I like your shed and you can use those boards on the inside for shelves . That's what I'm building right now is pallet shed, but first I put down some pole beans for the corners and Boards right on the ground. Oh I got Christmas lights too That's very cool.love the doors

[@user-vs5kn6wv1z]

There are 4x8 sheets of outdoor paneling Ive used for outdoor projects if someone wants to save time from putting on siding. The build is inspiring.

[@scootersonlyrepair6773]

Are they free? That's not going to help the $20 shed build

[@anya6498]

the best I've seen PALLETS ROCK!!

[@holmesgirlclassics6664]

I Love it! I have pallets and I will get more and this is why. Originally, that wasn't my plan. But now, I am going to build my shed in pallets! Incredible!!!! Beautiful!!!!

[@OlvOyl4383]

A great video! I now have a simple plan on how to build a new shed for our back yard and get rid of the junk one we have now! I love how you guys work as a team!! loved seeing it and your wife is beautiful and wonderful !!

[@Adam-hb6go]

Awesome, love the time lapse

[@fliplucky8813]

Appreciate the video. Looks good.

[@nopro5433]

Thanks great method May use this for my bottom portion of truck bed camper conversion could insulate as well👍🏻👍🏻

[@stanhope1353]

Great job guys, I'm thinking of doing something along those lines.

[@redshorse]

Excellent !

[@plattbgood]

Awesome build! And a thank u for sharing, The rafters (slant cut technique) as I'm calling it, will work perfect on my next build. It was the missing piece to the puzzel. Keep the videos coming😎👍

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

I'm glad you enjoyed that technique haha, it's actually something the wife suggested and I'm glad that's how we used it.

[@TARWERG]

Good job . it looks good

[@richardroyles1423]

Looking good. Kansas

[@kellyannflanagansmythe82]

Great Video and Great Job on the shed. I am definitely going to have to check out your other videos. Looking forward to them and more from you. I'm impressed not only with your skills for building from scrap and pallet wood but also for how well you film and edit your videos. Great job in both arenas! the only request i would make is a little more close-ups on some things such as when you assembled the shed doors. I'm in the business myself, but others may need more close-up visuals if they've never built a barn style door before. Awesome work in all respects. You have garnered another subscriber to boot. Happy New Year to you and the Mrs.

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Thanks for the awesome comment! I will definitely take that advise into consideration in the future! Happy New Year!

[@normamead4511]

I like your shed 🏡😊❤️🐶😺

[@josephpacheco7508]

Get you some hooks and hang the bikes against the back wall. Give you more floor space.

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Good idea! I need to clean out this shed, and do some organizing for sure. It has collected a bit more things since this video as well

[@josephpacheco7508]

@@DoubleBitsWorkshop if you loosen the handle bar stem and turn them in line with the front wheel, they hang better too.

[@judinereed2482]

Good job

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Thanks

[@justcarry-ontraveldiy8739]

I think I have watched your video here about 30 times I am going to attempt to build my shed like yours I have watched many videos, and I like your idea the best. But my pallets are different than yours so I will have to compensate. I am excited to see how it turns out hopefully as good as yours!!!

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

You can do it! I hope it turns out well for you! Thank you for watching :)

[@dhorsdaily8208]

Nice🥰

[@julieb9215]

A couple drops of oil will fix that squeaky hinge right up! 😂 I, too, have a bare dirt yard where grass won’t grow. 😕 Early 2015 I built some planters from pallets & even lined them with plastic (with open bottom ) but they barely lasted thru the 2nd summer cuz of bugs eating them & them rotting. 😞 However I’m about to tear some pallets apart to make a small shed with a truck camper top roof. I’ll be painting ALL of the wood I use & also have it up on treated wood skids.

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Haha yes the yard needs to be dealt with. This property is on land that used to be an orchard about 50 years about and the soil is incredibly depleted. I am going to do an update soon on this little shed, since we're coming up on a year since it was built. So far though, no rot. :)

[@julieb9215]

DoubleBit's Workshop I bet if you could get a load of free wood chips & put those down with a layer of wet cardboard underneath it would greatly improve the soil within a couple of years. If not wood chips then mulched leaves. I rent where I live so I’m not too worried about my side yard that is bare dirt. But I have an area out front that drives me crazy. Prior tenants parked there which killed some of the grass & then cats started using the sand as their litter box & over time heavy rain has eroded it more & more. I can’t put wood chips out there but I can get a couple of loads of compost from the city for free & then of course my labor to spread it out. Hope to try that this winter & spread out some rye grass seeds & let it grow until spring & then spread some regular grass seeds. Hope your little shed lasts for a very long time. I know not everywhere has as many bugs as we do here.

[@ange6635]

Make dirt bike ramps🤣

[@willgreen1239]

inspired me to make my own

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

That's great! Enjoy your build!

[@azraelv8070]

The flip flops crack me up dude.

[@marciochaves3085]

Great video! Do you happen to have a video for the "wood shop", as you call it, also in your property? That also looks great!

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Thank you for your comment! I have two videos on my channel so far for it, the first is a back story on the shed/woodshop build, and the second is my most recent 2021 shop cleanup video!

[@randyjoerussell6326]

Sandals feel good on the feet when your working.that's why i where steel toe all day

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

After having my feet in boots all day for work it is definitely nice to wear sandals and air them out when I'm home. I just don't recommend it for safety reasons, I know what I'm getting in to when I don't wear protective gear when working on projects at home.

[@mrsd6allnatural]

I love it. My concern is the pallets on the ground. How will it hold up and how did you guys move it back in place? Was it heavy? Thanks for sharing.

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Thanks for your comment! The pallets on the ground have a few stones placed in the ground to help keep the structure from sinking into the ground and it helps keep the pallets from getting rotten in the soil, and we were able to push it back in place with a bit of brute strength.

[@warrenbell8874]

Hi My name is Angelique , I plan on building a shed for garden tools and i was wonder how many pallets did you use and if you have any tips i would like to hear them

[@x-con-x]

Love it,so well made. Could i ask what screws you used as in size and type please. Starting mine on Thursday as i have just collected 20 pallets. Your design is an inspiration,Thank you. New sub from me :)

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Thank you very much, and Sure! I used 4 - 5 inch long #14 screws. I had a bunch left over from when i worked construction. :-) Happy Building! You should #doublebitsworhsop or comment back with your build!

[@x-con-x]

@@DoubleBitsWorkshop Thank you. I have literally just got into woodworking/building and am a bit of a noob lol. Purchased a lot of tools over the last few weeks and am eager to get on with my first real project so cant wait! Will definitely let you know how i get on,but i doubt it will look as good as yours, i will take my time and I will be coming back to this along the way :)

[@charlenekociuba7396]

Awesome, how did you attach the walls to the floor?, Please describe or show how as I'm a novice. Thank you

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

I used 5 inch lag screws for any connecting joints. Those particular pallets have a 4 inch wood block for its main raiser and structure block, so attaching to it insures the most secure and structural spot for attaching anything to it.

[@crownlaurus2610]

Did u you use brad nails for attaching the siding?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Yes, they were harbor freight pin nails or brad nails. I find they hold the siding on just fine and it's a cheaper and faster way than using regular nails or screws

[@schretien8714]

How did you do the floor? Did you take apart the pallet and reattach the wood to fill the gaps in the pallet?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

I took the top boards off of the pallet and attached 2 x 6 boards that I had scavenged from a previous pergola that had sat in the same spot that we took down due to rotting boards. Another option if you don't have other boards to attach would be running shorter pallet boards over the top of the original pallet but perpendicular to the pallet. I hope that makes sense and answers your question!

[@dailydetail8003]

Where did you find those pallets

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

They came from my work. But you can find good pallets behind beverage distribution centers or if you need really strong pallets look behind brick yards and ask for permission. Most of the time the companies are looking to get rid of the pallets.

[@carlmartinez2465]

Great shed. What are the dimensions?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

It's about 8ft x 4ft inside

[@angelogarate7872]

What’s the black wrap you used called? I can’t get the name to mind, embarrassing I know 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Asphalt paper! I got my roll at Lowes. Its also known as roofing felt! www.lowes.com/pd/36-in-x-144-ft-432-sq-ft-Felt-Roof-Underlayment/1000622053?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-bdm-_-google-_-lia-_-103-_-rollroofingandfelt-_-1000622053-_-0&placeholder=null&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5s2MlJGS8gIVVx6tBh2krQB4EAQYAiABEgIHAPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@thea2zreviewshow962]

Hi. What did you wrap around the pallets before putting on the outer wood?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Asphalt paper, its what roofers use to keep water from getting into the plywood before laying down shingles for a house

[@thea2zreviewshow962]

@@DoubleBitsWorkshop thank you. Your videos are great, and inspiring.

[@thea2zreviewshow962]

I can't quite tell how you secure the side pallets to the base...?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Long lag screws diagonally through the pallet to the base, hope that makes sense!

[@elinoe6155]

Como junto las esquina con clavos o tornillos nunca explican

[@harutanaka3647]

holding up termite Good?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

Not a single sign of termites.. just an occasional wasp nest at the door sadly.

[@joycebowen7069]

Did you us screws to hold together.

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

I used 4 inch lag screws for connecting the pallets together, and nails/pin nails to hold the boards to the felt.

[@juliaalmoslino7407]

How do you keep it waterproof?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

The asphalt paper acts as a membrane that even with pin nails or screws seals to the screws or pin nails as they puncture it, and no water goes through it

[@deaddy57]

Now you need to make a shed to store your wood, shed3?

[@DoubleBitsWorkshop]

I've tried! The wife is 'shed'ed out!

[@rubysmith3143]

am so sorry but if my partner looked like yours i would not get any work dune

[@willplaygamesforfood]

Man I've seen better, my friend has one complete in his backyard. What a. Chump

Not hugged enough were you? 😂😂

Haha no worries! The complete one in his 'Friend's' backyard is the one filmed :D
