Nice! Glad I found your video. I just bought the same shed in the 7'x7' size and it is in pieces in my back yard. I was looking at aluminum angle pieces in Lowe's today and thinking about putting them in all 4 corners. But now I think I will use your idea instead. Thanks for posting bro. I'm also in FL and don't want this shed blowing across the yard.
Mine stood up to a direct hit with Hurricane Sally. Sally made me aware of a few weaknesses with my design though. ua-cam.com/video/6rzWx_zzuH0/v-deo.html
Hello That is very nice. I just put together a craftsman/ suncast 7x7 shed on a 2x6 platform for my girlfriend. The roof gave us a little trouble because you really have to pull everything together and screw in those 1” long screws. I’m looking to strengthen the walls and probably do the same with this one. You have to. There’s really nothing giving it that much support. Nice video
Bro this is the best and simpler set up Ive seen on youtube. You said you would do more of shelving , where would you put it on top or bottom?. I assume bottom since there is no more wood towards the ceiling...
Bottom, however I have not done so yet and may not since I have needed the floor space. If I do it will not span the entire wall. Thanks for your compliments!
@@jamie.andrews awsome! Im planning on going to home depot, Can you please tell me how many lumbar you used, I have the same exact shed. The exact size?
Thanks! The brace I added at the top hinge helped in Hurricane Sally. See my video here for what went wrong on the other door. ua-cam.com/video/6rzWx_zzuH0/v-deo.html
Great video Jamie. Just wondering how deep the shelf is across the back? I was thinking of putting a 2 foot deep shelf in mine, but that may be too much. Maybe 16-18 inches would be better?
Mine is 2ft. I used 3/4 inch plywood with 2x4 backing across the front. The other 3 sides sit on top of the wall studs so it is supported on all sides completely.
Have you seen my video of what happened to the shed after Sally? It made it through, but I needed to make some modifications. ua-cam.com/video/6rzWx_zzuH0/v-deo.html
I finished framing and shelving my 8x7 Suncast shed using your video as inspiration. I completely framed the entire inside and put two shelves on each of the left and rear walls. The right wall I put up a garden tool holder. This thing is solid! The last thing I need to resolve is the issue securing the door on the right side to the frame with L brackets. You mentioned around min 3:10 another video. Can you post a link? Or what size L brackets and where did you purchase them? Thank you!!! Actually, I figured out the L brackets. I used a 4” on the hinge and a 5” on the frame. Got them at Home Depot. Pretty easy and my door is much more secure.
If you haven't seen my recent shed video you should take a look. Brace the other side as well if you live in an area of high wind. Im glad I could help you with your shed!
Did you screw the vertical 2 x 4s to the shed or just the base? And, if you did drill through the base, any issues? I'm looking to do something similar ony 10x8 suncast
I tied the wood framing into the metal supports that connect to the roof. I did not anchor to plastic anywhere. Wood framing is tied to the floor as well.
Hello Jamie Nice video I am in Florida as well' North Miami Bch. Can u tell me the weight & is the lock good & if not What kind of lock 🔐would work well? Thanku. & what foundation did u use?
This is a great modification. I have the same shed in a 8x10 and I just bought all the wood and hardware to do this. Modeling it off of yours. Did you fasten it to the back wall at all? If so, how did you do it?
Thanks! I did not fasten it to the back wall, only the 2 side walls. If you take a look at my hurricane aftermath video you will see it held up well and the only thing I would change is to tie the framing in to the front doors, which I did on one side, but not the other. Here is that video. ua-cam.com/video/6rzWx_zzuH0/v-deo.html Good luck on the buildout!
Can I ask how did you attach it to the metal framing? Did you drill holes on the metal and then use screws to attach both wooden and metal framing? Didn’t see many screws on the wood. Thank you in advance!
@@renalin4694 Look at around the 2 minute mark in the video. You will see that I mention tieing it in with the black metal vertical bracket. I just used an L shaped bracket and screwed into the metal support.
Thank you sir for explaining! I need to built this shed this summer and am concerned for the stability. Now I'm confident. Thank you for helping out a DIY new bee!
@@jamie.andrews very nice. I ended up buying the same one and am debating on getting the 3ft extension or not but definitely would like to try a the same or similar setup to yours.
Why do I see light coming through the corner at 2:25? Two panels shouldn't join each other in the corner. I thought they make one solid piece that bends around the corners so there's no potential for rain coming in. Would it have been easier to use stronger steel shelving brackets for about $1.50 each instead of small chunks of 2x4 underneath?
The corners overlap so you might be seeing through the price that overlaps. It is thinner. It does not leak at all in the corners. You could use metal shelving brackets, however the strong ones that are shaped like triangles take up a good bit of room under the shelves and don't allow as much room to stand stuff up. This is why I went with wood. I also already had this wood so it did not cost me anything to make the supports.
Fantastic job on interior of this shed just inspired me to buy one and do the same !!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks I am glad I could help!
Thanks for the video I’ll be copying this

Wow! Brilliant idea. Thank you so much for sharing your idea!
Very nice. I have almost the same one that we use for our chicken coop. Great minds think alike!
Thanks!
I love this!! I need this, so I am sending video to my husband...lol
really nice job. thanks for sharing! this shed is not going anywhere ;-)
You got that right!

@@jamie.andrews awsome! Im planning on going to home depot, Can you please tell me how many lumbar you used, I have the same exact shed. The exact size?
I went ahead and purchase 20 2×3 studs and 5 2×4 studs. I hope that works.
@@hjciprian Sounds about right. It has been several years and I don't recall how many I purchased. Good luck!
@@hjciprianwhoops I bought 2.2 s

Sweet set-up!
Thanks
Great job sir. I also live in South Florida and not sure if the door entrance would need a little it more protection for hurricanes winds.
Thanks! The brace I added at the top hinge helped in Hurricane Sally. See my video here for what went wrong on the other door. ua-cam.com/video/6rzWx_zzuH0/v-deo.html
Did you drill anything from the outside in other than the lag bolts going from inside out?
Nope. Just the inside lag bolts.
Great video Jamie. Just wondering how deep the shelf is across the back? I was thinking of putting a 2 foot deep shelf in mine, but that may be too much. Maybe 16-18 inches would be better?

Thanks for the Super!
I’m doing this in the spring.
Hey Jamie, do you think whatever holding the roof can withstand a category 3 hurricane? I'm thinking to get it, I leave in South FL.

@@jamie.andrews I live in Northern IL, so hurricanes and extremely high winds is not a problem.
Lagged in to pavers ? Or lagged into 2x6 set on pavers. What's the floor frame look like under plastic flooring
The floor framing is 2x6 topped with 3/4 plywood. The frame is secured in the ground with earth anchors (4). It is all sorta overkill.
Did you screw the vertical 2 x 4s to the shed or just the base? And, if you did drill through the base, any issues? I'm looking to do something similar ony 10x8 suncast
Also, is it safe to drill through the sides? Did you silicone the screws to deter leakage?
I tied the wood framing into the metal supports that connect to the roof. I did not anchor to plastic anywhere. Wood framing is tied to the floor as well.
@@jamie.andrews gotcha! So floor and framing. Thanks for the info!
Heck of an idea!!!
Thanks very much!
@@jamie.andrews just got. Done with mine. I will start doing mods this week. You have some great ideas!!!
Hello Jamie
Nice video I am in Florida as well' North Miami Bch.
Can u tell me the weight & is the lock good & if not
What kind of lock 🔐would work well? Thanku.
& what foundation did u use?
It is about 300 pound by itself. I build my foundation using 2x6 and 3x4 inch plywood.. I use a masterlock with a 2 inch shackle.
This is a great modification. I have the same shed in a 8x10 and I just bought all the wood and hardware to do this. Modeling it off of yours. Did you fasten it to the back wall at all? If so, how did you do it?

Here is that video. ua-cam.com/video/6rzWx_zzuH0/v-deo.html Good luck on the buildout!
How did you tie down the wooden base of the shed to the ground? I can see a few ties outside of it.
I used Duckbill earth anchors. You can buy them on Amazon.
Also what gauge wire is that? Any chance you could send me a link? This is exactly what I’m looking for.
In each corner are u using two 2 by 3s? And they are positioned flat right ?.
I used 2x3 boards for the studs and in the corners yes.
how did you attach the framing to the plastic panels ?
The framing is tied into the floor and the metal roof bracing.
Where did you get your tie braces?
At Lowes or Home Depot.
Really good.
Thanks!
Do you screw the wooden framing into the metal stud? Or just attach each framing to each other to provide the support?
It is attached to the metal framing to stiffen the structure.
Can I ask how did you attach it to the metal framing? Did you drill holes on the metal and then use screws to attach both wooden and metal framing? Didn’t see many screws on the wood. Thank you in advance!

EXCELLENT 👍
Awesome addition to the shed! How much did it cost you? Looking to get one and was wanting to look at videos of it at the moment
The shed was around 700 on sale. Then I had to build the platform and the inside framing. I have around 1k in it.
@@jamie.andrews very nice. I ended up buying the same one and am debating on getting the 3ft extension or not but definitely would like to try a the same or similar setup to yours.
I kinda wish I had bought the extension, but my backyard is small so I decided against it.
Did you screw any of the framing to shed?
No not directly besides what I showed in the video.
What size lag bolts did you use to bolt it down to the foundation?
@@mychautruong8724 It has been so long I don't recall. 2 inch should do.
Did you treat any of the wood? Did it rot any? I want to see if I need to treat my wood
Also, how did you screw in those small supports to the left shelf?
Does it leak at all?
No
Why do I see light coming through the corner at 2:25? Two panels shouldn't join each other in the corner. I thought they make one solid piece that bends around the corners so there's no potential for rain coming in.

Yeah the kits are useless only holds like 50lbs til they eventually fall or break.
Yea Figured that out pretty early. I don't want to hang anything from plastic walls.
