Thanks for checking this video out everyone... Links to the shed I bought are in the description if your wanting more details!!
How long does it take to build?
@@garyvaldez6181 Well for me it took longer cause I was filming and had to do a bunch of site prep. It was really simple and very straightforward. I would still plan on a solid 4 hours, however it really depends on how proficient you are at following plans.
I’ve never seen anyone assembling something, and managed to keep his sense of humor. I loved watched your video. Thank you!
Ya gotta laugh at the absurdity of assembly instructions sometimes!!! Otherwise you’ll go bonkers!! Thanks for the comment!!
I am 59 years old, thought I would have to bribe my son's to help put this shed up, but after watching your video, I now know exactly what I have to do, and I can do it all my self ! Very good video, the ending with the twin you yapping, was funny. I am inspired, I bought 2 of these Suncast sheds from canadian tire last week, I have the knowledge and confidence to go outside and start putting them together.
OUTSANDING!!!!!! Thanks so much for the feedback and I'm so thrilled you got what you were looking for from the video!! This just made my whole week!!
The internet needs more people like Lou! Mucho thanks for the video!
LOL... you're too kind my friend... thanks
I don't remember when I have enjoyed a DIY video as much as this one, thank you for sharing, great job!
Thanks so much man... appreciate that!!
Loved the video. The shed is that easy to put together. Just a tip from snowy Michigan: Put some 1or 2 inch blocks under the floor. Then set the shed on top. If you get snow, and the shed isn’t raised up, your doors won’t have clearance. Once raised, you’ll be able to get the snow shovels out.
Good tip for those reading this who live in snowy weather places... however... not much snowfall here in Florida, hahah!!
Just what I needed. Just received mine today. Thanks to your wonderful vid, I can confidently do this by myself.
That's AWESOME... I love hearing stuff like this... thanks so much!!
Thanks man!
Happy to help!!
Hands down my favorite UA-cam Maker!!! Another great video!!
You're the best!
I’m a fan now!!! Hysterical and good tips for sure… 😂😂😂👍
Thanks so much!! Welcome to my world, glad to have you!
You're the man Big Lou! Great video
Thanks man!! Appreciate it!
Big Lou!!!!! What’s up brother??!!
I see your a pretty good Handyman🤙🏼💪🏼
Thanks for the review and assembly tips. Because of this, I had to try it out on my own and so, I bought one!!!!🤙🏼
Thanks for making this! Great video =)
Thank you for the information on how to put this together. I was looking for a tool shed, but was not sure as to what to purchase. After watching your (very funny) video, I clicked on your link and purchase the shed online. My wife and I will go to a nearby Home Depot to pick it up in a couple of hours. Thanks, again, man!
So thrilled you found it useful and entertaining as well!!! Thanks for sharing the feedback!! 👍😁😃
Thanks for the video it was great!
Thanks for the support!!
HI Lou I'm a fan of your videos keep them coming. Hadn't seen anything lately from you I was getting worried the way the world is at the moment. Stay safe steve australia.
Thanks so much man... really appreciate the concern, all is well except for the Florida summer keeping me out of the shop. Now that we're in to fall and the temp is coming down you should be seeing more frequent posts!!
BEST TUTORIAL!!! THANK YOU ❤️👌🏽
You're so welcome!
Great video! The end was hilarious lol!
HAHAHA... thanks so much!! I appreciate it!!
Very inspiring! Thanks for the great content!
I appreciate that, thanks for the feedback!!!
😆 🤣 excellent
Thanks, good video.
Great video...
Thanks so much!!
Bought two of these and assembled them before I saw your video. Would’ve been nice to reverse the order of events. 😂
LOL... yeah... it happens that way sometimes doesn't it... thanks for the comment!
Very nice video
Bro cool as hell
thank ya thank ya
The place tou put it os going to cause a water drainage problem over time. The roof shed is taller than the window. If the window is open you can get water in your house too. I'd suggest finding a different location.
Thanks so much for the feedback... but it's been there through more than a few massive storms and no issue with drainage. Also, I never open that window (or any windows really, it lets the AC out!!). The overhang from the eaves is more than enough protection from direct rain!
Lol love it
Thanks... that's a FANTASTIC username you've got!!
Awesome
Thanks!!
Awesome video it definitely will help me as I just purchased mine today waiting for it to get shipped! I had a question, I’m trying to see if I can store a bike or 2 tops inside this shed. Do you think it’s possible to hang a vertical bike rack? Think it’s sturdy enough?
First... thanks so much for the comment and feedback, I appreciate it... Second... I honestly have no idea... I have not owned a bike in over 30 years LOL. I think it would depend in how the rack is mounted to be honest. If it was designed to hang on the wall, then maybe, cause there are places to mount shelving brackets, anything other than that would need more expertise with mounting bikes than I have. Wish I could be more help!
hahaha, you are so funny. Ok, so I need a shed.
I'm very pleased with this one!!
Hey buddy, another great video! Maybe I missed it but what is your other character's name? Love the interactions you are able to capture by using that technique. Another home run Lou!
Thanks my man!! And no, you have not missed it... he has not been named on the channel.. yet... that will be coming in a video in the next few weeks.
Pretty cool video man, This inspires me to build a few. I also subscribed to the channel man.
AWESOME!!!! Thanks so Much!!!
Big Lou that was awesome !!!! Now let me try it. I would have not added the gravel had I not seen your vid. Hows your plumbing skills?
Uhhhhh.... hot water is on the left!! That’s about it!
I'm trying to figure out what they look like inside and how much stuff I can put in them. Not many videos show the inside so that I can get a visual perspective to help me decide. Which shed is this?
I got it at Home Depot, the link to it is in the video description. The web site has the full interior dimensions and I used that to determine if it would be the right size! Hope that helps.
Man I wish I knew the dimensions of that thing in the box trying to see if it can fit in the trunk of my BMW
the dimensions of it in the box should be on Home Depot's web site under the shipping details.
Aren't you worried that the Florida Thunderstorms will blow the shed over?? I have thought about getting one for my house but I am wondering how to anchor it to keep it from flying away.
Not in this case... the place where I have it is pretty sheltered from the high winds we get with big storms... I've had trash cans and things of that nature along this same side of the house and never had an issue with them flying away!! That being said, this unit has holes in the back and bottom for bolting it to an existing building or a secure base. The instruction book has a whole section on building a base for it.
Do you think a normal size push mower would fit inside this shed? We just bought it (the shed) and have not assembled it yet, I’m nervous it may not fit length wise. Your thoughts?
Most push mowers have the ability to have the handles fold up for storage... if that's the case with yours you should be fine... it's got more room inside than images appear.
Thanks for sharing. How long did it take to assemble?
Well to be fair I was filming while putting it together so it was not a good example of how long it takes... but if I wasn't filming I'd say it would probly take 2 hours or so depending on how proficient you are with following assembly instructions, and puzzles. It was really pretty simple, with the most difficult thing being getting the doors to line up. I hope that helps!!
I got that shed too. I spent, literally, all day on it and it's not complete. Why? Because nothing was aligned. The side was bowed so i couldn't fit the left side in correctly. The bottom latch doesn't go through the hole provided and the right side hinges don't wrap around the designated area so the screws don't go all the way in. What a freaking nightmare! And I bought 3 of those and don't even want to open the other boxes.
Oh nooooo… that’s horrible!!! Sadly every batch of injection molded material is gonna have a few bad apples, but they should be caught by the Quality Assurance folks before they leave the factory. I’m sure the other ones you have are fine, but then again I have been accused of being overly optimistic at times!! That sucks, I’m really sorry that happened to you!!
@@BigLousWorkshop Thanks for your empathy Lou. I'm going back outside today to try to get a roof on. I'm no stranger to assembly either, but really don't like these illustrated instructions. They are suppose to send me new hinges, but I can't envision what good that will do.
I was hoping you would have shown how to use those 'hooky thingies'.
I just need to get this over with and get DANCING!!
Have fun and thanks for the video!
Blessings
Big Lou, just a question about the base. Is it really necessary? Was looking at the installation guide online and it says either wood or concrete base. Is that really needed? Thanks!
Thanks for the question… I can only speak for my particular situation and because I was putting it on a foundation that was of different elevations I wanted to build it up so that it was completely flat which is why I did the base the way that I did. The bottom of this shed is plastic so it’s only going to be as strong as whatever foundation you’re putting it on if the ground where you’re putting it is solid and firm then go for it. Other people have risk of very High winds and need a solid foundation to secure the shed to so that it doesn’t get blown away in a tornado or hurricane … I hope that helps!!
I don't see that you anchored it. How will you prevent it from blowing away. It is pretty light. I have 3 I would like to put outside but I am c9ncerned about how to anchor them
the location I've put mine is pretty well protected from big storms and I've got it loaded down with really heavy stuff so I'm not really concerned about it blowing away. However... there are places in the floor and in the back wall for mounting anchors to.
Hi Lou, it is good to see your video. What was that strange tool you were using? It was the first tool that you had in your hand. Was it a large size Allen wrench?
Hey, thanks so much for the comment… it was probly the special tool that came with the unit specifically for those bolts.
Can I add shelfs to this vertical storage?
Oh totally... there are pre-drilled holes in the back for bolts specifically for that purpose!! But also there's plenty of room inside to build a free standing unit, which is what I'm intending to do at some point!!
Hey brother what app do you use for video editing
I use Adobe Premier Pro ... it's expensive but as a film school grad I'm a bit of an Editing snob so for me it's money well spent!! But there are lots of other free editing suites out there. Jay Bates put out a video a while back on his Vlog channel talking about making the switch from Premier to a free one but I don't remember which one he mentioned.
does it water proof?
It will get a little bit of water around the door if there's a REALLY bad storm, but for the most part yeah, everything inside stays pretty dry!!
Being that it's plastic, anyone can cut into it and take your stuff.
The same can be said for wood a shed!! This style of storage is not really utilized for its security features but more so I don't have rakes and shovel's laying around the yard out in the elements. If security is an important feature to you then there are tons of other options for outdoor storage!!
Why skip the hardest part!!
I tried my best to show as much as I could about the assembly process but if you’re referring to how the doors attach it was not possible for me to attach the doors and put my camera inside the shed to show how they attach at the same time they’re just was not enough room and for that I apologize.
Lou, you skipped the 2 hardest parts of the shed, and the reason that I sought out this videol.... The Hinges, and the metal strip on the roof...you didn't even show it! urrrrrgggggg
Brother believe me I tried to show as much as I could... it was LITERALLY not possible to show how the hinges snapped on with enough space to put my camera tripod!
As for the metal strip on the roof I did show it being drilled into place and and that was basically it. Let me know if you have any other questions about the roof and I’ll be more than happy to answer them for you
That is a fact
I was able to figure out the hinges with the manual and trial & error. But I had to come to this video to figure out where the EFF that metal strip attached to the roof, so thank you for this video Big Lou! I'm considering using a caulk gun and gorilla glue tubes to glue caulk every place where it attaches and all the little crevices for added structure integrity. I'm also in FL and the last thing i need is a thunderstorm blowing this baby down ;)
Every little bit of added strength would help... especially in some of the major storms... but if a big Cat 4 or Cat 5 rolls through this thing is toast no matter what!! Andrew or Charlie would eat this tiny little thing for lunch!! hahahaha
എടാ തടിയാ, എന്നതാടാ നീ തിന്നുന്നേ...? 🤔🙄🤫
I'm sorry... but I have no idea what this says.
You rock! I got a free shed like that but It came with no plastic assembly screws. Trying to find them is difficult
Oh No... that's not cool... have you tried going through the manufacturer's website... most places now a days offer replacement hardware, might be worth looking into if you have not already done so!! Thanks for the comment and good luck!!
It's not big enough to store a mountain bike
it's like the T.A.R.D.I.S. ... bigger on the inside!! LOL There's more room in there than you might think, but in general no, I would not recommend this for Bike Storage!
