Blocking the air flow under your shed is a sure way to trap moisture and rot flooring and walls. Instead of solid barrier, Use 1/2 x1/2 chicken wire and bend in an L
I suppose they could but apparently they are not that smart. In all the teardowns we have done, I find They tend to dig right next to the building. Tractor supply sells 2’ long rolls of wire. Sheds are usually 7-10” from ground, so if wire is out 12-14” that will work.
We did that for our shed, but after a few years some creature ripped some of the flashing out in certain places. What kind of creature can rip that apart?
I just took down my shed, it was so bad! I had 1 dead rabbit under the shed that was there for awhile thats for sure! But I had a colony of gigantic spiders under the plywood floor it was horrifying!!! Now I have shed phobia, and never ever want another shed as long as I live. Has anyone had a spider problem? I really am freaked out about it. The shed was put together very well, it was around 15 years old. It was also a metal shed, and in the summer it was like an oven in there! Moral of the story, I'm glad it's gone!
@@addismultitasking3504 I already live in suburbia, off of a golf course. Ever since deforestation began, and more houses were built, we've all started noticing groundhogs. These things have pushed or knocked my live traps over to get under the shed. I now use connibear traps and snares. I wish I didn't have to, but its either my shed foundation or them.
Unfortunately this will not work. Just finish going through this. They will dig around this and drive you crazy. You need tough chocked wire or a cement base with broken glass in it. The animal progression is real.
Yes of course, but sheds have all kinds of poison and chemicals and valuables we won't want them to chew on. You could always set nesting boxes outside if you wanted to give your backyard wildlife some sheltering options ☺️
Dude. Just leave them alone. They ain’t bugging you. They are trying to find shelter. Istg y’all have respect until it’s a “unwanted pest” they ain’t even bad.
If they didn't sh*t piles all over my yard, harbor bugs and diseases, get in garbage can, spray, dig up the yard and eat my garden......maybe. But that's not the case.

Good thought thanks
@Eric Houwen if your bending it at an L it’s going under the shed.Won’t the animals still be able to get under the bottom ?

There’s always a Debbie downer in the comments. Drill some vent holes then.

This is good to know, we are getting anew shed. I want to do this. TFS!
Great information my man 💪🏾
Love your video bro thank you so much for making it very informative appreciate you thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Good idea. I am going to try this. Thanks for sharing.
have a good weekend
Is your base treated lumber? If so, have you had problems with the aluminum corroding?
What's name of the roofing ice barrier cause only thing that keeps popping up is that peel an stick stuff
lime and broken glass work good too .
Do I still need the ice barrier if I am digging a trench?
I want to try this with my shed, but I can't find that stapler you used. What brand and model is that?
Good job 👍
thanks for watching.. Have a good day
what kind of base are you using? thanks for the video
I have 4 in of crushed gravel and then I put roofing paper on top of that to stop the weeds
Thank you ☺️
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks
No problem

Chupacabra

wow
Just call Will Ferrell to shout at them.
Bad idea, You cut off the air flow under the shed. I made that mistake once and the floor rotted
I have something similar, and the groundhogs just dig right under it
set up a live trap and move them out to the country

Yeah they are tough to stop
Put chicken wire under your gravel. They will only dig a few inches before they hit the chicken wire and stop.
Stink up your shed 😂 😂 😂
RUFFing!.....I think he means ROOFing!

GOD made animals too. They need shelter too.

So you like cute mice and rats 🐀 spreading disease?
Then put them in YOUR house dude🙄
