[@margaretbear]

Damn that ramp design is fantastic, what an awesome idea. The metal might be overkill but you'll never have to worry about the wood rotting and that hinge idea is brilliant. The whole shed is gorgeous.

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot 🤘

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Very nice build! We have some hills, and that's what caught my eye about your project. Thanks for sharing this project!

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot!

[@LewisBarnettSr.]

That ramp design for the overhead door end was brilliant.

[@Kordare]

Thanks, I'm glad I went that route rather than straight.

[@brandonbissett162]

You could go with torchdown on the ramps to protect the plywood. I'd say both smooth or granulated would work

[@PacoRobbins]

Happy this got suggested to me. My granddad on my dads side is a carpenter and built his own home from nothing with my great grandpa. My grandpa on my moms side was a metal erector. And then there's me who never learned either lol. I've always had a huge interest in building things, but because of cost i can't take the financial risk of doing something wrong. Love this video.

[@Kordare]

Thanks for checking it out. Start with small projects if you aren't ready for something major. Don't be afraid to fail, that's how you learn!

[@bisooyeong]

you inspire me to be just like you when i'm older. thanks for recording and putting up these videos. you're awesome!!!

[@Kordare]

Just don't be afraid to put in the work and learn something new! I appreciate your support 🤘

[@ianmedlam7295]

Great work! Over built, for only a few extra dollars, is always a good move!! And building it up off the slope makes that usable space that otherwise might not have been!! I enjoy your videos on construction projects!

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot 🤘🤘

[@VS666]

Hell, yeah dude saving this one for tonight, I was thinking about something similar in my backyard as well but unfortunately, I am right on the edge of city limits and they require 6 feet from your neighbors fence and I only have about 12 feet from my house to the fence, it would have been perfect for something long and skinny. Also, I met a new friend last week that has an 03 boosted Mustang and told him I was inspired by your build and he knew exactly who I was talking about.

[@Kordare]

Haha that's awesome. Guess it's time to move further from the city 🤘

[@VS666]

Yup! Once the Braptor and a few other toys are paid off! 🤣😉

[@CrazyMooseManor]

Very nice build. Just do a stain with some grit for the ramps. So they are not like a sheet of ice when wet or frosty.

[@Kordare]

Thanks and yeah that's what I was thinking 🤘

[@ronlovell5374]

Great job! That shed is built better than most houses today. The attention to detail in the right areas will definitely help it last you for many years.

[@Kordare]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@_autoverse]

It’s a pretty little shed, you’re certainly making the most of your land.

[@DiscoFang]

Great project and vid. One design and structure comment: your roof structure has limited shear bracing. American construction typically has sheet panel sheathing under the roof material which does much of that role. Depending on the gauge of the steel roof you used it is going to have bracing effect but with inherent flex and movement it's a bit deficient in the flat horizontal plane at the top of the wall level. It's usual to add full corner to corner diagonal at ceiling joist level or at least cross bracing on each roof plane to do this. Ply shelving layer on ceiling joists is superb way to do this. Nice shed tho, love the ramps, nice work on getting that trapezoid shape to touch level on both the floor and ground!

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot! And yeah my house has that diagonal shear bracing you mentioned. With how small the roof is, the combination of purlins and the metal itself seems to do the job sufficiently.

[@DiscoFang]

@@Kordare Yeah it is amazing during construction how adding sheet roofing suddenly adds massive lateral rigidity to a garage. Your construction is definitely pretty burly as it is. If you ever felt it needed it you could add them across the mid rafter ties. Either strapping or ply.

[@nickduende]

Beautiful shed and ramp design, only thing missing imo is a moisture/fire insulation layer for walls/roof to keep the wood lasting longer maybe?

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

That turned out so great. I love the look of the end with the garage door & the ramp.

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot, I'm happy with how it all came together.

[@robertkerby2581]

Wow, you did an Absolutely amazing job building this ginormous shed! You inspire me to want to build my own shed, too! Well done, Sir!

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot🤘

[@deans2790]

You made it look easy! Great video! One suggestion for the ramps, consider using a non-skid finish. My shed is a few years old and as the plywood ages, it has become very slippery. When I (someday) get around to replacing it, it will be finished with non-skid. Maybe just mix sand with the paint/stain.

[@Kordare]

I was thinking to do something like that, thanks!

[@NotJayUU]

my wife and I are buying our first house soon, I keep watching your videos and just thinking like "hmmm maybe we should just buy a plot of land and build it ourselves like Kordare is!". But then I realize I don't have nearly the same drive you do and it would never get finished (or even started to be honest). Anyway love the videos!

[@Kordare]

Haha I believe in you! Thanks 🤘

[@piasprojects]

Great work as welcome man! I’d suggest a Grey stain for the ramps and it would tie everything together.

[@Kordare]

Thanks, not a bad idea!

[@justin7080]

That's one solid shed, fantastic job. Feels so good to get all that space back in the shop, doesnt it?

[@Kordare]

Yes it does, thank you!

[@mrlost117]

Havent been recommended one of your vids in like 2 years

[@Kordare]

Welcome back

[@tribeverage7268]

VERY nice work! As soon as I saw the floor and lift in your shop, I knew that this would be a sweet build!! Cheers

[@Kordare]

Thanks for checking it out 🤘

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Kordare. This was another amazing build for an awesome place. Two things is when you Stain the ramps you may want to put rubber strips on for more grip going up and down when it’s wet and where it’s open under the roof you may want to put So that critters won’t make a nest in your shed where you don’t want them too.

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot! And yeah I got some vents to put up at the ridge and I'll likely build some type of soffit under the eaves.

[@christopherharris6005]

@@Kordare You’re welcome. Are you going to put the plans for the Shed on your website. Also how much acreage do you have?

[@davidjimenez933]

Really nice work 👏

[@Kordare]

Thank you!

[@JetP20]

This was a great build, I like the attention to detail and getting things done right.

[@Kordare]

Great work, got this one saved for my future shed research!! looks very clean, well made...

Thanks a lot, good luck with yours!

[@bentheman1980]

Excited for this vid. Especially cause it’s almost 50min.

[@billpar]

is there anything you can't do? I,'m amazed by your talent , your natural ability to figure things out and make it happen, God certainly blessed you !!!!!!

[@Kordare]

Haha thank you. I really never know what I'm doing but do the research and teach myself. We live in a time with a basically free endless resource of information, might as well take advantage before it's gone.

[@O_look_a_names_should_be_here]

Very nicely done, I'm actually about to build a shed/shop myself though mine is going to be 15x30 and your video has been a great refresher to how I need to do it. I haven't built something like this in over 2 decades and am a little rusty.

[@Kordare]

Thanks, and good luck with your project!

[@GordMullins]

nice build excellent ramp ideas !! my only question is why no soffit ? I think the best idea for ramp plywood is just a stain/water treatment ( 5 min with ump sprayer but again great build

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot! I'm planning to do soffit just didn't yet, needed a break 😅

[@RenegadesGarage]

Kordare.. Awesome shed build. I want to build a shed in my backyard.

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot!

[@DigitalSwagg]

Super nice, I definitely need a shed myself.

[@Kordare]

Thanks! Can always use more shed/garage space 😂

[@greenflintriver]

Nice!

[@micronet67]

Very cool shed dude. Ramps and all.

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot 🤘

[@williamguillIII]

The 2x's that you attached the floor joists to is called a "band". Nice work!

[@Kordare]

I literally searched the Internet before making this video and it seems everyone calls them a different thing so I just chose headers 😂😂 Thank you!

[@williamguillIII]

@@Kordare Yeah, if you had a block foundation, they would be called rim joists that sat on a sill plate on top of the blocks. Most carpenters use the term headers for the box/beam/vertical that's above doors and windows. You definitely built it very sturdy. I'd suggest you block in the spaces between rafters/truss' on your top plate , up to the metal sheeting, to keep out bugs, birds, and other critters making your shed their new home....hehehe! You did a great job and obviously thought this whole build out and learned as much as you could before tackling this project! Attention to detail is key in doing quality work, and, you nailed it.....pun intended!!

[@miscosas]

Nice shed those ramps are def overkill 😂 i would put something rubberized on those ramps similar to those winter mats anti slice , but bigger just to cover them all , probably something like that exist 😅😅

[@Kordare]

Not a bad idea 👍

[@JamesSloan-gv6gr]

Excellent 👍

[@CoreyPoe]

I'll have to start in a tiny home . Probably 12x24 lol . But eventually be in a house like that . Just made a deal to purchase more property next to me , got my electric easement no other owner figure out how to get . Can't wait to finalize the deal on the new property. I'd rather build on it.

[@Kordare]

Good luck with your project!

[@tomlandis5552]

Nice build! The shed looks solid but I don't think the plywood on the ramps will hold up over time. Maybe use deck boards

[@Kordare]

Thanks! They are treated and I'll be sealing the top side

[@GordMullins]

awesome

Yea bro you made it look super easy. Lol. My would like a leaning shed. Lol😂

[@Kordare]

😂😂

[@dennisconlon5810]

I had a local shed company make my 10x20 shed. My regret now is I didn’t have ridged insulation put into the floor. The shed at that time was not heated but now that I’m retiring soon and I’m in the process of heating and insulating it. When building something always make it bigger that you think you need and consider it’s use may change down the road.

[@Kordare]

I totally agree 👍

[@c0wb0yTV]

you sure make it look easy

[@Kordare]

It wasn't too bad other than dealing with the height on the back side. Could have used a 2 foot taller ladder 😂

[@catherinecolbert7148]

Beautiful shed. I'm saving this video in hopes that we can build one. What kind of paint did you put on the floor? Also, are you planning to put bird blocking along the insude top walls. Come summer, you'll get birds, bees, wasps making nests inside your building.

[@Kordare]

Thank you! I used porch and floor paint. Same thing I used on my ramp and loft in the garage. And yeah I think I'll probably do something at the top of the walls. For now it's very well ventilated 😂

[@matthewenderle8880]

If you scuff the plywood with a big wirewheel on a grinder, can you use spray on bed liner like RaptorLiner? I would think a few coats, and then a final one at 24-36" away would make it not be slick. I would imagine that paint would get dirty and slick quick.

[@Kordare]

Yeah that might work 👍

[@Ebikelover]

That ws a very impressive build my man, what a great looking shed you really thought everything out ahead of time. Have you ever thought about installing a backup solar system for the house and shed ?

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot! I've definitely thought about solar. I don't have any south facing roof planes but I could likely still get a good amount of power out of it. It would be nice since I do get power outages fairly often.

[@Ebikelover]

@@Kordare Cool With your workmanship and the way you think about every aspect of your projects, it would be a great video.

[@kordelwilliams5770]

Nice ❤

[@Sarah_Jean]

Once dried out, I think stain would be a better option for the ramps. Also, the shed looks good next to your house/shop!

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot!

[@saidtheblueknight]

You may want to add gutters on the rear of the shed. Even though your siding is far away from the ground, you will definitely have erosion issues right near where your footers are. In just the little time that this shed has been up you got a good water line. Imagine years later that's going to be much more severe.

[@Kordare]

I'll keep an eye on it but this soil is literally all slate so I'm betting the erosion will be almost non existent

[@nathankirby4265]

You might use bed liner for the ramps to help with traction when pulling bikes and mowers into it.

[@Kordare]

Someone else mentioned the same thing!

[@zake1571]

Elegant .... good for you 🙂

[@Kordare]

Thanks!

[@gregoryponticelli4408]

Great job. Thank you for sharing. I might have missed it, did you put any soffit under the over hangs to close the gaps? Thanks again, new subscriber and can't wait to go through videos and watch more of your work.

[@Kordare]

Thanks for checking it out! I haven't built any soffits yet, but likely will. I also bought some foam venting for under the ridge cap.

[@mynameisjeff4511]

Another great video. Have you or did you consider putting a drain or two in the floor?

[@Kordare]

Thanks! And no not really. Since it's wooden I'll try to avoid getting it too wet anyway

[@CreativeGenes]

if your ramps are not treated, you may want to put some kind of weather seal. lexel your seams.

[@Kordare]

They are treated, will likely do stain and clear once they dry out

[@calebcruz1435]

So how do you prep to get measurements and to make it straight

[@Kordare]

Measure a bunch of times and make sure to also check diagonally. All that math in school actually is helpful 😂

[@philtucker1224]

The garage door at the end with the wired ramp seemed a little pointless when you could have it facing the house on a level approach entry.

This was the most efficient way for loading the vehicles I wanted to store in there. Not to mention looks way better in my opinion

[@philtucker1224]

@@Kordare yes it certainly looks much nicer the way you have it. Possibly in the future you may decide to build up the drop side of the bank and build a curved- level drive in, (so you can negotiate the door all year round)

Sorry I’m always asking questions, but I’m going to try and get it out of the way. Thank you, if you can answer them ❤ 1. How much is needed down for the loan ? I’ve heard to use construction loans, if so can I put 3.5% down 2. Where do I even begin ?! Do I contact the bank first, finding company’s to do all the work is sooo freaking hard, I have to find like 80 different people. Then I have to get quotes from them. I’m thinking of going with a contractor. But even if I do get an estimate, let’s say all cost should be 100k. So I get approved for that amount then it ends up being 150k ?

[@Kordare]

Sounds like you should find a builder/general contractor first and get a bunch of quotes. It's up to you to determine what you can afford but my advice is to put down more like 20% so you have more equity from the start. You'll need to talk with your bank or a credit union to determine how much you can borrow to really figure out what your budget is.
