How To Build A Shed - Part 6 - Install Shed Siding

[@OmdatGamenKan]

For me, the ideas in kzbin.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

[@wind5250]

Your guides are excellent , the only change id make so far is to nail on the siding before standing up the wall .

Guys I found a website on which more then 12000 sheds plans available I am learning so much on their. the website is *WoodBlueprints. Com* all you guys should try it

[@theguyofalltrades]

Good stuff! I'm installing the siding on my 10x16 this weekend

[@Notoldfart]

Excellent, learned some things I had forgotten or did not know. And answered some lingeing questions as well. Ths site was a great find.

[@chrissimon8368]

There are many ways to rough frame walls. You could even build the walls on the shed deck, use the sheathing to square the walls, and nail the sheathing on. If the deck is square, and level then the walls will be plumb. Tack the steathing on if you have concerns but hell it's just a shed. I've designed and built a couple of sheds. I even built a pentagonal tree house, assembled the wall, and roof panels on my driveway, hoisted them up, and nailed them in place.

[@zhigangxu2007]

If your siding sheet is 4 x 8, how could you cover your walls with 0.5 inch above and below your 8 ft height studs?

[@skillsrobles]

your the only one that ive seen that says put flashing between the boards. Makes sense though.

[@jdorion3973]

thanks so much that tell me a whole lot im not a carpenter by any means this HELPS OUT ALOT take care.

I've always tried to figure out how to build a shed for my kids. I tried several plans but always got stuck along the way. I'm glad I found this Ryan's shed plans [ Go Here >>> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It has made the work become as easy and simple as I never thought it will be. Thank you Ryan!?

[@Voganes]

What siding are you using?

[@tinamagnuson9656]

Do you have any tricks for preassembling each wall including siding so they all you need to do is stand the walls upright, nail them to the floor and nail the cornets together? I currently have a 4 x 10 foot lean to that abuts next to a fence and then two of the other sides are bordered bty climbing rose bushes I don't want to harm. I can't assemble and move into place as I did the original aluminum shed as there is now a gated entrance into my side yard vehind which the shed resides. As I have a small back yard that is beautifully landscaped, I want to build a new shed with shingled siding on the same foot print but with taller walls and gabled roof as I need to increase my storage. I also want to add a small rolling library ladder accessed loft area at the back end.

[@PhrontDoor]

Is there something to add to the bottom of the siding so that the siding doesn't rot out or get wrecked over time? I am replacing siding now and the old one seemed to get brittle and almost rotted near the bottom.

[@kylewatson5133]

You can paint the siding. Also, you can use a sealant.

[@adlib8096]

Love your detailed explanation, just wonder if this kind of side cladding can stand up to the wet and rainy conditions where i live?

[@icreatablestv]

Yes if it is painted with a good paint.

[@tamerhamdy3308]

[@stevenspahr554]

i build my 8x10 the same way before seeing this except i used crown nailed for sheeting and my outside walls were 6' so the front n back so the peak went to 8' without seams and then sealed the bottom of the panels with caulk then primed n painted with oil based

[@mullinslee5959]

I built a shed with these plans from Ryan [ Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ] . The instructions were clear and easy to implement. Even a novice can be able to build fast using this plan. I'm happy I bought the plan. It also saved me much cost.

[@1977Chrisa]

If you set your rafters flush with the wall sheathing than you can cut your Gable siding to overhang the wall siding by 2 inches and than you won't need z flashing.

[@pixelblizzard3919]

Great video! How do you keep the z flashing from pulling away when it's only nailed on the very ends?

[@jonnymiskatonic]

The trim piece at top locks it in place and the nails they're installing at the bottom of that go through the z flashing.

[@Mac_Raymond]

Does something need to be added to the seams where the walls meet? caulk?

[@mpower3144]

do you need to use a osb sheating before putting on this panel. geting conflicting inputs, some people say if you dont put osb sheating the panel will warp over time., I also live in AZ, any feed back will be helpful

[@wizzlet6821]

He's probably on a budget. My understanding is that normally you do wall sheathing (osb) for structure stability, cover it in a vapor retardant (not vapor barrier) to protect that osb from rot and warping, then a siding over that in order to keep it from looking like crap and to add another protective layer. Looks like this guy just used siding as his sheathing...again, probably with the mindset of budgeting and "it's just a shed." So he's probably not worried about having to do more maintenance than normal. I'm no expert, it's just what it seems like. But the siding here is probably performing the same structural role as the osb sheathing would....its just way more prone to damage, exposed as it is. I'm more of a "quality to prevent a headache later" person, personally..rather than take shortcuts just cuz it's a shed...but it's really up to the shed owner what they want or how much they can spend

[@nukestrom5719]

As per the code, 3/8 thickness has enough structural strength for 16" oc or 5/8 for 24" oc.

[@waynepayne9875]

4:41 "This should be done after the RUFF rafters are installed and the RUFF is sheeted so that you can match the RUFF slope on the top cut."

[@trouts4444]

He mentions the work should be done "after the roof rafters and sheeting are installed". When he does the flashing before the upper sheeting you can see the rafter ends.

[@keithpowell1357]

[@nativesonya1865]

What siding is being used?

[@KINGSTONSPRIDE]

Don't you have to plum the walls before you side?

[@bryandehart670]

Is galvanized nails necessary if the OSB is covered with tyvek and then siding? I'd like to use my leftover box of coated 8d box nails.

[@icreatablestv]

You can use box nails for inside connections. The siding and trim should be installed using galvanized as it will rust.

It's called T1-11 panels or you can use LP Smartside panels, which we're putting on our 8'x8' shed this week.

[@icreatablestv]

Eric Stadig That is a great way to cut wall sheeting. It works very well when cutting out window openings too.

[@jfont228]

Hi Chris.. what is the clearance of the sheeting around the door frame? Is that 1/2 inch ? Thanks!

[@icreatablestv]

It is a 1" reveal. That makes 1/4" gap and 3/4" overlap.

what kind of gun are you using?

[@brentconley3640]

ive been told to use house wrap on the shed frame is that correct

[@icreatablestv]

Sheds typically dont have house wrap because the air inside is not conditioned, but it will not hurt.

[@AndrewDecember_]

What are we looking at for cost on this shed?

[@losttribe3001]

Depends on where you live and when you bought the materials. Prices have gone up because of Covid and Trump’s tariff war on Canada’s lumber industry. I suggest you make a list and price them out.

[@jdorion3973]

I see where you say to start the sheets 1.5 inches below the top and on the bottom to create a drip edge i call it...So chris when im putting up 8 foot walls and then siding them how do i get the sheet to be low enough to keep the water from going under the sill board i call it in the floor ...i see here u have a good drip edge but im lost as to how to make that happen on a 8 foot wall with a 8 foot tall sheet of siding...all help would be greatly appreciated thanks

[@icreatablestv]

Jd Orion Great question. The walls for this shed are framed to 6'-6" which fixes that problem. It uses a home built door. The walls will actually be 8'-1" if you use 92 5/8" studs. Many of our larger sheds use 7'-7" wall heights which allows the use of a pre-hung door with a 2x6 header and still allow the single piece of siding to be used from the top plate to below the floor sheeting.

[@leebannister3759]

If you have truely an 8 ft wall, then creating drip edge is super important. You could look at trimming out the base with some 1x4 or a drip edge.

[@psemond72]

@@icreatablestv this doesn’t really answer his question. The icreatables plans give the option for using 92 5/8 studs to have taller walls but says nothing about how to side those walls?

[@Allamericans1776]

What nails did u use to put the siding up

[@icreatablestv]

Nick Mossey 2 3/8" Galvanized nails were used for the shed siding.

Where did you get your sheet siding from?

[@lewismiller4868]

Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted

[@wind5250]

That's not plywood it's osb which isn't made for outside use , to use it you would have to house wrap it and go over it with siding . The way you built it you would have been better off with t111 pressure treated siding 5/8th or 3/4 in thickness so you can just nail it up and go.

[@icreatablestv]

The siding we used is made by Louisiana Pacific. It is an O.S.B. type material but is much more dense and uses a higher quality glue. It is designed for exterior use. The floor and roof sheeting are built with traditional O.S.B. and are protected.

[@sweettoadslovei]

I know what that is :-), its the LP Siding sold by Lowes, it's called Knotty Pine, it's actually not an OSB type, it's and MDF type material, and yes it is an exterior product. I know so some much about it because I have 12 sheets in my garage and I'm preparing to sheath my shed with it. On that note, the panels are 4x8, yet it looks like you have a larger sheet on the door opening side, since it looks like you used full sheets on the sides. what the scoop there? Great videos by the way!

[@cmf71]

No plumb and line before shear?

[@icreatablestv]

Stihl Magnum The sheet of siding is square. By aligning two of the edges of the siding up with the wall framing it makes the wall plumb along the axis of the shear. All the stud lengths must be the same lengths. and the top and bottom plates must be the same lengths. Great question.

[@brookenystrom776]

How much did this all cost? not including the tools

[@icreatablestv]

[@tinhinnh]

iCreatables where do you buy the fascia trims? i didnt see any at HD...

[@kendonsmith3536]

So, I wish you had spent a little more time talking about the types of siding. I bought the cheaper siding at Lowe's yesterday, and it appears that is the same type you are using. But my concern is that appears to be a "press board" or MDF style board that will not keep out moisture and rather could soak it up and expand over time. I went to the manufacturer site and there are a lot of warnings there about it needing to be used OVER sheathing, with moisture barrier, or kept away from moisture, which really has me worried. I think I will return it and instead go for a higher quality, pre-primed T1-11 board that has more thickness, strength, and moisture resistance. I want to be inexpensive, but these boards you used seem a bit too "cheap" and won't provide a very long lasting solution. Or am I wrong? I'm a newbie to this stuff, so feel free to enlighten me if you are willing. I appreciate it.

[@icreatablestv]

+Kendon Smith You are correct. MDF does soak up moisture more easily than plywood T1-11. But if the edges are painted so they are sealed and you use a good paint on any edge that is exposed to moisture the MDF sidings will last a very long time. Also, if you live in a high humidity area I would recommend using T1-11.

[@leebannister3759]

I thought the same thing, so I am going to paint the outside and then paint the ends, and then probably going to paint/spray the inside a white. Sealing it will help it last.

[@michaelroso6854]

What is the exact length of your studs. They cannot be 92 5/8 cause you would not be able to overhang the siding at the bottom.

[@icreatablestv]

They are 6'-2 1/2".

[@thomasolson1154]

No OSB on the walls for strength, no moisture barrier installed. I guess you want to redo this every few years.

[@drewratterman6342]

That’s a fairly ignorant statement. First off….. it’s a shed. Second strength comes from any paneling tying the wall together which helps with resisting racking in walls. Shit even drywall does that though not as good as wood sheathing. OSB is horrible when exposed to water it swells and rots bad, you wanna rip a guy you should have said plywood, and that paneling is probably pressure treated and/or coated in a water resistant finish. Haven’t seen how he’s doing the roof but l I’ll assume the soffit at the overhang would create rain proof joint eliminating any moisture getting behind the panel. No need to rip on a guy trying to help people especially when it turns out you know no better. SMH

[@thomasolson1154]

@@drewratterman6342 The fact that you think slapping some siding directly to wall studs is the way to go is ignorant. You don't know what your talking about and evidently haven't even bothered reading the directions of the siding manufacturer, but what do they know?
