We Built A Lean-To Shed Against The House

While raising my children after their mother took off I built sheds like this during the day while the kids were in school. It paid the bills. I could do one like this in a day when I was in top form. Larger free standing dutch barn style might take me 2 days or so. I ran an ad in the newspaper year round and took orders via phone. I'd load up my van and build on site. My prices began at $300 for an 8x8 with unpainted plywood sides. I think the most expensive was around $1600 for a 12 x 16 barn. I built the trusses on the floor deck once it was completed, then built and raised the walls and truses, roof and trim. I had it down to a science (as long as the customer let me alone I could knock them out fast). Fond memories of my younger years. I'd get my kids to help me paint trim on sawhorses on the weekends. I was getting 2x4's for $1.39 and panels for $3.88. I probably couldn't build one wall for that kind of money, now.

[@stormorsheds2970]

Thanks for sharing, building sheds can be pretty fun. What state did you build them in? And yes, pretty crazy how much more lumber costs these days than it use to.

[@FunDuude]

[@patpack]

I like the shed I do have concerns for the top of the roof and driving rain causing water getting between both buildings and not having a good way to dry out. I see the siding on the back side of the shed to protect it from rain getting between but an area like that may be a little concern for me long term. I may be wrong and I'm not bashing you guys at all. Nice little shed.

[@stormorsheds2970]

We’ve been building this design for 30 plus years and have never had issues with moisture build up between the house and shed. Appreciate the comment! Constructive criticism is never a bad thing. We have quite a few other videos on our channel you can check out as well. Thanks for watching. Out of curiosity what state do you live in?

[@patpack]

@@stormorsheds2970 Thanks for responding. I live in Wisconsin. The reason I responded was I had a small shed that was right next to my garage. (Not exactly like yours but somewhat similar) I replaced it with a much bigger 12x14 stand alone about 20 feet from the garage. Anyway when I tore down the little shed, the vinyl siding was moldy and the bottom 1x10 sheathing on the garage had an area that was wet and punky and had to be torn off and replaced. Not rotted on the plate or studs but sheathing was bad. Also the top of the block of the garage foundation was degraded and falling apart. All right where the shed was. I think the moisture sat there and was able to wick up a bit for years. SW exposure maybe had something to do with it too (?) Yours was closer to the main structure and may not allow much driving rain or catch lots of snow to sit on the roof and against the main building to melt and drip down between. Lots of factors, I will check out your other videos too!

[@stormorsheds2970]

You bet, we always try to respond to comments. Idaho is a pretty dry state, not sure about Wisconsin. A 12x14 shed is good size but seems no matter the size it’s always easy to fill up, haha. Hopefully you’re making good use of it!

[@mikeo8890]

Nice job 👍

[@lelanacroft]

I was wondering the same thing so thanks for asking and thanks to @stormorsheds2970 for responding!

[@PH-md8xp]

That is just a nicely built shed. Great work guys!

[@stormorsheds2970]

Thank you!

[@carpenter52kg]

You should consider putting flashing or drip caps over/around the windows and door. There's also no flashing between the roof of the shed and the house. Water will slide down that and rot the wall on the back of the shed. The osb is going to get moldy pretty fast.

[@stormorsheds2970]

We don’t put flashing between the house and shed because it is not attached to the house. Some water running between the house and shed is fine. It will just run down the walls and onto the gravel. The shed has finished siding and is painted on that back wall, it’s not exposed OSB. It won’t rot, it’s no different than water running down any of the other walls when it rains.

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

@@stormorsheds2970 Agreed...i saw that...perfectly fine.

[@Langhorstiness]

@@stormorsheds2970 Solid build, my only nitpick is that the house siding looks like Hardie Plank or possibly another brand of cementitious siding. Those need to breathe or the moisture can start to swell the planks, mildew, etc. In a relatively dry climate it might be totally fine but I have heard that in east coast of Canada some manufacturers are no longer warrantying product because it gets too wet in the winter from snow stacked against the building which just keeps the siding damp for extended periods of time. I'm not saying you built it wrong, but maybe talk to a James Hardie (LP Smartside is another big brand) technical sales rep to be sure you don't have a homeowner calling you back a few years later with a building envelope issue triggered by the shed install. Better safe than sorry.

[@trivu3597]

Nice job! I notice flashing used between the house and the shed strictly depends on the caulking to keep the water out. Expansion and contraction between house and shed will fail the caulking. The floor framing appears to sit on the gravel. Eventually, the floor framing will rot from ground moisture.

[@stormorsheds2970]

Thank you. The flashing is used to seal the shed itself off not to keep water from going between the house and the shed. Rain water will be able to run down between the two structures but won’t be trapped behind it. The silicone used was just to cover the exposed nails used to fasten the down the flashing/metal. There are pressure treated skids under the floor sitting on concrete patio blocks. We’ve built our floors this way for 40 years without issues. We also offer a steel base for folks who would rather have steel over wood. Appreciate the comment, hope you enjoyed the video. We have lots more on our channel.

[@donaldgarrison4313]

Why not steel roof ,??? Less labor

[@stormorsheds2970]

We offer metal roofs, it’s up to the customer to decide which one they prefer.

[@allenjay6065]

At 1:22 - Yes, according to most building codes, OSB (Oriented Strand Board) sheathing should be installed perpendicular to the joists to ensure proper structural support and load distribution across the floor or roof framing; this means the long edges of the OSB panels should run across the joists, not parallel to them.

[@cabinetsfactory]

The roofing paper should cover the front drip edge.

[@southbayproducts5371]

Nice work you have a good team make sure you pay them well or you will lose them keep up the great work God Bless

[@stormorsheds2970]

Thank you! Appreciate that.

[@annealston4858]

I agree with some here the shed is okay, but there are concerns about the way it is built and water issues. Also, the hinges should be on the inside because anyone can take those screws out and access the shed. The siding should have been installed horizontial to blend with the home.

[@stormorsheds2970]

We have a security package we offer on the doors and also other door options with dead bolts for those concerned about that.

[@annealston4858]

@@stormorsheds2970 I get that from your previous reply to others but no one should have to pay extra to have the hinges installed inside the door as opposed to the outside. You would not expect to have that if you paid hundreds of dollars to have your house front door installed that way right? Just saying.

[@stormorsheds2970]

That type of door is designed to have the hinges on the outside. It gives it a really nice look. Security is important, but it’s pretty rare that someone would jump a fence, break into a backyard shed and run off with the lawnmower and garden tools. If that’s a concern we have completely different doors that are more secure.

Are you talking about the workbench potentially not being level?

Rain water can get in between the structures but it won’t be trapped behind it. It shouldn’t be an issue. Both structures are sealed. Also the shed is not attached, it’s just setting next to the house.

[@stormorsheds2970]

Thanks, ya, that's a bummer. Hopefully you can find someone reliable in your area.

[@byugrad1024]

There are other professionals who would disagree with the usage of the radiant barrier in the way it was installed. For a radiant barrier to be effective (not negligibly effective like it is here) it needs to have an air gap between it and the plywood decking. The only way to do that is to install additional plywood on the inside ceiling with the barrier facing up. A challenge here as well since you don't have any vents in the roof. Edit: Where the hell is the window flashing? Not even any caulk? That will leak like a sieve!

[@stormorsheds2970]

The radiant barrier does a great job of keeping the shed cooler the way it’s installed. We seal over the top of the window trim which does the job of keeping water out, it won’t leak. We offer tape and flashing for buildings that will have insulated walls and interior finishes. You could make the argument a concrete foundation should have been poured and that the overhangs should have been larger, but every customer has a budget and also will have different uses for their shed.

[@michaellacaria910]

I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t spend the extra money to make an overhead on all sides. I’d save the money from the radiant roof, a roof vent would be more efficient imo. Having said that, It’s a nice build and good job. BTW my preference would’ve been horizontal siding to match the house but since it’s hidden it would be a cost saving decision.

[@dell7990]

That’s a great looking shed, but no foundation. High gust winds could blow that shed away from the house, I would hammer 4 feet steel rebar into the ground around the shed touching the floor joints then bolt each rebar to the floor joints.12 rebar should work

[@cyrusfalatoon-rt5ug]

Needs a chimney for Santa.

[@stormorsheds2970]

Haha, that would be awesome.

[@stormorsheds2970]

Haha, that would be awesome!

I would install the door on the side for easy reach.

[@stormorsheds2970]

We still had a good 6 or 7' between the fence and shed but I see why that might be more convenient.

Great video, no eye protection! My friend had a bad injury, with no safety glasses. Luckily, he did not lose his eye

[@stormorsheds2970]

Eye protection would be a good idea. We appreciate your comment.

[@StuffBobbyDoes]

I must be too old school because I always wear safety glasses, especially when using pneumatic nailers.

I'm going to build a lean-to greenhouse against my stucco walled house. Can I screw into the stucco/stud or should I build it off the house like you guys did? Also should I have a back wall against the house to prevent moisture on house exterior? Thanks, good job on this build and videography

[@stormorsheds2970]

We build them up against the house but don’t attach it. Probably the simplest way to do it. We have a back wall so it’s still a four sided building that can be moved if need be. Thanks for the comment.

[@stevebelieve3386]

Where does all the caulking/silicone go on ?

[@stormorsheds2970]

We silicone above doors and windows and exposed nails on the roof. The caulking gets painted over.

Good job 👍

[@stormorsheds2970]

Thank you!

Weren’t the shingles installed the wrong way?

[@stormorsheds2970]

No, they were installed correctly.

[@jianxinhu9755]

not sure if the foil can help much, because as a radiant barrier it is not facing an air space towards the outside. the gap between the back wall and the house is questionable in terms of moisture accumulation, mold growth... it would be better if a flashing is installed against the siding of the house to minimize water or leave a bigger gap between the two for more air to circulate. it is also questionable for not having a moisture barrier in the wall and in the floor.

[@stormorsheds2970]

It will still help quite a bit.

[@FunDuude]

I would've stayed with the "Theme" of the house. I would have used horizontal Cement fiber board (Hardy plank).

[@stormorsheds2970]

Ya, that would have helped it to tie in more closely.

[@ddrusa]

Cool idea but still I'm no fed just asking a honest question do you need a city permit to build anything next to your house

[@stormorsheds2970]

You’ll want to check with your local building codes but around our area it is allowed. The shed is not attached and still its own separate structure. It can also be moved if need be.

[@ddrusa]

@@stormorsheds2970 Good to know thank you 😊

[@2wise4u2]

So if I have a screwdriver I can just take the door off?

[@stormorsheds2970]

Typically in a backyard neighborhood’s theft isn’t a big concern. Someone could also get in by breaking the window. We offer doors with deadbolts and a security package as well.

[@JesusHernandez-ce4nk]

Looks good but a little bit rough.

[@stormorsheds2970]

How is it a little rough?

[@craigsilver2146]

Too close to properly line to get a permit in most counties. Also most home associations would not approve it attached to house on side. Needed horizontal siding and same paint as house,regardless, all else nicely done 👍good build.😊
