It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.
As a quick insight to my background and knowledge of coatings, I was a spray painter at Disneyland in california for a decade or so but with the paint department for twenty-six years. If you can get your shop at least three or four feet high and it can be SAFELY blocked up and secured I recommend you rent an airless spray painter and apply the coating that way - we used bitumastic on the lower exterior surface of the 'submarines' we had, and inside of the trains steam tanks as well, and several other areas where deterioration due to water/rust or rot were a concern. But two things to know is, NEVER "test" the pressure of an airless gun like painter's do with an air supplied spraygun - YOU WILL LOSE YOUR FINGERS! as the pressure will flay (cut) your skin from the bone and this happened to one of our "Journeyman" painters no-less. The second thing is some people are VERY sensitive to bitumastic coming in contact with their skin so make sure you use a heavy duty spray suit, rubber gloves and proper spray mask if you decide to do this your self but if you don't want to spray it, get a brush similar to the ones used to wash a car with because they cover much better than a mop and will be much more manageable than a mop will be. Best of luck and if you have any questions contact me at: lwhalen2016@gmail.com
You smashed it bro, well done. Very cool shed, mum has wanted me to build a shed for a while but didn't think I have the confidence. You have shown me that I could possibly just about do it!
Well this is good inspiration for the day I've got the skills to pull down the existing workshop-sized shed I have in my garden and rebuild it so it's actually insulated and functional. That day is probably a year or more away but I can dream at least. Cracking video
Excellent workshop mate 👍🏻 bit of friendly advice though that codelock is not suitable for that purpose ideally use a 5 lever BS sash lock, codelock Is ok for interior office door but not for exterior door, Also hinges need replacing for more heavy duty. Sashlock will provide a lot more security. Other than that it's absolutely spot on what you've done as your first workshop
Good job!!! Keep in mind that sheds get very hot in the summer season without the correct ventilation and to reduce the heat from coming in add reflective window film for security too.
Jonathan, in all the years of extensive daily youtube viewing, you're the second producer I have contacted. I hope you are using your workshop for video production. Never have I watched such a potentially prosaic video where the production has been so marvellous. A little attention needed to splice the music seamlessly, but, nevertheless, a pleasure to view. So much so, I have lost the thread and will need to watch again, and perhaps again. I am smiling from ear to ear as I listen through headphones. Awesome! Watching again will be far from a chore. Not forgetting to mention how good your workmanship is on the build. Very impressed that you actually showed the dismantling of the old shed, which is an excellent touch - seeing the build process in reverse. Gonna watch again now, and my wife's invited this time. She's a real rock fan, so don't know how she'll react. Thanks a lot.
excellent build. But notice no air gap between your breathable membrane and cladding, so that might cause moisture issues later. Also notice no noggins for the walls??
Don't want to be cheeky, but just want to put it out there... I watch a LOT of maker content. And I know most people are doing it as a passion. But I learn SO much and it's all for free. So when there is someone/ something I like I always try to support them by using their affiliate links. In your case, I've checked the description for the blue thing on your driver, the Permavent and the tar paint and you don't have any. So just wanted to mention in case you want to look in to it. Also, although it's slim on details, the editing is fantastic!
Hey CH3699, Thanks for the comment. You have a point I have added all of those links in Q and A video but for some reason I did not do it on this video. They are now on this video too and if you are wanting to see the Q&A video check the description and here is a link where you can see everything I have used in the build. bit.ly/35P8Rg0 Also thank you so much for your consideration in supporting me
Hey Paul, Glad you enjoyed the video.... I was worries about the flooring too but this is the flooring that every contraction contractor told me to get. It's not your ordinary "chipboard" it's weather resistant, construction grade housing flooring. Thus from my understanding and with a bit of luck i'm not going to have weetabix problems
Nice job ,one thing I would say do not build your walls directly off the chipboard floor. Because if you ever need to replace the floor you will have to cut a edge round the inside of the walls.
Cheers Michael, I'm glad you approve. Here is the weird thing... I thought this too but after speaking to joiners and seeing more house and workshop videos than I care to admit. I saw that a good 95% of builds are like this. Plus the joiners I spoke to agreed with this build too. Honestly, I had no other way to fit it into my budget to do it any other way in the end. I do dread the day if I even need to sort something under the workshop. 😬
hola! me gusto mucho tu taller y el proceso. felicitaciones!!! una pregunta. que tan aislado acusticamente esta ? se escuchan los ruidos afuera? saludos!!!
I really like the design and the editing is amazing. I have a couple questions though, how much did it cost, and what are the dimensions? Edit: Nevermind, he already answered those questions lol. Price was £1200 and dimensions was 2.9 metres x 2.9 metres :-D
Ya, I was away for a little while but now I'm back stronger than ever. I had a little nosy not to long ago on your channel when I was looking at workshop build and heard the trouble you got into thanks to your oh so ummmm concerned neighbors... 😕 Left you a little comment to see if you had a good deal on your plywood and if not to use osb which I found quite budget-friendly. Nah I've not done any advertising or marketing as of yet. Just been interacting with the community around me. Try my best to find other UK based makers.
@@Keep-Making good memory mate, I can't even remember this morning 😭😂 but now you remind me I remember. Ye I'm still getting there slowly with the workshop. 😁
Put a little 30 or 40 degree angled piece of wood at the top of the door lock to protect from worst of the rain. Keep lock well sprayed with ptfe or silicone
Great Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a google search)? It is a great one of a kind guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my good mate called Gray at last got excellent results with it.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost"
Nice build, great edditing work. A new style of video for me I like it. And a good idea that I haven't seen before is with the double sided tape when installing the breathable wall membrane 👍 thanks for your effort & sharing with us.
Hey Danny, I'm so glad to hear you like the style that I'm going for here. In case you used the tape yourself it's not your usual type of tape. It's tyvek moisture-resistant reinforced membrane tape. It's probably one of the most expensive materials I bought for the build. Once again thanks and i'm so glad you enjoyed the effort =)
Love the video and your craftsmanship. I plan to build the shed/gym myself, but almost double the size. I was just wondering was that timber you formed a base from pressure treated, does not look like it is in the video?
Thank you Ivan. Sounds like a great project you got on your hands and yes all the wood studs flooring are pressure treated. The only ones that aren't are the cladding on the outside.
@@Keep-Making great. Yeah, I can't wait to start it, making plans atm. Would like to film it as well, but that is the extra cost as I have no equipment but the pc
@@ivanpuskaric6851 Where there is a will there is a way buddy. I used to film using my laptop and I-touch before I got a camera. 😊. Best of luck on the build!
Hey Jack, I'm glad you liked the build. Thanks for looking out for me. Ya in all honesty the lock picking lawyer has shown me that there is nothing out there that is going to keep anyone out... SO it's nice to just keep the door closed 😂
Hey 67Herby, Thank you very much. You'll see in the update video that I've made that I address this questions. Plus it's down in the description too. =)
Excellent job mate look beautiful im planning to make one like urs in uk I was wondering if u have planner I can use to make my own what screw u used, size of wood etc thankx
Great build. I'm interested as I'm planning a garden build next spring - so one quick question. Why did you choose to put the floor inbetween the base and walls rather than have the floor inside the overall frame?
Cheers Daz, i'm glad you enjoyed it. Honestly speaking, I just followed what a few joiners told me to do.... But long and the short there is not too much diffrence. You could argue that putting the walls on the floor they have more surface area for support. But in all reality on as long as you screw it down well I would imagen you would be good. I know that for home construction in the UK they seem to put the walls ontop of the floors. But not really sure why. Good luck with the project.
What would really topped this build would have been the installation of solar panels on the roof so you could power lights and perhaps battery chargers for your cordless tools.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost"
I think it's a solid effort mate - I would have maybe fitted the insulation boards in the flooring flush with the top of your timbers before covering it with ply - an maybe do some vertical batons on the outside of the breathable membrane before and attach the shiplap to them so you give a little space for the inside to breath out! Overall seems decent through, roof should be alright to as you've got a gutter up etc.
Cheers Iamneallyons, I'm glad you've seen the built form the point of view as a growing lesson for myself as it really is. The vertical batons for sure were needed but by the time I realised it was too late. I did talk to a joiner or two about that and they said I should be ok but to just keep an eye on it. As for the insulation under the floor I have had both advised to me form joiners and I did not know which to go with. So, in the end, I went with the one that I thought fitted best into my way of thinking. If to surfaces are super close then it can turn into a beautiful condition trap which Is the last thing I really wanted. As for the roof i'm more than pleased with it. I was a little worried when it was just the felt but once I put 2 layers of all-weather bitchumen paint on it I gathered it would be more than fine. Thanks for the kind words and letting me know for this I should watch out for in the future 😊
@@Keep-Making i started about 3 weeks ago, the weather has been utter shite since iv started lol - slowly getting there, got the roof on last night - iv made a mistake however in that iv done an overhang on the front and rear of the pent roof but not on the outsides as i only had 8ft timber available to me (for free) so im trying to make do without spending anymore than i need to, considering just overhanging the OSB 100mm either side of the roof to create a small overhang.
@@iamneallyons4263 Oh dear! I feel you pain.... weather is SUCH a pain!... An overhang of any kind is worth it. Just make sure you reinforce it as there great spots to let a strong gust of wind come and rip a roof off a wind-driven rain to get in. I wish you all the best with the rest of your build.
Just watched your bid Jonathan, Great stuff, cool times and video. I wish my wife mucked in with the diy, she just instructs and then had a lie in. 😂 I'm having a look around for some designs as my old trusty shed will only last another winter. Yours would be ideal minus the rigid floor insulation, I take it that was the dearest one off cost? Cheers for the vid, Great job
Hey Stephen, HA! ya I was able to get the ms. to help me out for a bit. But she was quite busy with work so I had to do most of it, unfortunately. But hay at least I got a helping hand. As for plans... Well, i'm sorry to say that they are not public just yet. Are you in a rush? In a little while, i'll be doing a few videos on the plans and how to do it all in blender. As for cost-wise... I don't think so.... The Kingspan is actually quite cheap. I think the roof was the dearest, the felt, glue and the blackjack all together are quite costly but worth it... Take a look at the Q and A video as there is quite a bit of info in there and the link in the description of that video has a list of everything I used. Good luck on the build and I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Great job pal, I'm looking to do the same, a little man cave/gaming gataway. Did you follow any plans? And what lumber did you have to get? I'm a complete newby and this will be my first project. Thank you in advance and also for the great video.
Hey Ryan, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I'm a complete newby here too. Nop no plans I just make my on design on the computer almost down the the last screw and that made it. I'll add all these questions into the soon to come video.
Nice video. Please answer me these questions three : 1) What are standard UK dimensions for spacing the frame? ( I.e so you only have to adjust length of insulation and not the width). 2) Software to determine materials on the ipad and 3) Approx Budget? Thank you sir!
Hey there Nick, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I'll make sure I add these questions to my FAQ video as for right now. 1) Usually, it's called 600mm from centres. Make sure you get the right boards which should be 1200 x 2400mm 2) It's manually made using air table. 100% free. I'll make sure I add some info of this in the FAQ video. 3) It's in the description of the video. I hope that helps 😀
Hey Creature Flesh Masks, Not as of yet but there is a video I plan to come out within the next few weeks where i'll be doing into all this detail. Let me know if there is anything ells you would like to know.
I am currently watching videos of how to build a small garden house. your video is great. I'm going to build such a cottage now. Could you send me the workflow and how did you use the material? well thank you. you did a good job.
Two little things: 1) that’s an awesome video well made and super entertaining 2)how did it take you to build this beauty ? Thanks again and keep pushing !
Thanks so much for the encouragement Fabien. 1. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. 2. Honestly, if I was not filming it would of taken me about 4 - 7 days. Because I was filming it took around 14 days of work but 25 days of time due to bad weather.
Great video, thank you. It's really helpful for a DIY novice like myself. We're hoping to build something similar. Did you leave an air gap under the floor or did the insulation fill it? Also, did you attach the floor to the patio base and if so how? Thanks
What a fantastic video ! (Subbed) Not only the shed build itself is great but the music, photography and editing are superb, it was like watching a "professional video" well done looks like a great project . Looking forward to see what you build inside it now ? Take care

Thanks. It's Treatex Exterior oils sheer. I warn you tho it's not cheap...! Just 2.5L of the stuff cost me £73. It's because I have breathing walls and I wanted to try and keep the natural colour too.
Hi there, really tasty work. Well done. I plan on starting a 16 x 10 foot shed in the next month but I have a question. Regarding your breathable membrane and insulation....This is only a question, not some smart statement, but is there not supposed to be a air gap between your outermost timbers and the insulation to allow for cool air transfer and avoid sweating? I'm a bit confused by some conflicting information, Is your shed staying dry? Cheers man.
Hey there Jody, If you take a look at my FAQ video I mention that the only thing i really did bad was exsactly that. I needed to add some batons in between the cladding and the membrane. But, thankfuly as i made it all a breathing structure I have no problem with moisture and it's all still dry.
Hi Jonathan, Great build video. Were did you source the door and windows for the build? Also I was wondering if you had any plans you could share about how the roof was made? (e.g. what cuts to make and difference in height between front and back wall?)
I sourced the door and windows form my local scrap / recycling center. As for the roof pitch... That really does change depending on the size of the build. In my area is strongly recommended to have a pitch of a minimum of 5 degrees. My roof is a 7 degrees pitch from my highest point of 2.5m. I hope that helps.
Hello, the workshop looks great. Given the insulation, did you find that the you needed any ventilation when working in there to prevent condensation? Also, what pitch is the roof (perhaps 25 degrees?) and have you found it to be steep enough to stop water ingress? Thanks in advance, Gerry.
Hey Gerry, I designed the whole build to be a breathable building so I've not needed ventilation as of yet. As for the pitch I have it at 7.25 degrees. Which I was happy with as I was adding a coating to my roof.
hi brill video think you got door on upside down wide rail that you got for your head of door should be on bottom thought maybe you got door like that lol thanks
Cheers Nick, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Yup that is pretty much how I got the door plus I only really had one option to mount it as I wanted it to open outward to give me a little bit more room for larger projects in the future. Thanks for the heads up thou. I did spend about 20 minutes just looking at the door to thing of which way round I should mount the freaking thing.... but oh well it works and it only cost me £5 so beggers can't be choosers.
your going to want to put some kind of edge cap on the felt. you also need some end bits in each corner of the exterior to hide the end grain of the tongue and groove. things will move in winter especially those little tac nails. trust me u will be re nailing or even screwing in a year or two
Hey Welsh Maniacs, I don't know about the caps as it's all pretty much sealed off. As for the tacks holding the cladding. Ya I have a feeling I might have to screw them in too... I did have a little problem with cupping wood. But once I added my topcoat of sealing oil that pretty much stopped 90% of all my warping issues. Fingers crossed for a cold winter tho. It's been through once already but I would not really call it a "cold" one.
@@mullettjf breathable membrane to the outside, between studs and baton, allows moisture to wick to the outside due to air flow. Visqueen vapor barrier prevents moisture , contacting the internal substrate, thus preventing Mould
I have a few questions (in jest) that I didn't see answered in your excellent video or in the video description! 1. What are the external dimensions of your helper? 2. Was she available at your local industrial supplies depo or was she special order only? 3. Was clothing an added cost? 4. Did she come with instructions? 5. Did she come with an extended warranty or did your have to pay extra for a life time guarantee? 6. Does she follow directions? 7. Would your recommend one like her to others or is she cost prohibitive? Only kidding!!!
hi @Maker Tales I am in the middle of building a shed have you had any problems with mould on wall or ceiling ..plus do you have heating in your shed? many thanks in advance
Loved the video - great work. Did you design it on paper first or make a Sketchup model. All your bits seemed to be very clearly labelled. Are you willing/able to share the plans?
Hey James, I'm so happy to hear that you have enjoyed the video. I did do rough planning on paper and then jumped right into rhino 3d which is my preferred modelling program. Yup I spend a good few days planning out that labelling system. I wanted to be able to cut everything out and then put it together like one big DIY flatpack. As for the plans, it's not that I don't want to share them, I just know I'm inexperienced and there are going to be flaws all over this build, that quite frankly I don't know about. I did try my best to get as many joiners and architects friends to take a look at it but even still. So the idea that someones follow these plans to the letter and they have an issue at any point. I would feel quite responsible. Having said all of that... If you want to just take a look at it, I'm more than happy to share them out, as long as your well aware to take these plans not just with a grain of salt but with a heaped spoon. Sound good?
Hello mate. Can you give us a breakdown of the costs and also the materials you used, is what type of stud, what type of instillation, what type of mdf for floors. Love the video by the way, watched everyone second without skipping any part!
I’m planning to do the same in my garden. I’ve been quoted £7K labour and materials excluding the fascia material. Thinking to do it myself and atleast save on the labour
Hey there Ruddy, I'll have a video coming out in a little while where i'll have a lot more detail on it all. All the wood in just pressure treated timber 95x45mm or 45x145mm the flooring is standard house construction tongue and grove treated flooring. The insulation is 100mm slab rock wool as I wanted sound absorption over thermal retention. I love that you have enjoyed the video so much and that i may have inspired you. As for the cost of the build, in total around £1200 a little more info in the video description. Sounds like 80% of your quote is labour. Which in all honesty is I can't really say much on as it really depends on skill, experience and quality. But to give you a rough Idea I charge £50 an hour as a minimum and I would say For a client this would be a 60 - 100 hour job just one guy doing it. I don't know your full personal situation but If your fine with hard labour, screw-ups and the adventure of learning on the job It's a great project. My top tip is PLANNING! down to the last screw.... It will help greatly! Plus make sure you are clued up on your local restrictions. Hope that helps and good luck with whichever decision you make 😀
@@Keep-Making Hey, thanks so much for your reply and the detail. After watching your video, I think I will get my guy to just lay a concrete bed down for me, and then I will have a go myself. One more question, suppose I have a go myself and mid project it starts raining, can I leave the pressure treated timber out in the rain. I.e if I build the shell of the unit and leave it exposed bare for a few days or rain, will the timber go bad?
No problem Ruddy, Long and the short is the dryer it stays the easier it is to work with and over all less problems there are to deal with. i.e. easer to cut, work has not expanded yet ect I personally got myself a few blue tarps and covered everything to the best of my ability when I was not working on it or if it was raining. Have FUN!
got 2 questions :) nr 1 Why did you not raise the frame of the shed on lifters so its not directly to the ground for rot etc to get a hold of it .. nr 2 did you put in 0.7 - 1 inch of spacing between outer boards and the frame so there is ventilation in it so it also wont get mold and rot.. ty in advance , EXELLENT video btw
Hey TheMulchingMan, I used rhino but form now on i'm using blender and in a month or two i'll be showing how to design your own in blender too. If you want I have a series on my channel teaching blender 2.91 from square one and once this course if finished i'll be doing the workshop / shed design and cheers! I'm glad you like the workshop.
I enjoyed this and found it useful but have been looking for the 2nd video you mentioned in the intro. Can’t find it, did you do one and if so can you post a link? Cheers
Hey Shaun, sorry the video it not up yet but it's 100% coming soon as i'm going to be doing a 1 year round up and answer all questions. Speaking of which let me know any questions you might have and i'll do my best to answer them.
Amazingly edited video. I'm starting to design my own workshop for the bottom of the garden. What's the design software you show at around the 2:10 mark?
Hey David, Thank you I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Great to hear you're tackling this project. The design software is called rhino but I now use blender. In a few weeks time, I'll be doing a whole "Detailed" remodeling of my workshop in blender to teach others how to go about designing a build-in blender. Plus if you don't know blender at all I have a whole series to teach blender for the very start in precision modeling 🤓 I hope that helps.
Oh my goodness that was about 20000 too many slow mo close ups of very little happening for me but for the average DIY'er I guess it would be very motivating. Your build quality is very impressive (except for your inside-out door hinges), Guess that's how you do things in the UK. In Australia it would fly away and roll down the street in the first storm we get, we have to dig concrete footings and bolt everything down. A lot of use of non durable species on the outside of the structure - I can't believe they even make (untreated?) pine weatherboards over there but about 9 months with exterior rated treatment on them and they'd start rotting here, the pine base you used would be devoured pretty quickly in my neighbourhood - we have termites everywhere in Sydney and other wood eating bugs - gotta be H4/H5 treatment if it's going to be on the ground or it turns to mush in no time.
Hey One Man Bad Woodworks, I'm glad you like the build quality. Sorry it's too much slow-mo for you. WOW sounds like you have it ROUGH! I guess that's another reason of many scary and deadly things of why I don't live in Australia. 😅. Ya the cladding is raw wood as here we have many eco villages and breathing wall structures here. The cladding is now heavily treated with "eco" treatment but my god was it expensive £60 for 2L . TO be fair the door is on the wrong way but the space is SO small that it was a design choice to have it open outward to let me have a little more space for larger projects or machines in the future.
Hey Matts, I don't plan on doing a step by step as this was my first build and there are so many regulations around the world that I don't want to be held responsible for things that may happen to others. However I soon plan on doing an FAQ video and I'll make sure to add all the materials used and so on in that video. Anything ells you might like to know?
Love it love it. Mine - hopefully once this lockdown refurb of the home is done - a combination of yours and the Colin Furze shed! Also now a new Tigerblood Jewel fan - thanks in part to Shazam but of course yourself and the above video, excellent camera work :) Subscribed :-D
Mate, This was a AWESOME build, thanks for sharing it, your partner and you are not just adept at buidling but great at camera angles, very slick n pro! I just started to build a little DIY tool store in the back of my garden a few days ago, i will defo use some of your handy tips. please keep on sharing ideas, i have subscribed!
Thank you so much rkgooner89, I'm really glad that you enjoyed the video and got trips from it. I'll definitely have more and a bit of maker everything in the future.
Thanks Greame, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Well, it took me about 3 weeks due to weather and filming it all. However, If the weather was always good and I was not filming I would say I could have it made in 5 - 7 days.
Great video BTW, very well made. I'm unsure what do do with my flat roof. For extra water tightness should I vapour barrier the roof or use some left over dpm I have? If so what does my felt bind to, only the vapour barrier/dpm? Won't it flap about? I don't really want to roof nail the felt as I dont want to put holes into the felt? How do i get around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
Honestly speaking this was one of of my biggest consequences too. My fall back / playing it safe option was to use black jack all weather roof coating it's a crazy rugged bitumen paint and with 2 - 3 coats of that stuff and your roof should be good for a solid few years... I hope that comes in handy. Ans keep safe if you so use it. It's some sinky, sicky stuff. Eye protection and full separator is a MUST! (Also mix it very well and a stiff large brush works best in my opinion)
It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.
This shed has been built better than most new build homes 😂
As a quick insight to my background and knowledge of coatings, I was a spray painter at Disneyland in california for a decade or so but with the paint department for twenty-six years.
If you can get your shop at least three or four feet high and it can be SAFELY blocked up and secured I recommend you rent an airless spray painter and apply the coating that way - we used bitumastic on the lower exterior surface of the 'submarines' we had, and inside of the trains steam tanks as well, and several other areas where deterioration due to water/rust or rot were a concern.
But two things to know is, NEVER "test" the pressure of an airless gun like painter's do with an air supplied spraygun - YOU WILL LOSE YOUR FINGERS! as the pressure will flay (cut) your skin from the bone and this happened to one of our "Journeyman" painters no-less.
The second thing is some people are VERY sensitive to bitumastic coming in contact with their skin so make sure you use a heavy duty spray suit, rubber gloves and proper spray mask if you decide to do this your self but if you don't want to spray it, get a brush similar to the ones used to wash a car with because they cover much better than a mop and will be much more manageable than a mop will be.
Best of luck and if you have any questions contact me at:

You took a relatively small project and made it seem epic. Also the build quality on this workshop is top class. Good work!
Cheers Tyler,
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the compliment 😀
Don’t suppose you can list all materials and tools used? Maybe even links to some bits where you got them from?
It looks pro and expensive. The video has accurate timelapse and nice shots. Like it. Thumbs-up

Thank you Stephen. Currency almost nothing is left in there over night but that will soon be changing so i'll look into your suggestions. Thank you.
Good job!!! Keep in mind that sheds get very hot in the summer season without the correct ventilation and to reduce the heat from coming in add reflective window film for security too.
Cheers Iraj,
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Also great Idea I'll see if I can get a hold of some of that for the summer.
Jonathan, in all the years of extensive daily youtube viewing, you're the second producer I have contacted. I hope you are using your workshop for video production. Never have I watched such a potentially prosaic video where the production has been so marvellous. A little attention needed to splice the music seamlessly, but, nevertheless, a pleasure to view. So much so, I have lost the thread and will need to watch again, and perhaps again. I am smiling from ear to ear as I listen through headphones. Awesome! Watching again will be far from a chore.
Not forgetting to mention how good your workmanship is on the build. Very impressed that you actually showed the dismantling of the old shed, which is an excellent touch - seeing the build process in reverse.
Gonna watch again now, and my wife's invited this time. She's a real rock fan, so don't know how she'll react.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for the kind words John. It was a pleasure to make something like this. I hope your wife enjoyed it as much as you did.
Excellent video thank you would be interested in your material list what sized bearer’s, and stud timbers etc... thank you:)
excellent build. But notice no air gap between your breathable membrane and cladding, so that might cause moisture issues later. Also notice no noggins for the walls??
Your shed is ace, your montage is badass and your slow mo's are on point.

Don't want to be cheeky, but just want to put it out there...
I watch a LOT of maker content. And I know most people are doing it as a passion. But I learn SO much and it's all for free. So when there is someone/ something I like I always try to support them by using their affiliate links. In your case, I've checked the description for the blue thing on your driver, the Permavent and the tar paint and you don't have any. So just wanted to mention in case you want to look in to it.
Also, although it's slim on details, the editing is fantastic!
Hey CH3699,
Thanks for the comment. You have a point I have added all of those links in Q and A video but for some reason I did not do it on this video. They are now on this video too and if you are wanting to see the Q&A video check the description and here is a link where you can see everything I have used in the build. bit.ly/35P8Rg0
Also thank you so much for your consideration in supporting me
British boy you did an excellent job. Your is the best, but we need the material list if possible. Thank sir.
That is one gloriously over engineered British shed! I like it. I'll check out some of your other videos.
Thank you very much Bradbury 😅
i would have taken that original shed and put it up in my garden haha
Quality build, quality filming, banging tunes, what more do you need to inspire.
......... But what about that chipboard floor. Weetabix here we come.
Hey Paul, Glad you enjoyed the video.... I was worries about the flooring too but this is the flooring that every contraction contractor told me to get. It's not your ordinary "chipboard" it's weather resistant, construction grade housing flooring. Thus from my understanding and with a bit of luck i'm not going to have weetabix problems
Fair enough. I'll look at it as an option when I start my build. Thanks.
Would be totally frickin awesome to see this build from start to finish in the new CAD Sketcher add-on in Blender!
AH HAAAA!!!
And welcome to BBC Norwich. My name is Alan Partridge, and in tonight’s show....👍🏻🇬🇧🏴🤣😂
Crash bang wallop, what a video!
Jurassic park 🦕
You should make a video on making a custom work bench that suits your needs and skills 💪👊🤟great video though
I'm glad you enjoy the video aaron,
When you say suites my needs what do you have in mind?
Nice job ,one thing I would say do not build your walls directly off the chipboard floor. Because if you ever need to replace the floor you will have to cut a edge round the inside of the walls.
Cheers Michael, I'm glad you approve. Here is the weird thing... I thought this too but after speaking to joiners and seeing more house and workshop videos than I care to admit. I saw that a good 95% of builds are like this. Plus the joiners I spoke to agreed with this build too. Honestly, I had no other way to fit it into my budget to do it any other way in the end. I do dread the day if I even need to sort something under the workshop. 😬
hola! me gusto mucho tu taller y el proceso. felicitaciones!!! una pregunta. que tan aislado acusticamente esta ? se escuchan los ruidos afuera? saludos!!!
Amazing project, so impressed with the filming and editing as well. Really good vid
Thank you very much Graham.
I really like the design and the editing is amazing. I have a couple questions though, how much did it cost, and what are the dimensions?
Edit: Nevermind, he already answered those questions lol. Price was £1200 and dimensions was 2.9 metres x 2.9 metres :-D
I'm really glad you enjoyed it Ahmed.
Surely you could’ve bought a decent t and g one for not much different amount.
@@stephenpeacock2627 wouldn’t be anywhere near as study plus no insulation - sheds are ridiculously priced for what they are now
Just wish I knew what was going on.Its a rock concert!!
Oh no I recognise your videos now you have being away for a while, I take it you are back in the game now! 😁
Ya, I was away for a little while but now I'm back stronger than ever. I had a little nosy not to long ago on your channel when I was looking at workshop build and heard the trouble you got into thanks to your oh so ummmm concerned neighbors... 😕 Left you a little comment to see if you had a good deal on your plywood and if not to use osb which I found quite budget-friendly. Nah I've not done any advertising or marketing as of yet. Just been interacting with the community around me. Try my best to find other UK based makers.
@@Keep-Making good memory mate, I can't even remember this morning 😭😂 but now you remind me I remember. Ye I'm still getting there slowly with the workshop. 😁
Put a little 30 or 40 degree angled piece of wood at the top of the door lock to protect from worst of the rain. Keep lock well sprayed with ptfe or silicone
Well done. Excellent job. I'm planning something similar myself in a few weeks. I like the roof on this one👍
Cheers Primez5,
Good luck with your build! I'm sure you'll enjoy the process.
Great Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a google search)? It is a great one of a kind guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my good mate called Gray at last got excellent results with it.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost"
@@joeygibbs4775 john 3:16...??
Thank you for the great video. Could you advise on the software used for design of the shed calculation of required timber?
The sound track.......awesome!!
Cracking shed there buddy.
Have to say your videoing and editing are very impressive.
New subscriber here.
Thanks for sharing
Cheers Lee, I'm really glad you enjoyed it =)
Nice build, great edditing work.
A new style of video for me I like it. And a good idea that I haven't seen before is with the double sided tape when installing the breathable wall membrane 👍 thanks for your effort & sharing with us.
Hey Danny, I'm so glad to hear you like the style that I'm going for here. In case you used the tape yourself it's not your usual type of tape. It's tyvek moisture-resistant reinforced membrane tape. It's probably one of the most expensive materials I bought for the build. Once again thanks and i'm so glad you enjoyed the effort =)
Love the video and your craftsmanship. I plan to build the shed/gym myself, but almost double the size. I was just wondering was that timber you formed a base from pressure treated, does not look like it is in the video?
Thank you Ivan. Sounds like a great project you got on your hands and yes all the wood studs flooring are pressure treated. The only ones that aren't are the cladding on the outside.
@@Keep-Making great. Yeah, I can't wait to start it, making plans atm. Would like to film it as well, but that is the extra cost as I have no equipment but the pc
@@ivanpuskaric6851 Where there is a will there is a way buddy. I used to film using my laptop and I-touch before I got a camera. 😊. Best of luck on the build!
Great build, only issue i can see is the lock. very easy to get screwdriver in to knock catch across
Hey Jack,
I'm glad you liked the build. Thanks for looking out for me.
Ya in all honesty the lock picking lawyer has shown me that there is nothing out there that is going to keep anyone out... SO it's nice to just keep the door closed 😂
Came out beautiful, love the look. But if you’re going to use it as a work shop I saw no outlets or lights.
Hey 67Herby,
Thank you very much.
You'll see in the update video that I've made that I address this questions. Plus it's down in the description too. =)
I’m thirteen and j find this stuff so entertaining
Excellent job mate look beautiful im planning to make one like urs in uk I was wondering if u have planner I can use to make my own what screw u used, size of wood etc thankx
Give me a few weeks and there will be a video you will be very interested about coming out
great video, and really well edited and curt straight to what we wanted to see - good work sir!
So glad you enjoyed it Plans Northeast!
Nice looking shed. Just one question ,why have you hung your door upside down?
Cheers Rob, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Ummm bit of a long story... Take a quick look in the description and all will be explained.
Great build. I'm interested as I'm planning a garden build next spring - so one quick question. Why did you choose to put the floor inbetween the base and walls rather than have the floor inside the overall frame?
Cheers Daz, i'm glad you enjoyed it. Honestly speaking, I just followed what a few joiners told me to do.... But long and the short there is not too much diffrence. You could argue that putting the walls on the floor they have more surface area for support. But in all reality on as long as you screw it down well I would imagen you would be good. I know that for home construction in the UK they seem to put the walls ontop of the floors. But not really sure why. Good luck with the project.
What would really topped this build would have been the installation of solar panels on the roof so you could power lights and perhaps battery chargers for your cordless tools.
I really like the modern look of that shed.
It gives me inspiration.
Good work!
Thank you very much Build it simple!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost"
I think it's a solid effort mate - I would have maybe fitted the insulation boards in the flooring flush with the top of your timbers before covering it with ply - an maybe do some vertical batons on the outside of the breathable membrane before and attach the shiplap to them so you give a little space for the inside to breath out! Overall seems decent through, roof should be alright to as you've got a gutter up etc.
Cheers Iamneallyons,
I'm glad you've seen the built form the point of view as a growing lesson for myself as it really is. The vertical batons for sure were needed but by the time I realised it was too late. I did talk to a joiner or two about that and they said I should be ok but to just keep an eye on it. As for the insulation under the floor I have had both advised to me form joiners and I did not know which to go with. So, in the end, I went with the one that I thought fitted best into my way of thinking. If to surfaces are super close then it can turn into a beautiful condition trap which Is the last thing I really wanted. As for the roof i'm more than pleased with it. I was a little worried when it was just the felt but once I put 2 layers of all-weather bitchumen paint on it I gathered it would be more than fine. Thanks for the kind words and letting me know for this I should watch out for in the future 😊
@@Keep-Making cool mate, im about to knock another shed up in a few weeks im just waiting on the weather improving a little bit!
@@iamneallyons4263 OH my.... I know that waiting feeling. During this build, I waited more days than it took to build lol
@@Keep-Making i started about 3 weeks ago, the weather has been utter shite since iv started lol - slowly getting there, got the roof on last night - iv made a mistake however in that iv done an overhang on the front and rear of the pent roof but not on the outsides as i only had 8ft timber available to me (for free) so im trying to make do without spending anymore than i need to, considering just overhanging the OSB 100mm either side of the roof to create a small overhang.
@@iamneallyons4263 Oh dear! I feel you pain.... weather is SUCH a pain!... An overhang of any kind is worth it. Just make sure you reinforce it as there great spots to let a strong gust of wind come and rip a roof off a wind-driven rain to get in. I wish you all the best with the rest of your build.
Hi looks great can U share the project + material that U used, thank you
Yup i'm be sharing that info real soon. Let me know any questions you might have.
Hi there great vid....can I just ask how come you have the door upside down ???😮
You are very good at making videos
Thank you Jacob!
Just watched your bid Jonathan, Great stuff, cool times and video.
I wish my wife mucked in with the diy, she just instructs and then had a lie in. 😂
I'm having a look around for some designs as my old trusty shed will only last another winter.
Yours would be ideal minus the rigid floor insulation, I take it that was the dearest one off cost?
Cheers for the vid, Great job
Hey Stephen, HA! ya I was able to get the ms. to help me out for a bit. But she was quite busy with work so I had to do most of it, unfortunately. But hay at least I got a helping hand. As for plans... Well, i'm sorry to say that they are not public just yet. Are you in a rush? In a little while, i'll be doing a few videos on the plans and how to do it all in blender. As for cost-wise... I don't think so.... The Kingspan is actually quite cheap. I think the roof was the dearest, the felt, glue and the blackjack all together are quite costly but worth it... Take a look at the Q and A video as there is quite a bit of info in there and the link in the description of that video has a list of everything I used.
Good luck on the build and I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Great job pal, I'm looking to do the same, a little man cave/gaming gataway. Did you follow any plans? And what lumber did you have to get? I'm a complete newby and this will be my first project. Thank you in advance and also for the great video.
Hey Ryan, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I'm a complete newby here too.
Nop no plans I just make my on design on the computer almost down the the last screw and that made it.
I'll add all these questions into the soon to come video.
Looking forward that video pal.
How much in total did this project cost?
That one is in the description but around £1200
This music immediately makes me feel like I’m being sold a bearskin hoodie 😂
Hi workshop looks great mate. Were all of these materials sourced separately or was this like a workshop bundle all in?
Thanks Stu. Each part was sourced separately. I made one hell of a plan before hand thus it looks like it's almost a kit.
Nice video. Please answer me these questions three : 1) What are standard UK dimensions for spacing the frame? ( I.e so you only have to adjust length of insulation and not the width). 2) Software to determine materials on the ipad and 3) Approx Budget? Thank you sir!
Hey there Nick, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I'll make sure I add these questions to my FAQ video as for right now.
1) Usually, it's called 600mm from centres. Make sure you get the right boards which should be 1200 x 2400mm
2) It's manually made using air table. 100% free. I'll make sure I add some info of this in the FAQ video.
3) It's in the description of the video.
I hope that helps 😀
@@Keep-Making Thank you very much! Subbed.
Great video! Where did you get your timber supply from? Do you have a breakdown of the materials you used in the build? Thanks!
Hey Creature Flesh Masks,
Not as of yet but there is a video I plan to come out within the next few weeks where i'll be doing into all this detail. Let me know if there is anything ells you would like to know.
I am currently watching videos of how to build a small garden house. your video is great. I'm going to build such a cottage now. Could you send me the workflow and how did you use the material? well thank you. you did a good job.
Hey Tomas, whereabouts are you based?
Honestly, the majority is just pressure treated 95x45 and 145x45 for the floor.
The video is fun to watch. Why there is nothing on top of the roofing?. What is the name of the material that you used for wall and the oil paint?
Hey Pafe, I think you'll find most of your answers here: th-cam.com/video/o20i5UIxPC0/w-d-xo.html
Hi looks great do you have a list of wood used and possibly a cut list sizes etc. Thanks
This will be coming soon, Let me know if you have any other questions to make sure I cover it in the up coming video.
Two little things:
1) that’s an awesome video well made and super entertaining
2)how did it take you to build this beauty ?
Thanks again and keep pushing !
Thanks so much for the encouragement Fabien.
1. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.
2. Honestly, if I was not filming it would of taken me about 4 - 7 days. Because I was filming it took around 14 days of work but 25 days of time due to bad weather.
Maker Tales well I’m glad you filmed it, and the editing is so well made good job.
Great video, thank you. It's really helpful for a DIY novice like myself. We're hoping to build something similar.
Did you leave an air gap under the floor or did the insulation fill it? Also, did you attach the floor to the patio base and if so how? Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video. I just put the floor right on the base with screws.
Shed builders?NO❌
Video editor?YES!✅
Great build.
What was the grey stuff you used to joint the osb boards prior to painting?
Hey matt, that grey stuff is just filler for "large" wholes. I ran out of normal filler so I just used that stuff.
Absolutely brilliant!im in Scotland too,and planing to build shed also.which software did you use to make design and cutting list?
What a fantastic video ! (Subbed) Not only the shed build itself is great but the music, photography and editing are superb, it was like watching a "professional video" well done looks like a great project . Looking forward to see what you build inside it now ? Take care
Thank you so much WashbourneWed !
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I'll keep doing my best to improve where I can 😊

Great video. think it took you longer to make the video than building the shed. love it !
100%! Yes it took me much longer to film that to make it 😂
Beautiful work! What product d'you use to finish the wood outside? Saludos!
Thanks. It's Treatex Exterior oils sheer. I warn you tho it's not cheap...! Just 2.5L of the stuff cost me £73. It's because I have breathing walls and I wanted to try and keep the natural colour too.
@@Keep-Making love natural color too, thanks!!!
Hi there, really tasty work. Well done. I plan on starting a 16 x 10 foot shed in the next month but I have a question.
Regarding your breathable membrane and insulation....This is only a question, not some smart statement, but is there not supposed to be a air gap between your outermost timbers and the insulation to allow for cool air transfer and avoid sweating? I'm a bit confused by some conflicting information, Is your shed staying dry? Cheers man.
Hey there Jody, If you take a look at my FAQ video I mention that the only thing i really did bad was exsactly that. I needed to add some batons in between the cladding and the membrane. But, thankfuly as i made it all a breathing structure I have no problem with moisture and it's all still dry.
Nice video, and great little workshop space. One question, no power?
Wow what a brilliant workshop mate... how much did it cost roughly ? When I think that I paid £600 for a 8 x 10 foot general shed.
Cheers Chris, roughly around £1200.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😀
Hi Jonathan, Great build video. Were did you source the door and windows for the build? Also I was wondering if you had any plans you could share about how the roof was made? (e.g. what cuts to make and difference in height between front and back wall?)
I sourced the door and windows form my local scrap / recycling center. As for the roof pitch... That really does change depending on the size of the build. In my area is strongly recommended to have a pitch of a minimum of 5 degrees. My roof is a 7 degrees pitch from my highest point of 2.5m. I hope that helps.
Hello, the workshop looks great. Given the insulation, did you find that the you needed any ventilation when working in there to prevent condensation? Also, what pitch is the roof (perhaps 25 degrees?) and have you found it to be steep enough to stop water ingress? Thanks in advance, Gerry.
Hey Gerry, I designed the whole build to be a breathable building so I've not needed ventilation as of yet. As for the pitch I have it at 7.25 degrees. Which I was happy with as I was adding a coating to my roof.
hi brill video think you got door on upside down wide rail that you got for your head of door should be on bottom thought maybe you got door like that lol thanks
Cheers Nick, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.
Yup that is pretty much how I got the door plus I only really had one option to mount it as I wanted it to open outward to give me a little bit more room for larger projects in the future. Thanks for the heads up thou. I did spend about 20 minutes just looking at the door to thing of which way round I should mount the freaking thing.... but oh well it works and it only cost me £5 so beggers can't be choosers.
your going to want to put some kind of edge cap on the felt. you also need some end bits in each corner of the exterior to hide the end grain of the tongue and groove. things will move in winter especially those little tac nails. trust me u will be re nailing or even screwing in a year or two
Hey Welsh Maniacs,
I don't know about the caps as it's all pretty much sealed off. As for the tacks holding the cladding. Ya I have a feeling I might have to screw them in too... I did have a little problem with cupping wood. But once I added my topcoat of sealing oil that pretty much stopped 90% of all my warping issues. Fingers crossed for a cold winter tho. It's been through once already but I would not really call it a "cold" one.
Superb job, well done!
No vapor barrier, no ventilation between membrane and cladding. you may find it sweats a little
He wrapped the whole frame in a vapor barrier did he not???
@@iamneallyons4263 , there should be a vapor barrier on the inside, between the osb and insulation.
@@jamoco1 How's that going to work because any vapor will then just go through the barrier onto the osb wouldn't it?
He put a vapour barrier round the whole lot... only thing I may have added was a vapour barrier under the timber that’s in contact with slabs.
@@mullettjf breathable membrane to the outside, between studs and baton, allows moisture to wick to the outside due to air flow.
Visqueen vapor barrier prevents moisture , contacting the internal substrate, thus preventing Mould
I have a few questions (in jest) that I didn't see answered in your excellent video or in the video description!
1. What are the external dimensions of your helper?
2. Was she available at your local industrial supplies depo or was she special order only?
3. Was clothing an added cost?
4. Did she come with instructions?
5. Did she come with an extended warranty or did your have to pay extra for a life time guarantee?
6. Does she follow directions?
7. Would your recommend one like her to others or is she cost prohibitive?
Only kidding!!!
How did you work out the pitch for your roof?
hi @Maker Tales I am in the middle of building a shed have you had any problems with mould on wall or ceiling ..plus do you have heating in your shed? many thanks in advance
I don’t understand any of this 🤣 but I like it. Subbed.
Excellent build and excellent video. Well done!
Perfectionist- love it.....
Yup.... I have one hell of an over achieving "shed"
Nicely done!: Hollywood quality!
Loved the video - great work. Did you design it on paper first or make a Sketchup model. All your bits seemed to be very clearly labelled. Are you willing/able to share the plans?
Hey James, I'm so happy to hear that you have enjoyed the video. I did do rough planning on paper and then jumped right into rhino 3d which is my preferred modelling program. Yup I spend a good few days planning out that labelling system. I wanted to be able to cut everything out and then put it together like one big DIY flatpack. As for the plans, it's not that I don't want to share them, I just know I'm inexperienced and there are going to be flaws all over this build, that quite frankly I don't know about. I did try my best to get as many joiners and architects friends to take a look at it but even still. So the idea that someones follow these plans to the letter and they have an issue at any point. I would feel quite responsible. Having said all of that... If you want to just take a look at it, I'm more than happy to share them out, as long as your well aware to take these plans not just with a grain of salt but with a heaped spoon. Sound good?
Hello mate. Can you give us a breakdown of the costs and also the materials you used, is what type of stud, what type of instillation, what type of mdf for floors.
Love the video by the way, watched everyone second without skipping any part!
I’m planning to do the same in my garden. I’ve been quoted £7K labour and materials excluding the fascia material. Thinking to do it myself and atleast save on the labour
Hey there Ruddy, I'll have a video coming out in a little while where i'll have a lot more detail on it all. All the wood in just pressure treated timber 95x45mm or 45x145mm the flooring is standard house construction tongue and grove treated flooring. The insulation is 100mm slab rock wool as I wanted sound absorption over thermal retention. I love that you have enjoyed the video so much and that i may have inspired you. As for the cost of the build, in total around £1200 a little more info in the video description. Sounds like 80% of your quote is labour. Which in all honesty is I can't really say much on as it really depends on skill, experience and quality. But to give you a rough Idea I charge £50 an hour as a minimum and I would say For a client this would be a 60 - 100 hour job just one guy doing it. I don't know your full personal situation but If your fine with hard labour, screw-ups and the adventure of learning on the job It's a great project. My top tip is PLANNING! down to the last screw.... It will help greatly! Plus make sure you are clued up on your local restrictions. Hope that helps and good luck with whichever decision you make 😀
@@Keep-Making Hey, thanks so much for your reply and the detail. After watching your video, I think I will get my guy to just lay a concrete bed down for me, and then I will have a go myself.
One more question, suppose I have a go myself and mid project it starts raining, can I leave the pressure treated timber out in the rain. I.e if I build the shell of the unit and leave it exposed bare for a few days or rain, will the timber go bad?
No problem Ruddy,
Long and the short is the dryer it stays the easier it is to work with and over all less problems there are to deal with. i.e. easer to cut, work has not expanded yet ect
I personally got myself a few blue tarps and covered everything to the best of my ability when I was not working on it or if it was raining.
Have FUN!
Loved it great job!
Thank you J Beck,
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome job man looks fantastic 👏
got 2 questions :) nr 1 Why did you not raise the frame of the shed on lifters so its not directly to the ground for rot etc to get a hold of it .. nr 2 did you put in 0.7 - 1 inch of spacing between outer boards and the frame so there is ventilation in it so it also wont get mold and rot.. ty in advance , EXELLENT video btw
Hey Ladosligese, Great questions you'll find that both of those are answered in the Q&A video. th-cam.com/video/o20i5UIxPC0/w-d-xo.html
Good job... its probably got more insulation than my house lol
Really good filming technique and editing - thumbs up
Glad you liked it!
Amazing shed! What software did you use for the designs you showed? Thanks
Hey TheMulchingMan, I used rhino but form now on i'm using blender and in a month or two i'll be showing how to design your own in blender too. If you want I have a series on my channel teaching blender 2.91 from square one and once this course if finished i'll be doing the workshop / shed design and cheers! I'm glad you like the workshop.
I enjoyed this and found it useful but have been looking for the 2nd video you mentioned in the intro. Can’t find it, did you do one and if so can you post a link? Cheers
Hey Shaun, sorry the video it not up yet but it's 100% coming soon as i'm going to be doing a 1 year round up and answer all questions. Speaking of which let me know any questions you might have and i'll do my best to answer them.
Amazingly edited video. I'm starting to design my own workshop for the bottom of the garden. What's the design software you show at around the 2:10 mark?
Hey David,
Thank you I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Great to hear you're tackling this project. The design software is called rhino but I now use blender. In a few weeks time, I'll be doing a whole "Detailed" remodeling of my workshop in blender to teach others how to go about designing a build-in blender. Plus if you don't know blender at all I have a whole series to teach blender for the very start in precision modeling 🤓 I hope that helps.
Great video. What's the length+depth please?
Hi Rajna, You can head over to the FAQ video that is linked at the end or in the description.
All you need to do is to install some gutters. Cool build!👍
Oh my goodness that was about 20000 too many slow mo close ups of very little happening for me but for the average DIY'er I guess it would be very motivating.
Your build quality is very impressive (except for your inside-out door hinges), Guess that's how you do things in the UK.
In Australia it would fly away and roll down the street in the first storm we get, we have to dig concrete footings and bolt everything down.
A lot of use of non durable species on the outside of the structure - I can't believe they even make (untreated?) pine weatherboards over there but about 9 months with exterior rated treatment on them and they'd start rotting here, the pine base you used would be devoured pretty quickly in my neighbourhood - we have termites everywhere in Sydney and other wood eating bugs - gotta be H4/H5 treatment if it's going to be on the ground or it turns to mush in no time.
Hey One Man Bad Woodworks, I'm glad you like the build quality. Sorry it's too much slow-mo for you. WOW sounds like you have it ROUGH! I guess that's another reason of many scary and deadly things of why I don't live in Australia. 😅. Ya the cladding is raw wood as here we have many eco villages and breathing wall structures here. The cladding is now heavily treated with "eco" treatment but my god was it expensive £60 for 2L . TO be fair the door is on the wrong way but the space is SO small that it was a design choice to have it open outward to let me have a little more space for larger projects or machines in the future.
@@Keep-Making makes sense to swing the door out, nice build mate
Good work, nice Video, Great Job .
hello, not sure if its already been asked
but do you have a step by step guide in the build ?
materials used and cost for each one ?
many thanks
Hey Matts,
I don't plan on doing a step by step as this was my first build and there are so many regulations around the world that I don't want to be held responsible for things that may happen to others. However I soon plan on doing an FAQ video and I'll make sure to add all the materials used and so on in that video. Anything ells you might like to know?
Love it love it. Mine - hopefully once this lockdown refurb of the home is done - a combination of yours and the Colin Furze shed!
Also now a new Tigerblood Jewel fan - thanks in part to Shazam but of course yourself and the above video, excellent camera work :)
Subscribed :-D
That sounds great Elliott, Thank you for the Sub. I wish you the best on your build 😀
Mate,
This was a AWESOME build, thanks for sharing it, your partner and you are not just adept at buidling but great at camera angles, very slick n pro! I just started to build a little DIY tool store in the back of my garden a few days ago, i will defo use some of your handy tips. please keep on sharing ideas, i have subscribed!
Thank you so much rkgooner89, I'm really glad that you enjoyed the video and got trips from it. I'll definitely have more and a bit of maker everything in the future.
Well produced very watchable video.
Thank you Ann,
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Nice job mate. How long did it take you to build?
Thanks Greame, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Well, it took me about 3 weeks due to weather and filming it all. However, If the weather was always good and I was not filming I would say I could have it made in 5 - 7 days.
Excellent
Great video BTW, very well made. I'm unsure what do do with my flat roof. For extra water tightness should I vapour barrier the roof or use some left over dpm I have? If so what does my felt bind to, only the vapour barrier/dpm? Won't it flap about? I don't really want to roof nail the felt as I dont want to put holes into the felt? How do i get around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
Honestly speaking this was one of of my biggest consequences too. My fall back / playing it safe option was to use black jack all weather roof coating it's a crazy rugged bitumen paint and with 2 - 3 coats of that stuff and your roof should be good for a solid few years... I hope that comes in handy. Ans keep safe if you so use it. It's some sinky, sicky stuff. Eye protection and full separator is a MUST! (Also mix it very well and a stiff large brush works best in my opinion)
@@Keep-Making Thanks for your reply! At what layour do you recommend putting the bitumen? On top of the board, vapour barrier or over the felt? :)
@@cciaran No problem Ciaran, I went with on top of the felt. Means that WAY in the future it would be quite easy to remove it all to replace it.
