I'm in the middle of building my second shed (10' x 16' lean-to) with your plans, and I'm really happy with the way the plans and video work together to make things much easier. I'm no carpenter, but as a communication major and teacher, I especially appreciate how the video instructions consistently explain the process. Some might miss this, but just like when I teach my kids something, I value instructions that teach not only the "what" and "how" of each task, but also the "why," -- a highly underrated and important piece of the learning process! (For those of us who can barely recognize a hammer two out of three times.) :)
I am not in the construction industry nor am I a carpenter, I wanted a good guide to help with small projects such as small sheds and some remodeling around the house. So there’s a magic which is Shed Plan [ visit here *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. This Shed Plan co.vers all my instructions from top to bottom in a step by step manner.
@@MrJbeaste Built mine at 10' to get the most out of the storage space... neighbor not so happy with the visibility of my shed from his side, but... sorry! lol
It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

Great! I need a much smaller shed but this has all of the design features I need. A local house being built gave me all of the extra wood they were throwing away. I have enough to start building this weekend.
Thanks for the educational video. Two comments - First, at 2:35, you say to continue making marks every 16-3/4 inches. Shouldn't that be 16-3/4" inches for the first mark, then every 16 inches after that? (16" on center) Second, if a person makes a shed that is, say, 8 feet deep, would it make sense to make the floor less deep by 1" ( 7'11") if you use half-inch siding, so that the siding on left and right would cover the corners fore and aft, and be flush with the siding on the front and back?
I've seen other suggest same on size of base/floor. One thing to consider is most add trim boards to cover the corners which would hide the gap. I have a "10x10" shed, quotes because I think it IS in fact 10' 2"ish x 10' 2"ish just due to this. But that is measuring from outside of trim. So I think, technically, the framing is 10 foot. I'm about to change the entire roof from a fairly flat peaked style to a barn roof. Need more height for the BowFlex! Plus, a loft would be nice for light stuff. So once I remove the trim I'll remeasure to see exactly how it's built. I'd bet shed is nearly 20 years old. Pretty solid shape. I'm rambling now. As usual.
@@gailtaylor1636 i prefer to *not* have a hollow little square area at each corner of the plywood sheathing if the walls are not made less deep (or less wide) by double the thickness of the outer plywood. It just means cutting the floor joists to result in a square dimension on the two-by boards that will fit inside full-width sheets of plywood (or half-width sheets if walls are 2, 6, 10, or 14' wide). For half-inch-thick sheathing, the floor joists, which include the perimeter 2x boards, should be 1" less than an even number of feet (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, etc.) in one direction, but can be the full even number of feet in the other direction. That will assure a result of corners that have plywood filling the outer corners, with no gaps hidden below the corner trim, added later as a purely cosmetic cover. Gaps create places for bugs.
Great Video! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (google it)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin finally got great results with it.
Part 5 At 2:39 "...continue making marks every 16 3/4"...", shouldn't that be every 16" after the first stud ? thus marking edge to edge? Nice series! thanks,
Not to state the obvious, but if we understood the basics of framing we wouldn't be watching this video. It should have an overdub or a statement regarding this issue. It is major and will screw up a bunch of beginner's walls.
I noticed that too. It didn't line up with what I learned before. I checked other places and this indeed was a mistake in this video. What a waste of time. Now I'd need to double check other stuff in the video.... or just watch a different video.
Need to build my 1st bike shed. Simple enough. Just a 4'x4'x6' box mostly. This answered all my beginner questions. Best vid ive seen on yhe subject after about 20 vids.
So, if you had 2 walls span the entire length, and the other 2 walls were 7 inches shorter because they are inside, did you alter the measurement for your stud locations so that sheathing still lands on the studs at 4 feet? I didn't hear that part in the video
Two saw horses with ply or 2x12 makes a much more efficient and convenient cutting station. I never work on the ground. Assemble my walls on four horses with a ledger board clamped to header and floor plates. Use ratchet straps to tighten assembly and power nail it or power screw it together. Tight contact makes a big difference when using an air nailer.
Been building our own house along with 5 others.And learning alot about framing. Which I HAVE NEVER done in my whole life I might add 😆!! This will be easy peasy. And it's an 8x10 build?
Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this [ Check Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!?
For two walls the joists are perpendicular so I can see how you would get two nails in but the other two walls just have the one floor joist. So how are they done? Is this international building code?
Great and easy video to follow I do have one question, when making the header wouldnt sandwiching the two boards, 2x6s between the osb make it larger than the actual dimention of the 2x4? im not sure maybe i missed something could you please elaborate
2x6 have a thickness of 1.5 inches. Two together with 1/2" between is 3-1/2 inches which is the width of a 2x4 wall. In other words 2x4 is nominal dimension. Actual dimension is 1.6 x 3.5 inches. 2x6 is 1.5 x 5.5".

Two things I don't understand: 1) At 2:36, you say to continue making marks every 16.75". Don't you mean every 16", if the walls are to be 16" on center? You're clearly making a mark at 32.75". And 2) If you put a standard 48x96 sheet of plywood flush against the outermost wall stud, the other side of the plywood is going to end up just next to a stud, not overlapping it halfway. So what's the deal with that?
Great video series. What specific shed (including dimensions) is being built in this series? I'd like to make sure I get the right plans. What is the wall height for this series?
When nailing the bottom plate to the floor on the side running parallel to the joists, and using 90x35 timber, means only one nail every 200mm would attach along the 35mm face of the joist (as the 90mm face of bottom plate will be on top of the 35mm face of joist). Will that be sufficient to hold it? Or should I use double joists for the two ends? Thank you for all the helpful videos! :)

depends really if you're going to build the thing yourself but assuming you are then it will definetly be cheaper to buy all the materials and construct it yourself than to buy pre-made, not only will it be cheaper by probably a few hundred depending on how big you go but the quality should be a lot higher, of course if you construct it properly which i have no doubt that you can do!
is it ok to use ...3 inch exterior self drilling star screws for this project instead of nails?..I don't have a nail gun or compressor, but I do have a Porter Cable impact 18 volt impact drill along with a hammer drill...I like the impact wrench, because its quick and it torques damn good.
As Bobby Sather says the shear strength of a screw is much less than a nail. Screws have much greater pull out strength. Most jurisdictions require nails. For homes you will want to use nails. For a small shed like this you can use exterior screws in my opinion. If it is big enough to require a permit, check with your local building department. PS - People have been building homes with hammers and nails for hundreds of years. You don't need a compressor, it just makes the job easier.
Is a double top plate an absolute necessity? I'm building an 8'x12' shed and the design (provided by a friend) doesn't include a double top plate. All 4 walls are the same height. I'll be using tapered 2"x6"x10' roof support boards, tapered to 5.5" on one end and 1.5" at the other end. The taper gives the roof a slight angle, its fine because we don't get snow. Do I need the double top plate?
I think all it does is adds stability. If you don't have it, you're just relying on tbe nails to hold the corners together. The roof would hold it together, but for the price of 4 2x4s, might as well add it.
If you are going to the trouble of making walls and putting them up as a unit, you may as well screw it together rather than nailing. That way it can be dismantled (and even sold if you don't need it anymore).
Screws are more brittle than nails and tend to break, leading to more failures. Nails naturally have a little more "give" when the lumber eventually settles under load.

Hello Mr. ICreatables I'm thinking of building my own shed. I would love to know the size of the shed you built and also a rough estimate of the cost in material... thanks

In this video you say its ok yo use 92 5/8th wall studs but in the plans I got from you guys it says 6ft 2-1/2. Is it really ok to not cut them because I would rather not waste the time cutting them =D.
Ben Silverman Yes you can leave them longer but the total wall height will be 8'-1 1/2". So if you want the 8' tall siding to hang over below the floor joint you will have a siding joint a few inches down from the top of the wall. This joint will need to be flashed using "Z" metal.
I did follow your link, but your plans do not show the exact length of the wall studs . . . it just shows the top of the roof from the bottom of the ground. Therefore, you have to calculate the differences.
If it is finished, heated or cooled, space inside I would recommend sill sealer. For storage sheds it is not necessary since there is air leaking from many other places on the shed.
naughty naughty OSB sheeting! Did you seal the edges or something? I'd rather go cheap and get OSB but most people advise against it as the edges expand with moisture and then don't contract back when dry unlike plywood.
+HB Games 3 1/4" coated nails for wall framing when building a shed. They have a thin coat of glue on them that helps them stick in the wood better. Thanks for watching.
As long as the studs are all the same length and your floor is level the wall will be level. You will make it plumb when you install the siding. See the next siding video. www.icreatables.com/sheds/photo-gallery-modern-sheds
+iCreatables I guess it depends on your local climate. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks on treated stuff even though it's not touching the ground. Humidity, bugs, etc scare me. If you ever get the floor wet or spill a solvent or oil in there, particle board is less desirable. The floor is the one place you'll have an impossible time ever replacing if you need to.
Murat Macit If it is not attached to the ground via ground anchors there is only gravity that keeps it from tilting. If you live in a high wind area or your local building department requires anchoring then ground anchors can be purchased and installed.
I believe that anyone who ever tried building their own project using do-it-yourself recommendations, at least once, undertook the frustrating time when the result always was much worse than expectation.
+Karen J. Scarlett And a lot of bungling rookies (just like me) discover that getting a detailed guide is the only and surefire approach to get the project completed. This guideline is worth trying out: fine4.info/build-woodwork-today-x00021
Your shed looks great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I built an 8x10 shed for my kids in my backyard earlier this year using plans I got from *WoodBlueprints. Com* Clear directions and an accurate materials list...It was great for a novice builder like myself!
Francis Shanahan That is called crowning. All the boards should have their bow going the same way so that the siding or drywall attaches to the storage shed walls more evenly.

2 mistakes that ruined this video...1 the studs should be and are nailed at 16 or 24 inches on center.a line at 3/4 of an inch from your 16 or 24 mark will ensure the board the stud is straight... 2nd mistake is there is no mention of squaring the wall before nailing the bottom plate...walls should be squared on the floor and 2x4 nailed diagonally across the wall to hold it square... i hope people watching this video see this and go watch some other video to learn as this video is going to cause a lot of people to have to tear there walls apart and redo them
The next video shows how to square the walls of a shed. Squaring them on the floor is hard for homeowners because of the heavy weight associated when lifting and many of our sheds are too small to frame the walls on the floor.

+ian latham Hi, it depends on the roof slope. If it is a 4 in 12 pitch and the lower wall is 6 feet then the roof would be 16 inches taller which is 7'-4". You can see more on how to install roof on our How To Build A Shed Pages. www.icreatables.com/how-to-build-shed/how-to-build-a-shed.html
I wanted to see how to nail the corners together and the top plates. The video was filmed from a mile away and rushed through the directions. Guess I will have to find a better video to learn it.
if you guys think that this is not durable enough, i urge you to place another 4x4 rail right in the middle so in long run your 2x6's will NEVER bend thus lenght of this sheds life will probably doubled...

Is it cheaper buying a pre-made(assembly required) vs buying all the wood and materials?
depends really if you're going to build the thing yourself but assuming you are then it will definetly be cheaper to buy all the materials and construct it yourself than to buy pre-made, not only will it be cheaper by probably a few hundred depending on how big you go but the quality should be a lot higher, of course if you construct it properly which i have no doubt that you can do!

PS - People have been building homes with hammers and nails for hundreds of years. You don't need a compressor, it just makes the job easier.
Outstanding job!
1:31 Noticing there are no overlapping joints on the wall plates. Curious about sturdiness.
In the end, there's two top. plates. The second one dies the overlaping.
So "2x4s" Are actually 1.5x4s?
3-½ inches by 1-½ inches, actually.
They are rough sawn 2x4, then they are trimmed down. It's easy once you get it, but its a bit dumb overall.
What size are the header boards for the door?
Is a double top plate an absolute necessity? I'm building an 8'x12' shed and the design (provided by a friend) doesn't include a double top plate. All 4 walls are the same height. I'll be using tapered 2"x6"x10' roof support boards, tapered to 5.5" on one end and 1.5" at the other end. The taper gives the roof a slight angle, its fine because we don't get snow. Do I need the double top plate?
I think all it does is adds stability. If you don't have it, you're just relying on tbe nails to hold the corners together. The roof would hold it together, but for the price of 4 2x4s, might as well add it.
Great video.
What size nails on the wall studs? 6d?
If the floor joists are 16 on center and the walls are too then how is the wall stud not in the way of nailing the wall to the floor joist?
If you are going to the trouble of making walls and putting them up as a unit, you may as well screw it together rather than nailing. That way it can be dismantled (and even sold if you don't need it anymore).
Screws are more brittle than nails and tend to break, leading to more failures. Nails naturally have a little more "give" when the lumber eventually settles under load.
@James Graul I got some great shed plans here if you're interested: ShedPlans.xyz
Do you have an estimate on how much it cost you to build that. I know it will be different but so I can get an idea?
Could you please tell me the type & dimension of wall plates have used ? Is it (2*4')?
Thanks
Yes, 2x4 construction. 2x4's typically are 1.5 x 3.5, hence his marking a line 3.5 inches all around the floor.

Hello Mr. ICreatables I'm thinking of building my own shed. I would love to know the size of the shed you built and also a rough estimate of the cost in material... thanks

I have a question..I'm wondering if it's possible to build a shed that can also be disassembled for properties where you may be renting and not own.
absolutely. pre build your floor and wall frames and use screws instead of nails on your top plates.
Do you have a list of supplies. I just know I’ll go to Home Depot and buy stuff I don’t need
In this video you say its ok yo use 92 5/8th wall studs but in the plans I got from you guys it says 6ft 2-1/2. Is it really ok to not cut them because I would rather not waste the time cutting them =D.
Ben Silverman Yes you can leave them longer but the total wall height will be 8'-1 1/2". So if you want the 8' tall siding to hang over below the floor joint you will have a siding joint a few inches down from the top of the wall. This joint will need to be flashed using "Z" metal.
You guys rock great advice
I did follow your link, but your plans do not show the exact length of the wall studs . . . it just shows the top of the roof from the bottom of the ground. Therefore, you have to calculate the differences.
How do you join or connect the walls after they have been hammered to the floor?
what do u mean w nails on an angle to base
What is a crown edge? Please give simple definitions as you go along. Also...I can’t see the marks you are trying to show me.
No sill sealer under the bottom plate?
If it is finished, heated or cooled, space inside I would recommend sill sealer. For storage sheds it is not necessary since there is air leaking from many other places on the shed.
Good video 👍
naughty naughty OSB sheeting! Did you seal the edges or something? I'd rather go cheap and get OSB but most people advise against it as the edges expand with moisture and then don't contract back when dry unlike plywood.
when i built our shed i used a plan from *WoodBlueprints. Com* and it had all the blueprints, supplies, materials, and list well laid out for me.
what kind of nails do I use if i'm not using a nail gun?
+HB Games 3 1/4" coated nails for wall framing when building a shed. They have a thin coat of glue on them that helps them stick in the wood better. Thanks for watching.
what are the dimensions of this here great looking build..much obliged .
How about a list of material and what size shed are you building?
when i built our shed i used a plan from *WoodBlueprints. Com* and it had all the blueprints, supplies, materials, and list well laid out for me.
is that header board 38 inches?
No plumbing up walls necessary?
Do you have to level the walls once they go up?
As long as the studs are all the same length and your floor is level the wall will be level. You will make it plumb when you install the siding. See the next siding video. www.icreatables.com/sheds/photo-gallery-modern-sheds
I have spent months studying building sheds and found a fantastic website at Wilfs Shed Formula (check it out on google)
I made a concrete foundation with 4x4s extending vertical in each corner so the wall studs and wall plates came second. It seems to have worked.
Awesome!
That floor doesn't look to be pressure treated?
+Aaron Anderson It does not need to be pressure treated because it is on treated rails that are on contact with the ground. Thanks for watching.
+iCreatables I guess it depends on your local climate. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks on treated stuff even though it's not touching the ground. Humidity, bugs, etc scare me. If you ever get the floor wet or spill a solvent or oil in there, particle board is less desirable. The floor is the one place you'll have an impossible time ever replacing if you need to.
+Aaron Anderson just use pallets who cares
What size is this shed
I want to build a shed. Smaller though. I have shed envy.
What protects the building from tilting?
Murat Macit If it is not attached to the ground via ground anchors there is only gravity that keeps it from tilting. If you live in a high wind area or your local building department requires anchoring then ground anchors can be purchased and installed.
I believe that anyone who ever tried building their own project using do-it-yourself recommendations, at least once, undertook the frustrating time when the result always was much worse than expectation.
+Karen J. Scarlett And a lot of bungling rookies (just like me) discover that getting a detailed guide is the only and surefire approach to get the project completed. This guideline is worth trying out: fine4.info/build-woodwork-today-x00021
What is the height of peak on 6x6
Where are the coner post? Is there any corner post? You didn't show how to built a coner post.
did a lot of shed building before the invention of the nail gun
Your shed looks great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I built an 8x10 shed for my kids in my backyard earlier this year using plans I got from *WoodBlueprints. Com* Clear directions and an accurate materials list...It was great for a novice builder like myself!
Here's a huge collection of 12,000 shed plans: ShedPlans.xyz
I have no carpentry experience so im learning as I go but im doing an 8x12 Caveman style lol
What is he doing when he's looking along the length of each stud? Is there an "up" and "down" to the stud?
Francis Shanahan That is called crowning. All the boards should have their bow going the same way so that the siding or drywall attaches to the storage shed walls more evenly.
Hey Greg go check out *mysecretblueprints. com* ; those plans are priceless and helped so much with building our new shed. everything was laid out perfectly

site doesn't exist
How long did this take?
What's the size of the King studs????
7'-2 1/2"
Are header boards 2x6 studs?
Yes, for 6' openings on sheds 12' and narrower.
@@icreatablestv thank you
great instructional vid.
Well done! Thanks for sharing.
about how much wood should one get to complete this project
No worries at all! My Shed Plans brings me up to speed with professional tips and tricks used by the pros [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It really let me learn how to handle carpenter equipment, follow the right safety rules, and how to do your projects professionally so that they will look good and last!
How much did it cost in total for you to build this shed?
About $1500.00
Why 12D nails and not 16D????
That is what code requires. The longer nails will go too far through the 3" of two studs against each other.
What size nails are you using?
when i built our shed i used a plan from *WoodBlueprints. Com* and it had all the blueprints, supplies, materials, and list well laid out for me.
Sure surprised that a Pro like this wouldn’t have a stand for his saw and have knee pads as well. I hate bending and working from my knees.
How much for everything you used here ?
Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this [ Check Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!?
wonderful
If you’ve used hangars for your floor joists you won’t be able to nail the bottom plate into the floor joist only the rim.
What wood did you use

2 mistakes that ruined this video...1 the studs should be and are nailed at 16 or 24 inches on center.a line at 3/4 of an inch from your 16 or 24 mark will ensure the board the stud is straight... 2nd mistake is there is no mention of squaring the wall before nailing the bottom plate...walls should be squared on the floor and 2x4 nailed diagonally across the wall to hold it square... i hope people watching this video see this and go watch some other video to learn as this video is going to cause a lot of people to have to tear there walls apart and redo them
The next video shows how to square the walls of a shed. Squaring them on the floor is hard for homeowners because of the heavy weight associated when lifting and many of our sheds are too small to frame the walls on the floor.
How to know how high to framing the walls???
Usually says on the plans or how ever u want it
Thank you sir x😊
I wanna try building one I need it. I gotta get out off storage. Costing!
just ordered the *WoodBlueprints. Com* guide for step-by-step videos and different plans to BUILD A SHED. they have some awesome plans in there
Thank you for watching and commenting!
A little bit of semantics, but I what you are calling trimmer boards, I have always heard called Jack Studs. Nice video though.
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is an awesome exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical success with it.?
Hi, im building a 4x7ft shed and need some advice if anyone can help me???? What I'd like to know is WHAT HEIGHT SHOULD I BUILD THE WALLS??? Thanks 😏
+Youbseep That Doesn't answer my question!!! You trippin lol 💊💉
+ian latham Hi, it depends on the roof slope. If it is a 4 in 12 pitch and the lower wall is 6 feet then the roof would be 16 inches taller which is 7'-4". You can see more on how to install roof on our How To Build A Shed Pages. www.icreatables.com/how-to-build-shed/how-to-build-a-shed.html
I wanted to see how to nail the corners together and the top plates. The video was filmed from a mile away and rushed through the directions. Guess I will have to find a better video to learn it.
Hey, talk with Woody Hyezmar, or you can at least download his free plans. If you're starting out that's a way to go about it.
Nice 👍🏼
if you guys think that this is not durable enough, i urge you to place another 4x4 rail right in the middle so in long run your 2x6's will NEVER bend thus lenght of this sheds life will probably doubled...
