Building A Large Mezzanine With Stair Case

In this video, we add a large mezzanine and stair case to one of our previous build series. Adding this large mezzanine allowed our client to utilize a ton more space in his shop, and by having the large stair case, it will easily be accessible even when carrying items to or from the storage space.
Building a mezzanine is a great cost effective way to gain additional storage in a shop or garage without needing to make the footprint larger.

Kudos Kyle & Co. This is a young man's work and you guys rock. I'm over 60 now, and drove tractor trailers most of my life until I blew out my back. Recently had to put all my schtuff into storage, our home and my shop. Saw a 12' x 40' stall where a tenant had built a loft to stow some of his stuff and I asked the owner of the storage facility if I could build one of these mezzanines inside my unit. Long story short . . . He loved what I did (six months ago) and now I have built a total of three of these, including one for the owner himself - with "Folding" stairs ! He's very excited about it and asked me to get some sort of list to show his other tenants. So now I have a "brochure" and have two more jobs pending already ! In order to speed things up and be able to make intelligent estimates for my materials and labor I started brushing up on my 3-D modeling using SketchUp. I studied Autodesk Maya in college some ten years ago after blowing out my back, but SketchUp is just fine for this stuff. Then I run across your videos ! I subbed after the first video, actually only halfway through. I knew I wanted to see more of your work. Great stuff dude. Really, you do good work. Thanks for the videos too. Like I said, this work is for young guys like yourself. My back is killing me, but I need the income and can't, absolutely CAN'T drive a truck anymore. I work for myself and I can pace myself according to my bodies abilities. Looking forward to many more videos . . . Currently binging out on - Part 3: 80' Truss Install With 2 Guys: Large WorkShop series. Love it guys !

With Ryan's kzbin.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!

[@granadojl]

That comment about the screw and how it cuts into the wood is literally the reason why I enjoy your channel. Small details that will never be seen is the type of dude I want building for me and well worth any amount you charge. I wish I had the land to have you build me a shop.

[@tmenzella]

This dude has more tools than Norm. Love it!

[@chriskage5217]

Perfect vid on the mezz! Thanks for posting this. My plans are coming together for my shop project.

[@yasminakha6108]

*Very easy to set up and use, attractive but be sure you understand the height--it's not tall. The heat is not overwhelming, but steady and pleasant fireplace **fireplace.homes** . It's quiet, too. I like the possibility of easily moving it from room to room in the event we want supplemental heat elsewhere. Definitely a good buy.*

[@shyamdevadas6099]

Dude, when I watch videos of experienced craftsmen at work, it puts my ego in check. Makes me wanna tear out what I built in my barn and start over. Great video!

[@AdamKalbasz]

I really like how you take the time at key points to explain what you’re doing. These small tips are invaluable! Thanks for sharing them.

[@ericlarkin6563]

You and your company does such a good job! Thanks for the donation.

[@ContractorGrowthNetwork]

That came out as perfect as you could imagine.

[@jimwiskus8862]

Just a beautiful job Kyle as always. Well thought out and clear. That’s one happy customer I imagine!

[@jamesmatheson5115]

Love watching you guys using pine, working with a such soft timber sure makes things look easy, where I live we use Jarrah for building timbers, when I was poor I used recycled Jarrah, man that's as hard as steel, every piece has to be predrilled.

[@wilkinsoncarpentry6278]

Great vid Kyle, you must love the change here and there , building a mezzanine in between post frames gotta be fun haha for me I build houses and when it comes to the finish Carpentry/fixout ( we call it) it’s a great change

[@DATDesign]

Amazing work as always! Watching this the day after I built my (much smaller) garage loft (probably should have watched before lol). GRK should sponsor Kyle. Because of him, I don't think twice about spending extra for them. They're a joy to use.

[@andrewcole651]

nicely done. Great attention t detail. THANK you for making all the edges of the subfloor blue across the length.

[@PlanetMojo]

I love my mezzanine in my shed. Not only does it give me the room up above for storage, but also a lockable, heated room down below and an area for hardware where the ceiling is 8' and can be lighted real well. They make a lot of extra usable space if your not parking big machinery back there.

[@ShanepxII]

I really like the stair detail around that pipe 👌🏼

[@Aepek]

Who’d have thought that one day, we’d all be using battery powered cordless caulk gun😅; but OH MY.....DOES IT TRULY help the job go faster, & help your hands/arms from not “tiring” from a long day of caulking😉 Loft looks great, waiting to see the next video now😊 Cheers✌🏼

[@drumspipes]

Battery powered hammer drills, cordless nail guns, saws, everything!

[@logan979]

Awesome Kyle ! Thanks for sharing your serious Skill !!

[@dylanmcdonald7765]

After watching your videos, you’ve convinced me I need a mezzanine when I build my shop. Greatly increases storage while losing very minimal floor space.

[@mobiledevto]

hell yeah.. how else you gonna watch the game while looking at your toys? Plus you can use under the mezz for racks and racks of parts storage bins ;-)

[@jimcuster5318]

Well done guys. Thanks for sharing your knowledge..

[@GulfSoftwash]

This guy is a phenomenal carpenter. Crazy good skill.

[@johnhunter273]

Awesome addition to the workspace!

Found another great channel this guy is super cool with how he explains everything

[@johnhouseholder7682]

One of my favorite videos from your channel.

[@hacketup]

Very impressive builders. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@86c5corvette]

Man even though it is just a shop you attention to detail and precision is outstanding probably better than most contractors who build houses. Me and my dad used to build pole barn garages back in the early nineties.

[@tarbell111]

I have the m12 version of that caulk gun. I use it it a lot between roofing and remodeling. It is truly a game changer.

[@gueorguimurdock2428]

Looks amazing

[@CulannHS]

That......is one HELL of a workshop. I'm freaking jealous. And the mezzanine you guys put in is damn impressive work. If I ever win the lottery, I know who to call now....

[@raymondoverson8715]

LOL "1/8 inch off...have to live with that" I literally laughed out loud. Love your work. Keep it up...

[@aaronbailey9120]

Haha... did the same thing too. An 8th over 30ft... why are we talking about rhis

nice little project to add tons more space, thanks for posting

[@januarymorris9087]

I appreciate you doing a separate video on the staircase!

[@envy425]

This build quality is so high. I would love working with this guy.

[@davidcobb7446]

I like all the cord less/hose less power tools. Reduce trip hazards, tangled mess of cords etc. Plus the $ cost of replacing or repairing damaged cords and hoses. Anyhoo another great build by you guys.

[@tylerboone2786]

What a satisfying project 👌🏼

[@Dillon-Cawthon]

Been waiting on a video of you guys building a mezzanine, awesome

Hey young guys nice job I’ve been in the trades 34;years little advice where good knee pads now you’ll be glad you did 30 years later

Kyle the mezzanine makes an already amazing shop perfect! I am sure your client is thrilled with how his building turned out!

[@Kam-Dios-]

Super kool!

[@bobfuller9159]

Love watching you guys put up the buildings, mostly because of your attention to detail and it's obvious that you take pride in your work. Keep up the good work. also like to see the interior finishing when you do it and the completed buildings even if you don't do all the inside work.

Ha thanks mam

[@rickjames302]

i'm late to the party, to answer your question..jealousy.

[@EcoMouseChannel]

This is timely... I'm currently building out a mezzanine for my shop. But after watching all of this, I'm glad I chose to build it out of steel.

[@user-hd8ej8yx9p]

Why

[@EcoMouseChannel]

@@user-hd8ej8yx9p Steel is forever, I can store heavy and functional equipment on the top. Plus it was actually pretty fast to make from scratch. The stairs were the only thing that took the most individual time out of the whole project.

[@mysteriousknowledgetexts9809]

did you save on labor cost or did the materials catch up? how much space is yours taking up, looking to build a second floor.

[@EcoMouseChannel]

@@mysteriousknowledgetexts9809 I ended up going with steel pallet racking as my base legs. I saved tons of money, plus I can literally store tons on top. I did in fact make a stair case out of steel tubing, tread plate etc. I have about 420 sq ft. And with every two sections of pallet rack I add, I can increase the floor space by 210 sq ft. I made the decking out of two layers of opposite stacked 4x8 heavy duty plywood, screwed to a steel ladder frame that I lifted in place with a forklift into three sections that I was able to bolt together once laid on top of the pallet racking. The whole project only cost me $1800 for everything.

[@blixxy1320]

@@EcoMouseChannel not to mention it won't get squeaky over time. currently living in a townhouse and the stairs and upper floor are so noisy to the point it gets on my nerves.

[@troylane4781]

Kyle, if I EVER win the lottery YOU will build my dream barn! You do EXCELLENT work brother! Love your videos
