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.
you mention cutting the siding 1/2" below the top plates on both the tall and short shed walls, but in the #4 video has the tall wall siding looking flush and the short wall only looks like it is cut 1/2" below the top of the short wall top plate and not 1/2" below it. Please clarify.
+Cy Ance This is a good question. I mindlessly cut the siding 1/2" bellow the top plate on my tall wall and the soffit does not cover the gap. Because this is the side that faces the wind, I fear the top of the siding will collect water on it and eventually fail. My response was to add flashing to the inside of the facia that hangs down below the gap. I recommend that you DO NOT cut the siding 1/2" below the top plate on the tall wall, but that you cut it flush with the top plate.
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
Is there any reason not to paint the siding first before installing? Also to paint the trim before installing? It would seem to shortcut all the masking later. Any one...?
I am learning how to replace some old siding on my house, good video. I’m from Maui and just noticed the Hawaiian islands on the back of your shirt. Cheehee Aloha.
Two questions. Building a 4'x10' shed just like this one. First time ever building anything like this. First question: is there any difference by having plywood applied to the outside of the framing first? And then add the siding? Will it still be waterproof without the plywood? Second question: my rear wall is almost 9' tall and all I can find is 8' tall siding. How do I go about that? Thank you!
Yes it works without the plywood, as long as the siding is installed correctly. Also, the siding shown in the video is plywood siding. If you are using a lap siding it is recommended to install O.S.B. or plywood underneath to give a shear value.
Just a thought. Wouldn't be faster and more accurate to cut out the window openings with a router. An unskilled carpenter will find it very difficult to cut them out up in the air on a ladder.
When cutting your siding pieces that go on either side of the doors (the are 4-8" or so) BE CAREFUL this and other lean to shed plans call for 6 pcs of T1-11 siding (this includes enough for the material for the doors or door) however if you have even minimal waste you won't have enough material to use for the doors/door. I had to buy a 7th piece because i was an inch shy of having enough material from my sixth piece. It was my bad because I allowed for that in of waste knowing that I had a 48" wide area to cover and only a 48" wide piece to work with for the door.
One thing you can do is cut the T1-11 pieces for the vertical areas that will be covered by the trim 1x4 a little less width and substitute it with a piece of scrap plywood if you have it.
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
I am using Sherwin Williams Semi Transparent Waterborne Stain Color - Yankee. You will need 2 Gallons of stain or paint to cover T1-11 siding. The siding is rough cut and soaks it in. I purchased my gallons on sale for $34 a piece. 1 gallon covered approximately 115 sq feet. BTW my $2 brush from Harbor Freight was 4 times as good as the $14 brush from Sherwin Williams - Go figure. Painting with a brush is slow. I recommend painting/staining your door with all the trim on it and around the doorway before you hang the door. The Yankee colored stain from SW is a little darker than I wanted, but I used it to stain the whitewood trim and the trim is lighter in color when stained so the overall look is pretty nice. I also painted the inside of the door way and I would suggest painting all the reveals and jams.

I don't understand how having a 1inch gap with the siding of the door opening works with the 1 and a quarter overhang of the siding on the door itself?
+glumberty1 That is correct. You can see photos on our website of sheds being built up against walls and fences. www.icreatables.com//sheds/photo-gallery-lean-to-sheds.html

Great Vid, You should put up some vids of sporting events your at, I subscribed to you Sarah, good luck with UA-cam!

Wow! The wood frames are not strong enough before the wall is mounted. This type of shed could blow away by a strong wind/hurricane in Florida.
Hah, Timpanogas and Cascade in the background! You're in my neighborhood. These videos are fantastic. Thanks.

Why not cut the back pieces to size before installing rather than cut to 1/2" below after installing?
how u cut the siding w skillsaw after its already down??still dont get how they did that
Does the lean to shed have to lean to something or can it be a few feet from my block fence?
Are there any issue with the bottom of the plywood rotting over time where it could get wet? How would you seal this?
Perfect thank you

Jim Watson Routers work great to cut out window openings. Thanks for the tip.
iCreatables Your welcome
A jigsaw works nicely too.

Cy Ance Good tip.
iCreatables It was my fault, I got a little carefree.

Wonder how you do this if the lean-to is being built up close to an existing wall? Looks easy fi it is being built in the middle of no where.
+Vince Laurent Build the back wall first and then attach the siding to it before you put it up.
+glumberty1 That is correct. You can see photos on our website of sheds being built up against walls and fences. www.icreatables.com//sheds/photo-gallery-lean-to-sheds.html
+iCreatables With a shed this small you can build it in the open, then move the completed shed to its permanent location.
+The Garlic Farm, do you have any idea how much one of these finished shed weighs?
+glumberty1 I would guess 400-600 lbs. One person can slide an end on concrete. Just a guess.:)
Excellent systematic video series! Thanks for taking the time to do this!!
