Watch a Pro Build a Shed in ONE Day – Full Step-by-Step Guide!
Beau from SquareShed allowed us to follow along for one of his builds and see his entire process from start to finish.
His team completed the whole job by 2pm! He showed us some amazing time saving gems, and how his team are incredibly organized that allow them to build in record time.
Unlike many pre-fab shed builds, they don't leave a single trace that they were there. No fences removed or grass torn up. Just a beautiful custom made shed tailored to the customer's needs.
TuffBlock helps play a role (albeit small) in cutting down the time taken to build. Beau estimates he saves on average 1 hour for each build (30 mins for smaller job, 2 hours for larger ones). TuffBlock allows his team to quickly level the shed foundation using the 4x4 post slot in a repeatable + reliable process. They're also incredibly easy to transport and have on hand in their trailer.

      24 TuffBlocks were used with 8 joists and 3 TuffBlocks per joist. I'd have to check with Jenny but I think she used 2x6 joists, which with the 2 inch TuffBlock height would make the deck a total of about 9 inches once you include the deck board thickness.

    I'd rather use shims between the block and the lumber instead of the gravel. Depending on rain and use that gravel is going to move (there wasn't much of it and it was on top of the membrane. Better to just keep the block on the ground and shim up what you need, or make actual posts if it's going to be high enough.

    They left out a major step in the Pythagoras theorem....You have to find the square root of C. That's how 3, 4, 5 works or any other set of numbers. So you 3 square = 9 + 4 squared = 16 which equals 25 but it's not squared like the formula....it's the square root of 25 which is 5.

    I have a couple of thoughts on how to improve this product. One after you have built the deck frame why not cement four to six post in the ground on the inside of the frame to anchor the structure? You can still do everything the same and it’s not much more work for a superior anchor. Number two your trusses are ugly. Why not use a joint that will keep it all flush and flat over just nailing a 2X4 across the truss? Small structure it would not take much effort and would look a lot better. Can be done with a domino joiner. Just a couple of things I would do. I can tell you take pride in your work and the structure looks good.

  • @jacklabloom635
    @jacklabloom635 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The shed foundation needs to rest on top of the 4x4 posts. Mounting those 2x6 boards to the side of the posts is not going to be stable long term. Wood shrinks and expands. The fasteners eventually wobble out the holes and the weight of the shed causes the 2x6s to more. The only to to stop that is for the 4x4 post being notched on one side so the 2x6s actually rests on the posts.

Everything tied together would make it tough for the 2x6 to sink down and 4x4s go up. Either way though I agree not a fan of just side lags on the 2x6s. Much better to notch the 4x4.

    Bit of a risk to have the full weight of the walls, roof and contents hanging on the shear strength of lag bolts but hey, no joist hangers either so I guess all good

    • @Buildtuff
      @Buildtuff 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      For a 3/8-inch lag screw in wood, the shear strength is typically around 1,200 to 1,400 pounds per screw in softwoods, but this can vary based on wood density. So once 3 are used, this load bearing capacity is more than enough. Saying that, it can't hurt to notch the posts and have the outer frame resting vertically on the post itself. For smaller sheds like this, lag screws are used but for larger sheds then it's typical to notch the posts.

      Yes, you'll want to use earth/hurricane anchors. These auger into the soil and then attach to the subframe. They're typically use with large scale tents or sheds, but also work great for floating decks: www.amazon.com/Jayzod-Shelters-Canopies-Trampoline%EF%BC%8C4-Included/dp/B08H4DZCV4 You can also use duckbill earth anchors, and we made a short demonstration video here: th-cam.com/users/shorts1HuYofBBTD4

Better to line up top of board level with rim joist and ledger then install joist hanger, will save you a lot of trouble and help keep things level.

      @Buildtuff 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The sheer weight for 3/8 lag screws are between 600 to 1,200 pounds each. It's preferable to use notched posts, and you can see that in other videos of ours. But in this case Jerry and Sierra factored in the load rating and with a small shed like this it sufficed. They just built a shed about 3x the size of this one, and for that they notched the 4x4 posts so the weight is on the post, not the fastener.

    • @Buildtuff
      @Buildtuff 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      TuffBlocks use the floating foundation method which was originally created in northern US states to overcome deep frost lines. Because the structure moves gradually with shifting ground as a single unit, it puts no stress on it. This is why it's primarily used only on small to medium sized ground decks that aren't attached to any fixed point. Deck blocks absolutely should NOT be used on raised decks coming off a home for example. They're made for sheds, cubby houses, rooftop decks and small deck platforms etc.
