12x24 Shed Build Part 1

I moved to a new house and needed to get my wood shop set up. I knew I needed more floor space so decided to build a 12x24 foot shed. I did the math and discovered I can save many thousand dollars by doing it myself. I designed it all on sketch up and the plans are available in the link below. I also bought some new tools for this project that worked out great! The Wen Track saw and Wen Roofing nailer were awesome! Not to mention the most cost effective option on amazon. Links are below.
Build Plans can be found on my website.

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

Here is a little tip. When you make the framing for the floor. Get some cheap, The cheaper the better, Powered Detergent mix it up thick like it is paint. Paint the frame with it. It makes it termite proof, and rot resistant, Plus the shed will smell good. Good job thanks.

First I want to say the shed looks great but a couple things to think about. The window headers should be turned wide side up and down, they are stronger that way. Second, the drip edge should have went under the drip edge. Water will get under the shingles and then find its way under the drip edge causing the fascia to rot.

[@amomentwithanimals7429]

Oh man I didn't even notice that when I first watched it. That's a big no no . You must stagger everything when you build,it makes it stronger and won't pop up at the seams. You have to do it in block,brick, plywood subfloor and sheathing, drywall, finish floor,roof , even the sod is staggered. You don't have to go 50% but you must stagger 33% min . If that had been in a house, the finish floor would be popping up , swelling, peaking etc.. Never build with 't' seams , always only 'T'

thanks for watching. If you're worried about buying too much wood, I have plans available in the link in the description of the video and they include a list of materials

[@dc5duben96]

thanks for posting, this video helps show me the what is needed to build a shed

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

I'm glad you like it!

[@gihadmurad]

Hey, I'm considering something similar. Do you think 12x24 is large enough footprint for a wood working shop? Would it be limiting? I have a lot of space in my property, but I'm worried that building bigger than 12x24 on my own might be too big of a job.

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

It all depends what type of projects you do. If its just for a hobby I think 12x24 if fine, it's similar to a 1 car garage. If you intend to make money wood working then you'll def want to go bigger. 2/3 of my shed is for my cnc, laser, and wood storage. The back 1/3 is a gym. I have my 2 car garage as my primary wood shop. There are some creative things you can do though if you decided to do it yourself and stick with a 12x24. For example, you could build a big hard cover overhang on one side that you use for wood storage so it's not taking up floor space inside. Not sure what your climate is like. You could also have a large concrete pad built so as you use your tools you just roll them out from inside the shed to the concrete pad to use them like your table saw, planer, jointer, bandsaw etc.

[@vince9486]

Great build. My only gripe is the tar paper goes over the drip edge, not under it. I, like you, do a lot by myself and was quite pleased to see a tad help when you put up the gable end overhang.

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

Yea those gable ends were a pain. I'm sure there was an easier way to do them. First time

[@abels.4791]

Check your states building code as that's not always the case. Here in Florida it's approved both ways over and under. Most roofers install it over the underlayment here in FL. Because he have lots of rain and wind.

[@marcelgaddis9319]

Except maybe, he has no headers over the windows where the roof load will cause sagging over time while headers over end opening with no roof load because he didnt stud up the gables? Even a non-union carpenter would know this. Not so amAzing brotha.

[@charliesmith9528]

Great Job,,,I am 65 and older than you nw but saw the similarities in how you managed to get it done all by your self,,i seldom had help when i built sheds and garage,,took years to figure out how to do it,,now folks have you tube with great videos like your to get ideas on tps and tricks,,

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

Yea there is no excuse not to go out and get things done nowadays with all the information sources right at your finder tips. There are so many little techniques and tricks you pick up along the way that make a huge difference especially when trying to accomplish a big project like this.

[@travisandtracyjacobs6198]

Awesome work. My only complaint: Would you please take the time to play with your dog next time. 😆 He was killing me. My dogs distract me all the time.

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

Oh don't you worry, she got plenty of play time in between film shots. Every scrap piece of wood got thrown across the yard for her to turn to mulch.

[@justinkeller4008]

Curious why you did the double bottom "plate"? Were those 8' sheets for the walls? Looks great!

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

Hey Justin, the originally didn't plan to do double bottom plates but the inspector made me so it would be to code. Yes those were 8 foot sheets for the walls

[@bigtroll8249]

100% thats what i was thinking

[@bigtroll8249]

@@KeimpieceCarpentry hmm.. i doubt the code calls for dbl bottom plates. Typically an inspector will not call for unnecesary additonal support unless hes offering you a simpler fix to compensate for a weakness in an area that you already built out of code to save the builder time and/or $$

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

@@bigtroll8249 well all I can tell you is I submitted the plans for approval, the inspector said I needed to add a double bottom plate, so I resubmitted the pans with double bottom plate, he approved it, and I built the shed, and the shed passed inspection.

[@bigtroll8249]

@@KeimpieceCarpentry ah, i see. Maybe he called for dbl bottom plate bc the perimeter is not supported by a continuous foundation. Two of those walls are supporting a roof w/o a foundation wall beneath

Such a great job. Really impressive.

From the cheap seats: the floor panels should’ve been staggered so not to land on the same floor joist and a longer level would’ve been more accurate than a torpedo on those wall studs. The sheathing looks like LP Smartside panel siding which requires a house wrap behind plus 6” ground clearance and the bottom edge must be painted, according to their instructions. Ridge venting alongside a gable vent...you may want to Google to see the problem with that. Most residential sheds greater than 200 square feet require a building permit, which isn’t to say a permit isn’t required for sheds under 200 Sq Ft since then a zoning permit is required to verify setback compliance. The difference is in the foundation requirements, which in my area is a 42 inch footing for sheds like yours. Another consideration often overlooked is RADON, which even I disregarded until I discovered that it indeed does cause cancer. With your structure so low to the ground, it may not have a natural way to vent out and may find a way to accumulate inside the shed, plus rising ground moisture has to vent as well. I hope you’re considering screening the perimeter to keep the rodents out.

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

Hey Steve great comments. I'll try to address each. 1. Staggering floor panels .... yes you're 100% right, that was my original plan but ass I was hauling those 3/4 sheets I said F it and just threw them down. 2. Longer level = more accurate . . . yes you're 100% right. I just didn't care enough to spend the money on a larger level. 3. Panels requiring house wrap and ground clearance . . . you're likely correct, but it's a shed and those things don't matter to me. 4. Ridge vent and gable vent . . . I have done the research, there is not issue with my specific use case. I have a cnc and laser running inside that half, so I have an exhaust fan hooked up on the back side of the gable vent to assist in pulling out dust and smoke from the cnc and laser. I do not have a gable vent on the back side which is a gym. The soffits will be vented providing circulation up through the ridge vent. Plus it's not like it's an attic in a house, it's a shed, it's all open so I wasn't too worried, I just want to keep the humidity as low as I can but NC summers will probably make my effort futile. 5. Permits. . . my county required a permit for sheds over 12 ft. I did go through the proper permit process for this build and everything was approved. They made me do a double bottom plate, I originally didn't plan on that. 6. RADON . . . . you're prob right, but it's a shed and I don't care. 7. Rodent screen . . . . yes you're right, I should get around to that but my back yard is fenced in and I'm sure you noticed my Chesapeake Bay Retriever that didn't leave my side during the build, I'm sure she would love if a rodent tried to make a home under the shed. All great points that people should think about if they're building a large shed like this. Thanks for taking the time to lay everything out, hopefully some people read it and utilize your recommendations.
