Watch a Pro Build a Shed in ONE Day – Full Step-by-Step Guide!
Beau from SquareShed allowed us to follow along for one of his builds and see his entire process from start to finish.
His team completed the whole job by 2pm! He showed us some amazing time saving gems, and how his team are incredibly organized that allow them to build in record time.
Unlike many pre-fab shed builds, they don't leave a single trace that they were there. No fences removed or grass torn up. Just a beautiful custom made shed tailored to the customer's needs.
TuffBlock helps play a role (albeit small) in cutting down the time taken to build. Beau estimates he saves on average 1 hour for each build (30 mins for smaller job, 2 hours for larger ones). TuffBlock allows his team to quickly level the shed foundation using the 4x4 post slot in a repeatable + reliable process. They're also incredibly easy to transport and have on hand in their trailer.

No problems in heavy winds??
Experience is the best teacher you’ll learn soon enough about what hold up and what doesnt. That is a very nice looking shed!
Nice work, I hope your family enjoys it for many years. 👍
Just perfect!!!!
I build mine in two years...
Awesome! If you were in my area I would definitely hire you to do my shed!!
Build a shed in a day where half the shed is already pre built! Clickbait.
I had to use Tuff Block because i didn't want to dig into my brick floor. It turned out well.
Nice work. A tip is to use a router with a flush trim bit to make the job much more efficient and cleaner in a single pass with cutting out windows, panels that’s too long, etc. instead of the sawzall/reciprocating saw. 👍
Thanks for the tip!
Nice how you blocked out most of the work with subtitles
That's odd, there aren't any subtitles on the video. These might be the UA-cam subtitles that you can turn off.
Why no joist hangers ?
I'm thinking that in reality, this job actually took a couple of days to put together, considering that a lot of the work was done before arriving to the build site. I could put together a shed like this if all my walls and doors were pre-constructed and my roof rafters already pre-cut. Entertaining video, just the same. And I appreciate the entrepreneur spirit of this young man.
Fair point. There's probably 2 hours of prep work with constructing the walls in the shop. But considering a lot of these are done bulk then it really cuts down the time. Plus they finished by 2pm so still well within a typical work day.
They left out a major step in the Pythagoras theorem....You have to find the square root of C. That's how 3, 4, 5 works or any other set of numbers. So you 3 square = 9 + 4 squared = 16 which equals 25 but it's not squared like the formula....it's the square root of 25 which is 5.
Can we use these to build a shed on in cold climates that get snow and freezing (Wisconsin)?
Not legal for person load bearing structures in all areas. Check local codes first before using.
As you may or may not KNow we get about 60 inches of rain on the east coast. You Might want to use a bigger eave...
I have a couple of thoughts on how to improve this product. One after you have built the deck frame why not cement four to six post in the ground on the inside of the frame to anchor the structure? You can still do everything the same and it’s not much more work for a superior anchor. Number two your trusses are ugly. Why not use a joint that will keep it all flush and flat over just nailing a 2X4 across the truss? Small structure it would not take much effort and would look a lot better. Can be done with a domino joiner. Just a couple of things I would do. I can tell you take pride in your work and the structure looks good.
The shed foundation needs to rest on top of the 4x4 posts. Mounting those 2x6 boards to the side of the posts is not going to be stable long term. Wood shrinks and expands. The fasteners eventually wobble out the holes and the weight of the shed causes the 2x6s to more. The only to to stop that is for the 4x4 post being notched on one side so the 2x6s actually rests on the posts.
100%. This isn’t pro grade. These are thrown together quick. Gotta put the rim joist on top of the 4X4s. All the weight is on the screws.
@@gporr7004 Might seem like all the weight is on the screws but think about the flooring and sill plate/walls on top of the 4x4s. Everything tied together would make it tough for the 2x6 to sink down and 4x4s go up. Either way though I agree not a fan of just side lags on the 2x6s. Much better to notch the 4x4.
Might get a splinter tho
Bit of a risk to have the full weight of the walls, roof and contents hanging on the shear strength of lag bolts but hey, no joist hangers either so I guess all good
For a 3/8-inch lag screw in wood, the shear strength is typically around 1,200 to 1,400 pounds per screw in softwoods, but this can vary based on wood density. So once 3 are used, this load bearing capacity is more than enough. Saying that, it can't hurt to notch the posts and have the outer frame resting vertically on the post itself. For smaller sheds like this, lag screws are used but for larger sheds then it's typical to notch the posts.
@@Buildtuff If you notch the posts you are literally turning them into a 2x3. I also Mentioned the rainfall elsewhere. But that will have an effect on the Shed long term. You guys do a nice job and it's a nice product.
Premium? It's all the same as others
Not everyone uses Advantech t&g for flooring. Very few use pvc trim. Most use old 3-tab shingles rather than architectural shingles.
Great job, I'm a builder of sheds in Tennessee and been thinking of trying this flooring system.
Great to hear, thanks for considering TuffBlock.
Is there a way to anchor the Tuff Blocks so the floating deck doesn't become a flying deck in extreme weather?
Yes, you'll want to use earth/hurricane anchors. These auger into the soil and then attach to the subframe. They're typically use with large scale tents or sheds, but also work great for floating decks: www.amazon.com/Jayzod-Shelters-Canopies-Trampoline%EF%BC%8C4-Included/dp/B08H4DZCV4 You can also use duckbill earth anchors, and we made a short demonstration video here: ua-cam.com/users/shorts1HuYofBBTD4
I am currently in the process of building a floating deck with TuffBlocks, one tip do not install joist hangers in ledger and rim joist prior to installing frame, I did this but variations in pressure treated wood thickness and width caused a lot of frustration. Better to line up top of board level with rim joist and ledger then install joist hanger, will save you a lot of trouble and help keep things level.
Beautiful ❤️👍🏻
Need joist hangers. Will droop over time. Everything else is great!
The deck should sit on top of the 4X4s. This isn’t pro grade at all. It’s a quick throw together job
Cheap stinky 2x4 ramp😂
Do we know if it was a cost effective option the buyer selected or not?
This is a great tip,thanks for sharing !
This is a grest video if people wznt to buildbtheir own sheds etc, my only issue were the subtitles as they were in the way of some of the main features of tnis video, best regards from Australia
Thanks for the feedback. You should be able to disable subtitles in UA-cam.
Why they didn't cut the hoist width nutch on the 4x4 to place the hoist weight on it instead of the screws ?
The sheer weight for 3/8 lag screws are between 600 to 1,200 pounds each. It's preferable to use notched posts, and you can see that in other videos of ours. But in this case Jerry and Sierra factored in the load rating and with a small shed like this it sufficed. They just built a shed about 3x the size of this one, and for that they notched the 4x4 posts so the weight is on the post, not the fastener.
Beau, you look like you played some football in school. Fargo South?
If plywood is used for decking then yes, no light getting through but if planking is used with 3/16 gap or so between, then yes, that's enough sunlight to get things somewhat growing under there.
You didn't spray with Round Up then lay landscape fabric for weed control. Nothing worse than weeds and insects under the deck/porch. Good luck 🤞
Good catch. Some people opt not to use landscape fabric because the lack of sunlight usually kills all the vegetation underneath. But it's good to have as a failsafe just in case.
uhm.... concrete footers are to prevent heaving in winter freezes... how do these blocks fix that problem???? warm weather climates maybe ok but you need footers below the frostline any where north of I-40
TuffBlocks use the floating foundation method which was originally created in northern US states to overcome deep frost lines. Because the structure moves gradually with shifting ground as a single unit, it puts no stress on it. This is why it's primarily used only on small to medium sized ground decks that aren't attached to any fixed point. Deck blocks absolutely should NOT be used on raised decks coming off a home for example. They're made for sheds, cubby houses, rooftop decks and small deck platforms etc.
Good job bro 3 words imma give you in advice keep in ur head. Never Give Up these words will keep you going in life
Does this method of making decks would pass the inspection in NJ ?
Great video. Picked up some great tips
I am trying these out for a three foot tall landscape flower box.
Great job Beau! Your sheds are always top notch. Love the attention to detail.
Detail? First off not much support with 4x4 inside the corners. Better lying the rim joist on top. Second what about joist hangers for support as well?
Great build and design, but no Joist hangers? That floor over time with weight will sag! Screws alone are not enough.....
Homes have been built for years without joist hangers and no issues, my house was built in 1945 without joist hangers on floor framing, no sagging yet. I built a shed 9’ x 12’ in 2014 without joist hangers for the floor and it is still rock solid and level. I agree they are good insurance but not needed.
@@msk3905 ultimately, the density of the lumber holds the nails in place, be it nails through the rim joist into the floor joists or nails holding the joist hangers on. Simpson had and ingenious strategy to work their products into the building code and the thought process of almost every builder out there. Great business plan.
The floors always sag, specially because of weather changes, specially humidity, which is why a concrete pad is the best. Now if you live in Arizona then it should be ok lol.
Two 2x4’s screwed together are way stronger than one 4x4 and no need to chisel anything out.
Will the frost heave your deck if you use these to foot your 4x4's?
Is that an anchor he is doung in fram 16
Do you just lay these on the ground?
Yes with deck blocks they go straight onto the ground whether that's soil, bitumen or concrete etc. If you're building on soil then you'll want grade level earth that is compacted. The best method is to remove any loose top soil beneath the block itself and then tamp it down firmly. A bit of paver base also helps with drainage.
That’s really nice great job I’m going to buy me some tuff blocks now but I doubt my lean to will be that pretty
Great to hear! I'm sure you can do a fantastic job.
This has to be the best do it yourself video! Awesome!
does it work for a sleepout ?
I guess it doesn’t rain where you live
Excellent 👌
These are great for small projects. Beware using them for anything larger than this. They won't pass code for anything large enough to be considered a "structure."
Good point. TuffBlocks are primarily designed for ground level decks or sheds that are small to medium in size. If you build off a fixed point such as a home then it's typically classed as an extension of a permanent residence in which case you'd be looking to use in ground piers below the frost line. If your project is completely floating then it's using the floating foundation method and 'floats' with moving ground putting no stress on it. This is perfect for deck platforms in your yard, sheds, walkways and cubby houses etc. TuffBlocks are not made for raised decks coming off your house.
