[@SBSR49]

Excellent craftmanship, well thought out . I built one 16 X 12 .Mine was for more of a work shop. Still nice size, BUT ,after the tables were built and tools brought in , wished I'd built it alot larger. Even 16 X 24 .No room to store 48" lawn mower .

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

I completely understand. I think I will always want a bigger shed or workshop :) We built the biggest shed we could build without needing to mess with permits. It's also the biggest shed we could put in the area we had available. If we run out of room we'll sell some stuff. LOL

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

You're right, working on that project at the moment. Thanks!

[@xAnAngelOfDeathx]

I would highly suggest putting at least 2 cross ties on the rafters to help prevent the walls from spreading outward, especially if you live in a region with any kind of snow load.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thanks for the suggestion but I won't have any issues with the walls spreading outward, I did this instead. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHvIinZjZsmjl9U

And just think:If you built one of these babies, with a bit of indoor work, you could have a rental place for someone to live in. That's more money in your pocket!

[@davekolp4552]

Are the rafters not supposed to be over wall studs? Double 2x4 over top of wall is for side stability, not roof support.

[@ryanbowling1654]

These guys aren't professional. A 12x16 is 6h build

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Ryan Bowling - You're right, we are not professionals. We are DIYers and we built it ourselves. We weren't interested in paying more than twice the price for a shed that was slapped together in a half a day. It takes time to build it right.

[@kisshomaru]

This is one of the best videos I've seen on building a shed. Did you work from some plans that you can share by any chance?

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thank you! We just designed it as we built it so we didn't use any plans.

[@terrytytula]

Great video, my only concern is rot and wind. I was planning to build mine on a concrete pad to get it off the ground. The second thing is storms, where I live high winds have lifted unsecured sheds like yours and deposited them on the street.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Good points, you definitely should build to suit your local weather conditions. Maybe some hurricane straps for the high winds.

[@omolina91]

Fantastic job guys, simple n straight to the point 🏆✌🏼🍻

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thank you and thanks for stopping by! 👍

[@trxtech3010]

I don't mean to be that guy however.... I wouldn't set it directly on the ground treated lumber or not. Also that Vapor Barrier is just going to trap mouster under the frame and grow tons of black mold also critters are going to biuld and nest under that. Over all great job. I would have did the floor differently is all. 👍🏻 BUT it Looks good once again.

[@godsholiness33]

I have a question will your shed foundation hold up for a long time without the concrete or do you need to even pour concrete for the way you're doing it?

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

We used treated lumber for the shed floor / foundation and it's on a bed of gravel for good drainage. We also have good venting under the shed floor to provide air flow under the shed. In addition to all of that, we live in a "high desert" environment so we don't have a lot of moisture where we live. Moisture is what rots wood. We believe this floor will last many many years without an issue of rot. All these factors will determine if a concrete floor is better for your situation.

[@bybryanwhite]

Great question and response!

[@krakenwoodfloorservicemcma5975]

you can use solid 4" blocks too, It will allow ventilation underneath. they are pretty stable and wont move.

[@abacuordonez3097]

Nice. Job

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@sirspends-a-lot2861]

7:13 What did you put to join the top and bottom outside shell? (blue strip) 9:25 did you repeat a DIY truss on the outside of the wall with same wood also? - Did you just paint the fascia or did you do aluminum? The corner of the building. What type and size of trim board did you use out here? 8:33 did you do a roof vent the whole length or just 4ft in the center? Perfect video, just needs a little more parts list.

[@ThingEngineer]

Awesome build! I’m guessing you don’t have wasps there? Leaving the soffit open like that seems like a risk.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thanks Josh! Oh yes we have a lot of wasps here. I completely agree with you on the open soffits. That is one of my next projects before spring arrives. I'm going to use metal window screen to fabricate some soffit vents on this shed.

i love this but have questions about the foundation why did you dig up ground and just cover it back up and if you wanted windows do you make them after the build? how do you add electricity for lighting

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

I dug a trench to fill with gravel under each skid. This will help wick away water from the foundation skids. You can install windows at any time but the best time is while you are building the shed. There are many options for installing electricity and lighting. I'm using an off grid solar power system for my build. You can see my "Off Grid Workshop Build" videos in the playlist link below. I have some videos on solar power and off grid lighting in this playlist. kzbin.info/aero/PLC_QVs9y_q3sAMyeyEhlJyCNSbfrvDSaq
