Just build a similar shed. Based on the instructions they have you put up all the corners and then the bracing for the wall sections. When I build the next one I am going to put the bracing in as I build the corners.

[@JeradSorgenfrei]

Great job! Hope it holds all your stuff!!

[@rodssolarworld]

First time I heard you are former military. Thank You for your Service ! Also great to see a couple doing a project together.

Thanks!! It went together great especially when you assemble the beams correctly lol!!

[@jennatrusty522]

Funny how much they get along in the beginning everybody does when they start out a project like this and once you get deeper into the thick of it you're tearing each other's heads off

[@mahalomana2]

Nice job! Pricing these on Amazon right now - was considering building my own with wood but the roof is about what these metal sheds cost so.... ty for your service.

[@phizicks]

hehe good to see the Mrs back on, haven't seen her since the live streams I think. A small solar panel and 4 PC psu fans to pump air out the vents, might be enough to take the heat lingering at the top out.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Its always a treat having her in the videos!! Oh man the Live streams were fun! I like the idea of having solar on the shed!! I do have the very FIRST solar panels I ever bought still. Couple of 12v panels. Will have to check the output on them and see if they still work!🤔😃

[@Lauren-ci6uv]

I really like the time-lapse video section!!!

[@AveRage_Joe]

It was a good idea to add that! I wonder where it came from😜❤

[@LeslieIsgrigg]

Nice job, both of you 👍😀 Next I'd get some ridgid insulation on the walls leaving an air gap for air flow to ridge vent. Otherwise tape gaps and seams to keep temperature more moderate Solar lights and vent fans are nice additions Remember that the roof trusses can't carry much of a load, without beefing up. What is the snow load for it ? You might project a solar air warmer for flowing up behind the insulation using the air gap 🤔💭💣💥

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks!! For the time being it will hold all the outdoor equipment so dont think Ill be adding any insulation. May add tape if it warrants it to help keep the inside dry. Yeah the roof trusses cant carry an extra amount of weight. Id have to check on the snow load. Its under all the trees so it shouldnt see to much snow but we will see.💥

[@LeslieIsgrigg]

@@AveRage_Joe yes, my friend you will see. On another subject, why did your testing solar panel video end so abrupt ? Did you find the fault and fix the tester ?🤔💭💣💥

I like that you showed some of the pitfalls - and that they aren’t too terrible. I don’t mind DIY projects. I’d follow up with the shelving - and I intend to put in a small bench and chair - with an electric run to my outdoor breaker box with a receptacle inside. But I think it looks better than serviceable. Just a bit of time and patience.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks! Yeah the shelves, bench and electric would be GREAT! Ive been using a portable power station if I need power over there. 100% patience as there are a million screws😁🤘

Well done! I've priced wood sheds recently and these are an attractive option. And don't let the Mrs. get away - took her a whole 30 seconds to so politely call you OCD. LOL

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks! Yeah a full wood shed would the BEST but a little pricey at the moment. These arent to bad honestly. Its pretty solid! Yeah she is GREAT at calling me out lol🤦‍♂️🤠

@@AveRage_Joe Lauren is a gem. You sir are a lucky man. According to the Bible, Proverbs 18:22 says, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord". The Passion Translation (TPT) of the verse adds that a wife is a gift from God who brings joy and pleasure to her husband.

[@ronjones4069]

I really like the base and floor. I'm about to build the same shed and I think I'll copy your design

[@AveRage_Joe]

Just make sure you measure the metal base frame and get wood to that size lol

[@teseract]

If anyone is planning on putting up a shed check your local ordinances. A lot of locales won't allow structures close to property lines. My city for example has a 5' setback requirement from the property line and the side facing the road has a 30' setback. Some neighbors won't care, some will call and report you to code enforcement if you violate it.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Yeah you do need to check. I did check and its about the same here. I could go a little closer. In my area most people wont care especially my neighbor lol.

[@teseract]

@@AveRage_Joe Yeah lots of people have HOAs with boards staffed with retired busybodies who have too much time on their hands... people who live under that kind of steel toed boot will probably want to add an extra foot over code to be safe. :)

[@jennatrusty522]

I think to avoid the stripping I would use a putty or a type of glue that is like a seal I would stick the seal on the bottom of those holes and when I screwed it in that way it would stick in there and it wouldn't get shredded or stripped

[@jennatrusty522]

For the doors I probably would put a seal flap sort of like what you do with a garage door make it a little more sturdy I'm thinking about getting one of these from temu I don't know what you paid for this but it's $80 today on that website

[@leroyharvey2024]

In about 2 years you are going to regret buying OSB instead of good plywood. That OSB is for house floor decking not outside weather and humidity facing use. That OSB will fall apart from humidity and almost ground facing water in 12-24 months.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Is it really that bad? Ill keep an eye on it. I did get it sealed up pretty good but still need to do the door area.

[@jstaffordii]

Yep built my shed on 3/4 pressure treated plywood over 20 years ago. The floor deck is still perfect but the vinyl shed is showing its age.

[@keving8877]

just paint the floor with flex seal

[@thecrittergitter7576]

My thoughts exactly. Should have purchased 3/4 pressure treated plywood. The only drawback with pressure treated lumber is it is treated with copper oxides. This will cause the Steel screws to rust at the base when it comes in contact with pressure treated wood. A gasket to separate the contact of the 2 different materials.

[@kevinroberts781]

I actually used OSB on the outside walls of my building 20 years ago. It has some pieces flaking but it's still 99% good

[@MrCaseyJames]

I wouldn't fill the gap between the two doors with foam like you mention. I'd probably just go with some metal flashing material or even just any thin galvanized sheet metal you can get in a strip. Attach it to one of the doors on the edge and have it just span the gap over to the next door.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thats a great idea actually!!! Ill probly do that! Thanks🤔🤘

Check the screws for treated wood approvals. I got the wrong stuff.

[@AveRage_Joe]

That was the first thing on the list when grabbing the screws!🤘

[@ronroberts110]

I don't know the details of what you will do with this shed, but...a metal shed is perfect for a battery and inverter storage. This would make it easier to get a building permit (where required) and it would have a low impact on your home-owners insurance, by putting the lithium batteries in a metal out-building. It could also use some wooden shelves one foot down from the ceiling along the walls.

[@AveRage_Joe]

At this current time it will house all the lawn equipment but I do like where you are going with this!!! Shelves are a must!!!🤘

[@lavernabouzspain]

Hi there Mr. and Mrs. Joe! I like shed project and you did a great video. I am so happy that I stopped by to view the video because I have an upcoming project somewhat similar to yours. I have on order a 6' by 4' metal shed. Money is tight so I was wondering how and what I might use to keep the base off the wet ground. (Live in rainy climate), I was thinking 9 cider blocks and One OSB 19/32" board, again, tight budget for this widow. What are your or your reader's thoughts on these items for the base?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thank You and thanks for watching. The cinder blocks are good. Since its rainy, I wouldnt use OSB. A few in the comments here said it will balloon up and fall apart quick. You might have better luck with plywood.

[@lavernabouzspain]

Hi there Mr. & Mrs. Joe Average. Thank you so much for answering my question. I will therefore order the plywood for the floor. thanks again and God bless you both!

[@DubStepAnonymouse]

Put a shed like that together with my parents once, easier than it looks that's for sure 😆 cool vid.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Easy....just 1 millions screws lol

[@DubStepAnonymouse]

50 screwdriver bits@@AveRage_Joe

[@MD.ImNoScientician]

@AveRageJoe Was your 2x4 and strand board flooring an extra add-on? Was it part of the directions in the box to add? I just received a small shed in the mail. It doesn't mention anything about mounting mine onto flooring. I am going to install flooring though, like you did.

[@AveRage_Joe]

I went to Lowes and got all the wood. Showed that and what I got in the vid. Yeah no mention of the floor but I assumed that it assumed I was putting it on concrete or a wood floor.

[@BourbonDelight]

Quick question for ya on this build, I’m building the same shed. The metal braces that hold the side panels on at the top when building the walls, did yours come with home predrilled? Mine didn’t so I’m thinking maybe my piece is flawed. Also, around the 8min mark where you are talking about how the roof panels screw into the grooves on those braces, since they don’t give you self tapping screws, did you have to predrill holes or did yours come with holes predrilled?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Everything was predrilled and I didnt have to do anything other then install the screws. I did have to flip around a brace or 2 cause I wasnt paying attention but yeah, everything had a hole or a slot.

[@goudhaantje3569]

NIce. I am looking for a burglar proof metal shed for 2 bicycles. No roof required just 3 walls and door with lock ! I will get there. Maybe a local enterprise can cut thick plates based on my drawing.

[@awbean5254]

GREAT JOB THE TWO OF YOU! IF YOUR NEIGHBOR CUTS DOWN THOSE TREES, IS THAT STRUCTURE STRONG ENOUGH FOR ADDITIONAL SOLAR PANELS?

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks!!! The trees will fall before the neighbor ever gets to them. They hardly cut there grass but maybe twice a year back there. I have 2 smaller 12v panels I was thinking of adding. Should hold those no problem!🤘

[@WalterKeener-sj6mg]

I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for posting. I have a question about the dimensions. What are the dimensions of your base? I have an existing concrete pad that is exactly 120” wide and am worried that the extra 0.8” will hang over and create a crack for whatever to get inside.

[@AveRage_Joe]

Thanks! Id have to run out there and measure if for ya when I get back. I want to say it was just over 120" if I remember right but will check.

[@WalterKeener-sj6mg]

@@AveRage_Joe Thank you. I'm thinking a 3/8 overhang on each side won't be that big of a problem. Especially if the bottom frame has enough width to accommodate.

[@AveRage_Joe]

@WalterKeener-sj6mg Ok so just measured. Its 121 lip edge to lip edge. That lip edge could probly be bent down to the edge of your slab.

[@user-nq1px4vz7h]

So some of the videos show that they are taking off the protective film on all metal pieces does anyone know if it is necessary??

[@AveRage_Joe]

I left all that on.

[@brandonlong9382]

Do you know the width of the door frame? Would it allow for a 54 inch wide lawn mower deck?

[@AveRage_Joe]

My 42 goes in with ease and room on the sides. Door opening is 59-1/2" so yours should fit but might have to tilt up the side chut depending on width.👍

ITS garbage, the roof will rust very quick with the leaves on the roof, the edge trimming shud be removed so the leaves can blow off or wash off from the rain, at middle height on all 3 walls shud be a z perlon mounted horizontally to reinforce the structure in high winds, and 4 x 3ft deep concrete pillons with metal builders strapping connected to the reo bar and long enuf to go the full height on the inside walls. Nice to see the lovely Lauren again.... what a cutie :)

[@ricinro]

The plastic film is a nightmare to remove. It requires fingernails to dig into the edges of the film to remove can't do this with the gloves on.. So this invites all types of cuts to your fingers The film is thin and weaker than its adhesion to the painted panels. The plastic washers need inside flashing or tabs to help keep them on the screws. I note that there is no mention of the plastic film in the instructions probably because it is a known nightmare to the manufacturer.

[@AveRage_Joe]

I left all the plastic coating on all the panels. Some remove it and others leave it.
