Let's Build a Brick Shed | Let's Build

[@laurieclarkson9180]

Beautiful! Here in the U.S. you don't see brick sheds and actually, we don't have too many brick homes unless they're older construction but I really like the look of bricks! Well done!

[@DHClips325]

I've always wondered what's the logic behind building timber houses in the US.

[@Duck_Destroyer_88]

​@@DHClips325 Lumber is cheap, and cheap to work with, and cheap to transport. Also, it's easy to fix or ignore mistakes that are inevitably made due to people opting for cheap labor.

[@regiondeltas]

Appreciate the honesty here - I was just looking for design inspiration but I enjoyed the video. I DIY built a small house extension, and it's shocking how the costs add up and it's beyond frustrating to see this crap on TV where people claim to have built everything for a packet of sweets and spare change. To be honest, for a long time I thought I'd made a mistake and wasn't financially prudent enough, but this video has made me feel better. At least I saved on the labour!

[@chrismoore2971]

Mate this is sick. Wouold love to have you build my shed! This looks so nicely done. Nice one!

[@giotto4321]

Nicely done, your brick construction is so much better than the horrible, badly fabricated timber units you can buy off the shelf and will be much more robust. I'm very jealous! 😅

[@danielleharrison4691]

Its a lovely shed! Great job on saving those tiles, adds so much character. Would love to see more of the property! The brick work around the workshop doors was lovely also.

[@nach0vidal]

£11,600... Would be worth every penny. Thank you for sharing!

[@SB-io6es]

I've been quoted 24k for a brick shed, including the foundation (slightly bigger in size). I'm glad I saw this video before I went ahead.

[@suv2w]

Inspiring to see someone so skilled and self sufficient

I've decided I dont need a brick shed to store a watering can and a few plant pots in after all

[@devinaglass381]

Is it that hard lol 😂

Some of this is optional though. You don’t need electricity.

This shed looks better than the house I live in.

[@stephentuthill4598]

Thank you for such a quality piece of education. As someone who is currently studying to enter the construction trade this information is invaluable, and the way you presented it is so very helpful.

[@MrPeebly]

A beautiful shed. Great video, really informative. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimmysrealcooking554]

Very helpful. I have the bricks snd thought that would make it cheap. Your splendid video explains why it’s more complicated.

[@paulorr9262]

The brick shed looks gorgeous.

[@marcinstein7405]

What a beautiful shed! Nice job!

[@baldoyler007]

Thanks for explaining the cost. I had planned on building a brick shed. But after watching this. Ill go the cheaper option and buy a ready made steel one. Other wise it would take me a long time to finish with cost being a problem. And sacrificing a few holidays 🤣 apreciate it thank you and the man cave. I'll bet mine one day 👍 all the best

[@DerekOfRivia]

Id love to build something similar to live it.

[@ImperfectionistGaming]

bloody good work. Looks a beauty

[@darrenscott1111]

Fantastic shed sir!

[@cr-ew8od]

Nice outside sink love that.

[@user-nh3gu1ge3d]

If you could throw a small bathroom on the other side of the existing wall with a door in the "shed" then you've got a tiny house. Add a mini-split and you're done. For 20 grand you could have an amazing studio type "cottage". It looks fantastic, great job!

[@MrHeyhomes]

I built my dad's cabin which is larger than his shed for £900 in 2011. I saved on window and door as we had those, I build the door frame from reclaimed wood and used the cheapest materials possible wood frame/osb and a solid concrete floor. It's still standing and looks great it's used for a gym. With that said this brick shed looks awesome and adds tons of value to the property. If you are on a tight budget you need to save cost then osb is really the only option unless you like that metal sheet stuff.

[@REDGRIFFIN100]

Did you clad the OSB with anything?

[@MrHeyhomes]

@@REDGRIFFIN100 No I just used osb, with good overhang from the roof it protects it well. Wood preservative used and bituman roof adhesive painted on the ends of each osb board to stop water soaking in.

[@Tom-q6h2c]

Did my garden room out of brick for around £6000 4mx5m and 2.4m high. Got lucky and managed to get all the bricks, roof tiles, wood and even doors and windows from my uncle whos a property developer who so happened to have been knocking down a house. Wouldve probably been able to do it for less if i didnt insulate and sound proof it.

[@stehenson7900]

Love the shed!! What are those bricks called? It’s the kind of brick I would like for my new double garage

[@andreh.dupuis8475]

Beautiful results, nice proportions and well thought out services such as local water container and electrical outlets. Only curious to better understand the structure holding the roof, I see pillaster of more than 1 row of bricks, this must be what is holding the heavy roof. cheers from Montreal, Canada

[@tonysanto9851]

Good video that enjoyed it and lovely shed 👍

[@NukSooAL]

Tbf it is a great looking shed i’d gladly pay your price for it

[@mavram]

It would be nice to see a plan of how you mounted the roof. I'm interested in building one myself and I'm a bit confused on how you mount the roof to be stable in windy conditions. It seems you have two parallel big wooden beams the roof is standing on. However I'm not sure how they are fixed in place. How thick is the brick you used?

[@benkimber8285]

I’m a brickie and that’s tidy. New subscriber 👍🏻

[@blackmightcrash8017]

I might have missed this but the dimensions of the shed would give great context. Have a friend who's a bricky and my opening salvo of "Have you ever built a shed?" received the response "what size?" Height limit before planning required is 2.5 metres, did this come under that height or was planning permission sought? Both of these questions feed into cost of course.

[@kohtime]

As far as I’m aware the 2.5m limit is set for buildings less than 2m from a boundary. Any further from the boundary and you are then permitted to build with eaves up to 2.5m with total gable height of 4m.

[@jededge]

do your own ground work, its easy , hire a guy to dig it all out with digger for a day , he will be done in a few ours, if you have never used one ,hire cement mixer and a day labourer £120 and fill footing for brick work and floor, watch a tube vid how to do it its so easy to do, then hire a brick layer, put frames in pre bought for window and door or a nice Velux in the roof .pay him daily 3-4 days work there £600 max, hire carpenter , get him to do tiles and guttering , as long as materials ready to go 2-3 days work £450 ,electrics get an external socket on your house run it to the shed , 1 hours work for a sparky .... or get someone like Jake who knows what he is about if you can afford to, i build houses

[@jamesnagle7894]

[@foureyedflamingo]

You've got the job. Someone quoted me £4000 to make a wooden shed half the size of this one so I'd much rather have the brick shed.

[@peterknight7880]

Nice job. What square meterage did that give you?

[@austinhunter82]

That's awesome!! I appreciate the info gave me an idea of what I'm going to spend. Thanks. Also Did you custom make those gutters?? I like them.

[@kala2067]

Great content

[@11x11z11x11]

I love these type of videos, I can hire a bricky, carpenter, plumber or spark for £200 a day, so this takes 29 days to build apparently. My advice to anyone getting all encompassing build quotes, is ask for a break down, if you find a builder that will break down a quote the chances are the numbers don’t add up when you start to question labour time.

[@17MikeThompson]

Becuase the tradesman will be putting profit on top of the materials he is providing, as he/she should. Got to make a profit or there’s no point being in business.

[@11x11z11x11]

@@17MikeThompson I don’t think you understand the point I was making, getting an all encompassing quote vs getting a tradesman for each skill required on a day rate, they never add up. I’ve had loads of quotes like that, as soon as you ask for a itemised quote communication breaks down.

[@17MikeThompson]

@@11x11z11x11 no I understand but as a tradesman myself when I’m pricing a job up, for example if I pay £25 for a sheet a sheet of plywood but I have to go and pick it up in my van, I’ll charge £30 for that sheet, to cover cost of fuel/my time, just an example, t’s normal to put 20% on for the price of materials, overheads are expensive, there’s a lot of costs customers don’t see when hiring a tradesman, consumables, insurance, fuel etc. When customers ask for an itemised quote, 9/10 times they won’t like the answer. Hence why builders don’t like breaking down quotes. If you’re going to get someone to carry out work for you that’s going to cost you within the £1000s you should have enough trust in them to get a quote and let them carry out the project, a good tradesman wouldn’t rip you off, just make profit 😄

[@11x11z11x11]

@@17MikeThompson I think this highlights the point at the start of the conversation.

[@PoohBear01]

@@17MikeThompson Unlike you, ripping people off. Your profit is the trade discount. Not like you'll be seen again afterwards.

[@JaredDeinlein]

How much in US money?

[@pelicanvocalsnew]

$15781.32 accurate for the time of comment however you may source the materials at a cheaper rate as manufacturing could cost lest depending on demand and abundance of recorces also could cost more due to the same factor thats with labour cost not just materials however so divide by half if looking just for materials of an identical shed however you could change the materials and make it more cost efficient hope this comment helps

[@danthediggerman8459]

11k thats abit over priced like u said your self 5800 sounds more like it but could of done simular for cheaper
