How to build a simple 4 'x 8' storage shed under $380 dollars

DIY affordable storage shed, build your shed under $380 dollars, this storage shed was built with minimum wood and materials, it is a strong solid shed that will last for many years. It is recommended to raise the subfloor framing so that it does not touch the ground, I didn't want to obstruct my window, that is why I had to dig a little bit to build the subfloor below ground level, pressure treated wood will last many years, however, you should raise the structure above ground level using your concrete step stones. The total cost of this project was $374.29 before taxes.

Fantastic video! Great job for a no nonsense shed...and it was good you added the vents 👍

[@NumberDZ]

Glad you liked it!

[@JRMcDowell]

Well I have 2 complaints, the first is that you dug it below grade, making for a place for water to gather and rot your floor. Second the pitch of the roof is very slight and in a heavy rain storm water will back fill and hit that window and back wall and run between the house and shed rotting that back wall. Otherwise I like the build, it is simple and easy to do, makes for a great storage place for gardening tools and stuff you need to store away for winter. I hope you take my complaints as constructive criticism, in hope to do it better in the future. I like that you added vents with a smaller mesh screen to keep bugs out and let hot air out of the shed. I also like how you did the roof, over all its a great build and design. So good job.

[@NumberDZ]

The base framing is below grade, however, there's good slope around it, the water does not pool in that area, it flows away from it. The roof pitch may not be visible in the video, however, in person you can clearly see that the front section is lower compared to the back, the rain water drains perfectly fine towards the front, we have had heavy rain and no water goes towards the back wall. Thanks for your feedback 👍 don't forget to subscribe.

[@orlandonunez5761]

@@NumberDZI have another complain , I’m not the expert this seems reasonable about how flows the water, just wondering about the guard on the grinder, that disc looks dangerous, and for sure I’ll try to do a similar shed for my backyard, would be great if you share how many material you bought for it and the kind of tools you have used, thx!

[@chinmeysway]

I don’t get why you’d do it right where there’s a cool windowBUT just gave me a great idea for a greenhouse/shed !

[@NumberDZ]

The window is not obstructed by the shed, additionally the shed is not visible from the inside looking out the window.

[@Kro_man_tx]

This would need proper siding where I live. That OSB sheeting wouldn't last long with the amount of rain we get.

[@NumberDZ]

Yes, this OSB is not very friendly with excessive rain.

[@rickinnepa9008]

You must live in a dryer warmer area. This would not work where I live. First, needs more drainage under the shed. Secondly, not nearly enough pitch to the roof. Lastly, the fiberglass roof is not sufficient for snow loads. Otherwise it's fine considering the price and care to detail used in building your lean to shed.

I hired a company to make me a big shed(electric,a/c,etc)..I asked about something like that and they told me that water will always go under the shed and water need to drain so they compacted I think about 12 inches of pea rock/I saw vids of guys placing tubes to better drain water if it gets under shed /I was advised not to do concrete pad )

I used pressure treated 2x4s for the base, it should be good for many years it also has good water drainage so the rain and moisture is not a problem. The roof is slanted, the back wall is 5 inches higher than the front, all the water drains to the front. Thanks for watching.

Home Depot sells them, look for “Polycarbonate Corrugated Roof Panel” mine are 26 inches x 12 ft.

That polycarbonate roof is available in 4x8 sheets also. And of coarse there is a price difference between the 4x8 sheets and the smaller ones. But once you buy those plastic inserts and the screws to attach the smaller ones. You end up spending more than if you just bought the 4x8 sheet.

How many degrees the roof?

[@truthknowledge7915]

You know you could've doubled the width and it only would've taken 3 more OSB sheets. Also it would've been nice to paint marine grade paint on the OSB to prevent rotting longer. But as long as you keep painting sealing it every 2 years with water sealant you should be fine.

[@NumberDZ]

I know but the space wouldn't allow me to make it bigger.

[@MyCabinLife]

Can you explain that to me? I'm a total newbie and would like something a little bit bigger and if it only adds three more sheets of plywood to it that would be awesome but wouldn't you still need more 2 * 4 for the framing?

[@truthknowledge7915]

​@@MyCabinLife yes you would need some additional 2x4's for framing but that would equal about 8-10 more. If you added on 4 ft to both front and back end, that would make the building 4 ft wider. You osb sheets are 4x8 ft so a sheet at both ends cover the frame on the sides. Your roof area only extends 4ft so a whole 3rd sheet on the extended part should cover that as long as you building is only 8ft long
