Did something similar to this. cleared some woods, cut down numerous trees. concrete pad and ramp is the only way to go. especially if you are using it for a gym.
I paid about the same to get my foundation for a similar 16x18 tuff shed gym build. Your luckily you have tons of property where you can do so much with the open canvas. I live in SoCal and had to pull city permits for my shed and foundation, which was a pain and took a few delays. Now with that said, I’m going to insulate it and run solar lights and propane heater. I’m mainly going to run non-electrical or plug-in cardio equipment (assault runner, concept rower, assault bike). The rest is a mix of Rogue and Rep gear.
As someone who has a shed gym (14x20) while it seems like a lot of room, space will come at a premium. And also getting out to the gym on nasty days to get a workout in has been the biggest detriment to my consistency. That being said I LOVE my little gym and I think I’ve done a decent job of using the space efficiently.
If you're happy, I'm happy! Looks like great work. Many years from now, the wood might give out. It really just depends on your humidity levels and soil content. Just replace it and repack it. Great video!
I have no clue about any of that, but $4,600 seems fair. It's hard to find good people to do "small" jobs like that. Glad the other guy was honest about being unable to tackle the job and didn't set you up for failure.
Nice I had my father in law help me with the ground prior to the shed people coming over and building it. We went with Home Depot 12x10 or 8 can’t remember 3 yrs ago. We painted it same color as the house wish we got the 16x20
@ not entirely as it has a kinda loft area we put the big lighter stuff to keep out of the way and lots of big containers from Home Depot for Xmas, Halloween, and random holiday decorations.
If you're in a city, check with both the city AND your HOA about how big your shed can be without a permit. Don't trust Google. Typically it will be an 8x16ft (120 sq ft) or 10x20ft (200 sq ft). These rules are based on the International Residential Code. The most recent IRC allows a 200 sq ft (10x20ft) outbuilding as being exempt from all the extra code. Your HOA might only allow a 120 sq ft (8x16ft) and this was based on the old IRC, and you may be able to get a variance for a larger shed if your city allows it. Your city has to adopt the newest IRC which they may do on a rolling basis every few years. This took a lot of time to figure out, so thumbs up if you think it's helpful to you or other people!

$4,600 for all that work in MA is an absolute steal. Contractors are notoriously bad in MA in my opinion. Gloucester specifically. My family has had a ton of trouble finding honest ones. My grandparents were putting on an addition to their house $250K job. Contractor took $85K up front and then never showed up. Took 4 years of court appearances to get a final judgement and then the judge only required the contractor to pay back 15% of what was paid to him. What a @#$ joke. I am not surprised you had trouble getting folks to your property. I feel you got a fantastic price and quality work for your money. Make sure you save their contact information. You found a gem. Looking forward to seeing the shed in place.
@ I grew up on that beach. Graduated from Gloucester High in ‘87. It is my favorite place to go when I go home to visit relatives. I always smile when I see some Good Harbor footage in your videos. Thanks for what you do!

Materials are always the cheapest part of major work like this. You are paying for the skill and expertise that they bring. Just like gym equipment, buy once, cry once and pay for quality the first time and then you don’t have to redo it later.

I've built a lot. If I try to spare money, it's definitely not the on the foundation of a building, because if you have any problem with that, the follow-up costs will be immense. But I live in europe, maybe we just do it different to the US. All good. P.S.: I have pressure treated playground in my garden. After 15 years it's falling apart.
@@Markus-fw4px I've had the same problem with pressure treated wood, except mine lasted about 20 years. If you expect to be on the property for decades, you will end up replacing the wood and it will be a real pain to do so.

What did you pay for your shed platform?
Shed Space Savings: amzn.to/4a3o39U
Sounds like a good price to me, especially given the quality of the work. Looking forward to updates on the build out!
Yeah the amount and quality of work was def. worth the price
$4600 is a great deal.
For the quality of that pad you got a great deal.
I look forward to a video series of the shed build process!
@@scooobyj8714 yeah that'll be a fun one when I have the time to edit it
Let me guess contractor? LOL
What do you mean?
Sometimes the hardest part of a project is getting someone to actually show up and do it.
Never thought it would have been that hard but here we are
Love it! I can't wait to see once it's all done. 12x16 is clutch. I'm all in for go big or go home!
yeah we saved for so long we didn't want to skimp
Did something similar to this. cleared some woods, cut down numerous trees. concrete pad and ramp is the only way to go. especially if you are using it for a gym.
Yeah definitely need a ramp

Oh sweet!!! Send me photos when it's done, would love to see the final product
Can't wait to see the shed gym come to fruition. Any thoughts to deadlifts and floor longevity?
Got the upgraded floor. Will discuss it in the next video
Great vid 👍. Everyone is going this route with things growing. Valuable info 🙏
Yeah I know so many people in my area who got a shed. We had been waiting one for ten years

@@NoFate247I’ll try to DM you. I’m old and not very versed in using TH-cam other than just watching videos and liking them.
Oh snap!!! This is big moves brother! Good luck!! The contracting process and all of that is tough as hell, but you'll be happy once it's complete
Yeah lots of work but happy once it's complete
Super cool, I would love a shed gym 💪🏼
shred shed
If you're happy, I'm happy!
Looks like great work. Many years from now, the wood might give out. It really just depends on your humidity levels and soil content. Just replace it and repack it.
Great video!
It's pressure treated and I sealed it but it never know.
@NoFate247 👍
Looks great! I also just had one built to make more space in the garage gym
you do it yourself?
@NoFate247 no way José. I had the same thought process as you, why break my back when I can pay someone to do it in 1/4 of the time
Cool project!
Thanks! Do you want to see more videos like this in the future
@ that would be great!
Checking in, great video!
How is your weekend going
More storage is underrated
Exactly
Spray that wood yearly with taurus sc to help keep away termites and other wdi bugs. Good price for that.
Thanks I will do that. I thought it was a good price considering the equipment they used and how hard they worked
Perfect timing, I have 2 people coming to give me a quote this month
Oh definitely let me know what they say
Very cool! What are you doing about drainage and allowing the water to flow around the shed?
The shed has an overhang and the curated stone offers drainage too
I have no clue about any of that, but $4,600 seems fair. It's hard to find good people to do "small" jobs like that. Glad the other guy was honest about being unable to tackle the job and didn't set you up for failure.
Yeah the other guy could have taken my money and done a horrible job or told me he couldn't do it after working on it a while
Nice I had my father in law help me with the ground prior to the shed people coming over and building it. We went with Home Depot 12x10 or 8 can’t remember 3 yrs ago. We painted it same color as the house wish we got the 16x20
Any tips on how to store stuff so it isn't crazy cluttered
@ not entirely as it has a kinda loft area we put the big lighter stuff to keep out of the way and lots of big containers from Home Depot for Xmas, Halloween, and random holiday decorations.
Nice.
