  • Building a shed by yourself. How to build and make your own garden shed man cave tiny house by yourself diy. This is how I built my 8 x 12 shed by myself just using regular materials. Pallets may be cheap but this will last. I built this shed in 4 short days. I used steel roofing and siding for low maintenance. You could build this as a pole barn too and make it permanent. I chose to put it on skids so I can move it if necessary down the road if I want to have it in a different location. I did a 8/12 pitch roof to give more room for storing stuff in the attic. You could easily go bigger if you wanted and live in it for a tiny house if it was insulated well.
    • How To Build A Shed By... check out my latest shed video with a lot more details!!
    amzn.to/2pgGRMo here is where you can find this shears for your drill. Its a great tool to have if you do much with steel at all.
    amzn.to/2yrxtgb here you can find the Dewalt Cordless Framing Nailer if you decide you gotta have one. :)
    bit.ly/CordlessTools here you can check out some nice cordless tools if you want some to make the job easier.
    bit.ly/DryLockLube here you can find that 3 in1 lube for the nailer if you need it.
    www.csgnetwork.com/foundations... here is the one calculator I liked for squaring the building.
    www.blocklayer.com/square-lay... here is a second one.
    Here’s roughly what I came up with for lumber List that I used.
    65 - 2x4x8 wall studs, trusses, roof nailers etc
    7 - 2x6x8 treated for floor joists
    2 - 4x6x12 treated support beams for floor.
    3 - 3/4 plywood treated for floor.
    Also some small plywood scraps for the gussets on the trusses.
    I would recommend measuring up your roof and siding after you are framed up so you can figure it closer.

    My dad built one like it but a little bigger, back in 71. Nosy neighbor called the city and the city came out and said , it's a NO. NO , MUST HAVE A 32" DEEP FOUNDATION,
    My dad in turn made a drop axle and put two wheels on it and told the city it wasn't a permanent Bldg it was portable. The Nosy neighbor again complained to the city , so my dad moved it in front of her kitchen window.
    Just to Tee her off.
    GOOD VIDEO VERY EDUCATIONAL.

    I live in North East USA so prices may vary based on where you live.
    65 - 2x4x8 - 3.12 each $202.8
    Total
    7 - 2x6x8 PT - 6.47 each $45.29 Total
    2 - 4x6x12 PT - 23.57 each $47.14
    Total
    3 - 3/4 plywood PT - 38.57 each $115.71
    Total
    With out the roofing, nailers or other hardware and door
    410.94 tax rate is 7% here so $438.70 OTD
    These prices were taken from homedepot's website 3/20/19
    You would have to account for the hardware and other stuff
    I am not sure how many lbs you would need of each.
    Also depending on your foundation the grade and leveling you may have to add
    concrete posts pads or gravel that might offset your cost as well.

    • @SmartEasyDIYer
      @SmartEasyDIYer  5 лет назад +8

      Thanks for sharing. Yeah it probably varies a little depending on your area. You could also use t111 siding like sheds have a lot but it would have maintenance and upkeep but it may be some cheaper. Maybe you could even find some used steel for the roof if you didn’t care about looks that much.

    • @fritzcolburn
      @fritzcolburn 5 лет назад +21

      Thanks for doing the math for me. I'm working on a "tiny house" type project for a homeless program down here. Now I can show that we can do each one for less than the cost of buying sheds and then adding our own needs. For about $700 we can build sheds to give these guys some dignity and yet not be so comfortable they never want to leave.

      Came here after perusing Home Depot rubber sheds, hoping to save some money and Do It Myself, and just about snot-rocketed my drink when I saw 65 2x4's. That's a couple hundred bucks in 2x4's alone, I thought. So much for saving money...
      Fine build though sir.

    Great video, thank you for making such a straight forward, insider tips included, video on this shed build.
    I am a disabled vet (Iraq) and have found that building things really helps with my ptsd. I want to build a workshop and really put in some work healing my mind and body. My physical disability has me a little scared to start such a big project, though. (Above knee amputee). So for now I watch videos such as yours and catch a little motivation with each build.
    YOUR video REALLY motivates me! THANK YOU!

I’m really glad if this video can help contribute a little bit for ideas. That motivates me to make better videos too. 😊 sometime early next spring I’m planning to do another shed video with board and batten siding that should have a lot more details hopefully too. I wish you all the best going forward! Thanks

    Great job, shed looks roomy & the area to store stuff above is a real bonus. Overhangs, I believe are a must, here in Australia, overhangs save our structures from some pretty harsh elements, an investment which pays for itself in the long run. Thoroughly enjoyed your video, thank you.

    Overhangs are good, helps the building stay a lot cleaner and last longer, since water isn't running off the sides. Probably worth the extra effort. Nice shed btw.

      Thanks yeah it came in handy for storing long stuff. You could live in this yes. If I’d live in it I would do a few
      Thing different, namely use house wrap before putting on siding and use a vapor barrier under the steel roof. Maybe even sheath the roof first. ThTs the main things. If you were to use spray foam insulation however you could use it as is potentially cuz that would seal out the moisture. Thanks for the comment.

    • @SmartEasyDIYer
      @SmartEasyDIYer  4 года назад +1

      Yeah thanks for the comment. I know I like the free door and it was extra big but I do wish it would swing out. I could turn it around but the hinges would be exposed I’d have to figure out a way to do that so I would not have it be vulnerable to break-ins. If I built my own I would make them swing out

    We bought a house almost 7 years ago. In the very back of the back yard, there was this wobbly kid play structure, which our kids would never use because it was too scary. So almost 7 years later, my hubby finally brought it down and now we all this wood laying around. Some of the 2by 4’s are rotten as they were shoved into the dirt and not into cement. He told me he is going to build a shed as we really need one and there is no way to buy one and have it put back there. So thank you for your excellent video.

      Every foot of overhang adds about 10 years of maintenance free life. If you add properly installed gutters it's more like 15 years per foot. (Up to 2 feet with diminished returns past that)

    Nice build. Definitely a lot of things that saved time and money. Glad to see you put the door in the gabled end, seen people put the door under the eaves without gutters and think 'but why?' lol.
    Built an 8x12 a couple years ago but somewhat overbuilt it. Part of the reason was knowing I'd have heavy tools in it. 4 4x4 treated skids, 2x6 floor joists with blocking and foam insulation, 2x4 walls 16"oc. Walls are 8ft high with a set of diy double doors 6ft wide total and 7ft tall. Double top plates on the walls, 2x6 glue/lam header over the door. 2x6 rafters with 7/16 osb sheathing covered in tar paper then covered in sheet metal on a 9/12 pitch. Quieter when it rains and no 'sweating' action so anything inside stays bone dry even in a humid climate and during winters with heat inside. Using rafters with a raised joist opens the ceiling up and a 3.5ft deep loft on either end for storage. Walls are foam insulated.
    Took me longer than a few days but turned out nice. Also depends what it's used for, my goal was a shed/workshop. I wouldn't have built it so heavy if it were just to store a few bins and a lawnmower or a couple shovels. Heavy enough to support a loaded tool cab, be able to place an engine or transmission inside if needed without worrying about going through the floor. A work bench on either side with shelving at the rear for storage. No need to worry about snow load in winter.

      Wow yeah you did build it heavy duty! Thanks for the detailed comment. It’s true though you can build it to whatever your purpose for it is. That’s the beauty of making your own. The one thing I didn’t see you mention unless I missed it is what did you use for flooring? Thanks

    Really neat one day I hope when I will be older I will be able to build a shed like this with my dad or my son

    This is the best shed build video I've seen. BTW, that's a fine looking door.

      Thanks so much I’m glad you liked it! It is a nice door. I wish too it would open out but it was free. Someday when it goes bad I’ll probably build my own. Thanks

    Brilliant in its simplicity, very well presented (and glad you went with the overhangs). Have saved this video for future reference as it looks just like the 'shed in my head' that I want to put in the top paddock at home. Thx Smart Easy DIY!

      Thank you! If you enjoyed that one you may like this one more. It’s different siding but a lot more in depth. ruclips.net/video/ABJQI8spi04/видео.html
