@@javybavyHomey:Youz a trip!!! 😜🤪😜🤪😜! Love it, when people can have a great sense of humor. You remind me of somebody else, that's like you:ME!!! Have a great weekend!
We are looking at building a similar size shed come spring and this helps give me not only design ideas but also a few building techniques that I can use. Thank you.
Have watched this several times and just figured out that you are left handed. Interesting to watch another left hander work with a left hand assembly mindset and approach. I’m building a 10x12 shed right now and ready to start the roof. Good video. Thanks
Gonna use a few of the techniques I found in this video. For my needs I’m going to incorporate a roll up door, work/gardening bench and windows. Solar panels for power in the shed in the winter evenings when the sun only stays around part-time! 😁 Thx for sharing! 👍
Excellent craftmanship, well thought out . I built one 16 X 12 .Mine was for more of a work shop. Still nice size, BUT ,after the tables were built and tools brought in , wished I'd built it alot larger. Even 16 X 24 .No room to store 48" lawn mower .
I completely understand. I think I will always want a bigger shed or workshop :) We built the biggest shed we could build without needing to mess with permits. It's also the biggest shed we could put in the area we had available. If we run out of room we'll sell some stuff. LOL
I built the same size with also 8/12 pitch. I added a window beside the offset double doors. My neighbors that bought the pre built sheds already wish they had more loft space. Great videos!
Great video, my only concern is rot and wind. I was planning to build mine on a concrete pad to get it off the ground. The second thing is storms, where I live high winds have lifted unsecured sheds like yours and deposited them on the street.
And just think:If you built one of these babies, with a bit of indoor work, you could have a rental place for someone to live in. That's more money in your pocket!
This was awesome. Thanks for filming and sharing. One question. I noticed you didn’t use a ridge beam for the rafters, nor did you use a horizontal piece that completes a truss. Is this a common practice in shed building? What is this roofing style called? I like how simple it is and allows you to to build a second level of storage. Interested in doing the same but wondering how strong it is? I see you used some sort of hurricane ties or something similar? Any information is appreciated!!
This roof construction style is common where we live and plenty strong enough even with the snow load we get here. I don't know if if it has a specific name. Yes I used the Hurricane Ties, one on each rafter to the double top plate of the wall. Thanks for stopping by and I wish you the best with your project. Here is a link to the Hurricane Ties I used. 16-Gauge Hurricane Ties - amzn.to/3YeoQ27
Sorry we don't have a material list or drawings. We just designed the shed as we built it without plans. There is some info on the build in the video description that may help you.
I am definitely not the best person to do a how to video on that subject. There are many good videos out there on how to properly build the roof trusses. I used a speed square to draw the 8 - 12 pitch lines on the rafters and I also used an online roof truss calculator to help with the remainder of the measurements. I just googled "roof truss calculator" and used one of the free calculators that came up. After some trial and error and some fiddling around we finally came up with what you see in the video.
i love this but have questions about the foundation why did you dig up ground and just cover it back up and if you wanted windows do you make them after the build? how do you add electricity for lighting
I dug a trench to fill with gravel under each skid. This will help wick away water from the foundation skids. You can install windows at any time but the best time is while you are building the shed. There are many options for installing electricity and lighting. I'm using an off grid solar power system for my build. You can see my "Off Grid Workshop Build" videos in the playlist link below. I have some videos on solar power and off grid lighting in this playlist. ua-cam.com/play/PLC_QVs9y_q3sAMyeyEhlJyCNSbfrvDSaq.html
7:13 What did you put to join the top and bottom outside shell? (blue strip) 9:25 did you repeat a DIY truss on the outside of the wall with same wood also? - Did you just paint the fascia or did you do aluminum? The corner of the building. What type and size of trim board did you use out here? 8:33 did you do a roof vent the whole length or just 4ft in the center? Perfect video, just needs a little more parts list.
Thank you! Sorry but I don’t have a materials list. There are some build details listed in the video description. Maybe those will help you out a little bit.
Sorry but I don't have a materials list, we just planned and purchased materials as we built the shed. We built it out in three different phases, floor, walls and roof. I wish you the best with your project!
Nice, especially with help, last year we did a deck,veranda , this year 16x16 2 storey with 4 16 x 12 extension , foot print will be ➕ , built many cabins in the far at edge of boreal forest N.w.Ont.
This is amazing. So helpful to see every step. And so entertaining the way you did the time lapse with all the sounds sped up and everything included. Love it!
Ryan Bowling - You're right, we are not professionals. We are DIYers and we built it ourselves. We weren't interested in paying more than twice the price for a shed that was slapped together in a half a day. It takes time to build it right.
I have a question will your shed foundation hold up for a long time without the concrete or do you need to even pour concrete for the way you're doing it?
We used treated lumber for the shed floor / foundation and it's on a bed of gravel for good drainage. We also have good venting under the shed floor to provide air flow under the shed. In addition to all of that, we live in a "high desert" environment so we don't have a lot of moisture where we live. Moisture is what rots wood. We believe this floor will last many many years without an issue of rot. All these factors will determine if a concrete floor is better for your situation.
Yes, where we live if the shed is 200 sqft or less and no electrical ran to it no permits are required. Concrete pad or not the permit rule is the same where we live.
We saved between 50% and 60% of what it would have cost to buy a prebuilt or have one built. IMO ours is built better than most prebuilt sheds or shed kits. We did many things that would cost extra if buying a prebuilt such as 16" spacing on the wall studs. 2x6 treated floor joists 16" on center and 2x6 roof trusses 24" on center. We also made an 8/12 roof pitch for a taller roof allowing more loft storage. Most of these improvements are hard to find in a prebuilt shed. You can get these improvements in a custom built shed but it's going to increase the cost significantly.
Thanks Josh! Oh yes we have a lot of wasps here. I completely agree with you on the open soffits. That is one of my next projects before spring arrives. I'm going to use metal window screen to fabricate some soffit vents on this shed.
The fact that y'all built this in 10 minutes is astounding, well done
Thanks
10 minutes and 17 seconds
I can do it in 9 minutes 😮
do not forget the celestial music at the end too

Thank you and I wish you the best with your shed build! Us lefties are in our right mind LOL 😁
SHE IS GREAT HELPER...MAKES A JOB GO SMOOTH WHEN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT HELPER..AND YOU GOT ONE...
I agree!
Definitely using that rafter jig on my build. That was awesome.
I wish you the best with your build!
I love to see the wife as the best helper. Reminds me of my wife 🤣. Good job 👍
Yes, thank you
Amazing build and great teamwork. I wish my wife was that helpful when I'm struggling out in the backyard building stuff all by myself. LOL.
Thank you 😊
A woman who participates is priceless, good job you two
Thank you
Beautiful Work! I love it! Im waiting for my back to heal, and I plan to build one this year myself!
Great Work!
Thanks, I appreciate it! I wish you the best with your project!
Being able to watch someone’s skill is so helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Now, that is a high quality shed. Puts some windows in it, insulate it, it’s a small house!
Thanks Robert, it is definitely solid.
I do prefabrication for barns, studios, and garages.. this is some quality work brother!
Thank you, we really appreciate that!
Thanks, for the clear information of the construction
Glad it was helpful!
Great job. Really looks good and will last for decades to come!
Appreciate that!
That was the inspiration I was looking for. TKS
Using gravel for footers..first time I’ve seen this done. Nice build and looks great 👍 Thanks for sharing !
Thanks 👍
Super work. My class is building one. If we do another - we will use your jig nailed to the floor!!!
Excellent! I wish you the best with the project.
My wife is NOT lazy but will not help with these types of things. It does suck but I'm used to it. Great couple knocking it out, congrats.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice shed,I never put my hand so close to the saw blade but that's just me

Great video, my only concern is rot and wind. I was planning to build mine on a concrete pad to get it off the ground. The second thing is storms, where I live high winds have lifted unsecured sheds like yours and deposited them on the street.
Good points, you definitely should build to suit your local weather conditions. Maybe some hurricane straps for the high winds.
Very smart work!!

Absolutely awesome build! The rafters and loft are really cool
Thanks Sean, we appreciate that!
Nice job I like it
This is one of the best videos I've seen on building a shed. Did you work from some plans that you can share by any chance?
Thank you! We just designed it as we built it so we didn't use any plans.

Excellent. Wish I knew how much it cost to build it. Today Sept2022 lumber they say is down 65% so I better get on mine
Pricing info is in the video description.

No, sorry. We just designed it as we built it.
Superb build, and well thought out video.. 🙌🙌🙌 cheers Rob (another shed enthusiast 😁💪)

Is the only way you secured the walls to the floor your nail gun? No through bolts?
Yes, I used nails only on this build.

We believe this floor will last many many years without an issue of rot. All these factors will determine if a concrete floor is better for your situation.
Great question and response!
you can use solid 4" blocks too, It will allow ventilation underneath. they are pretty stable and wont move.
@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 So, your shed is not tied down or secured to any footing, just sitting on gravel?
Since there is no concrete pad, did you do this without getting permits?
Yes, where we live if the shed is 200 sqft or less and no electrical ran to it no permits are required. Concrete pad or not the permit rule is the same where we live.
Good video 🙏

Better cap that soffit. Birds and wasps will have a field day. Nice shed!
You're right, working on that project at the moment. Thanks!
Nice. Job
Thank you! Cheers!
How long will those osb sidings last? Here im The Netherlands if never seen is been done this way but it seems normal in the US
Good question but I don't know the answer. Mine still look like they were installed today. I'm thinking they will last a long time where I live.
Where did you get your plans for this? Cut list? material list?
I don’t have plans. We designed it as we built it. I’ve listed some basic design and build info in the video description.
Only thing i care about is the wife out there with you 💪🏾. That’s love.

would you buy that central pneumatic nailer again?
Yes I would. I have had no problems with it through the entire project. It's a bit heavy but it works and the price was right.
