The Ultimate Guide to Building Your Shed Studio

Hey nobody mentioned that this is a mighty good looking shed! Proportions, colors, everything came out really nice :)

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks a ton!

[@gusgusnft8231]

I want to build an outside bathroom. When my kids, family and friends use my pool, they’ve got to walk through the living room to get to the bathroom. I think something like this would be great.

[@DIYPETE]

That's a good idea and then they won't be dripping water all over the living room anymore. Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

[@1974GSM]

It’s much easier and quicker to just add an outdoor shower (and combo dressing area), sink and toilet.

That's awesome Jeff! Good luck with the garden shed build!

Thanks so much! Have fun with the build!

[@BrianBr0wn]

Love your videos, its been a minute though. Glad to see another one

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks Brian, hope all is well!

It’s 12 am, I am randomly watching this thinking about how hard this would be if I could build this, and I’m thinking about building it either way

[@chaoticgoodsart]

i read this as you are 12 lol

[@agustinespinosa8055]

Simply beautiful.

[@DIYPETE]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@SteveSRT]

That was awesome, thanks for sharing. I want to do something like this for an insulated chicken coop build and your knowledge really helps.

[@rhondaswanson9811]

Really nice! I’d like a version of that for a bee house. Bee boxes would be enclosed inside the shed and holes on the back wall for them to enter and leave.

[@DIYPETE]

Cool idea!

[@serhions]

Oh, man!!! Your super cozy and really tiny working shed is ABSOLUTELY mind-blowing and such a great job!!!! You've taken this goal perfectly, and, you've taken such a strong desicion to dive deep into it and lately jump out with an amazing result! Thank you for such a brilliant job, bro.Kudos for sure, and i'm your very brand new subscriber! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Cheers, Serge.

Again...another great project! Well done Pete! I'll be making this.

[@DIYPETE]

Hey! Thanks so much Scott. Hope all is well and can't wait to see your shed studio!

[@ChrisVeeeee]

the trick at 9:46 is so simple, but I'd never thought of doing that before!

[@DIYPETE]

Oh yeah, makes it so easy and is a perfect hack for a little shed :)

[@Heerkönig]

Amazing, well done Mr. Pete Thanks god i found you because i was thinking to build my own house and shed studio. I'm sure gonna learn a lot of things from you, thank you so much.

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for taking the time to watch the project video! That is cool you are potentially looking at building something similar. Looking forward to hearing what you create! Cheers

[@Annon89]

Be careful with using shingles on low pitch roofs they can leak if your pitch isn’t steep enough. This is more for someone watching as I don’t know what your roof pitch is. It just looked rather flat at the beginning and then it Looked fairly pitched toward the end. Nice build I’ve been thinking of building something like this.

[@Stefan-yz5lr]

He states at one point of the video that it's a 2/12 pitch, which is the minimum allowed for asphalt shingles. Best practice to use full ice & water shield for underlayment.

[@СергійАртеменко-ь9к]

Hey Pete, nice little office shed. I'm curious how the setup for the electical works in relation to that outdoor inlet. Is there the equivalent "female" outlet on the inside or did you direct wire it to a panel and set up outlets from the panel? Do you have a video showing both sides of the process?

[@dobrovik]

He might prefer not to provide electrical guidance is my guess; I think I'd play it safe and leave it vague if I were in his position

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Pete! Really well done!!! 😃 Construction prices here in Brazil are really hurting right now... 😬 (I just finished 2 houses for renting and it was a headache!) Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@DIYPETE]

Thank you! Bummer to hear costs are still sky high down there. We are still high but OSB and 2x4s are fairly normal. Take care and hope the fam is doing well! Cheers

[@KingDrewPhilip]

I just bought myself a wooden shed for 1500 and figured I can make it into my own space 6x8 feet and just a small space for me. This video gives me lots of ideas to make it my own private space. Such a cool concept ! Every man needs a man cave lol. Wooden sheds can last 15-20 years too apparently.

[@cristseaton4219]

Hey mate, I'm doing my own project right now for the exact same reason, losing office to kids. Wondering you didn't need vapour barrier inside the structure, and whether you've found that the insulation baffles provide enough ventilation to keep the interior dry/well ventilated. The way that it looks, your insulation baffles don't actually extend into the soffit, so they aren't circulating air in your "attic" area. Not at all criticizing, just asking while doing my own research. I've been worried about ventilation with climate swings in Canada. Appreciate the response

[@Jordyn-gt3xn]

That's a cute baby!

[@j_hORn]

You're the best Pete! Been following since your farmhouse table video. I want to build an outdoor kitchen on my patio. have anything like that in your future?

I see you put in rafter vent but where is does the air come in and out? I’m asking because I’m have similar building in my back yard.

Can you build a doghouse for 3 large dogs if possible in the future.

[@charging99]

Love your videos, this and your hockey shed. Soffit venting particulars? please. Thanks

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching! I did 4 inch soffit vents on the back side. I may add a couple on the front to help pull air through but it's been working just fine thus far. Cheers

[@jaredmmc99]

Pete, did you need a vapor barrier for the walls at all? I didn't notice you using one.

[@DIYPETE]

Hey Jared! The insulation has the Kraft-backed built in vapor barrier.

[@jaredmmc99]

@@DIYPETE thank you! I will look into that

[@FrankD518]

Hey Pete, I was looking at this video and was curious about the electrical. Specifically the outdoor male plug-in inlet adaptor and then the electric panel/breaker box. Did you cover this in a previous video somewhere? Thanks for your time.

[@horstkampfgarten5768]

This would cost around 10.000 € here in Germany - so much wooden slats!

[@franknavasre]

Pete great job, by any chance can you do you plans for a similar shed in the dimensions of 12’ front and back X 10’ sides? Please let me know and how could cost me the plans. Thank you

[@travisharrington5819]

Wow this was an exciting and educational video. You did an excellent job of explaining the whole process, even though it was a little fast paced. I’m an electrician and hope to one day build my very own home. Going to binge watch your vids man. Great job! Don’t know what trade you did in your lifetime, but regardless it shows you know the process of how a building is built.

[@mrmanu20121]

That is very nice what was the total time start to finish,?? Thsnk you

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching! I built it over the course of a couple months as I was traveling quite a bit, filming, and doing in my spare time, but if you have the time and can devote it consistently, it could be built much quicker. Cheers

[@Zharsergey]

Question about the siding being that close to the ground. Any issues with the smartpanel picking up moisture?

[@neilmackinnon9158]

Are you sure you're getting enough airflow through those rafter vents? Great video and looks great!

[@DIYPETE]

Hey Neil! Thanks man! The rear blocking could have been cut a little lower for more ventilation and I could add more soffit vents when I get time ( front and back ) but not too concerned

[@mindseye4914]

I was hoping this would give a bit more detail to beginners. Stuff like what saw to use, what tool to use when and how to actually cut and build the wall and so on. This felt more like a video for intermediate to advanced level builders. Bummer.

[@big9304]

No water resistant barrier under the siding? How come?

[@patty109109]

I might have gone bigger, but it looks very nice

[@joshuaa3075]

For sliding sliding door what size should I buy that fits a 60x80 rough opening? I see that Lowe’s sells a Pella 150 for just under $500 now. Is that the door that you used? Pella 150 Series 60-in x 80-in Low-e Argon White Vinyl Sliding Universal Double Patio Door

[@DIYPETE]

Hi Josh! Used a Pella 150 series 60x80 priced close to $500.

[@keyrtan]

The first step is to get a truck. 😆

[@mcmickey3344]

What do you think or studio sheds or other pre fabs?

[@DIYPETE]

You can easily customize pre-built sheds - so if you find a good deal go for it. You will save a lot of time not needing to build the exterior.

[@ifiwooddesigns]

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks so much man! I appreciate the feedback. I try to include the basics for people interested in the steps / process, and to edit out the unnecessary footage that would just add to the length. Thanks for watching, and glad the scenery is fun to watch for ya! Cheers!

[@pavolkoren5335]

Don't you think it's too big? :)

[@barryhaynes103]

Nice build … the headers are overbuilt for the roof load. Thank you for including the cost as this is always left out of a DIY project. The final cost didn’t include heating/cooling which will make this about a $7k build, which is reflective of material only. Again, nice build and thorough enough details to actual show what it take to build a room and the actual cost, approx. $86 per square foot with heating and cooling. 😎

[@DIYPETE]

Thanks for watching! I didn't include everything, but a space heater or small baseboard would do the trick for heating and a wall or window a/c unit would be great for cooling. A mini split would be a bit overkill for this small of a building. Of course there are lots of options. Thanks for the /sq foot breakdown and taking the time to share your insights and feedback. Much appreciated! Cheers Barry!

[@anaabend]

How do you attach the whole thing to the ground?

[@patrickhaupt5723]

Where did you get your 2x4's ? Yours looked great compared to the crap lumber our local Menards sells.

[@DIYPETE]

Hey Patrick! I hear ya on trying to find good boards. I actually have found that our home depot has the best bunks of wood to pick from. For some reason the 2x4's at the other box store haven't been great lately. But sometimes they are it just depends on what they get in. We also have a couple local lumberyards. I buy my 1x materials there because it is better quality and cheaper ( plus available in longer lengths ).

[@DIYPETE]

I grew up in South Dakota though and we had a Menards - and have family in Minnesota and Wisconsin -- so I've bought wood there plenty of times. Definitely hit or miss!

[@Brd100000]

Fantastic job! Just wondering, what state is this? It’s beautiful and I’m thinking of moving out of Florida. This is exactly the type of scenery I want for my farm. 😊

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Google's your friend. I found the answer in 10 seconds.

[@eduardochavacano]

The insulation is so first world. This aint a budget house. Its a tiny shed. But it must so expensive. Im ignorant about this stuff. I called it stuff. It is impressive though, the skills people have. In places were labor is supposedly cheap, most people dont even know what that drilling machine is called. Those treated lumbers for the floorings are so expensive, if bought in some depot. But it may just be a scam. When i heard on the video, about building communities, i thought of weight watchers, something that only exist in the West. People pay to belong to communities.

[@videoframe24]

What kind of wood do you use to build your studio?

[@FreakyFunnies]

Amazing, you literally built something better than my apartment. LOOL . Well done on your hard work very inspiring and informative!

[@TheJttv]

Seems a bit small for a minisplit. I would look at window mount options even tho its a bit uglier.

[@DIYPETE]

I think you are right, it would be overkill. I may get a real small unit and mount it on the back wall as it wouldn't be as ugly as going in a window. I think the mini-split would be a better fit for our 12x20 building. Thanks for the feedback!
