Very nice. When we built our shed, I put steel screens under our shed before we built it. That’s to keep groundhogs, cats and whatever else out. I noticed groundhogs would dig underneath the shed of my neighbors and get inside. They showed no mercy on what was stored inside of that shed! Chain link fence works too!!

Thank you for the nice reply! Yes, one of the handy things about this type of shed is that it can be moved. We have several companies in the area with equipment and trailers designed to move sheds. 2 things I would do different though if I thought I might move it someday. One, is put an extra set of runners underneath at the same width as the trailer. (8’, I think) Two, is possibly shorten my sidewalls or flatten the peak so it’s not too tall to fit under power lines and bridges when hauling it on a trailer.

Are the 2x4 floor joists strong enough? Especially with only the 2 skid runners? I’m planning on building a 12x16 shed and was going to use three 4x4 or 4x6 skids and 2x6 joist 16 o.c. Or is that going to be way overkill? I will be putting at least 2 commercial zero turns in there over the winter.

Can you elaborate on why you snapped the chalk line for the subfloor at 48.25 inches? Just curious. Thanks for the video!
@MT_Homes
@MT_Homes 2 жыл бұрын
Welcome! The extra .25” is to ensure the subfloor never hangs past the framing in case of variation. On a shed like that I probably could’ve went exactly 48” but on houses we would always go 48.25”. That is if the subfloor measures 48” (including the tongue).

M.T. HOMES I was searching you tube for ages trying to find how to do a shed base ...but every video was for smaller sheds.... I'm building a 12 x 24 shed lol....and I found you. Excellent.. but I was expecting you to fit some centre supports of some kind...you didn't though ..so is the floor strong enough without any support through the middle ? Also... could I just build the frame on the slabs and do away with those expensive looking 6 inch runners ? Im trying to do a good job but unfortunately on a budget. Thanks mate....off to watch part 2 now.
@MT_Homes
@MT_Homes 4 жыл бұрын
Appreciate the support, sir. The main reason for the runners is to support the floor and also this type of shed is considered temporary and or movable. I wouldn’t recommend building the floor without runners for 2 reasons. 1 Is you would have to put a support under each floor joist. You would probably end up spending more in support blocking than you would save in runners. 2. Is the runners keep the shed floor off of the ground which provides air flow underneath the shed. To set the shed floor directly on the ground with no air flow could cause molding issues and high moisture from the ground could drastically reduce the life of the shed floor even though it is treated for ground contact. The shed works great for lightweight storage but moving the 2 runners out 12” and adding a third runner in the middle would be a great idea for heavier storage. Good luck!

Totally agree! I build one just like this years ago, with 2x4's and totally regretted the small savings. The center part would mildly bounce with every step on it and finally resorted to a center support after the fact, but found over time, the center mildly raised up from the weight on the outer parts of the small 2x4 joists.

This is a great job, and you can never fault a man for trying it themselves. However, I have been around sheds my whole life and a common misconception is that if you build it with skids it is portable. That is not the case and you can get into a lot of trouble transporting this building outside of your yard.

@MT_Homes
@MT_Homes 4 жыл бұрын
There’s always a chance the blocks could settle if you put a lot of weight in one area. Another good option is to put about 6” of gravel down, level it, then set the runners on that. Im not a fan of setting the runners directly on the dirt. The osb I used is water resistant. It’s called “advantech”. Lowe’S carries it. A lot of local shed companies use it. Providing you have good airflow under the shed floor it should last a long time.

Hi, been running thru your videos several times, great info gonna give it a go, one question if that’s ok, but the material lists calls for the floor joists and girth boards to be 2 inch, but when you measure the guide lines, you only measure a 1.5 inch gap, am I missing something?

I believe it is because in the US our 2x4s' girth are actually 1.5 inches (1.5" x 3.5"). They are only 2x4 in name. I think that is because the old timers used the actual dimensions of 2"x4", but when things modernized/industrialized the measurements changed and the name stayed the same.

Hi M.T. Homes. i assume that your shed finished is 12' x 24? When you do the framing do you accommodate for the thickness of the sheathing? Depending on the sheet size of sheathing, i.e. 4'x8' sheets of whatever material a person may select. For example (for my benefit), if you want a 12'x24' finished shed and my sheathing is 1/2", I would my rough framing would be 1" smaller in each direction. The benefits I assume would be that your sheathing would be full pieces for the most part. Here is the reason I ask. I would like to use your roof truss example, and I wanted to understand if your dimensions work for the framing where the actual outside of walls are 12'x24' , or just under like in this example where my rough framing would be 11'-11" x 23'-11". Sorry for the long comment... Thanks again.
@MT_Homes
@MT_Homes 4 жыл бұрын
Great question. Normally when framing walls with 1/2 or 7/16” osb I will make the framing exactly the dimensions of the build. So if I would’ve used osb on this build, the outside of the framing would be 12’x24’. But since I used 2x4 purlins I actually kept the walls in 1 1/2” on each side which means the rafters are built for 11’9” width. For 12’ width simply cut the 2 top sections of the rafter 1 5/8” longer than the measurement I had. Or add 3 3/8” to both of the bottom sections. All angles stay the same. Hope this makes sense.

Great idea for the 24' long skids / runners. If you were building on a steep grade, 24 inches over 12ft run, would it be safe/acceptable to stack 4" blocks to that height to support the runner?
@MT_Homes
@MT_Homes 4 жыл бұрын
Anything over 3 blocks (12”) high I would double up the blocks giving you a 16”x16” contact with the ground, and Cris-crossing every other layer to tie them together. Anything over 2’ high I would pour a pad to set the blocks on. I’ve seen quite a few situations where tall stacks of blocks sitting on dirt will shift over time. Just some ideas, obviously check local building codes.

Yes absolutely. The intent of a shed like this is that they are portable.

M.T. HOMES Help me out .. it’s a bit complicated ,, lol lol I’ve got 14 ‘ side to side , 2’ overhang on the existing garage which is not included in the 14’ . On the other side is the neighbors privacy fence . Our gas line runs along side the shed 18’ side next to the garage , which is why I can’t pour a cement pad . I was going to use 4 x6 x 18’ -2 on the outer edge , then 2 or 3 more thru the middle , then put the decking on top ( bracing between as well) . We don’t have a lot of room to pull it , maby 4’ then lift one end with a backhoe to move it to the side . This is “IF” they need to dig the gas line .. whew . Appreciate your in put . Thanks Jeffrey ( mouse)

This was a fantastic series, much appreciated. I think you're in a relatively cold climate, and maybe it's too soon to notice, but any concern about frost shift? Also, I noticed runners were not PT, is that just because they're not touching dirt?

@MT_Homes 4 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Most folks around here just set their sheds on the ground or on a gravel pad. I used concrete pads to give me something solid and level to build on. So far it hasn’t shifted. And yes the runners and the floor joists are all pressure treated.

Cost to build?? Do you have a material list
@MT_Homes

Materials cost was $3500. Probably be around $5000 today. I have some of the materials listed in each video description but still need to finalize a few items.

Why did you put the shed so close to the garage? What about weeds and grass growing up between the buildings?
@MT_Homes

@Aelanna 4 жыл бұрын
@@cathiwim Roundup never worked that well for me. Stuff wouldn't die all the way, or would regrow in no time. If I'm going to use a chemical herbicide I'll use Ortho Ground Clear. It kills everything and lasts about a year. But for permanency I'd probably put down a deep layer of mulch or gravel.

Would there be any reason to use treated 2x10s instead of 2x6 for the floor joists and frame?
@MT_Homes

Not on a storage shed like this. I would add a middle runner if more support was needed. Anything bigger than a 2x6 Floor joists I would build on a foundation.
