With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
You will need to use armoured cable run from you House I would advise getting an electrician to do it for you hope this helps thank you for your question.
I pursue the entire Ryan's Shed Plans and had the favorite alternatives to make a shed game plan. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx28Z8z61iXUVQQPSL3K9UZJw0Hm7ylSiH Using Ryan's Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is phenomenal .

I'm a bricklayer and this is pretty damn decent work for a non bricklayer DIY'er. I'm also a DIY'er at many different things. If you have the brains and put in the effort you can do whatever you want. May not be as good as a professional but so friggen what.. You learn as you're going. I applaud this guy for doing things for himself. Too many people are afraid if trying to do anything anymore. Nice work man
i have got to say ab fab this video as inspired me to build my own shed from block . Most videos on here put you off as i have never done building before. got me footings in now waitin for for deliv. of blocks . I appreciate video mate keep in makin them cheerz Ade
Oi, stop giving this bloke a hard time! He's just a bloke building a shed, and looks pretty good to me, like many other diy'ers. So give it a rest you so called professionals! I say, stuff em and keep up the good work.
Perfect response. Fantastic job if you ask me, especially as they're not 'qualified' brickies. They ought to be proud of what they're achieving. Well done!
Hi there @Rodianbuilds if you a brick layer how many of these exact blocks would it take to build a 6x4ft shed and to be about 5ft high 🤷♂️ I’m looking to build a block shed but don’t want to much wastages of material this is why I’m asking or if anyone else sees my comment who can help that would be much appreciated thanks
Don’t buy that tool pal it’s a pile of crap I brought one it’s not what makes out to be, learn some basics and use that on your project and buy some tools and gauges and u should be ok. Better still do a weekend bricks course and learn the basics . 👍
I laugh at these idiots who want to school you on all the things you did wrong. You built yourself a shed…good job. Could you have done some things better, of course, we all could. I’m a veteran bricklayer and I think everyone should have a chance at laying some brick or block in their life, it’s therapeutic.
I thought it was great to see someone doing and sharing to help others. The smart arsed brickies (who are probably apprentices anyway) shouldn't be making puerile comments!I was thinking I would have to use piers on a single skin. Would that only be needed if the walls were bigger?
To honest I'm not sure Rory I no if it's a garage you do as the shed is for my own use I wasn't too bothered about regs, as for the haters that don't bother me you will always get someone saying its crap or whatever mate.
After watching this video I feel more confident now and I am thinking to build it on my own. My oryginał plan was to use timber which I've purchased already for £1100. I could easily sell it. Imagine same timber would cost me £1660 50% more after six months! Timber prices gone up crazy!
Use yellow sand to build with mix 3 sand to 1 cement then use double washed sand to render with mix 4 sand to 1 cement and put a waterproof additie in it dont forget to subscribe to the channel thanks for watching.
We had a good laugh with the mason's helper for mortar thickness, like when my friends laughed at the blinkers on my new Harley. We don;t need no morter helpers or blinkers. I'll let you know when I'm turning. Of course corners without a plumb-bob is an art form but without thin wire rebar the strength is a bit, how you say, bullocks. Just saying with love for all workers. Lawson
Thanks. Great video. I've never laid a brick in my life, but I've always wanted to learn how. I see you guys are using the the Bricky thing. I've actually been looking for a video like this (which wasn't a promotional for the Bricky). Seeing a pro mason using it definitely makes me feel better about buying one. Thanks again.
Could you tell me. What is a breeze block. One of them new light blocks? There building sheds, houses with the. Are the any good. Heard they are the go in London
Yep mate your right. Im doing a extension and re roof to my garage start of June. Got a brickie round today to qoute and he laughed when I said I was doing the founds and doing the wood and roof..
VERY helpful, and should you ever decide to make something with brick and stone that would be great because I'm thinking about covering my house that way and once i get that done and build a garage i want to do the same thing to that.
Impressive stuff mate. Looks like you were using the brickie mate? I want to construct a garden room/garage with double cavity wall - first two courses went down and were 7kn concrete blocks and are square... I am thinking (and really thinking hard at this stage) of doing the remaining blockwork myself this myself given footings/foundation and first couple of courses down. Can I ask: 1. How did you ensure the mix was consistent for the whole build? 2. If I want to have sides of outer leaf in concrete block and then front/back in red facing bricks as they look nicer and dont want to render - is there a way to tie them together in the corners? 3. Not planning to hang much on the walls but for inner leaf is using the intermediate 3.5kn aggregate blocks fine? Alot easier to handle... Thanks
With the mix I used a bucket think it was 3 buckets of sand to 1 bucket of cement and if I’m right you can put 1 bucket of lime in it too but I don’t think it’s needed.
With your other question I don’t no you’ll need to as a Brik layer I’m sure there’s a few lads on here that could answer that for you just keep checking the messages on this post sorry I can’t help you.
1. Can't go wrong with buckets 👍 2. There is! You have 2 options: block are 2 brick long and 3 brick deep. Almost building materials are uniform to eachother so could build it like a coin feature like bbbbbbbfffffffff bbbbbbbfffffffff bbbbbbbfffffffff bbbbffffffffffffff bbbbffffffffffffff bbbbffffffffffffff bbbbbbbbfffffff bbbbbbbbfffffff bbbbbbbbfffffff b = block f = brick Or you can have a completely vertical mortar joint and use wall ties or even a wall starter to reinforce it. You'll see this on a lot of newer homes, but they're typically movement joints. 3. 3.5 should be fine but it does depend on the size of the structure aswell.
HelterSkelter off the top of my head I don’t remember I think I used 4x2 CLS the span is only 11x10 and there’s no weight on it so they are quite sufficient for the load they are carrying.
I've not personally used it mainly as I'm nvq 3 but one question I've often wondered is you lay a bed with it and place a block or brick . Tap and level . But I bet many don't check it's gauge . That's fairly important to . Fair play to the boys having a go looks tidy better than some I've seen . I personally use 100mm cuts in corners to allow 1 block cut into 2 half's. Can use commons also . So half block a 100mm cut or common and full block . Saves time and waste . But 3/4 bat works
Great job. Has everything stood the test of time ? I want to build a 2 metre high by 10 metre straight garden wall and was hoping to use this tool, do you think it will be up to the job? Thanks and best of luck
I had a shed like this built last year but with a PVC patio door and I had the floor tiled. It was fine all through the winter and with all the rain, no leaks, great. We had hardly any stuff in there. About 2 months ago (April) we piled loads of stuff in because we were having our kitchen renovated. The shed was FULL of all sorts. When we went to bring things out to go back in the kitchen we noticed the floor at the back of the shed was soaking wet and seeping up into the boxes we had in there. The walls and ceiling were dry, the ceiling is lined with plywood. Have you had any problems with this shed or has anyone else looking on here had a similar problem. I'm thinking it's a problem with ventilation but not certain.
The builder is going to put 2 vents in for me. We started leaving the door open in the day and removed some of the stuff to get a better air flow. As soon as the weather went a bit colder it dried straight away. We'll keep an eye on it in future and open the door more. Thank you for your reply.
What are those excellent orange things you use to get the mortar laid perfectly? And where can i buy them? I need some (will be building my shed once ive dug it out and got the base down) Thanks!
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!
@@gibbopaul66 cheers mate I found it in the end I got one coming tomorrow or Friday it will be here I'm putting up a 3 ft wall in the back garden using blocks will that be okay with just cement on soil it's only to stop my path getting blocked up with mud as it was turned over not fully grown back with grass so chucking up a 3 ft wall will it be fine or will I have to put some gravel down
@@gibbopaul66 I was gonna dig it out a bit make a little trench an have it level not directly onto soil but okay what's the cheapest foundation I can use I haven't got much money but I'd rather do it properly
No bond beam? The reason the wall didn't fall in when you put the ladder up is because the roof rafters acted like a bond beam? I appreciate the work, really. maybe I missed it. peace
Ab Fab Plastering Thanks for that. Sorry to bother you, just a couple more questions. Did you pour about 16" concrete? Also what did you do for your floor, was it a wooden suspended floor or a poured concrete floor later on?
Ashley Amos I poured it ab 16 to 18 inches deep and I put a suspended timber floor as it was cheaper but I should of done it in concrete really and I should of done it at the Dpc level before building the walls hope this helps
The bricklaying in that shed is shit, and how do you get compression on the bed and perp, so the device is 10 mm thicknto get the " perfect bed and perp" to get compression you would have to tap the bed and perp but then you would not have " 10mm perp and bed" so if you have to open out or tighten up what do you do then, l
Ian Davies no mate the mortar tool gives you a 12ml bed to set down to 10ml and the same as the perps shit or not it helped me build my shed as I'm not a brick layer I can't rate higher enough
So what you are saying is that the " spacer" for the bed and the perp are actually 12mm and you tap it to get the 10 mm joint on the bed and the perp. If thatnis the case it's still shit, no bricklayer does 10mm bed or perp we go to gauge. I regulate my perps and beds to get to gauge, but this device does 10mm bed or joint all the time,were I get pissed off is when they say I build a house with face bricks the only way they would do that if all the bricks were 215mm and 65mm deep and the blocks were 440x215,. If the plastic is 12mm thick and you are using bricks that are 62 mm deep you are 2mm below gauge every time over 2.100 door height ( 28 courses) you would be 56mm short, if you were using blocks 210 mm deep and a bed of 10 mm you would be 5mm short of gauge with the 9 blocks and that final brick you would be 47 mm below 2.100. Has you said it helped you do a shed, in my opinion it's shit
Ian Davies like I said I'm not a bricklayer and I don't and have never said that I am this video is not a how to video it's just how I built mine shit or not it is what it is if you read the comments you will find that you are in the minority of people that don't like the tool I was using thank for your comment anyway.
The majority is not inticative of being correct, good on you for building the shed. If it's a plastered shed you can get the required heigh for lintel. On many occasion I have asked how to you get gauge and keep gauge on horizontal and vertical on face block and face brick, the majority do not have a clue when it come to gauge. All windows and doors work to gauge, has a plasterer you know that, it's not that the majority are dim witted it's because they do not know about gauge. They hear "10 mm bed and joint" and they are ill advisesd its gauge, so the retort " I'm in a minority"does not really hold water, the minority are probably trades. And the others are not in the trade and has such do not see what we see, got no beef with small walls, or sheds it's the shit that makes me mad, Face brick house, face brick bungalow, friends of mine said it done a better job than a real bricklayer, and when I ask how did you keep to gauge on bricks that were/are 63mm or 67 mm, and again the majority were with this tool.

block are 2 brick long and 3 brick deep. Almost building materials are uniform to eachother so could build it like a coin feature like

only need planning if it bigger than a third of your garden and above 2.7 meters high mate my shed falls under the size hope this helps.

Ashley Amos I poured it ab 16 to 18 inches deep and I put a suspended timber floor as it was cheaper but I should of done it in concrete really and I should of done it at the Dpc level before building the walls hope this helps
Good job mate 👍
Finished building my own shed last year, I used the bricky tool too. You boys did a good job, bet you're itching to build your next project?
You done a good job nice spell of weather you had
+jerry o connor thanks mate
Very good, I'm thinking to do now
At least you tried 👍🏻
Useful tool my friend...
The bricklaying in that shed is shit, and how do you get compression on the bed and perp, so the device is 10 mm thicknto get the " perfect bed and perp" to get compression you would have to tap the bed and perp but then you would not have " 10mm perp and bed" so if you have to open out or tighten up what do you do then, l
Ian Davies no mate the mortar tool gives you a 12ml bed to set down to 10ml and the same as the perps shit or not it helped me build my shed as I'm not a brick layer I can't rate higher enough
So what you are saying is that the " spacer" for the bed and the perp are actually 12mm and you tap it to get the 10 mm joint on the bed and the perp.
If thatnis the case it's still shit, no bricklayer does 10mm bed or perp we go to gauge.
I regulate my perps and beds to get to gauge, but this device does 10mm bed or joint all the time,were I get pissed off is when they say I build a house with face bricks the only way they would do that if all the bricks were 215mm and 65mm deep and the blocks were 440x215,.
If the plastic is 12mm thick and you are using bricks that are 62 mm deep you are 2mm below gauge every time over 2.100 door height ( 28 courses) you would be 56mm short, if you were using blocks 210 mm deep and a bed of 10 mm you would be 5mm short of gauge with the 9 blocks and that final brick you would be 47 mm below 2.100.
Has you said it helped you do a shed, in my opinion it's shit
Ian Davies like I said I'm not a bricklayer and I don't and have never said that I am this video is not a how to video it's just how I built mine shit or not it is what it is if you read the comments you will find that you are in the minority of people that don't like the tool I was using thank for your comment anyway.
The majority is not inticative of being correct, good on you for building the shed.
If it's a plastered shed you can get the required heigh for lintel.
On many occasion I have asked how to you get gauge and keep gauge on horizontal and vertical on face block and face brick, the majority do not have a clue when it come to gauge.
All windows and doors work to gauge, has a plasterer you know that, it's not that the majority are dim witted it's because they do not know about gauge.
They hear "10 mm bed and joint" and they are ill advisesd its gauge, so the retort " I'm in a minority"does not really hold water, the minority are probably trades.
And the others are not in the trade and has such do not see what we see, got no beef with small walls, or sheds it's the shit that makes me mad,
Face brick house, face brick bungalow, friends of mine said it done a better job than a real bricklayer, and when I ask how did you keep to gauge on bricks that were/are 63mm or 67 mm, and again the majority were with this tool.
