Build a Lean-To Shed [Part 3- Finishing - Roof, Siding, Doors]

[@ElectricIguana]

The access door is a cool idea!

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks!

[@lithiumike]

I'm going to have to do it myself for the same reason!

[@yurihuta8487]

Brilliant idea with the access door for long pieces of lumber!

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks!!

[@twngrl1625]

Hopefully this will work I need to.add on 6 feet more on my house

[@snowgorilla9789]

That is almost exactly what I plan on doing, the access mini door is brilliant.

[@Token_Civilian]

Nicely done. A well built shed will last decades. I'm looking out on my tool shed that I put up the summer of '97. Looks almost as good as the day I painted it 24 years ago.

[@W4TRI_Ronny]

We used the same vent in our small radio shed. I wired 120mm computer fans 12vdc to a small 7ah alarm battery and then to a 10 watt solar panel on the roof. It keeps the fans going all the time in a push out/draw in motion. I only used fans on half the holes so I have good even air flow.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Excellent idea! I've been thinking of a similar system of forced airflow using a solar charged battery.

[@garylanders1470]

Nice job!

I learned a lot from your first two videos. Having a metal roof maybe you don't need tar paper, but when I was a roofer we always put tar paper on that flat of a roof for standard shingles. So if anyone is reading this and not going to do metal... please remember to use tar paper and put extra nails in each shingle if the roof is fairly flat or you will have water pooling and eventually soaking through somehow, over time. Just my non-expert 2 cents. I'm convinced that your method is better for metal with the screws because the screws have a solid surface to keep the seal. If you punch the screws into the hollow portion the metal will flex and might leak at some point. Probably not much, but my grandpa and I installed a metal roof this way and it eventually leaked after many years

[@thepoynt]

Thanks for putting up these videos. I've been thinking about building something very similar this summer and this series has convinced me. Seems like a relatively easy way to get a bunch of space back in my workshop!

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks!!

[@roovie8287]

This is so clean. Have been following since part 1

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks very much!!

[@Se7enSense-nx3hl]

You are a genius! I'm doing something very similar to my shed currently and will have to divide the 16' into 3 compartments that will have their own entries. I like the idea of the hidden door bc that's where I'm be stacking come excess fencing I have. Once it's all done, I'll post a video or something. Foundation is already done. Doing the walls today!

[@quinnmackay4493]

Great work! A LOT of work, too! Whew! It looks great, though, and your video editing and explanations are great!

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@msears101]

love this series.

[@dereklandry6196]

This was amazing ty so much currently adding a 16x32 addition off a shop and this is exactly what I had in mind. Ty Ty so much

[@lightdark00]

Top of the groves for me. Over time I believe that leads to less water ingress. Like that extra pass through door, great thinking ahead! 👍

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks!!

[@ryanhamilton9709]

Hey I just found your videos on your shed extension project and if nobody has told you yet? ! Your The Man!! I think you did a badass job!! And what's ironic and kinda strange is the exact same project you're doing or have completed by now is basically exactly what I have planned and not every detail but the main ideas like your work Shop and dust collector shed extension rain water collector! How you put pavers on the shed floor! Basically exactly what I have planned and you have done it how I have had it written out! So I got lucky to be able to watch you and learn from your mistakes! Plus I try to learn from dying video and most people don't show what they are doing in detail or to much talking about everything in their life but not your videos ! Ur r just right!! Plus ur mind set on these f+++ ing wood and everything else prices! Lol

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thank you so much! You made my day!! Cheers, Kent

[@DezRAT1990]

I'm planning something similar for my shop, except I'm adding some windows and a rollup door

As always a well done project and video. Thank you for sharing.

Wow.....excellent job m8 !!!

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@slewter9041]

Yeah I always cut material from the backside,,it's a cleaner cut..but no matter because a shadow board can always be placed on to ensure a uniform look .well done it looks great👍

[@RafaelRivera2013]

Great Job.

[@gsftom]

Good build. Thanks for sharing.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks for watching!

[@efunkyman6853]

This shed is awesome. Taking my time, I will build this too. But I sure wish I had your plans. It's in the details!

[@tamivo7208]

You sure do make it loook sooo easy 😂 ❤❤❤

[@TheTacticalHaggis]

Did you not put a membrane on top of the foundation blocks before framing the walls?

[@curtdunlap6818]

Another fine job done! FYI: The instructions to the Grand-Rib roofing that I had installed years ago recommended anchoring the panels on the flat surfaces. The screws have rubber washers which seal out the rain. They will not seal on the ribs without distorting the panels and skew the layout. I don't know if I should have added this extra step or not, but I also ran a bead of silicone on the rib overlaps between sections.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I too have seen the manufacturer's recommendation that screws land on the flats.

[@KODIDesigns]

Thx!!!

[@bradmaas6875]

Top of the ridges, less chance of water infiltration. First time I've seen anyone put tar paper on studs. Nice job overall

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks Brad. The existing shed had tar paper on the studs as well.

[@joeblue354]

The washer on the screw for the metal roofing eventually deteriorates over time if the screw is in the top of the ridge the water doesn't lay there as much. But it's not a big deal in 15 years you can just replace the screws with new screws or put a dab of clear silicone on each screw

[@mocobb4791]

I just added an 18ft long by 6ft deep extension to my garage for additional storage. The price of wood blew my original budget out but it was still worth it.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

My budget was blown too. But now with lumber back down I might stock up on some 2x4's etc....

[@RedandAprilOff-Grid]

Nice! 😊🏠

[@hyfy-tr2jy]

great content as always. Have to admit though, I would have expected you to put some 90 degree corners on the exterior siding where the walls meet. Would give it a more finished look and help keep out the weather and insects

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks! And that's a good idea. I was trying to match the existing shed.

[@phillyboy1813]

what software did you use to do the mock up before you started the build? thanks

[@REDCLAYHOMESTEAD]

Impressive

[@kiethbiasillo4678]

this will help me finish mine as I was unsure of the roofing specifics. The only thing that I saw that looked to be a problem is the top of your long wall did not meet up all the way across, do you fix something like that with extra trim?

[@doubledarefan]

8:35 Instead of dots of glue, you should have laid steady beads on both sides and on both ends, like you did with silicone later.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I did spread the adhesive with a screwdriver before I put the door sweep back in place. But that clip didn't make it in the final video. I find I shoot a lot of footage but, to keep things moving, I have to cut a lot. Thx, Kent

[@paytonrojas4120]

Hey man. What software do you use for your designs? I was looking through your videos and you put plans up! it would be extremely useful for me. thanks

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I use Sketchup Pro.

[@VIVAFPV]

good job as always. What angle roof is ?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks! It's pretty low. 8 degrees I think.

[@lkahele1]

Did you finish the interior?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

No, just stud walls exposed. Added so shelves though.

[@MsScalzada]

whats the budget for a shed like this? just to give me an idea i need one exactly like this on to the side of my house

[@MsScalzada]

without floor only 2 walls and roof

[@paulkainer269]

Manufacturers state on flat because on crown of ribs can cause a bow and make panel "grow" in length.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I agree!

[@omarjackson1129]

whats was the total cost?

[@pottsy3765]

Hey Kent, awesome video as always. Rain water collection on this? or not enough surface area to justify costs? Since you already have the gutter collecting right above.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks! The roof surface area of my two other sheds is more than adequate for the big tank I have. So, I don't need to capture anything (at this point) from this extension.

[@lk8031]

Great job mate👍🏻 I have a question: what about the wood price in the usa before covid19 and now? The price in germany or maybe some more parts of europe has roughly tripled. Not a good time for starting a woodworking hobby at all :(

[@frederickbays405]

Solved that as i work with native lumber lonely If I wait a finished piece I put it through planer/jointer and sand it to as smooth as I want it. Only time I do this is when I am making furniture. I live in UpState NY where we have lots of Amish saw mills. One thing that holding up my projects is that they have so many orders. I have order in for 500 1x8x8 and same 2x4x8 Last spring I bought for $7.00 each 200 2x8x8 white oak and same in ash I will be building a new three story all purpose building next summer This will be a multi yr project in that I do all this work alone at 73 Oh the magic of hydronics and air hammers and portable drills.

[@sidehop]

Hey the price is cheap now lol

[@razclud]

GLOVES!!!

[@ed-jf3xh]

Put stainless steel screen in you vents or you get insects coming through them. Any other material will eventually break down.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Good tip! Thx

[@carlindurfee7566]

Why did you need two doors?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I put the smaller hidden door in line with the shelves so I could move long stock in or out easily.

[@OkeeeDokey]

How come you didnt need rafter ties? I want to do the same thing. I dont want to have to use rafter ties

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I did use a metal bracket between the rafters and the top plate. Serves the same purpose I would think.

[@kat0197]

Always on the tops of sheets alwaya. Because when you put screw on flat there is more chance to water get under the screw because there will be way more water on flat surface than on top of sheet. On flat water will flow on top not.
