Building a Custom Loft in the Warehouse!

We built our own custom loft at the warehouse! This thing is awesome, now we have tons more floor space once we move everything up onto of the loft and the shop will look a lot cleaner!

I recommend adding a strip of anti-slip tape on each step of those stairs, so that you don't slip and fall by accident. Otherwise it looks great!

@@RobbieFerreira this build scares me. I have been building houses for 20 plus years. one: screws have no real shear value. and should NOT be used for structural building. use nails. also add joist hangers for the front posts, the 8 screws you used for holding the 2x4's is not meant to hold the weight of that floor. screws are for deck boards and flooring.

[@robk.7550]

Nice job overall! Aside from the stairs (which you mentioned you will reinforce with 2x2's), the only thing I want to recommend is reinforcing that outside 2x4. Right now, that top 2x4 that ties the 2 4x4's together is the only thing supporting all of your joists. If anything where to go, that would be it. Easy way to reinforce that is to get a 2x8 and use some lag screws to the 4x4's and then across that 2x4 in a non-linear pattern to give more support. Safety first man! Thank for posting! Enjoyed the video 👍

[@gibbgarage]

@@BowAndArrow64 that is definitely not permitted (I am in the commercial/industrial building business) that would never get approved or pass either but the permit application process is so goddamned stupid and takes so long as long as they don't leave it like that once the lease is up they shouldn't really have a problem, unless someone reports them.

[@DeoneSoBord]

Be careful on those stairs guys!!! only screws holding it in, wouldn't take much for the wood to split. I imagine with strips underneath it might be fine but I'd recommend restarting, cutting a 2x12 or atleast a 2x10, look up "stair stringer" on google and you'll get the basic idea, and than you run you're boards across the stringers, make it deep enough steps to slide a toe board plywood behind a thicker peice of tread and it should be good as your stairs arent bigger than 36". not trying to be a professional or anything, just dont want the next video to be "Brad/Robbie in hospital after falling through stairs" 😬

[@milehighmenace9677]

[@HunterZ32]

We do will calls at work for big parts orders. In HVAC it’s common to will call the metal for the jobs because it takes up so much space. We pretty much only store our package units, split systems, and small stuff for material like copper fittings, t stats, etc which we sometimes also will call instead of running around Home Depot 😂

[@tsherwoodrzero]

2 things I'd like to mention from an engineering perspective. Where are your Joist Hangers? Quite literally, ALL of your weight is being supported by a 2x4 in its axis of least strength over a span of what appears to be over 12ft, plus a couple of wood screws into the 2x8 stringer along the wall. As a result, if it fails anywhere, it will be on the wall, roughly dead center where the Moment of Inertia is at its greatest. With that said, the average pine 2x4's deflection strength in these conditions is roughly 800 pounds. White Oak is about 1500 pounds and a correctly-performed kick can break a 4ft long one against the grain if struck dead center in the same manner. Also, the 4x4 posts do not appear to be properly anchored into the concrete. For perspective, I built a free-standing 3'6"x12' porch a few years ago using recycled lumber. Double 2x6 front and rear stringer beams, plus 2x6s on both ends, with 2x4 joists on joist hangers on both ends spaced on 16" centers, running front to back. Each joist hanger had six 3" screws to engage BOTH of the 2x6s, and 4 securing the 2x4 joist to the hanger. Repeat for the other end, and every other hanger. The whole thing was sitting on six 4x4 posts, diagonal braced to the frame in both axes, then secured on concrete with 4 anchors per post. Walking surface was regular 12ft long 2x4s, screwed into the 2x4 joists and on the outer frame. Any load placed anywhere on the porch was supported by EVERY floor joist AND the frame, and the greatest span distance between any two points of strength was under 12". Weighed 550 lbs when I moved it into position by myself. Now you can see why I can break a 2x4 with one kick ;) Built a set of 4 wheel crib jack stands last year out of regular 2x4s for $80 to support a 2001 BMW 750IL. Each stand is 30lbs, can hold a regular jack stand on top of it, and the set can hold a Russian T-62 tank before deflection is measurable. Ain't physics awesome?

[@MrKito1989]

I’mma start off by saying I’m not hating I’m literally just concerned for the committed crews well being the loft itself won’t fall could’ve been better but for first timers it’s a good job the stairs is what you should put more support on since the steps are literally holding on by screws at the moment, notching the 2x10s and smacking a 2x4 to the 2x10s side would allow for better weight distribution especially since you’re planing to use the second floor for storage there will be a lot of weight going up and down those stairs. Again I’m a fan since the wish build I’m not hating you guys did great work but I wouldn’t want the stairs breaking knowing I could’ve said something to prevent it even though I doubt you read this much of my post lol. If by any chance you have read this far you can message me and I’d be glad to help. I’m an architect and build houses for a living if your wondering what my knowledge background is. Stay Committed

[@GIZZMOTORSPORTS]

That’s not safe. Without taking it all down, one way I think you could save that is to put a 2x10 going across the front under the 2x10s you have going front to back, and then put 4x4s under on both sides of the beam. And of course fix the stairs, cut into the floor to make it safe.

[@lugaruna]

Okay this isn't ment in a negative way im just curious:p. I have been watching a few video's on how to make a loft but almost all of them were for car workshopsXD. What is the deal with that? Im a goldsmith and this afternoon im going to look at a potential workshop where i want to build a loft for storage and more work space. At one side it's like 7 meters high so gotta usr what you have right:p? But you guys did an awesome job:D it looks realy nice:).

[@mattoneill9723]

Yo!! Brad should really get a new windsheild. Just saying, drove me nuts after mine broke, immediately got mine replaced. Insurance should cover it.

[@nickc4849]

stupid idea: maybe make a simple dumbwaiter to lift anything being stored to the top without having to carry it up the stairs? you could mount a pulley into the ceiling and have a simple basket that you attach when you need to lift things to the loft to save space when not in use? Also, a bit of a safety measure considering the tight stair ratio. I assume most things going up there won't be extremely heavy so it wouldn't need to be a crazy build. idk I don't know anything about engineering so don't mind me if it's a dumb idea hahaha. Best of luck regardless!

[@kalaukko4172]

[@augenmaugen]

My dad and I built stairs with that method and they didn’t last too long (sections of 2x4 under the sides of each stair, bolted into the side plates). We eventually had to make new side plates with cutouts and screwed them in place of the 2x4’s. No issues after that.

[@eastcoastgaminq4399]

Deff some anti slip material on each step on stairs , and I'd so put a bed up there lol and a tv and just chill haha

[@chrisbillmeyer8344]

To spare floor space. Rather than the centered 4 by 4 on the 2 by 4 header, just add a 2 by 8 to the face of if from corner to corner aka 4x4 to 4x4. Tag 2 screws every 16 inches, 3 inch screws would do.
