For me, the ideas in ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP 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.
Holy moly, concise and informative. After learning how to make posts and notching them from other videos, I'll use this video for that next floor step. Thanks!!!!
Keeping it level and square is key. I made a minor mistake by fastening the floor to the foundation at dusk in low light. My eyes failed me and I was off by a 1/8"-1/4" but you know nobody notices it because the siding covers it all. I can't believe I am building something that actually looks like the videos and finished product on the plans. This might become addictive - however 99 degree weather has a way of slowing me down. Great Great videos. I have watched all of them several times and had total confidence building the shed. I put my shed on 6" x 4" treated skids (6" side on the ground) then put the shed on level gravel troughs (dug out slightly by hand) not a bunch of gravel spread out over a larger area.
I will be done tomorrow. Ready for chickens in a few days. This is one nice coop. USE treated wood 2x6 as in the video, but make double sure it is pretty dry or put it together soon. Also I used brackets, and other types of fasteners as wells as nails for the platform. You won't believe how solid this shed is when you are finished. IT IS AS TANK.
Good video. Thx. To keep critters from making themselves a great home under the floor add 1/4" hardware mesh around perimeter stapled to floor header and bury/extend the mesh under the crushed stone.
When ready. Gonna get the plans from you. Shopped for supplies and made a list. Your videos are awesome. saved all three. Excited to finally get this done soon. :)
Nice video! A couple of tips for you. For a larger structures, you would need to square the frame. To avoid having chalk lines all over the floor, use a 4' t-square. The perimeter is not necessarily straight, and should be aligned with the edges of the plywood.
Thanks for the video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing one off guide for building better sheds and woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy got great success with it.
+mderoller Kudos for the Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you researched - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is an awesome one off product for building better sheds and woodworking without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got amazing success with it.
Great video. 1 question : is it ok not to "atach" it to the ground? The wind cannot move it? Thank you. I plan to build one myself and my biggest concern is the one mentioned above...
Instead of Gravel, shall I use paper sand bottom and top patio pathways Square pewter stone 12x12 blocks from homedepot? which one is better? people says gravel stone move your shed, sand and top square pewter will not move shed and aligned well? please suggest.
Do you need to compact the gravel? Most sites for laying a gravel bed for a shed say it has to be compacted with a machine but here you just level it off. I bought the plans for the 10x3 LT shed, similar to the one in the video. It’s a reasonably small shed so maybe the compaction advice is just for bigger sheds? Thanks
iCreatables i plan on using it for our shed, thanks :0) I wasnt sure if we needed a support box around the outside to keep the rocks from moving or spreading outward
I am finally ready to start my lean-to shed on a pre-existing cement slab. Is it important the the base frame be totally level besides square, meaning, should i add shims to level. I am sure most likely my slap has the standard slope for drainage. Is it important or is it so small that i won't notice it...
Ken Mcfadden The wall top plates must be level so the roof is level. You can get the top plates level by either adjusting the stud lengths or by installing shims under each of the wall studs and hold down locations. It is more solid to adjust the stud lengths than to shim the walls. When walls are shimmed you have gaps under the bottom plates.
I wouldn’t recommend this foundation unless your shed will be in a sheltered location. Mine blew over before I had even finished building it. Although the shed is quite heavy its weight alone is not enough to hold it down. I have now dug 400 mm deep holes at each corner and will concrete in a metal plate that will bolt to the shed foundation. This would have been a lot easier to do before the shed was in location as the holes keep filling up with gravel etc. Earth anchors are another option but I wasn’t able to get any where I am. I thought the gravel bed looked like an easy option but in hindsight I think a concrete slab would have been easier

hmmm help me here if your first 16" is starting from the edge of the board why do you need to take 3/4" off it to get 16" center? in your example wouldn't 16" to center be 16 3/4 " be center to the next one? ie measure 16" from edge of board mark it put x on the left side? sorry just asking as the first mark i don't think will have a 16" center in this video? I know this is an old video but am wondering on it anyway? Thanks in advance
The 1 1/2" wide 2x4 will span from 15 1/4" to the 16 3/4" mark, centering it on 16" . Note the x side of the mark is where the stud goes. You can also mark your line at 16 3/4" and x the 16" side of the mark to note where your stud goes. Either way is 16" centers.
if i have a tape and i put it on left edge of board which is also where the edge of the 1st 2x4 is and measure 16" and put a mark and then put x on the left side of that mark it will be a 16" center won't it?
The reason is at 6:38. When you've covered your joists, your going to need to know exactly where they are. This way, you know they will be at the 16" marks on your tape measure. You could put the joists at 16", but then you'd have to mark their centers on the floor at 15.25".
Check out the Stodoys plans, they're really worth paying attention to. I've been using them for a couple of months now and haven't been disappointed with them yet
Do I need skids to add space between the gravel and the floor frame, or will water simply "filter" through the gravel? Also, I plan on storing a riding mower inside, do you think the gravel will stay in place when loading it inside with ramps? Thanks.
I am not in the construction industry nor am I a carpenter, I wanted a good guide to help with small projects such as small sheds and some remodeling around the house. So there’s a magic which is Shed Plan [ visit here *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. This Shed Plan covers all my instructions from top to bottom in a step by step manner.
+oreospapa Yes it works well in frost areas. The shed will move with the ground, similar to how a concrete slab driveway or sidewalk moves. If you do not want it to move you will need to install a foundation that goes below the frost line.

You really spam the shit out of that comment on a lot of different shed videos…
The best video series on building a Lean to Shed DIY on the internet. You have done a good job - I hope to have my Shed Chicken coop finished soon.
I second that. How'd I miss this one. I watched several before landing on this one. Nothing subject to interpretation.
Me & my son are going to attempt this thanks for video much appreciated

Super helpful, thank you. I'm going to try to build a cute grandkids playhouse and now have confidence I can do it correctly with your tips!
just ordered the *WoodBlueprints. Com* guide for step-by-step videos and different plans to BUILD A SHED. they have some awesome plans in there
You are a tres good teacher

I''ll just be using help from this video just to make a floor for my resin shed, thanks.
Amritpal Sandhu Glad it helped!
Great video. 1 question : is it ok not to "atach" it to the ground? The wind cannot move it? Thank you. I plan to build one myself and my biggest concern is the one mentioned above...
If you need it attached you can install ground anchors. They are available at home stores.
@@icreatablestv Do you have a suggestion for a ground anchor? Wind is also my concern. Thanks for creating this video.
So what's to hold the shed in place on the gravel? As it stands now it can just slide around.
How long could this floor be expected to last? Would it be better to make a concrete pad for the floor?
dont you have to compact the dirt and gravel?
Instead of Gravel, shall I use paper sand bottom and top patio pathways Square pewter stone 12x12 blocks from homedepot? which one is better? people says gravel stone move your shed, sand and top square pewter will not move shed and aligned well? please suggest.
What does 12 inches on center on the field mean please?
What would the effect of replacing nails with patio screws be?
As long as they are for outdoor use and enough length for as least 1/2 inch of bite into the wood you are screwing to then it will be fine.
Do you need to compact the gravel? Most sites for laying a gravel bed for a shed say it has to be compacted with a machine but here you just level it off. I bought the plans for the 10x3 LT shed, similar to the one in the video. It’s a reasonably small shed so maybe the compaction advice is just for bigger sheds? Thanks
I would hand tamp it to reduce any settling.
It doesn't need to fix the wood foundation on the ground?
how is the foundation working out for you? any water getting inside?
Hi, No the shed is perfectly dry inside. Water flows right under it.
iCreatables i plan on using it for our shed, thanks :0) I wasnt sure if we needed a support box around the outside to keep the rocks from moving or spreading outward

Great Video!... Bonus Dogey Assistant at 7:00

will this type of foundation work in an area with cold winter? the frost won't cause the shed to shift and become unlevel?
Yes it works well, the shed "floats" on the ground. If you have highly compressible soils you may need to level it if it gets out of level.
What is the square footage of this lean-to?
Don't see the size of this shed anywhere. What size is it???
4'x8'
hmmm help me here if your first 16" is starting from the edge of the board why do you need to take 3/4" off it to get 16" center? in your example wouldn't 16" to center be 16 3/4 " be center to the next one? ie measure 16" from edge of board mark it put x on the left side? sorry just asking as the first mark i don't think will have a 16" center in this video?

You could put the joists at 16", but then you'd have to mark their centers on the floor at 15.25".
why do you have to clear the vegetation cant you just pour gravel on top of it?
You probably can. It helps to keep the weed down and there are no weeds to rot and allow the shed to settle.
what is the crown edge?
When you look down the edge of the board it will have a bow in it. Putting the bow up will be crowning the board.
Thank-you, I'm going to try to build this shed by myself. Your instructional videos are excellent guides, and very encouraging. Thank-you Again!
What type of gravel is recommended?
I didn't order anything!!
+David Rosen 1/2" crushed gravel.
Thank you for the video. Can I use screws for the Joists?

I heard very good opinions about the Woodglut plans.
make sure the first dirt removal is not lower in the middle or you will make a ponding area.
Check out the Stodoys plans, they're really worth paying attention to. I've been using them for a couple of months now and haven't been disappointed with them yet
Do I need skids to add space between the gravel and the floor frame, or will water simply "filter" through the gravel? Also, I plan on storing a riding mower inside, do you think the gravel will stay in place when loading it inside with ramps? Thanks.
Water filters through the gravel. Use 1/2" gravel for the least amount of movement and have the gravel go out about 6 inches around the perimeter.

Don’t we need to bolt the base frame in the ground to avoid the movement over time ?
The structure will not move. Gravel beds are used under train tracks so this is nothing.
Thank you!
Thank you very much for posting this, very helpful :)
Thank you
Good video! What is the maximum size shed that could be built directly on the ground like this?
Any size. There are homes built with a treated wood foundation.
Is this method recommended for areas that have to worry about frost lines and ground heave?
+oreospapa Yes it works well in frost areas. The shed will move with the ground, similar to how a concrete slab driveway or sidewalk moves. If you do not want it to move you will need to install a foundation that goes below the frost line.
can you tell me how long the galvanized nails should be?
2 1/2" for siding. 3" for framing.
