SIMPLE SHED ORGANIZING PROJECTS | Shelves, Loft, Rafters, Racks

[@LittleCabin]

Ahhh, the good old days when boards were cheap! Nice job.

[@kyleauchtung7715]

You’re telling me! I chose to clad my shed with pallet wood. Couldn’t justify the cost of plywood. Probably will replace it all eventually.

[@russgillan1834]

Found this June 2022. Your comment still applies. 😩

[@ez-g3090]

Yes. So were first dates, remember?

[@Dscivic]

No housing equals cheap wood don't know where you're at stuff went from $11 a piece down to $2.16 so not sure what you're talking about but they get your head out of your ass Woody's cheap Powell nobody's building houses anymore

[@devananderson2641]

I've watched HUNDREDS of videos like these trying to figure out how to make best use of my 8x10 shed as it's all the storage I have, period. This was the first one with solutions that could easily be done by a novice with limited space/tools/budget. The rafters blew my freaking mind, literally did not even consider it. The workbench takes up MINIMAL space. I love it. You changed my life today, and I have almost enough good hefty scrap collected to do the whole shed. So with that, I'm gonna get started. Thank you SO SO much

[@travistaber1158]

Hands down best orgaizing video on the web. Just the simplicity, cost effectiveness, you literally destroyed that shed. Man im amazed by this video literally and im OCD so i have watched thousands of these. Great video and thank you i think i have a shed to go and organize now

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks so much Travis!

[@stevekopcial129]

Took me ten minutes just to get past the view, I cant imagine looking out my back window with a view of mountains. Beautiful !!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching!

[@tom-fp2fv]

Yeah I’d get nothing done. Just end up standing on the lawn gazing 😂

[@eb9338]

Here is a man who likes his toys, awesome!

[@JeffBitler]

I really like the boards on either side of the stud for hanging tools with handles (9:12). What a great idea! Thanks Pete! Cheers from PA.

[@DIYPETE]

Hope all is well in PA Jeff! Take care man!

[@vincekline7299]

Nice job! I have two small suggestions to make life easier. First add a plywood backsplash to your work bench to keep things from rolling off in the back. Second put your snowmobile on dollies/skates to move it in and out easier. Just my two cents, nonetheless it looks great!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

[@Jkcreswell]

This video makes me want to declutter my shed and reorganize everything. What a great tutorial! Thank you for the awesome ideas! Sincerely from Cataula, Georgia!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks Jennifer, good luck with the organizing!

[@MW-fr7bx]

I’ve watched this video 4 times over the last year. One of these days I’ll get around to doing the work

[@takeniteasyfriend]

You saved me a ton of mistakes. Thanks. The double jack stud loft was my favorite. Will increase my square footage more than 33%

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear, good luck getting your she all organized!

[@johnchan6191]

Wow, gr8 shed organization design. Alot of storage space 4 all yur stuff & vehicles. Very basic & innovative. Thx 4 sharing on the internet.

[@DIYPETE]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Montana is looking nice right now!!! Great project, Pete

[@petesveen]

Thanks Brad! Hope all is well in Nashville man!

[@arizonaheatwave4080]

Nice vid Pete!! To the point and explicit enough to understand what your plan was without watching a 2 hr vid!! 👍🏻 Nice place you have man!!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks so much! I try to make the videos efficient so I don't waste your time :) Cheers!

[@nmarkose]

You’ve got nice scenery in the background with the mountain up ahead 👍

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

[@vinrob2010]

I concur! I had to rewind and rewatch just to look at the scenery and lost concentration of my original interest, being from Montana (now residing in Seattle) I instinctively sensed a familiarity about the background scenery, are you near Bozeman curiously Pete?

[@lulu9698]

The view from your backyard is amazing.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching!

[@WoodsTreeFarm]

Anything worth building is worth overbuilding is what I always say. That loft is definitely overbuilt! Should hold up great for whatever you want to throw on it. Great video

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks! Ha yeah I definitely am an over-builder too ! Built to last :) cheers!

[@capenjck]

Figure the cost of overbuilding a project like this over the course of it's lifetime, it's peanuts. You will be glad you went the extra mile.

[@Boobtube.]

he over built the loft and under built the "workbench"...

[@josephp8712]

out of all the videos this is the one that helped me the most. Thank you., I have been a homeowner for 4 years and know absolutely nothing about wood and such. still learning. I dont have a wood saw to make 45 degree cuts but ill figure it out

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear, best of luck!

[@jolivette313]

My shed is half the size but your video inspired me to maximize the storage space. Thanks so much for making this video.

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear Paul!

[@aaronmoore7315]

Great video! I made the loft and the workbench for our new shed. It took the better part of the day, but a lot of it was going back and forth to Home Depot. I never plan accordingly. Thanks for the simple design.

[@jeff5951]

Just bought a new place! Saved your video for some good références. Thanks

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear!

[@finngenuity8076]

awesome idea!!! If I can get my children to clean out my barn -- 12x20 that already has a loft... I NEED THIS!! thank you

[@danyabunsie9596]

You gave me ideas for 10x12 shed and my garage!! Great work!!

[@joymagnah4854]

Loved the video. I like seeing peoples little tricks for doing something. I saw several "now why didn't I think of that" moments.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching!

[@tinkermouse-scottrussell3738]

I now know what I will be doing this weekend, I will be copying some of your projects for my shed thanks for taking the time to share this one with us it may have been trivial to you at the time but this one helped me considerably. Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear Scott! Hope things are well up in Ontario. Cheers!

[@RB66_]

Pete, I just finished copying your ideas for my shed on a smaller scale. I have almost 0 skills as a carpenter but you made it easy to follow and copy. It came out great and I have so much more room now. I can now move some small yard machines into the shed from the garage. Thanks for a great video from the Hudson Valley, NY. Subscribed!

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear Rune! Thank you for subscribing too, stay safe and healthy out there in Hudson Valley! Cheers

[@nerdbanshee246]

This gave me some good ideas for my shed. I really like how you added 2x4's to hold your hand tools and create shelves inside the studs. Pretty clever. Thanks!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching!

[@holdemNE1]

Very enjoyable video, thanks for posting. You made it look simple......I'm sure most of us can appreciate how much work went into this. Plus the OCD side of me really enjoys the organization. Well done.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks so much Big Mike!

[@davidmiracle398]

Nice! A couple of coats of sprayed flat white paint would help a lot to allow some natural light in the shed.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks David!

[@ludlowfalls8856]

Looks great! The view of the mountains is great!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

[@KomarProject]

Great video brother. Now it’s time for me to organize the garage

[@DIYPETE]

Awesome! Good luck!

[@cfrayre6572]

That is one of the nicest organize sheds I have seen. Thanks for sharing

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching!

[@bpmiller87]

"Because the boards were cheap" 2021 has entered the chat.

[@arthartwell6628]

I would add 3 supports for your work bench at a 45 anchoring it to the wall(2x4). Good video !!!

[@UncleFester2240]

I concur with that idea because, since when does a workbench EVER have a lot on it? They end up being "stuff magnets" and before you know it, you hear that creaking/tearing sound and CRASH. ;)

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks! Yeah I'm going to add a few supports when I get around to it. Cheers!

[@Livereater]

excellent attention to detail... shed is at maximum use once you added the extra features

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks! Yep it is definitely able to accommodate everything now and it made such a difference. Hope all is well!

[@jthomashnick]

Great add would be a 4X8 sheet of peg board above your bench to hang a few essentials. Love the space and the view!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

[@sunjaybedi4389]

Thanks for the tips, great ideas. Well presented, makes me think I can do it too. First I’ll need a shed, just sold our old place with a 16 by 10 shed... thanks again, appreciate the effort

[@michaelgarcia5181]

Love this video, I watch it over and over again and keep building and adding stuff to my shed. Thanks for sharing this, these tips were priceless to me. 😃❤️

[@DIYPETE]

Glad it was helpful!

[@garyhickey4789]

Pegboard above the work table would be great for hanging small hand tools for easy access.

[@DIYPETE]

Great idea Gary, thanks!

[@jay-rus4437]

Been working on organizing our 900sf shop, but this next week we jump into our lawn shed for some organization. Going to use these methods for ours. Simple, fast, effective

[@DIYPETE]

Awesome Justin, good luck!

[@mmezameza1891]

Very nice, I have a shed and I did something similar and it freed up a lot of space. Thanks for sharing. And beautiful country living

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

[@stackshouse]

Go onto Amazon and buy a snowmobile dolly, it's a set of three dollies, one for each ski and one for the track. It will make moving the sled around in the building a breeze. I just purchased one for mine and it's made moving it around so.much easier.

[@DIYPETE]

Great idea! Just ordered these ones thanks to your recommendation, thanks! amzn.to/2WqshkB

[@stackshouse]

I like the straps for the skis, mine skipped off once per side. I'll definitely modify mine to do something similar to that

[@Uncle_Buzz]

Some really great, simple, cheap ideas Pete...very nice! Cheers! Chris.

[@DIYPETE]

Always great to hear from you Chris, thanks!

[@IAmAFixer]

Great project, thanks for sharing. It’s amazing of much extra space the rafters add!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks so much! Yeah those rafters ended up being a great way to maximize space. A couple subscribers recommended it and I'm so glad they did!

[@tylerwells877]

how can you work without always stopping to admire the view!

[@DIYPETE]

just have to focus haha! :) Cheers

[@timsebastian5758]

Great job! I did my shed 3 years ago and ive never enjoyed it more. Thanks for the great video

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear!

[@alainlacroix4717]

Wonderful timing, I'm getting a 12x24 shed delivered in a few days and will steal many of your ideas. I also have an Ultima ZT2 50" and love the results. I'm saving this video to watch again later.

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear the Cub Cadet is working great for you! And how exciting to have a 12x24 shed on the way! We'll pretty much have the exact same setups :) Cheers!

[@RoRoski22]

You’ve earned a follow! Great job on loft support and organization. Just the video I was looking for. Howdy from Texas.

[@Pynefurnishings]

Great video!!! Very helpful. More videos like this are needed here on KZbin!!!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks Jonathan!

[@davec.3198]

Great stuff. Nice and simple and cheap. Since I love to complicate projects...I like painting the tops of shelves before I install so that they are easy to clean. A decent primer sprayed on (via electric sprayer) outside is the easiest way before they are installed.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@elmedia1532]

Thank you sir! I have seen many shelves built but not a floating deck, great idea on slapping two long boards to make own beam!!! My shed is smaller area, but 12ft tall!!

[@Urbanmk7]

Great video and what an amazing view of the mountains!

[@geekoffline]

Nice video. Watching 3 years later but help me a lot w/ too much ideas. Thanks

[@NelsonReyesJr]

This is excellent!! I just purchased a 12 X 30 shed and I will be doing this to mine. Thanks for the great video!!!

[@DIYPETE]

Good luck!

[@05980420]

excellent job you really inspired me to use my shed space in the best way thank you for sharing what you do I am going to start my project and ck your channel out I know I will learn a lot from them thank you again , Hughes and blessings from us(family) GOD be with you and your beloved ones.

[@DIYPETE]

Hello Alejandro! Great to har from you. Have fun with your shed organizing projects, and take care!

[@_HACtv_]

Some handy ideas there. Well done mate! 👍🏻

[@stuart5406]

Thanks! Very good. Great location there. My shed is only 12 x10 but have installed 12ft x30inch shelf from OSB and 2x3's, lag bolts, with enough room for lawn tractor underneath. Will add adjoining 18in wide shelf+l build tire racks from 2x4's. Gotta plug small gaps to keep mice out!

[@DIYPETE]

Nice work !

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

Its all about utilizing every inch of space you have so that you can have more room and make it look clean and organized ... GOOD WORK ... I am about to purchase a 10x24 shed and i have a lot of work ahead of me :-) Thats all good because i will enjoy doing it.

[@DIYPETE]

Congrats on the new shed and enjoy dialing it in to get exactly what you want for organization! Cheers

[@rayofishal1804]

Glad I found this. I just started building a loft and shelves but now I see a few changes I should make.

[@DIYPETE]

Great to hear!

[@BMad-we6qf]

I have a new shed under construction and this was super helpful in envisioning how to fit it out!

[@DIYPETE]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RetifsGarage]

Pretty strong build, well done, I wish my shed was so well organized !

[@palijatt]

just watched the video because of the views of mountains

[@petesveen]

Thanks for watching.

[@Vaioman67]

1st thing the view is amazing!! The shed is nice too....

[@DIYPETE]

haha thanks!

[@mano0183]

Nice use of scrap material and space.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks, always nice to use what you already have! Cheers

[@boastyy]

Great job, made it look easy! Thanks for the upload , some great ideas there, looks awesome!

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

[@jameshoar8146]

Nice work. Idea to save your coconut, on the lower edge of your loft cut a large pool noodle in 1/2 and add it. No sore head if you were to bump it.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!!

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Mate that is really nice. Looks clean and you still have room to grow. Like that you kept it all simple to hang and store your stuff.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks so much!

[@ericc155]

Great shed organization ideas. I have currently built a shed, now to build shelves and organize. By the way, love the Montana scenery.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks Eric!

[@xsiner]

Cools ideas, I really like the background mountains.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks!

[@an86grad]

To many great ideas for my storage building, my brain just exploded!

[@DIYPETE]

Awesome! Best of luck!

[@slip0n0fall]

Nice vid - I appreciate that you emphasized just keeping it simple and using scrap. No need to go out and buy fancy hanger systems. My last garage was all exposed 2x4 and 2x6 studded walls - add a few horizontal furring strips and those cavities are beyond useful for stashing metal bar stock, garden tools, all kinds of misc stuff. If I ever build another garage it will be tough to cover the walls!

[@DIYPETE]

Thank for all your feedback and that's great to hear you were able to make such great use out of your garage. Cheers!

[@christopherAwaite]

I like the dirt ramp I was going to build a wooden one but after watching this I like the dirt ramp.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks! Yeah I just used some of the extra crushed asphalt from the pad to build the ramp. ( It's similar to gravel ) - works great!

[@ruffneckranch]

Bravo. Planning on putting up a shed this spring. Great inspiration for storage. Thanks Pete!

[@DIYPETE]

Awesome Jared! Good luck!

[@GR-mw1tk]

Great tips and utilizing 2 x 4 scraps and other ideas!

[@devananderson2641]

Right?! How have I not seen this video before now? Classic overthinking has kept my shed project on hold for so long.

[@evertong3658]

Thanks for all your helpful tips, I’m about to borrow a lot of your ideas.

[@camman61]

Great Job !!!! WOW!!!

[@TemptationS666]

def grabbed a few ideas for my small 10x12 shed!

[@tclodfelter8789]

I used a lot of your suggestions for my 12x32 shed... I built the loft on the back. My ceilings are 10' so I was able to make my loft 6'. My 2' benches go across the back and wrap around the sides 20'... leaving the middle 8' and the front 10x12 open for working on projects!

[@angelasheppard7197]

So simple but yet I wouldn't have thought of :using 2x4s for tool hanger, step for shelves...

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching!

[@reidsigns1]

This video was awesome to watch and learn !! Thank you...

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching!

[@alcab6733]

Best video on shed shelves

[@desparky]

It's a beautiful day here in Australia...I'm sitting inside watching your shed organisation video while my own shed is a mess! I'm heading out there now. BTW, it looks like you live in a postcard. Stunning views.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks, and so glad it inspired ya to go and get it organized! :)

[@The85F0X]

So much room for so many activities!!!

[@DIYPETE]

For sure!

[@KYTVIDEO]

Thanks for all of your great ideas.

[@DIYPETE]

Awesome video, and I must say I'm jealous of your yard, it is an absolute beautiful place you have !

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching!

[@thediyhomeowner2968]

I was thinking the same thing. When he was cutting at 1:57 I like that view.

[@landonm11]

Great video! I'll be using some of these in my shop remodel. Only thing I would have done extra is recess the osb and plywood decking on your shelves into the space between the studs. Still the upgrade made a huge difference.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks Landon! And great idea on recessing the plywood, cheers!

[@wildhurstmanor]

Dude your backyard view is amazing! Paradise 😎 And thanks for the shed tips!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have a smaller shed but you gave me some great ideas. I hate going in the shed because of bugs, but now I want to organize it so critters won’t jump out at me. Lol
