I personally love the way your roof looks like it dumps the water on to next door's shed roof. Genius! I know it probably doesn't but gave me a laugh..😀
building shed by night with headlamp.. your neighbours must love you :D
Haha I am not popular with them although it was only 9pm!
great video -
Richard Smith Thank you!
Uop
All hail pokie stick!

+Brian Jones it's been two years and there are no issues
Have you had any issues with neighbors.. noise etc.. thanks for your contributions
Good job I like it I am going to billed a workshop shed my self but I don't no what size what size is yours in feet
KITTYYY!!
Awesome 👌🏼
Put the door hinges on the inside so it it more secure
That's a great idea and something I hadn't considered, but not sure how to do that?
+Rag 'n' Bone Brown Take three screws out of each hinge (2 from flap and one from end of strap) and replace them with coach bolts.
I would also replace the rim lock as well. They are less secure than a wheelie bin.

+allan solomon none of those things have happened and yes I can
+Rag 'n' Bone Brown give it time I will guarantee it
Did anyone else see like fire when he had the head torch on
Haha, that's a street light in the distance
+Inness Pirrie I thought it was fire for a moment, also.
Anyy reason for not putting water proofing paper before putting siding ?
Where did you get the windows
good video but that music droning on done my head in :)
Don't understand this silly Muzak thing going on here, ruining the beauty of watching the building process for me.
Oh well... liked and subscribed. Thanx, mate. Nice content.
looks like the hinge for door is just normal screws. can some one not just use a screw drive and take door off?
Du bon travail.
the floor will sink after 5 years not a solid shed ,should of used concrete piles into the ground,my shed has 36 of them 28ft by 10ft
70% reclaimed wood, did all electrics myself too and its off grid with solar and also has log burner inside keep me warm in winter :) 7,000 pound shed cost me about 700 all in build it your self and it will be better.
i see you didn't use a breathable membrane under your cladding do your uprights get wet in heavy rain?
I've not noticed any damp permeating to the inside of the cladding as yet...
Really accurate work, I like it.
But don't you think you went a little overboard with the earmuffs and the mask?
I just hadn't taken them off after using the table saw
What did you use around your windows to prevent moisture penetration?
any problems with condensation and the mewl roof
Errr, the roof rafters are going the wrong way!
how many lengths were used for the sides
nice build
Did you use anything as flashing/rain barrier on the high edge of the roof? Can rain not blow under there?
+Shamim Miah there's enough of an overhang on the roof that no rain gets in
Freaking awesome. I want to build one now. Thanks for the videos.
What was the shed mounted on? Was it steel bars on top of concrete slabs?
Watch part 1
Pokey sticks and sawdust, NOT sold in a store near you,
Liking the build man, I'd have had the door facing the house,
One you can see it and two, easier to get longer lengths in to work on,
Too much Neg in here already so don't take my comment as such,
Enjoy your Shop and I'm off to Pt3 after I sub.
what size is this
A deadlock and exterior hinges? Good build though.
He adds security screws to the hinges later on.
You should have put the hinges on the inside people rob sheds by removing the hinges where I live

what's the point in having a lock if your hinges are on show outside of the shed.. simple screwdriver and there in ur shed
+LeeJohn84 see the workshop update video
Does water not run directly into the neighbours yard?
Yeah, but it doesn't matter because it almost never rains in England anyway... ;-)
Also what did you use to raise the higher end giving the pitch?
+Shamim Miah I just made the front panels higher and the back panels shorter and the side panels were sloped to the same angle
Great job mate, wish I had a sparky as a mate, I run an extension to my garage across my neighbors garden, works though. Anyway, really nice job....
think i would prefer wood and felt roof, for rain/hail noise, condensation etc, also should have put weatherboard on frames when on ground, much easier, I built similar size shed part time, with proper slab base in 2 weeks, insulated, but good effort
+Ruthypie Twiglet where's your video then? :-)
+Rag 'n' Bone Brown
don't see the point, people just make sarcastic comments :-(
Well done but ditch music
How much did it all cost the hole lot
+Thomas Brewerton in part 3!
Patent that "pokey stick"
Angel of the roof is a bit small.
Heavenly.....
i would like to see them do any better
عمل حلو
Surely anyone can just unscrew the hinges and steal your tools tho
Looks great dude!
Thank you! :-)
Hi, Can you tell me what make of table saw you are using - Im looking for a good one and your's seems to have the features Im looking for.
Thanks
Colin
Colin Williams Hi
Sorry forget my question - I've just watched the 3rd video . . . lol
Out of interest what was your total build cost? If you don't mind me asking
+ben kattenhorn watch the end of part 3
I added some coach bolts to the hinges to prevent easy door removal by scumbags.
Check the “workshop update video”
Loads of smart arses commenting negatively here. Sod 'em. Armchair critics. Good build mate, nice one. Ignore the turds...
Lots of BUILDER’s cleavage on display throughout this series eh!
The hinges having vulnerable screw heads can be over come by putting a suitably sized redundant drill bit onto them to round them off. Works fine. (Most opportunist thieves probably don’t carry a cordless angle grinder)
This is my third time of watching this series. Super, and I think Dylan was the true star of part 1.
Cheers Keith.
That's a great shop build. very cleaver with your resources, i'm sure that helped cut the costs down hugely. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video dude well explained. Just started to build mine floor took me a day to get level lol
That deadlock won’t do anything if the thief can just unscrew your hinges..
why no nail gun? All that screwing!
I like screwing!
Matthias Wandell tested the strength of drywall screws and they're surprisingly strong! I tend to use them for everything! Good luck with the house hunting!
Thanks very much for this. This is a very similar project to the one I plan this summer. My garden is the same layout as well. This is a perfect tutorial for me because you are progressing at the same speed with the same skill level I have. Ignore all negative comments. Subscribed
Thank you and good luck with your build!
haha pokey stick
3 dislikes from neighbors night time noise
Haha!!
