I don't care if it makes me sound like a completely incompetent dork but that plan for building the doors just blew me away. What an awesome project. Going over to subscribe right now.

[@EverydayShed]

Awesome! I glad you found the doors build interesting

[@blankenmom]

Watching this for a generator cover and for a place for large deliveries. Thank you!

[@EverydayShed]

Great point! yes, lets keep those deliveries safe.

[@ericfrancis7816]

Your timing is excellent. This is exactly what we've been talking about making. Thanks to you both!

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

You bet, best of luck on the project!

[@bertan8510]

I love the idea!! I need a small shed in my backyard for my veggie garden equipment. I will build one at some point. However, I do not feel comfortable with skill saws. I may buy a small Project DIY razor saws or try and use a hand saw, which would probably take me forever

[@EverydayShed]

It will take more time for sure, but these fence boards are pretty soft, you can do it. Good luck!

[@elliottsmith3632]

Something I just recently found out about pressure treated lumber. There is 2 types. One for ground contact and the other not for ground contact. Check those tags. The ones touching the ground need to be rated for ground contact or they will rot quickly.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Agreed 👍

[@DaHaiZhu]

I would slope the roof to the back instead of the front. You don't want a puddle and erosion in front the the shed making it harder to get the trash bins in and out. And it also allows the doors to be taller which makes it easier to get the bins in and out. The only time I'd want it sloping forward is if I was putting up against a wall. In that case you don't want rain water running down behind.

[@EverydayShed]

Great point! I agree that is a great alternative version to this… thanks!

[@thelittlebrownranch9105]

That's my thoughts too. As another alternative, I built a garden shed that sloped to the side so I could catch the rainwater.

[@EverydayShed]

@@thelittlebrownranch9105 We have a garden shed in the works... Stay tuned! I loved the catch water idea, will use that. Thanks!

[@luvnotvideos]

Nice shed! But wouldn't it be better to have the slope point towards the back of the shed so when it rains water isn't pouring down on YOU as you open the doors?

[@EverydayShed]

Yes! Actually couple folks pointed that out… I’ll work on a new updated build to incorporate everyone feedback. Thanks for the comment!

[@allegory7638]

And if you live where I live, you get to install ground anchors so a hurricane doesn't turn it into a battering ram for some house or vehicle.

[@EverydayShed]

Yes!!! There are places where we need to tie this down.

[@mpxz999]

Awesome idea! Great video! Could i make this, but half as tall, for storing lawn mowers outside during winter? Or... Should (gas) lawn mowers be stored in a heated garage?

[@cardo1111]

Looks like you can rest a 4' X 8' sheet of plywood nicely atop that Cybertruck on the street.

[@CantankerousDave]

It would probably cause that HomerTruck to explode.

[@EverydayShed]

Haha😂

[@marklundeberg7006]

Isn't it a bit short? How do you lift the lid to pop a small bag in there without pulling the whole bin out?

[@EverydayShed]

The “roof” does pivot upwards.

[@anneoreilly4900]

​​@@EverydayShedbut if the garbage can handle is facing you, then you can't access the garage lid when pivoting the shed lid. This shed hides the cans and it's easy to build but a pain in the @ss to use.

[@norrinradd8952]

Store the trashcan open?

[@cobuck4007]

@@anneoreilly4900maybe it would have been good to put the doors on the back of the shed.

[@preluded]

@@anneoreilly4900you put it in the handle backwards, like all the sheds like this.

[@zekenzy6486]

Great video. Thank you for sharing

[@EverydayShed]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@christosv2291]

Great Video sir!

[@EverydayShed]

Awesome! I’m glad you liked it!

[@bustex1]

surprised about the door. My 2x4 wood treated gate seems to expand and contract during the changing of the seasons and I can imagine this door may be getting difficult to open and close in the near future. Rebuilt the gate and left half an inch for expansion since the old gate just rubbed and hit the post on the latching side.

[@EverydayShed]

I would say, you can run the circular saw in between the doors again if that does help.

[@CannibalSheepQc]

good stuff

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

🙋‍♂️ thanks SCOTT💚💚🤗💚

[@EverydayShed]

Scott is the best!!!

[@CannibalSheepQc]

@5:55 oddly satisfying

[@justicator]

Would you recommend storing some of my outdoor lawn equipment like my 40v snowblower and lawn mower in there?

[@EverydayShed]

For sure! If you prefer, you could button up the fence board up to each other. That way you protect your equipment from the rain.

[@michaelhale1666]

Generator cover with built in air flow.

[@EverydayShed]

Yes! This would make a nice little generator house. Great idea.

[@lyndawest7662]

So awesome!

[@EverydayShed]

I’m glad you like it! 👍

[@utubeCENSORSaregai]

Thank you

[@EverydayShed]

You are welcome!

[@1959mikel]

I like the look and simplicity but I think you’ll have problems with the doors after one season. Couple of reasons but the main one, your door gap is simply the saw kerf, which is probably 1/8” at most. I can’t see that being maintained outside for long. The platform will shift slightly with time since it’s not on concrete and the frame will shift because of that and because the wood will dry etc., eventually I would guess the gates will sag with time and bind. Even if the frame is stable the gates will sag eventually because you don’t have any cross members, 1/8” gap is not enough for outdoor gates imo, but maybe I’m wrong, either way it can easily be modified and it’s a great build.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

I agree, the gap is not big enough to avoid interference for more than a few weeks or month as the pressure-treated wood dries out. Another pass with the Skillsaw could open things up a bit.

[@CantankerousDave]

Should a wood structure be sitting right up against those electrical boxes?

[@EverydayShed]

They are old att phone lines.

[@larrycase2762]

⁠@@EverydayShedthey may be old but still active and may need to be entered by a phone employee. That will be difficult.

[@EverydayShed]

@@larrycase2762great point, I didn’t think on that.

[@Greg8872]

would be cool to make it so you put the cans in with the front facing "back" of the shed, and then have steeper sloped roof and put hinged doors so you can push them open, lift the lid, and toss in a trash bag.

[@EverydayShed]

Great idea, I am actually going to use that in future builds… thanks

[@bababooey1266]

I built one and have been living in it as a tiny home for a few months. Getting a little stinky just before trash day but nothing different than inside my trailer.

[@peterpowers4851]

But there is already a silver metal dumpster sitting in the street. Just use that instead of the trash cans!

[@EverydayShed]

😆

[@terulien]

Obviously belongs to someone else.

[@mjc0961]

0:00 - hey look, two garbage cans and a dumpster in the background

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

😂 stainless steel dumpster

[@Iprpfjd]

[@chriswkbrd]

Nice, easy shed but looks like a spider & wasp condo...

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Could turn into a little habitat 🙂

[@traceyrobinson8059]

Anyone else sees the cybertruck?

[@EverydayShed]

😀

[@williamchurch614]

You put it waay too close to those utilities boxes. Since your shed structure is in the 10' common area near the street, if the city or utilities companies need to dig there to do repairs or upgrades, your shed would be right in the way and they would make you move it.

[@EverydayShed]

Yes, another viewer mentioned the same thing. I did not know... thanks for watching.

[@divemanred]

Deck boards should he smile up not frown down. You should correct this people will be building their decks wrong

[@miamited69]

Not the best idea to build it so close to the utilities.

[@petemurray2062]

He was right, why slant the roof toward the front. Its right up there with buying a Tesla Cybertruck that is ugly for 93K and doesn't meet the 350 miles on a charge. Car and Driver can only get 240 miles. Good luck on a resale. Sorry Bro. It is still ugly.

[@EverydayShed]

for sure, next iterations we will design one with the roof backwards, great point.

[@kenovryn]

No one likes the fool who makes taking the icky task of taking out the garbage decidedly more difficult. This shed adds two more dirty surfaces to touch. And requires some real muscle. Kids suddenly will have a legitimate excuse because they can't drag full bins in or out of the structure. There will be puddles of mud and ruts and a difficult, uneven drop where the bins fall out. Imagine all this in rain and snow!

[@EverydayShed]

I can see your point.

[@kenovryn]

How to make taking out the garbage an ordeal every time! This is a dreadful design.

[@EverydayShed]

Hahaha… no one likes taking the garbage out… 😂
