OMG, watching this mans techniques, I literally built a 10x12 Lean shed with 2 windows, the only thing I have to do is construct 2 doors now...it cost me about $1,200 so far, but I was able to get all my yard stuff in it during the winter without the use of covering it with tarps, I only used the tarp for where the opening of where the door will be installed...I Thank you brother , Peace and Blessings to you...God is Good.

Hey I also build a 10/12 shed and spent 1250$ Nice DallasCityOfChampions

If You Want To Build A Reliable Shed, You Need Knowledge of Foundations, Piling, Planning and More ... So I'm giving you a comprehensive "how-to" guide on the basics of woodworking. Go here ==> *WoodBlueprints. Com*

[@ghe426]

Are yo u fuckin kidding me iv'e tried for hours and can't figure it out!!!

[@mpower3144]

it would nice if you gave some measurement as an e.g , like door opening, door frame width /length etc

[@FosterFarmsOk]

Why no internal rail in the middle that would match the trim piece?

[@jbeech01]

Because it means you can’t take anything wide through the door, negating the point of a double door.

[@cstoney04]

In video 5 we're told, "the door trim is installed flush with the edge of the siding that is held back 1" from the door opening framing", yet in this video the side and top overhangs are 1 1/4". Did I miss something?

[@icreatablestv]

The edge of the door frame is 1/2" smaller than the door opening to allow the door to freely close without pinching and if there is anything that is not square. This means that the door frame is 1 1/2" from the siding and trim. We allow for a 1/4" gap around the edge of the door to allow the door to close without pinching. This leaves 1 1/4" for the overhangs. Thanks for the great question.

[@cyance8703]

Took me 5 hours. This is one "SOLID" door. Oh my, it is a horse, but I used $3.00 6" hinges from HD and it swings like it is on oil. The door really looks sharp. I made my door 1" longer at the bottom for overhang and it looks fine. Otherwise I followed the instructions on this video to the exact letter (I just had to build one door not two). One hint. I used a 2x4 that was a little bowed as one of the side supports. This was a mistake as the door is slightly bowed and not flush at the top. If you think that it won't matter - IT WILL. Over all the door looks and FEELS great. I am very pleased. Be careful when siding the shed on front to leave enough material for the door or you will have to buy another T1-11 4" center or 12" centered sheet at $35.00 a pc. Paint your trim on your doors and trimmed door way before you hang and then your hinges won't be a pain to paint or stain around.

[@turdsandwicher]

I am in the process of making doors. I made mine 2.5'' longer at the bottom. Haven't hung them yet. Now I am thinking it is too long because I need to build a ramp aswell. Will leave too big of a bump to ride things over. What do you think?

[@ahmedbettioui8876]

Thanks for the video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one off guide for building better sheds and woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.

So...my plans call for 2 doors 30"x80". My rough opening is 62.5"W x 82.5"H. I'm confused about the size of the overhang on the hinge sides. Won't the overlap be too much to open the doors? I'm guessing my secondary door will have the same width outer plywood as the 30"x80" 2x4 frame and shifted over to the hinge side by 1.25" and then + 2.5" bigger on the height for 1.25" overhang top and bottom. Right? And then the primary door will have the 30"x80" 2x4 frame (same as the other one) with the outer plywood center overhang of 1.5" and hinge side overhang of 1.25" and then the 82.5" height for a 1.25" overhang on the upper and lower ends. Right? How does that not hang up on the hinge side? Your videos are fantastic, by the way! Thank you.

[@Rockford815]

Can I get what was the r.o. Opening that these went into to so I know what measurements to do, if that makes sense! R.O. Opening and what size you made the doors?

[@MrRlsullivanjr]

Rather than measuring offsets, I'll make some guide blocks to align the panel with the frame

[@jamescole3152]

I am trying to understand why the overhang of T111 on the side that has hinges. I don't see why it is needed.

[@bigdaddya735]

What the heck they steal Shannon from house improvements??? 😆 🤣

[@kvboyd]

Been watching a lot of shed door videos and my shed doors will be based off this video

[@chilidog73]

Anyone have an opinion on the door for a lean to? I like the double door on the side but I'm wondering if there would be more useful space to have a single door in the end. Any thing I should consider?

[@AdenKandosii]

I'm wondering the same thing

[@cyance8703]

I have completed my shed and it looks good - just like the plans. The door to this thing is unreal - when my neighbors open the door they are like what is this made of. This shed is so tight that you will appreciate the plans for it.

[@jojacobs4355]

Won’t you have any sag using an inner hollow door construction? The panel at the back of the door won’t be enough to prevent this since nothing prevents the screws from wriggling sideways a bit, or am I overlooking something?

[@jaromejacksan6934]

Thousands of lifetime projects with Woodglut plans.

[@MatthewsFabrication]

My plans didn't come with the door build plans? How can I get a copy of that?

[@davidstevensasidewayslook8831]

hasp & staples should be fix with through bolts and not screws as a security feature.

[@iamneallyons4263]

we cant get that fancy osb sheeting anywhere in the UK, total fucking ballache!

[@ghe426]

So is the doors frames a 1/2 inch smaller all around?

[@audrarasmussen5324]

bro uses Imovie 💀

[@culllaticiqsu83]

I made it with Woodglut plans!

[@richg7264]

so the inside doors should be half inch from the frame?

[@mrreason9697]

What the point having a secure lock?

[@Eastbaypisces]

couldn't i just do a single door with a overhang/reveal on one side so it goes into siding or no??

[@GeekRedux]

6:12 Bolts through would be stronger, but it's pointless anyway as long as a thief can just unscrew the hinges.

[@marvinjackson2641]

They don't make locks and hinges for 'thieves" it's to keep honest people honest. but I get your point.

[@user-gq2vn1xj2r]

Thank you. This is good. I would have used hot dip galvanized screws instead of the yellow coated screws. They look nicer with the hinges.

[@erniepick5942]

only issue i am having is when putting the doors on, the trim pieces are offset. I am having to add an additional trim piece around the shed on door opening so it is flush with the trim on the doors so i can install the hinges. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? TIA...Ernie

[@marksutton2274]

Your shed looks great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I built an 8x10 shed for my kids in my backyard earlier this year using plans I got from *WoodBlueprints. Com* Clear directions and an accurate materials list...It was great for a novice builder like myself!

[@shericreates]

This is the type of shed the previous owners built on my home. Only problem is they built a sliding door that rotted out. Wish they would hVe seen your video first. The anterior wall is rotting away so I can rebuild it and with a door like this I can utilize the space with ease! Thank you so much for sharing. I will defiantly check out your other videos!

[@joecorrie1]

My brother-in-law and I built a shed at his place and for reasons he could not explain he wanted the roof like this one, sloping to the front so we did, but I’ve always slopes them to the rear for rain run off at the back of the shed plus then a gutter is not needed off the rear, would love to hear the pros on doing it this way. Anyway great video on the build, thanks for sharing.

[@GeekRedux]

The biggest wall has the most room for storing longer or taller items instead of having a giant square hole in it.

[@mehakvatandi]

best video i have seen

[@icreatablestv]

Thanks for watching.!

[@eols2190]

Wouldn't it be easier to mount the hinge straps on the doors first (before placing the doors in the opening and adjusting the reveals) and then secure the hinge tails to the side casings?

[@commentatron]

Yes, but if G0d wanted it to be easy, he would have given you the money to hire someone else to build it.

[@stedew001]

Used this technique, but had problems. Interior panel bowed, pulling the center rail inward. The doors are not meeting squarely at the center so I can not install the lock I wanted to use. When I rebuild I will build a proper interior frame that will force the panels flat instead of the panels forcing the "frame" out of alignment.

[@setchane]

Why the 1&1/4 overhang?

[@icreatablestv]

Because the total opening is 1 1/2" and the 1 1/4" leaves a 1/4" reveal for the door not being perfect and to make it easy to fit. Thanks for the question.

[@iamneallyons4263]

@@icreatablestv exactly! always leave yourself a little bit of room to play with!

[@mrsaezs]

Very nice, but why to put a padlock if hinger are screwed for outside !

[@reggieroo02]

I was wondering the same thing. I went back and watched that section again, just to check to see if I missed something.

[@TheNutzandBoltz]

It's easier than putting in a real door handle. If someone really wants your lawn mower, they will find a way.

[@DrummerBrianAylor]

Notice that the screws being used are star pattern. They come with a special bit. It is unlikely that someone sneaking around trying to break in will have such a bit handy. Just my .02 cents worth.

[@arethusa212]

Just put a dab of jb weld in the screw heads if its that big a deal and paint over them.

[@jameshodge6193]

just what I was thunking,intruder only has to back out the hinge screws .

[@mikez9898]

It is not clear in the video the size of the rails. I have 5' wide and 7' high, what is the size of my rails should be? thanks

[@FernandoRodriguez-ds5ri]

The size of the inner panel should be one inch less than the actual size of the door opening. DallasCityOfChampions

[@RobertMills42]

Great videos, thanks a lot. Just wondering about the 1/2 osb under the door to put it up, won't that mean my door will be flush at the top with a 1/2 space at the bottom ?

[@michaeldorus7061]

on my plans, the door opening is framed to 6' 10.5" and the shed door is 6' 9.5", so with the 1/2" on the bottom there will still be 1/2" on the top

[@jasonbruns1976]

what size plywood is that for the door front and back?

[@icreatablestv]

lookintocool Hi, it is 7/16" O.S.B. on the inside panel and 1/2" T1-11 siding on the front.

[@lookintocool]

iCreatables home depot only sells 5/8 t1-11 i will have to look around, you used 2x4s for the frame correct? & 3/4 1x4 or 1x6 for the front trim? thanks for all your help. the doors are the best ive seen made so far.

[@icreatablestv]

lookintocool If you go to the contractor desk they can get thinner sheets. Yes 2x4's are for the wall and roof framing. Yes on the trim. Thanks for watching.

[@tomsoffice]

one flaw just unscrew hinges to steal everything

[@icreatablestv]

tomsoffice Good point. Using bolts on the hinges will better secure the doors if your local crook carries a star driver and cordless drill.

What are the dimensions of the doors? Is there a downloadable pdf file with the instructions for this ?

[@icreatablestv]

Hi, the plans for the doors come with most of our shed plans for free. You can also just purchase the shed doors on iCreatables.com www.icreatables.com/sheds/shed-door-plans

[@TheBpark00]

thanks a lot, this helps a ton if you have crappy kids and you don't want to deal with them, works even better on a hot day you just screw the doors shut and won't have to deal with them all day or maybe a week.

[@dlc2724]

Why did you put a lock on it?

[@rubenmadman]

All in all a great shed but why put the slope of the roof towards the front on a freestanding shed? When rain or snow comes, all will pour down in front of the doors

[@icreatablestv]

Yes that is correct. That is the way it is done if you want to build a shed up against a wall or structure.

"Remember, always use exterior polymer coated FLAT HEAD screws for all attachments"...as it zooms to close up of torx screw.
