Gorgeous, Mesmerizing, Audio intriguing. Caught off guard by the Gumby effects. Exactly the dimensions I envisioned for my odd space. Thank you for sharing.
What a great looking shed. I wish you had included a cut list though. I'm looking for something just like this to house my compressor and small dust collection in. I want to build it of the back of my shop. Awesome looking shed! Thanks.
Thanks Becki. But the 2x6's aren't there for it to be overbuilt. They were planned to be there as a simple backing for the siding to be nailed to. You can see how it works at the 5:00 mark in the video.
Thank you , This is exactly what I'm looking for. You greatly inspired me by your build. Looking forward to building one .....Once again, great work.....Thank you
There are still plenty of tools I would love to add. Perhaps it's an addiction. I do it slowly, over years and years. If I'm saving money building things myself, then I can justify buying a new tool once in a while - or 'new to me' off Kijiji is a great way to pick up tools that still work! Cheers.
Now thats nice work BM....Good o'le American style !!! Not no half assed look at all. You want it done right ...you have to do it yourself sometimes. Trying to get some guys to do that kind of work is dammm near impossible without kicking em in the ass the whole way through the job.
I think this is the design Im looking for since its small. Just angle the frame of the roof and connect it flush to the frame of the shed instead of cutting in angled notches into the rafters of the actual roof.
That wasn't the actual elapsed time it took to build the shed from clearing (shrubs, bushes, etc.) the existing build site to the completed shed, was it? I thought he just really fast. Will it take me a longer priod of time? I like that the whole job took only about 8 minutes! It might take me 10 or 12 munutes altogether - bc he probably did one before this one to get the experience... Maybe I'll just sprnd the $1000 at The Home Depot instead.
Great video! A beginner's question - why do you screw the frame together rather than use nails? I thought that for structural strength you should use nails. Also, you then nail the slats/other dark finishings to the frame; I thought that for doing this, you should use screws. Thanks for any help.
I only have a finish nail gun and would need a framing nailer to drive 3" nails. So I screwed it. It's also recommended to galvinized or stainless nails to hold the siding on, not screws. I got these from the siding company, Maibec.
Hi love the shed, and thank you for sharing the design. I'm about to start a bicycle shed usingbthe same design. Can i ask what you used as paint? Also what is that colour? Finally what us that tool you used at 1:54 to measure the notches before cutting? Thanks in advance
The only plan I had was the sketch you saw in the video. Pause it there if you want to take a close look. Siding is from Maibec and came already finished. Black 399 is what I used. www.maibec.com/en/wood/colours The Kreg Multi-Mark. Awesome tool eh??!!
@@billymacmakes cheers. I've completed the bike shed using your design as a template. Even modified the roof slightly to allow for hydraulic arms... easy on the kids who hopefully will put away their bikes. Would've loved to share pics
Thanks for the video, I got some good ideas.. and not to be critical, but around here that roof is too flat for 3-tab shingles. It would leak. Also, the floor would rot out due to no moving airflow. Should be a ventilated space. Looks great though!
Fair thoughts Mark, but it's under the overhang of the garage's roof, so it really didn't need to be perfectly water tight. Nothing but garbage cans in there. And the floor is off the ground sitting on the pressure treated runners, so the air (and any rain water) can flow underneath. Thanks for watching!
That is correct. Its not subject to much wear. It's under the roof overhang from the garage wall behind it. There isn't much settling almost 4 years later.
Great construction! One question: Did you use the exterior siding also on the sides that are protected by the house wall? I want to install it in a place where only the front will be visible and that will save material & cost. Or what did you use to protect those sides? Thanks!
I did not use any siding on the back portion, next to the house. You can see the bricks from the inside. So it is basically a three-sided shed. Good luck with your build!
Nope. And it hasn't been a problem for nearly 4 years. Not too surprising either - Bushes require sunlight to produce their energy through photosynthesis and being beneath a shed, that's not going to happen. If it used whatever energy it had stored in its roots to send up a sucker, attempting to find light, it wasn't going to make it through those 2" thick patio stones.
The shed is under the garage roof's overhang, so it didn't require any flashing (which is what you'd need if it wasn't so protected). It's impossible for water to sneak in there.
Great build looks nice and strong, I gather this build is over couple of years old now, how has the shed stood up to the weather ect, also is your shed vulnerable to thieves,looks like you are on open street, I am i England,it would be robbed instantly.👍
It's a lap siding - it came milled and stained from the factory: Maibec. In my other storage shed video, I show how you can achieve almost the same look by making your own plywood siding for about 5% of the cost!!! Check it out. Huge savings.
Great video Billy. I'm interested to know how big this is as I'm looking to build a similar shed. Need to store bikes uplift on hangers but only have limited space
The siding was expensive, as I ordered it pre-stained, from a great siding company. Over $1000. But in my smaller shed video, I show how I made my own siding with 1/2 plywood and stained it myself - hardly cost fraction!! Check it out.
How do you stop any rain water running down the brick wall and through the gap between the wall and the roof. Is there any sealent there, or don't you have a problem with water getting in? By the way, bloody great video, I am going to have a go at building one myself. 👍
My friend above is correct - there is an 18" overhanging soffit on the garage just above the shed, so there has never been ANY water to get in. Otherwise you're right, I would have had to address attaching the roof to the wall in a watertight way. Thanks for watching! Good luck on your build.
@@billymacmakes You must not have storms like we do in Texas. Had one come through from due East, which is unusual. The blowing rain line was 6ft high on the sliding glass door. That door opened out on to the porch, and is 13ft back from the 3ft overhangs on the house.. Looking out an adjacent side window, the rain was going by at almost a 90 deg angle. No leaks anywhere, thank GOD.. Also thankful, that type of storm happens only occasionally.
Yes I did rip it. I didn't show it, but you can see at 3:50 where I put the ripped board down to nail on the full 2x4 for that equal reveal from both sides. (I used the offcut to support it while I nailed it)
@@billymacmakes yup I studied that part but couldn't see the one you had down on the table 100%. Thanks for the reply and the vids. Aspiring woodcrafter here . Hah!
Question? When you attached the roof, what did you do to prevent rain water seeping down the back (where the roof meets the wall) and getting inside the box? But lovely build! I'm gonna mirror this
I didn't have to worry about this, as my shed is under a significant overhang from the roof at the top of the wall it's attached to. If you don't have this situation, you'd need some metal flashing at the roof-wall seem to have the water run over your shingles.
I was thinking that too. There is an alternative to metal flashing depending on what you're building - www.toolstation.com/bostik-flashband/p79418 - seems cheaper and easier.
You don’t have to use any flashing for the shingles to meet up to the brick wall?? I’m wanting to build this EXACT design except I am building it either 12’x12’ or 10’x10’. If you can give any pointers it would be so helpful thank you so very very much!!
Hey Danny. I didn't need to flash where the roof met the wall as it's under a significant overhanging soffit from my garage. No chance of water entering there. Remember, this was not a stand alone shed - it's securely attached to a brick wall, so the construction technique would differ from something free-standing. Good luck with your build!
I didn't seal it as it's right under the garage roof overhang. Water cannot get behind it. Flashing would have been required had this not been the case.
The Wildlander Their are many different types and brands of concrete anchors, don’t know exactly what was used in the video. One of the more well known brands is Tapcon. Essentially a pack of screws made for concrete that comes with a bit in the packaging. www.homedepot.com/p/Tapcon-1-4-in-x-1-1-4-in-Hex-Washer-Head-Concrete-Anchors-75-Pack-24315/100086102
Fantastic job brother and nice upper body strength on that pull up lol That's all you gave us is one pull up? come on you could have done better that. Lol
I'm a total novice, so sorry if this is a dumb question. Why did you notch the corner studs rather than just butting the horizontal pieces against it and fixing with nails/screws?
Totally agree. It's a strength issue. Screws often don't have great "shear strength." So this helps put some weight on the other board and transfers it down to the ground.
Hi please can you tell me at 1 min 34 secs how you use the saw to remove the wood for the joint. Is there a depth Stõp on the chop saw or do you just eyeball it. Cheers dave Portsmouth
Yes, there is a depth stop on the saw. Plus, I put a spacer in behind (a ripped 2x4) to move the pieces forward so the saw would be cutting flat across the bottom of the section to be removed.
I used a few Tapcons into the brick. Seems to be holding fine. The quality of the brick really determines the holding strength of the screw and these bricks are in good shape! If I notice any 'play' developing, I'll secure it another way.
Now THAT was freaking awesomely done with mastery skills!!! EXTREMELY WELL DONE SIR!!!
Appreciate the support!
Maybe I am weird, but there is something so relaxing about watching a skilled person build something in high speed! You did am AWESOME job!
Thanks for the kind words!
It was impressive
Same! Fun watch! (bonus: random pull up)
After enjoying the informative video and applying it to YOUR OWN duplication of his shed, how did your project come out?
Great skills. I can't even put my daughters Barbie doll house together.
So Nice to see this!!!
My youngest daughter Helped me build furniture. I called her " the Human Clamp."
Thanks for this Video !!
Love it!
Very inspiring! The joinery shown around 2:26 and the design of the door are super cool.
Thanks so much!
Gorgeous, Mesmerizing, Audio intriguing. Caught off guard by the Gumby effects. Exactly the dimensions I envisioned for my odd space. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the inspiration...especially notching wood with miter saw.
Liked how you made use of the space to build the storage shed with skills of another level
Wow, I never thought to do the shingles before I attacked the roof. lol. Great idea.
Thanks!! Seemed safer than climbing a ladder with tools and lumber.
It turned out really nice. I like how you built a lot of it in the shop and then assembled it later.
Thanks!
I love that you took the opportunity to show us how buff you are in the guise of testing the sheds strength. Nice work on the shed btw.
What a great looking shed. I wish you had included a cut list though. I'm looking for something just like this to house my compressor and small dust collection in. I want to build it of the back of my shop. Awesome looking shed! Thanks.
I did include my low-tech plans in the video....
Great video just wish we could’ve seen the finished product more!
Not often you see the roof being done before it goes up! I'm going to give this a go, thanks!
Efficiency!
Nice shed. I gotta say, I tend to over build, but wow, 2x6's for a tiny shed.
Thanks Becki. But the 2x6's aren't there for it to be overbuilt. They were planned to be there as a simple backing for the siding to be nailed to. You can see how it works at the 5:00 mark in the video.
I hope you had as much fun building this as I did watching you build it. Wonderful sound effects too!
I believe I did! Thanks for watching.
l really like the way you did the siding
Thanks. A friend has this on his cottage and it looks great, so I figured it would work here.
Nice to see someone who still knows how to swing a hammer.
Thank you , This is exactly what I'm looking for. You greatly inspired me by your build. Looking forward to building one .....Once again, great work.....Thank you
Glad you liked it! Good luck on your build!
Really well done, bro. Nice video.
Thanks for the visit
Not bad for an exterior closet.
🤣🤣
Nicely done Billy Mac, great to have all the tools you have to make a shed.
There are still plenty of tools I would love to add. Perhaps it's an addiction. I do it slowly, over years and years. If I'm saving money building things myself, then I can justify buying a new tool once in a while - or 'new to me' off Kijiji is a great way to pick up tools that still work! Cheers.
Excellent time-lapsed video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Muy bueno tu trabajo JOSE desde ARGENTINA 😀😀😀
Very nice!
Man you work super fast...that's beautiful..thanks for the idea.
Wonderful job!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Now thats nice work BM....Good o'le American style !!! Not no half assed look at all. You want it done right ...you have to do it yourself sometimes.
Trying to get some guys to do that kind of work is dammm near impossible without kicking em in the ass the whole way through the job.
Nice build. Love the cartoon sounds the tools make! :-)
quality shed!!
first time i understood how to cut the pitch for the roof
Glad you enjoyed!
I know good professional quality when I see it. Great video
Thanks Stephan. Appreciate the support.
the quality of u work is unbelievable.new subs here.
Thanks!
A very nice shed, i've got inspired by you and made my own version of it. Thanks a lot!
Glad I could help!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Great video, very entertaining and very informative. Plus I got some tool ideas! win-win! :)
Awesome job man!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome. Total pro, too. Thanks for the idea
Glad you liked it!
I think this is the design Im looking for since its small. Just angle the frame of the roof and connect it flush to the frame of the shed instead of cutting in angled notches into the rafters of the actual roof.
Simply superb but I just don't get all this beautiful work for such a small storage space.
Pride.
Definitely some pride (thanks James), and to have it look nice as the neighbours can see it. I didn't want to build an eyesore.
It would be great to have the unedited video for some of us that don’t have the know how. Otherwise, excellent work!
That wasn't the actual elapsed time it took to build the shed from clearing (shrubs, bushes, etc.) the existing build site to the completed shed, was it? I thought he just really fast. Will it take me a longer priod of time? I like that the whole job took only about 8 minutes!
It might take me 10 or 12 munutes altogether - bc he probably did one before this one to get the experience...
Maybe I'll just sprnd the $1000 at The Home Depot instead.
I love this video. A master at work.
Wow, thanks!
I wish every DIY vid was like this. The fast forward effect is perfect. The f.f. sounds are funny. Very informative. Great vid!
Thanks for the support! New video coming soon.
Nice work Birry!
Thanks Quattro!
Great shed, nice video. I don't have the tools to do this, I might by the prefab version. But thanks for the inspiration !
Thanks for watching!
Totally awesome video
I love this shed
Thanks Paul :)
Absolutely beautiful...Bravo.
Thanks!!
Really nice job. Love it.
Thanks!
Beautiful job you got a lot of expensive tools ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Acquired over years and years, and definitely not always brand new! Thanks for watching!
Very impressive, great job.
Thanks!
how difficult will this be for someone with basic idea but have never built one because it is so nice the way you built it and I need to do it too.
I think this would be very doable for a beginner. Careful measurements and cuts, and following a plan that you lay out will really help! Good luck.
Thank you :) I'm going to try and make one, it's perfect.
Thanks!
What's the finish on the wood? It's so beautiful I love the black
It's prestained siding from Maibec (a Canadian company) and it's simply their 'black' colour.
Great job!!
Thanks David.

Great build, so the foundation is sand then pebbles and lastly tiles? then a wooden frame?
That is correct. Its not subject to much wear. It's under the roof overhang from the garage wall behind it. There isn't much settling almost 4 years later.
Nice work. What is over the stone? I saw it put down but then when you installed the floor frame I don't see the gravel anymore.
They are 24" paver stones.
great work excellent end product cannot fault your skills.
did you dig the roots out from the bushes /trees before you laid the base?
Super
Great construction! One question: Did you use the exterior siding also on the sides that are protected by the house wall? I want to install it in a place where only the front will be visible and that will save material & cost. Or what did you use to protect those sides? Thanks!

🤣🤣🤣
Beauty.
Nice little shed, can you explain the base, gravel then base appears!, was that pavers or a concrete slab?
It was three 24" square pavers on a base of gravel then compacted sand.
thanks
Hi I was wondering what the dimensions of the roof on the please Thank you for your help
The overhangs are minimal, as it's also under the much larger garage roof overhang. So the roof is just slightly larger than width and depth
Was that like a Ryobi chainsaw on a stick at the beginning?
Yup! A pole saw for pruning up high.
soooooo your not going to remove the roots of the bushes or treat them then to prevent regrowth............ ?
Nope. And it hasn't been a problem for nearly 4 years. Not too surprising either - Bushes require sunlight to produce their energy through photosynthesis and being beneath a shed, that's not going to happen. If it used whatever energy it had stored in its roots to send up a sucker, attempting to find light, it wasn't going to make it through those 2" thick patio stones.
How did you tie roof into brick so rain water doesnt just drip down in?
The shed is under the garage roof's overhang, so it didn't require any flashing (which is what you'd need if it wasn't so protected). It's impossible for water to sneak in there.
Do you guys not use flashing to seal the joint between the roof and the wall
It's under a huge overhanging soffit - so no. haven't had a leak.
Where the roof meets the brick wall, how do you prevent water from leaking inside?
Another roof we can't see? Maybe...
House roof overhang does the job.
Yup, overhanging roof up above it. No water getting in almost 2 and a half years later!
Great build looks nice and strong, I gather this build is over couple of years old now, how has the shed stood up to the weather ect, also is your shed vulnerable to thieves,looks like you are on open street, I am i England,it would be robbed instantly.👍
Ha! Nobody has stolen my garbage cans yet! And yes, after years, it looks just like it did when I finished the video.
@@billymacmakes thank you for replying, glad everything is well,and your tin cans are safe.👍👍
Is that black stain? Loving how it turned out! Great work!
It is a black stain. This siding and trim came pre-stained from the company.
What is the joint on that siding that you used called?
It's a lap siding - it came milled and stained from the factory: Maibec. In my other storage shed video, I show how you can achieve almost the same look by making your own plywood siding for about 5% of the cost!!! Check it out. Huge savings.
Great video Billy. I'm interested to know how big this is as I'm looking to build a similar shed. Need to store bikes uplift on hangers but only have limited space
24" deep by 72" wide. I have my dimensional sketch at 2:39 in the video....
how much did materials come out to? do you remember?
The siding was expensive, as I ordered it pre-stained, from a great siding company. Over $1000. But in my smaller shed video, I show how I made my own siding with 1/2 plywood and stained it myself - hardly cost fraction!! Check it out.

There's always a Debbie Downer in the crowd. There is the main roof overhang above the roof of the shed...IS THERE NOT.

That was awesome .
What did you use for the corner trims . Did you rip the other 2x4 for a perfect look on both sides ? Or did I miss something
Yes I did rip it. I didn't show it, but you can see at 3:50 where I put the ripped board down to nail on the full 2x4 for that equal reveal from both sides. (I used the offcut to support it while I nailed it)
@@billymacmakes yup I studied that part but couldn't see the one you had down on the table 100%. Thanks for the reply and the vids. Aspiring woodcrafter here . Hah!
How did it hold up 2 years later?
It still looks like new! I'm very happy. It's very protected in its location under the roof overhang, so minimal exposure to both sun and rain.
Question?
When you attached the roof, what did you do to prevent rain water seeping down the back (where the roof meets the wall) and getting inside the box?
But lovely build! I'm gonna mirror this
I didn't have to worry about this, as my shed is under a significant overhang from the roof at the top of the wall it's attached to. If you don't have this situation, you'd need some metal flashing at the roof-wall seem to have the water run over your shingles.

How do you keep any moisture from coming in from the the top of the roof?
It is under the house soffit, so there's no chance of water sneaking in where it attaches to the wall.
You don’t have to use any flashing for the shingles to meet up to the brick wall?? I’m wanting to build this EXACT design except I am building it either 12’x12’ or 10’x10’. If you can give any pointers it would be so helpful thank you so very very much!!

Did the shrubs grow back ? I noticed the rootball was still underground... sometimes they sprout back
Nope.
Show us the inside and what can be stored there
I wish I could - I don't believe you're allowed to add an image to a comment.
which painting did you use?
It came pre-stained from Maibec (the siding company). Can't recall the colour though! Sorry.
What are the pieces of wood used to make the sides called? Are they sold that way?
It's siding I ordered from this company.... www.maibec.com/en
very nice vid. amazing skill u have. One thing i want to ask u ..is that wall u building shed urs or neighbours?
Yes, it's my wall. The outside of the garage.
Nice.
I didn't see any flashing to prevent water getting down the back side of that shed... Is it under an overhang?
Yes, a large overhang that is just above the roof. No chance of water getting behind. Otherwise flashing would have been a must!
Why have you put the doors inside out?
I guess I liked them that way! 😝
Billy Mac Makes ....lol ....fair enough
Good job! No problems with the HOA (Homeoweners Association also known as Gestapo)?
Shhh, not so far...
How did you seal the exterior wall where it meets your roof line?
I didn't seal it as it's right under the garage roof overhang. Water cannot get behind it. Flashing would have been required had this not been the case.
im very new to all this so forgive my ignorance, but what did you use to anchor the shed to the brick wall
The Wildlander Their are many different types and brands of concrete anchors, don’t know exactly what was used in the video. One of the more well known brands is Tapcon. Essentially a pack of screws made for concrete that comes with a bit in the packaging.
www.homedepot.com/p/Tapcon-1-4-in-x-1-1-4-in-Hex-Washer-Head-Concrete-Anchors-75-Pack-24315/100086102
Yup, that's what I used.
Outdoors? I'd use treated wood throughout.
what was that first tool you were using when you were cutting down the shrubs?
Reciprocating saw.
That is correct. Thanks Logos for stepping up to answer that for me!
Fantastic job brother and nice upper body strength on that pull up lol That's all you gave us is one pull up? come on you could have done better that. Lol
I'm a total novice, so sorry if this is a dumb question. Why did you notch the corner studs rather than just butting the horizontal pieces against it and fixing with nails/screws?
It's a lot stronger that way other than just relying on the strength of the nails/screws alone. A much better job.
Totally agree. It's a strength issue. Screws often don't have great "shear strength." So this helps put some weight on the other board and transfers it down to the ground.

The outside wall in California is masonry, cannot attach like that, I have to find the stud to do that. How did you fix the lumber to the bricks?
I used a few Tapcons into the brick. Seems to be holding fine. The quality of the brick really determines the holding strength of the screw and these bricks are in good shape! If I notice any 'play' developing, I'll secure it another way.
