@@janonthemtn Special saws? I don't know a single man, unless they live in an apartment, that doesn't have a circular saw and a miter saw. They aren't special, they're the most basic of tools. You could easily do this with just a circular saw and those are cheap. Even a good miter saw for the average home owner / wood worker is less than $300. And if you're a home owner, that will more than pay for itself. Most people don't need a table saw; I don't even use mine, and you certainly don't need one for this build.

Love the recessed cross braces.

[@slabbyrider8665]

Yea, not seen that on other builds. I'm looking at building a 16ft x 10ft and the videos I see don't put any bracing or noggins in at all. I've had visions of me putting up the sides and then watching the shed collapse to one side like a small scaffold tower with all the bracing in one direction lol (see a brickie do that then climb on and it collapsed 😆) certainly gives more confidence in its strength.

[@shadie024]

good for you finding a market for these as they are surely better than the ridiculously expensive plastic garbage you get at the big box stores but I'd be interested to see your cost breakdown. I built our shed (8' wide x 6' deep x 7' tall) from cedar, including a framed base with plywood floor, double doors and a shingled roof for less than $600 Canadian. It's also framed with 2x4s and all screwed together. Of course I'm not counting my labour but you can hardly buy one of those pre-cut packs for that price.

[@djtaylorutube]

When you put the second piece of shiplap cladding on and it didn't go full length, I thought "why didn't he use a full length? This will be terrible!" then when you offered up the cut piece and I saw that it was tongue and groove. We don't have that in the UK, at least, i've never seen it. It seems to be much more efficient than our flat ends. I'll investigate the idea of routing a tongue and groove maybe in future although suspect it would only work well with thicker cladding boards.

[@DieterSchneider]

It works very well. These boards are only 19mm. It's probably the most popular cladding here in Norway.

[@djtaylorutube]

@@DieterSchneider Interesting and yes I was thinking that 19mm would be the minimum. I did wonder if you had routed the ends yourself but clearly not.

The spacing for the studs is 24" on center which would make the shed a 4' X 8' structure and probably 6' high, which could easily be made higher if needed.

It needs to be plum, simply use a water level or hang a chalk line to mark

[@streetballplayer100]

[@DieterSchneider]

[@Mike-pj1kv]

Does it have a raised foundation? Didn't see the build for the floor. Does it neded shingles for the roof? Does it need paint?

[@Swearengen1980]

That's to be sold and delivered. The owner would place the shed however they wished. On a concrete pad or foundation blocks most likely. Unless you want it all to rot, yeah, it needs a real roof and to be sealed/painted. Shingles if you want it to match your house, personally I'd just go with tin (galvanized steel roof panels) and call it a day.

I really don't know much about the subject but I am curious how the shed does in snow because the angle of the roof doesn't seem steep enough to me. I'm guessing that in your experience it is ok - is that accurate ?

[@andriyshapovalov8886]

You could always push off the snow if needed. The slop for plumbing is 1/4 Inch per foot I believe. So anything bigger than that is good enough for a shed in my humble opinion. But obviously the steeper the better.

[@derekt7606]

Good sturdy shed. Would like a cutting list 👌

[@logmeindangit]

And I want someone to cut my steak for me. (Really, wouldn't that be nice? 😎) seriously though, a person wanting that could easily make a list of the boards used in each panel, then go to Excel and start listing them. If you want to guess at lengths, plug those in in another column, and in another column add price from the store for each raw piece. Then, in another column, add any cut notes you might want. I built two covered porches, no experience at it, just didn't know how to explain to a builder exactly what I wanted. So, I decided what size deck/floor I wanted, then the depth, and made a detailed drawing of it in... VISIO! Yeah. It worked great for thst, but was only 2D, so I had to draw each view as a new drawing. But I used supports thst were to code for beams and joists and really rigid roof rafters. Measuring the real dimensions of 1x4 cedar boards for the deck, I made one in Visio, width and lengrh, then created an "array" to make all of them, at the proper spacing. ( laid out on the drawing with a small gap between them ) Doing all that enabled me to make a complete materials list, including screws and other hardware, very clearly. I even laid out the plywood sheets for a pitched roof using Visio. I first made a front view, then used the measuring tool to see how long each side was to the end of the eave, and then figured out 4x8 sheet placement so I knew where the smallest pieces would be. Those I placed along the ridge, which in my case were long strips about 14" wide (long edge at the ridge). I was even able to lay out the steps, including rise, run, stringers, and even how to attach them, using that drawing program. Then it was jist a matter of counting (manually) each piece of each type, and listing it in Excel. That let me do my shopping a LOT more easily than what it seemed like I was facing at first. It took a long time, but I have t porches now that look great, and 18 years later, are durable and should outlive me by many decades. For appearance, I chose an A-frame pitch roof in front that matched the roofline of the house, and put composition roofing on it, like the house had. I had the company who reroofed my house back then leave me enough to do the front porch roof, too, when I got to that project. It took about 2-3 months to ger the porches done after the roofer did the house. In back, I chose a shed roof, and used painted steel roofing, because I wanted rain runoff to go away from the house, and metal for longevity of the roof, since it is mossy back there. Each "covered deck" is 8x16' with over a foot of overhang on the roof eaves. Northwest style, ample eaves, because we get a lot of rain. Not like California. Sorry to go on so long, but it's what I did for a materials and cut list.

[@Swearengen1980]

@@logmeindangit How did you type all that without getting half way through and wondering, "does anyone have any common sense?

[@blitzkriegdesign]

Can you post a parts list and your cost?

[@logmeindangit]

First, thank you for sharing your design, methods and work. The diagonal strips for rigidity were excellent. Good job, sir. That said, I know this is "just" a shed, not a structure that will be heated and lived in, but I would recommend anyone using exterior siding boards, like we see used here, put 2 nails at each stud, about a quarter (to a third) of the board width in from the edges. Time warp is not just science fiction, it happens to boards, too. I always follow this 2-nails rule with lap siding like this because any gaps that appear later as the wood ages and relaxes could be places for bugs to enter, and for the "wicked winds of winter" to weave their way inside. Also, it would be nice to see narration or text added to describe the main things like outer dimensions of the completed build, or of the 2x structure. Thanks! Peace and profits to you, sir!

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks for your input, but two nails in this type of siding is wrong. The building code says one, and the manufactureres says one.

[@logmeindangit]

@@DieterSchneider - Fine. But not "wrong" - just "more than minimally required."

[@DieterSchneider]

​@@logmeindangit It's wrong and it's a waste of time and nails because it has no function (and it increases the risk of cracking). Every house in Norway built with this siding (and that's many) does it this way. It's not my personal opinion, it's the building codes.

[@jamesjohnson6239]

I like it overall. Shouldnt you have hidden the nails on the shiplap siding ? What's up with the roof ? shingles ? Thanks for the video

[@DieterSchneider]

No, the purpose of nailing it like this is to make sure the board below is tight. A lot of people think that the nails should be hidden but that would result in a very weak siding. I follow the manufacturer's recommendations (and Norwegian building standards). Every house with this type of siding has it nailed like this. The roof had to be finished when mounting it at the customer's place.
