The bitumen sheet looks great on the walls, but considering how easily it cuts, it might be worth a lining of osb or plywood on the inside for security. You’ve got a chunky looking door and lock, but the quickest and quietest way in would be cutting through the walls. Just a thought. Great video and explanation as always.
I know it was partly due to the poor weather, but this just shows how worthwhile it is to construct your door and window surrounds in advance of the frame build - it all came together beautifully Matt I really like the look of the vertical bitumen sheet despite it being a value option ! Will you be following up with an interior video and the guttering - I would like to see this ?
Hi Matt had a quick look a the roof sheeting company website , works out about £45 pound a square meter plus I assume edge panels etc . But considering the price of rubber sheeting and the fact you have to build a roof in the first place plus insulate it , I reckon those insulated panels seem a good bet . Be interesting for you to do a costing comparison on the two systems , I appreciate you haven’t had to pay for your panels but it would still help others to make an informed decision . Finally as we all know the price of pre-made sheds these days is very expensive , and they don’t come anywhere near the quality of your out buildings . Many people who are interested in DIY would lean a lot from your informative channel . 👍
@@Badgerworkshop yeah but yours will be built way better than an off the shelf number and you will use better, sturdier materials and it will no doubt last longer.
You are right, NEVER put your roofing screws in the valley’s of the roofing sheets The valley’s is where the rain water runs, and no matter the screws rubber washers it will eventually leak Always put roofing screws in the peaks
Always super impressed with how you do all this on your own! I agree the wood cladding on the front is a really nice aesthetic with the other walls being bitumen. A bit more work, a bit more expense but definitely worth it 👍
I was taught to put the fixings through the peaks to reduce the risk of leeks (and leaks!) from pooled water 25 years ago. It might also help spread the load better through the corrugations, but I'm not an expert and this is just my gut feeling.
A great project very well presented. I built a structure forming three stables and a feed room. I used similar cladding. The only problem I had was using screws within two to three inches away from the board edges they split easily. Using a nail gun worked perfectly with no splits.
I'm curious how drainage works off the roof... the last piece of trim looks like it would dam the water in, unless I missed something? Thanks for explaining how you do things. With every build you do I'm getting more confident to tackle my own one day!
I don’t think it matters where the screws go, it looks brilliant, I’m sure it will withstand the weather and am just grateful that you have taken The time to film, edit and share this 🙏🙏 yet again I’ve learned loads, usually inspires me to do something on a smaller scale - thank you so much 👍👍👍👍
I think personally I would have done a couple of things differently: The Bitumen cladding has some advantages but at the bottom edge you have created a potential home behind the pabels for "Creatures" plus possible access for rodents into the shed. Perhaps it might have been a good idea to infill the bottom cavities with either a sheeting accessory fitting (if your mfg offers one) or if pushed wire wool. I am guessing you could still do that? On the wooden cladding (which I prefer) I always screw the cladding so that the following piece overlaps the fastening. The advantage is it makes the fastening more waterproof plus aids security. The downside is that if a piece of cladding needs to be replaced it means a degree of stripdown. I also put stainless steel rodent meshing as a wrap under the flooring and up circa 400mm behind cladding. I have learnt the hard way over 30 years with previous sheds!!!
Great shed Matt, and I've looking to replace my pre-built shed with a self-made one myself and there are some good tips here. David Musson Fencing has much better prices on fencing/feather edge than the DIY stores 125x22x2.4m is £1.44 vs Wickes 100x11x2.4m at £3.30. Also I think you're pretty local to me 🤫so its about a £40-50 delivery charge, but pays for itself after around 30 boards.
That's a great video, when I need to replace my shed I won't buy I'll make and get the size I want. You've given me the tools to do so. Thanks Matt.. ps love it when you think out loud, not just me then! 😂
Great work Matt, a nice decent sized shed good for storage. You have done well there mate give your self a pat on the back, and get your self a beer, take care 👍
Great couple of videos and helpful as I intend building something similar early next spring. What would have been helpful even better would have been a run down sheet showing the various costs - especially the roof but I guess I can go research that myself from your links. Thanks. 👍🏻😎
Ive never seen a shed that was built where they completely forgot the walls. I built a shed recently and made a ton of mistakes, certainly do not entertain the idea of being an above average or for that matter an average or diy hobbyist builder. But I really had no trouble whatsoever remembering to add the walls. 😂😂
This was a great set of video series. Personally i prefer longer videos like this. Now you could break down the wall between the sheds and connect them. Then you would have a super long workshop. That of course would necessitate another shed build (you see where this leads), which will make for more great content. Also, I see a shepherd's hut at the end of that garden in the future :D Little wood stove in it etc. Great place for that cup of tea :D Cheers.
The shed is looking great, I used the same kind of panels as the roofing for a couple of sheds i made and its holding up really well. I screwed into the peak and so far its worked quite well. On a vertical application i don't think there is any issue of standing water and I would probably go with screwing into the valley like you did.
Great shed but when screwing the feather edge cladding you should really position the screws to the bottom of the board so it goes through the top of the last board fixed. I made the mistake of screwing in the middle of the board, they tend to bow.
Not sure about that.Yes, it is best to screw a bit lower down but not through the board underneath as that will mean the top one will split because it will expand and shrink at a different rate from the one below. In short, do not allow a screw to go through both boards. I made that mistake on a fence once and had to replace the feather edge boards very quickly.
@@priestland1 Nice one and thanks for not fighting back at me. I only found out myself by being told by a professional construction firm where I had gone wrong and it all made sense after that. Have a great 2025 and I hope you enjoy watching more of these films and clips as much as I do.Every day is a school day when you see how things should be done.
By having the battens horizontal, does that not create a barrier for any moisture that finds it way back there from escaping out of the bottom? I’d be worried about water pooling on top of the battens and them rotting.
I can't find that orange bladed tape measure anywhere, do you know the model number? Also thanks for the content, I've just realised I've been enjoying it for years. I also really appreciate your efforts to lower volume when using tools, it vastly improves the experience.
I agree with you the first time, screws in the peaks, any water than comes through will run down the inside of the peaks and not contact the walls. Sorry.
Would love to know the cost of this. Just looking at getting a shed and I'd like to build myself as off the shelf look pretty crap but don't know if way more expensive building to the standard you have here ( would think so).
Great use of bitumen roofing panels as walls - especially turning the corner! My initial view was that I would have hung the door to open the other way to make it easier to access from your workshop. Am I missing something?
I thought that at first too, but then realised that you wouldn't be able to get large boards in and out without lifting them over nextdoor's fence if the door faced the other way.
Hi Matt, that was absolutely outstanding, you are very lucky to have not one BUT two shed, would it not have been better to build one big shed? Either way great work mate, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍👍
I thought the drone shot at the end looked a little shaky but then spotted the shadow of the selfie stick 😉 Im hoping you come back to say it was a broomstick and gaffer tape 😂
Looks good. Are you going to add a drip edge to the bottom of the door and something behind the bottom row of cladding to keep the critters and insects out?
Hi Matt, this is a treat! The only thing that occurred to me from the shots at the end is, are the roofing panels going in the right direction? Shouldn’t they follow the pitch so rain doesn’t pool along the ridges?
Hi Matt. One question for you.....how did you do the base? Was it framed on breeze blocks or something else? Great shed build video. Just at the right time for me as I'm planning a shed build too.

bloody love a shed/workshop build 😀 Very enjoyable and while I am sure this was not cheap, I am sure it was relatively affordable compared to others.
Not much more expensive than buying one
@@Badgerworkshop yeah but yours will be built way better than an off the shelf number and you will use better, sturdier materials and it will no doubt last longer.
Any value in some diagonal bracing? Or is the internal cladding going to handle that function?
You are right, NEVER put your roofing screws in the valley’s of the roofing sheets
The valley’s is where the rain water runs, and no matter the screws rubber washers it will eventually leak
Always put roofing screws in the peaks

Brilliant. I really enjoy watching you build!, thanks Matt
looking forward to seeing what you do on the inside!
That looks neat Matt. The roof is perfect.
The roof of this shed looks better than the roof on your workshop. The bitumen cladding has a certain industrial look to it, love it!
Yes this is a better roof system
Hi Matt, another great video, well done. Could you share where you got your window and door from, or did you make them? Keep up the good work. Thanks

Thank you
Great work Matt, a nice decent sized shed good for storage. You have done well there mate give your self a pat on the back, and get your self a beer, take care 👍
Those two look great together badger! Nice you got them done before the winter.
Thank you.
Another nice job Matt!

Looks great! Took some finding though, the two shed videos don’t show on your upload list!
Beautiful, Matt! Fantastic work! 😃
Looking forward to the next part!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you very much
Very nice and a great job.
Impressive results! I like the use of the two styles of cladding. Nice one !
Thank you
That went up quick!
Yes did not take long
Well done! The neighbors might be placing their orders!
Haha they might
"I'm so glad I've got you here to talk to" hahahaha I'm glad we could all help!
Thanks for the help

I think I have to stop at two sheds
Very inspirational Matt. Just the sort of thing to reawaken woodworking interests. Thanks
Thank you
Nice Job !!!!
Good stuff, well done!

That is the rolls Royce of sheds, well envious!
Thank you very much
Really nice
Thank you
Hi , nice clear video
Not read all the comments but wondered if you shared an approx peice of what this build wpuld cost ?
I can't find that orange bladed tape measure anywhere, do you know the model number?
Also thanks for the content, I've just realised I've been enjoying it for years.
I also really appreciate your efforts to lower volume when using tools, it vastly improves the experience.
should of painted feather edge b4 you fitted it as it will keep shrinking, cracking job though buddy.
Can you do a video recording the costs please?
I agree with you the first time, screws in the peaks, any water than comes through will run down the inside of the peaks and not contact the walls. Sorry.
Great vid, thank you. How much did it cost?
Would love to know the cost of this. Just looking at getting a shed and I'd like to build myself as off the shelf look pretty crap but don't know if way more expensive building to the standard you have here ( would think so).
Great shot at the end! Will we be treated to any future landscaping or garden projects? You have such a wonderful space left.
Probably not on this channel
Great use of bitumen roofing panels as walls - especially turning the corner!
My initial view was that I would have hung the door to open the other way to make it easier to access from your workshop. Am I missing something?
I thought that at first too, but then realised that you wouldn't be able to get large boards in and out without lifting them over nextdoor's fence if the door faced the other way.
Exactly this
Where did you get the shed from? Looking for a much smaller one to get garden tools out of my workshed.
Have i missed a section but what is that overhanging roof on top of the rubber roof
Good work
Seems like Matt is planning a bridge between the sheds.
Thank you
Hi Matt, that was absolutely outstanding, you are very lucky to have not one BUT two shed, would it not have been better to build one big shed? Either way great work mate, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you. I wanted a workshop and a shed
So jealous of your shed lol
Brillant jo. How much would you say it would cost to complete this type of shed?
Where did you get your door and window from for the shed?
Separate space, ok, 1 to heat, the other not, but need 2 security systems,
door at the end, strange but that might make it easier to get stuff in/out.
From what I've seen, Matt thinks things out in advance. I bet there is a reason for why he's done what he's done . . :)
How close is this to permitted derby rule
With the insulated roof ? Looks close to the high limit’s generally or is your area diffrent
Would be interested to see a costs video.
Do you have a link for the cladding please?
Nice little series, what was the cost
That paint tin was purchased on Gallifrey, right?
I thought the drone shot at the end looked a little shaky but then spotted the shadow of the selfie stick 😉
Im hoping you come back to say it was a broomstick and gaffer tape 😂
What gutter system is used or does it just run off the roof
Looks good. Are you going to add a drip edge to the bottom of the door and something behind the bottom row of cladding to keep the critters and insects out?
Thank you. No I’m not
Hi Matt, this is a treat! The only thing that occurred to me from the shots at the end is, are the roofing panels going in the right direction? Shouldn’t they follow the pitch so rain doesn’t pool along the ridges?
I think they do follow the pitch of the roof. I believe the roof is pitched along the length of the shed rather than the width.
Yes that’s correct
@@NeilGuard Thanks Neil. I just realised after looking at it again! The closing shot looks a bit deceptive 😬
where is the shed door from?
Hi Matt. One question for you.....how did you do the base? Was it framed on breeze blocks or something else? Great shed build video. Just at the right time for me as I'm planning a shed build too.
Your drill sounds like a Wookiee 😂
Don't forget to paint the top window reveal
A tunnel between the 2 next Matt?
Would be good
very nice design how much did the shed cost you to build? I would love to have the courage to build a shed from scratch like that
Without the roof about £600
Do all the houses in your road have those insanely long gardens?
Most do
were this and the last one recorded in the 1970s ;-)
I never tell youtubers they’re doing it wrong, because I’m generally quite clueless 😂
For some odd reason I want to build a shed now 😂
Haha good
When you cut the membrane for the window how could you stop yourself sticking your head through and saying “here’s Johnny”.
Question: If a UA-camr does something and no one posts a comment, is he still wrong? 😊
The only humans who are in their right... are right here in the comment sections, sorry mate!! =D
