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.

Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted
Thanks for the video, it's inspired me! I still don't understand how to attach the walls?...I know you said you left a gap and they weren't attached to the deck itself, but the video makes it look as if they are? Where exactly do you leave the gap, at the top or at the bottom? And, what do you attach the walls to if you don't attach them to the deck? Sorry, this is my first project and I am confused
4bmmc3 The walls are bolted to the concrete and to each other in the corners. They are not attached to anything else. They are not attached to the deck and they are not attached to the house wall. They are very rigid and do not move or wobble because they are bolted to the concrete. The gap is between the top of the wall and the deck and is maybe 1-2 inches and is difficult to see. Look at 2 minutes and 20 seconds in the video and you can see I filled the gap with some foam to prevent wasps and small animals and stuff getting inside. There is a skirt board wrapped around the lower part of the deck (attached to the deck only) which completely obscures the gap from the outside and prevents high winds and rain from getting inside.
I Might have missed it. I saw the foam in the space between the wall and deck. How did you deal with the walls of the addition where they meet the house wall?
The house wall with siding remained unaltered. The shed wall facing the house wall is bare plywood. No siding or even tyvek was not installed. The distance, as you can see is reasonable close, but looks closer than it is because of the shed vinyl siding end caps tend to cover the corners more and that did a great job of hiding the gap. You can't see between the 2 walls. The spacing worked out great.
Wow. That is the shed after seven years!? The inside looked like new on the video -- the lack of issues over the years seem to be a testament to the effectiveness of your plan and construction! I am currently planning something similar -- the idea is that my space will be for doing work that I would rather do outdoors, but that I cannot just do in an unprotected space due to our Alaska winters. There is a suspended (?) patio beneath our deck. Hmmm? After looking at it again the deck may just be supported by the ground and slide up and down the supports for the deck and stairs during seasonal changes -- thank you so much for pointing out the need to allow for expansion in your construction! .
@@panofish I'm in WIsconsin, and we get some cold winters as well. I noticed you used treated lumber on the concrete floors, but non-treated for everything else. The inside looks great on yours. Would you consider using treated lumber all around if you did it again or just use the treated lumber on the concrete?
@@z28rjb No need. Just treated lumber on the concrete and I did separate the treated lumber from the concrete with a thin sheet of isolatiing foam before I bolted the base plates of the wall down. It is now going on 17 years since I built it and the inside still looks perfect... just a few cob webs and dust. The deck above is still solid, but is showing some age. I will probably replace the decking and railing with more modern plastic or composite boards. I just need to find something that will also cover the skirt boards completely and look clean.
How did you get those metal sheets on? Glue and held it until dry? How were you able to put in the seal caulk? Seems easy for the first side but the 2nd side seems hard to get it in when up?
@@ychongy I cut the length to match the full length of the joists from a roll of aluminum sheet. And because the width of the aluminum was wider than the distance between the joists, the sheet naturally curved into a u shape and made it easy to fit. There is also a sloped trough created by plywood between the joists and that also made it easy to fit into place.... then I used minimal staples and lots of caulking. It's been about 17 years and the shed roof still shows no leaks.
@@panofish Thanks. I'm still confused on how you were able to get staples and caulking in? You put the sheet in and it naturally curved. But how were you able to staple and caulk when its covered? Unless you took the patio floor boards out from the top?
@@ychongy I did all before I covered with deck boards. So I carefully stood on the joists or used a loose couple of boards that I moved around to stand on. And finished installing all aluminum and caulking before installing deck boards on top.
How much space would you leave for heaving? I live in MI and will be placing my shed on a concrete pad I had poured a year ago. I couldn't tell from the video how much yours heaved.
+Zack Rickowski It's the same with or without the shed. In the winter the snow sits on the deck... when it melts it falls through into the troughs and onto the lawn. I'm in Michigan and we get plenty of snow and rain, but I see no difference in my deck, before or after installing the shed.
It was a flat roll of thin sheet metal, probably meant for roofing purposes. The width was perfect to put between the joists and onto the inclined plywood. It naturally created the curve on its own... I just stapled and sealed the edges with industrial caulk. :)
I built the shed wall a few inches away from the house. The wall still has plywood, but I didn't need to install vinyl siding. The vinyl siding end caps help hide the view. You can't see the backside.
Was wondering about that also. I'm thinking he built the wall as a hole and tilted it up into place before he tied it all together and secured it to the floor. Interested to hear how he secured the plywood to the back wall.
Awesome job. We are trying to do the same type of thing but are stuck at how to do the roof....can you give a bit more of a description on how to do the roof to ensure water does not get in and what exactly is needed. Thanks
Need the same information. We have the walls and all up, but what to do about the roof and making sure that's water tight from the deck above is the hard part. Need advice on a "reasonable" solution. I know Dry B low is an option but it would also be about $2,000.
I am so inadequate when it comes to anything tool or constructive related. I was looking for a video because I was curious if it could even been done, his is top of the line. Nice job! I can only dream.
'Construction related' is correct English. 'I feel so inadequate' is correct. Why? We all have to learn. Jump in! You will learn project by project. We are not born with this knowledge but have to acquire it. You will too.
Very nice. I'm planning on doing a similar build when the summer rolls around. I stumbled across your video when I was looking for ideas on the doors. Did you custom make your doors? Did you just use some plywood and wainscoting?
+Kev Thanks... I did custom make the doors. They are plywood backed, with tongue and groove cedar planks and cedar framing around the outside and the windows. They came out great and work great. I am planning on refinishing them this summer... the epifanes finish is finally wearing off.
Fantastic! I am looking at building a freestanding shed with an “overlook”. This looks like an excellent starting point. Do you have any recommendations if it was freestanding with a deck on top as opposed to your under-deck design? Thanks for any help.
i learnd a lot from your video. My deck is already built and the support posts are at the corners. I would probably have to pull up the decking and build the concrete pad and the rest of the shed inside the posts. It looks like your shed is open topped and the metal duct system carries the water away, unless I am seeing it wrong or there is a ceilng on the shed under the ducts.Thanks.
Great work! Do you have problems with bugs getting in from the space you left between the deck and the walls? Also, why did you have to take the braces off the beams?
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.
Great, thanks for info. Would you care sharing some more info? Cost of concrete floor? Did you DIY floor? Overall approx project cost and how did you screw the aluminum flashing to joists as place where you screw them is hidden between deck boards and flashing itself? Thanks!
Love the project. I'm considering building a storage area underneath my sunroom as well. With the foam sealed between the deck on shed, have you had any issues with those persistent rodents chewing their way in?
Thanks for SHARING! Exactly what I was trying to figure out... I searched Internet for "how-to-do" & found answer at 1:27 for water containment from below shed. Brilliant way to capture Water as well for other uses. Copying that approach! THANK YOU & Subscribed!

@@panofish Thank you and WENT to link. That gives me ALL I need to KNOW! This is a clever & simple way to do it. Better than Flat Roof material and Great way to USE the WATER!
Hey.. thanks for taking the time to make this video. It's people like you that help spur innovation for others. Great shed and planning out my deck build with a shed underneath. And very nice Hobbit doors...! :-)
I have a back deck almost identical to yours, and I have been drawing up plans to build a workshop underneath! Damn am I glad to have found your channel!!

This is beautiful. Nice job! not only building your Shed but making a kick ass video.
Very cool build and definitely gives me some inspiration to do one myself
Thanks. I hope to reshoot and update on the current state of it all these years later. My original video was apparently filmed on a potatoe.
Could you explain the roof and how you did it? I have a very low ceiling and would like to max space too.
good job. that's talented work. I would think you got plenty of neighbors' interest.

Are you the voice from the bible on cd ?

staples first.. then I used industrial caulking.

Very professional results
how do you deal with water on the Deck? where I am we get a lot of snow... so wood would start rotting after a while.
+Zack Rickowski It's the same with or without the shed. In the winter the snow sits on the deck... when it melts it falls through into the troughs and onto the lawn. I'm in Michigan and we get plenty of snow and rain, but I see no difference in my deck, before or after installing the shed.
Where did you get the half round sheet metal to put in the rafters? Having trouble finding the material
It was a flat roll of thin sheet metal, probably meant for roofing purposes. The width was perfect to put between the joists and onto the inclined plywood. It naturally created the curve on its own... I just stapled and sealed the edges with industrial caulk. :)
Did you end up having to get a permit to build your shed?
How did you handle the wall connecting to the house side?
I built the shed wall a few inches away from the house. The wall still has plywood, but I didn't need to install vinyl siding. The vinyl siding end caps help hide the view. You can't see the backside.
How did you waterproof the deck? Mine leaks.
No leaks since 2005... you can see more detail on how I waterproofed on my website panofish.net/building-a-shed-under-a-deck
hello, how did you screw the back wall? thanks!
Was wondering about that also. I'm thinking he built the wall as a hole and tilted it up into place before he tied it all together and secured it to the floor. Interested to hear how he secured the plywood to the back wall.
What kind of floor is that, concrete?
Yes, concrete.
you should do more about how you customise your motorbike
