Includes complete materials list and cut list, with all angles and math done for you! Plus these designs maximize material use, giving you the most amount of shed for the least amount of money.
This is a complete video series detailing exactly how to build a shed from beginning to end. It is presented so that even someone with little to no experience can tackle this project. The instruction teaches the IBC (International Building Code) rules that almost every jurisdiction in the United States follows, so you will be prepared if you need a permit. But in many cases a permit isn’t required for a shed under a certain size.
This project takes only basic tools to accomplish. If you have a circular saw, a drill, a level & a hammer, along with some basic hand tools, you can do this.
There are things that will make it quicker of course, such as a nailgun & compressor. But you can decide what level of tools are needed.
I’ve broken the video into digestible parts. This makes it easier to refer back to a specific section. Or, if you only happen to need instruction in one area, this will save you time, since you can just watch what you need.

Please like and share our videos. Thank You!
We love teaching the world to do woodworking.
I realize that I"m a bit late to this party but I just wanted to say that I find it refreshing to see youngsters so involved with a project like this. It is plain to see that your daughters have the talent and the drive to get this project done. Nice job dad! You raised them right!
You should put these in a playlist. It would make it easier for people interested in this subject.
Its great to see kids outdoors and working with their hands. We need more "Trades" people in the world. It can be a very rewarding career path. College can only teach you so much. You learn more by doing, not by sitting trying to stay awake in a lecture class.
I have watched at least 50 You Tube videos on how to build a shed. I can say that incontestably you are the best because you made it so mathematical that it has to be foolproof and not experience only as I can see a lot of other channels do not realize that they are making mistakes or repeating their mistakes over and over again and thinking they are doing it right. YOU ARE THE BEST and I can see your daughters are following in your path. I will definitely look at your channel for any of my building projects guidance. thanks a lot
Thank you. You are very kind.
I would agree. This video and its series is the best I have seen.
Blessings to you and your family ,Thank you for sharing this great project!
So impressedby your daughters skills! She ripped a perfect plywood and amazingly straight with the router. Awesome.
King, you are doing your kids an amazing service. Every father should do projects with their kids.
You guys are amazing love how you work together, I wish we were as organized and we could build like that !
James I always enjoy you and your family working together. Keep it up.
Thank you !!!
I really enjoyed this build. Thank you. Great job.
Wonderful wonderful stuff! The longer I listen the more confident I become about doing this. Seeing each step in actuality and hearing the sound reasoning behind the process is priceless. It doesn't hurt one bit that you sound exactly like.... Rick Steves!
Free labor is the best labor! I love kids!
Fantastic as always! I always learn something and truly enjoy watching the whole family be involved!
Hi Scott! Thank you very much!
You are a lucky man to have your daughters interested and able to help.
Your videos are top notch!
I am very lucky for sure.
This is a really clear video series, James, thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Love all your videos and informational content!! You have an Awesome Family!! You have taught them well, and they are very good helpers!!
Thank you. You are very kind
James, another outstanding video. The information is very well detailed. People who have no idea on what it takes to build regardless of what it is. Information that you provide is right on. This set of videos if filled with information that is taken for granted and they have no idea where it comes from. Pleas keep up the quality of information you have been providing. Thank you
Hi Eddie! Thank you, that’s very kind.
I have my first Methods and Materials test next week all on lumber products. These videos have been great for providing visual representation of lumber based products. Thank you.
Thanks for video show me how to build shed by myself. I want to know how to get 3Dplan so I can do it by myself. Thanks
Great Shed, To make the top of the walls stronger, the second top plate is cut the same size as the bottoms top plate but the front wall plate overlaps the side plate. this allows you to follow it around the top. this gives you much stronger corners, somewhat like a half lap joint.
Your kids are amazing, James.
Thank you! I'm very blessed.
Excellent video, very informative, thanks!
great, helpful video. when I built my shed I doubled up the corner 2x4s to make it easier to tie the 2 walls together.
We considered a California corner, but we're not putting anything on the interior.
James, you and your wife have done an incredible job raising your "tribe". Each of them will have no difficulty doing for themselves once on their own. I especially like how they come together to accomplish projects like this. I have seen them help in the shop, but not on a large-scale build like this. Of course, your instructional videos are always so educational and I'm glad you pointed out the error of cutting the top portion of the wall to short. That is something many of us would have done, but because it is highlighted and explained the importance of the longer length, it will stick with us, (me, lol), when I put an addition onto my shop. The flashing between the two sheets is something I wouldn't have even thought of!. I'm learning so much, and I've been woodworking for most of my 61 years. I just have never built a structure. Thank you to you and your tribe. 🤗
Thank you! You are very kind
I've built a fair number of sheds as a DIYer but I'm learning things from these videos. Thank you for taking the time to put together such high quality material.
Thank you!
Hey thanks for taking the time to make this series. I feel like I learn a lot. I really appreciate the help
Thank you!! You’re very kind.
Thank you so much for the great video, I am going to build my shed using your planes. Cheers Ron from Australia.
Hi Ronald, awesome!
Ladies thanks so much to show us women that we can do construction work.
❤
This series came at perfect timing, I’m planing to make my self a shed shop around the beginning of the year with my Christmas bonus 😁 thank you for the grate detailed videos and comprehensive plans
Tania Made, that’s awesome!
Kudos for the video content! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is a great one of a kind guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin finally got astronomical success with it.?
Great build, and nice video production quality. Thank you.
I finally figured out what this series is missing and what the shed is going to be storing. Glue!!! 😄 Another great video King Ohana!
Haha, you're exactly right!
Glue is stored in underground bunker, right below freezing line!!!
Awesome job James and family! Very cool series!!
Thank you Shaun!
Awesome!! Thank you.
Another awesome video King family! Keep up the great work. It looked like you had weather like we do here in Indiana. Warm and sunny one minute and grab the winter coat the next.
Hi Travis, thank you! Yes the weather was overwhelmingly hot the day before. Then on the last day it started snowing! Haha.
Excellent job !!
You explain it very well. You are good at what you do. People need someone like you. Very nice. Thank you
So nice of you.
Ich finde euer Video sehr gelungen. Saubere und qualitativ gute Arbeit geleistet. Grüsse aus Germany
I just subscribe to your channel, because I like the fact that you have your kids learning the trade. I myself flip house for a living, an cannot stress it enough that are trade is a dieing breed. 😎👍👍
You could wait with siding above flashing to continue all the way up on front and back gables. And siding covering top plate is no big deal, it will be covered anyway with some kind of soffit there. good job James and the team.
Yes. Quite true. Thank you!
Awesome gob i love whatching I learned lots thank you very much
Great detailed narrative!
I can only guess the 2 people who don't like this video are some how connected to prefab metal sheds.
Great video and I like how you include your family. It helps show anyone can build and it adds to their skills they get from you already.
Thank you!
@@KingsFineWoodworking you're welcome
These are girls that will be able to take care of themselves and save many dollars in reno's and repairs over the years. Wtg!
great set of videos. i love the idea of all the different plan sizes!
Hi Joe, thank you!
Great detailed video James.
Thank you Don!
Great looking shed. Quick Tip 1 : When laying out your studs in the future try marking them at 3/4" back from the desired layout then using your speed square you can mark the both sides of the stud quickly and not have to guess at center of the stud. ie 15 1/4" - 31 1/4" - 47 1/4" etc.
Quick Tip 2 : When nailing down your top plate try to nail close to the existing studs so there are no nails in the field in between studs. I know this project isn't getting electrical but if it was your Electrician would not be your friend for very long after about the 2nd one of those nails he drills through.
I know a builder when I see one...but I notice that left handers go 3/4" forward from the layout with speed square
Very informative video. Subscribed. Will be building one in couple of months.
Very solid construction.
Thank you!
Excelente vídeo. 🙏🏻 thanks
Great tutorial thanks to you all..Here goes to our shed😊
I so love this!
Thank you!
Good girls. Great job.
Damn King, you were at like 20k subs when I started watching earlier this year. Keep up the good work my man!
Thank you!
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
well done, thanks for sharing that
Thank you!
Nice work 👍🏻
Good damn work! 👏 your kids did well! That's what I'm talking about! Not too many kids can say they can frame.
First!
lol :)
Nice
Sweet!
how did you manage that?
Z-Bar, good job, great info.
sorry I missed that part love the shed will doing one next spring will be using your plans
Awesome. Reach out if you ever have questions that we can help with.
Good stuff!
Nice shed. Nice to see your girls doing a great job in putting this together.
As a retired custom home builder and remodeler I have a few observations that I would like to comment/critique on so that others viewing this great shed build will be able to go with my suggestions as well.
Firstly, when squaring up a wall, it's best to snap a chalk line for the bottom plate to be tack nailed to the deck to make sure it stays straight and so that when you should need to make any adjustment, the wall will stay in position and once you get it square you should then tack the top plate to the deck so it stays put when attaching your sheathing/ siding. Also it would be a good idea to, even though this is just a shed, it's a good practice to ad an additional stud and blocking between the end stud and that additional stud which will create backing and additional corner nailing when adjoining the the two walls together. Also your top plates could have been put in place when building the walls on the deck keeping the plate on either wall 3 - 1/2 " back so that the adjoining wall top plate ( which would hang beyond the end of the wall 3-1/2" ) would then lay in that space to tie both walls together. Then @ the 14:00 miniute mark you refer to "leveling up the wall", that would be plumbing the wall. Horizontal is level and vertical is plumb.😁
The header studs I recommend attaching with the header standing up before nailing it into place, that way you can get the short studs toe nailed on both edges and also on the face of the stud. Just makes a more secure attachment. Also the trimmer/jack stud should be nailed through and into the king stud and make sure the jack studs aren't short in length should be a very snug fit.😀 sorry for the long critique, just makes for a great build better. 😁 I'll probably be adding my 2 cents to the rest of your build going forward. So hopefully others won't get bent out of shape with my suggestions. It's just that I've done this for 30 plus years. And I think I know a thing or two. LOL Have a great day.
good nice clean engineering job
Carpenters typically add blocking behind the siding splices to support both edges.
HI James! I really enjoy your videos. In this particular set of videos I appreciate the explanation of the workflow. It makes all the difference in the world if you have a well thought out plan of the order of operation. Otherwise you can run yourself ragged retracing your steps or having to move things around. Excellent workmanship and commentary!
Hi Steve, thank you!!
Thanks for this great tutorial! I envision a building a shed like this, insulating it, and finishing the inside roughly as a hunting camp sleeper shed. It would be used for storage and occasional overnight occupancy to supplement sleeping for a home when a big family gets together. It would be an interesting video to revisit this series and make recommendations about any changes you might make to your build for that situation! I think I’d use spray-in insulation or mineral wool between the studs on the walls and ceiling, but how might you insulate the floor? Could you insulate between the joists and add sheathing underneath to protect it? Or better to build a subfloor on the deck inside and insulate that? Would be interested to hear your insights! Thanks!
Hi King family, looking good so far. With such high walls, I'm surprised you did not put any blocking between the studs.
We didn't actually consider it. Thank you for watching!
EXCELLENT!!!
Thank you!
You just removed all the fear of me attempting to build a shed that we are seriously needing. You are a born teacher! What are your thoughts on using metal siding and metal roof?
Nice build my friend a suggestion would be when doing lay out of walls mark one side that way no need to eyeball the center makes it easier for newbies to under stand edge and an x on the side the stud goes.
Love your work👍up
Thank you. You’re very kind.
Great Job ladie!!!!😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
awesome video, as always! I plan to build a new shed in the back yard next spring, i will definitely be using a few tips from this build, thank you.
one thing that made me a bit nervous while watching this, is that your workers were often firing the nail gun either towards themselves or someone else holding the wood. i've seen on multiple occasions someone firing a nail gun into headers and hit a knot, deflecting the nail out the side into their hand or finger, and once into the workers leg as the 2x4 split and let the nail through entirely. i was always taught to pull my hands away before firing the nail.
Good tip, thanks for watching and commenting!
@@KingsFineWoodworking James, i came back to re-watch before i start my shed. your advice on installing the siding with extra length at the bottom to overlap your base, and extra at the top for your second top plate were things i wouldn't have thought of while i was building my walls. I also watched your recent video tutorial for Sketchup, and was able to make a pretty impressive plan for my shed because of it. i will always recommend your channel to family and friends that have plans for DIY projects, by far the best tutorials i've been able to find. hope you and the family are doing well. Cheers!
@@KingsFineWoodworking James, I came back to let you know that I was able to complete the shed. 7'x10' with a skillion roof, and sliding barn style door. I referred back to your videos multiple times for tips and reminders throughout the build. I used the same siding as you did, super handy! thanks again for your videos!
Hi Graham, that’s great to hear. Thanks!!
King Stud, no relation :) Looking good King family!
good job all of u i subed.😁😁😁
Looking forward to the roofing.
That was a big job well done.
Thank you!
Your going to have to get tool belts for your daughters. They would make great Christmas gifts.
Use a shop vac alongside the router cutouts to avoid a sawdust bath ;) Awesome Family Fun. SUb'd & Liked
Nicely done!
Tip: when shooting your top plate always nail in line with the wall studs. Understanding it’s a shed but it’s nice to keep the wall stud bays clear for future drilling to run electrical/conduit etc.
Great tip, thank you!
🤩 wow
Your videos and narration are the best; I keep finding them popping up whenever I research a project! You do a great job explaining the details and seem to anticipate all my questions. I am wondering about how close the shed will be to the fence. Do you foresee access issues to the fence or the side of the shed? It seems that if repair were one day required to either the fence or the shed, you'd have to remove the fence planks from the neighbor's side. Not a huge issue, I suppose, but it would be easier just to walk between the fence and shed. Also, you mention you have a great neighbour. What happens if he moves? Just wondering about your thoughts on this. Thanks again for your terrific videos.
Hi Thanks!
It’s really close to the property line. I don’t anticipate a repair. But if I get a new neighbor one day, moving the shed will be easy. That’s why I built it on the 4x6 skids. I have access to a bobcat, and it’s pretty easy to drag the shed around. I have another place in my yard that I’m planning on moving it to if that ever becomes necessary.
I actually have a second shed here that I built about 25 years ago, and I’ve moved it 6 or 7 times over the years. It’s really pretty easy. And since it’s overbuilt, strengthwise, it will not be affected by a re-location.
(Just the same, I hope my neighbor doesn’t move) :-)
Thanks for watching!!
Nice Video. I think it would be an interesting project for my garden. But i have to change the measurments from inch to centimeters because i live in Germany. Keep on the good work. Greetings from Germany. Hawky
Thank you! If anyone gets the plans, I'm happy to send along the SketchUp file which can be converted to metric
Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted
One thing I would have liked to see explained is what allowances need to be considered for measuring the right length stud so the exterior ends up matching correctly. Am I right in thinking that if the outside panel height is 8ft. you would need to take 3x the thickness of the wood (top plate soul plate and cap plate, plus the dimension of the lower overhang of paneling) and cut that off of the stud height?
Great video! Is there a particular reason you didn't use the router to finish trimming the siding at the bottom of the door opening after removing the base plate piece?
Thanks, King Extreme Family! 😘

Hi Barbara! Thank you!
Whenever I'm doing layout, I go to 16 then back down 3/4 of because that's have of the 2x4 amd them make a mark on 16. I find that easier to line it up
I could live in this as a woods camp
Great choices in this building .. 6 foot outside walls are a horror and totally impractical but a LOT of sheds are built with them. Our building codes would accept this one but not the location to property lines with setbacks etc. And of course the footings would never float here. Well designed and the execution (with that one oversight on the sidewall) is fantastic. A LOT can be done with the interior of this structure - with little or no restrictions to the imagination.
Hi Clyde. Thank you!
Enjoyed your videos. Would it be possible to go over what you would do if the wall is not square?
Hi Folks, very cool to see everyone working together. Did you secure the shed to ground ? Is that necessary? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I derive tremendous pleasure from learning how to do projects and construction. You are so thorough in your explanation and that helps greatly. I would love to make a shed but would it be possible to use your plans to build a 16x16 shed? Thank you again for all you knowledge and expertise.
Hi, thank you!
Unfortunately anything over 12’ wide is going to take a different truss system. And for sure you’ll have to get it permitted, where the building officials check for adequate loading.
like your videos its giving me more confidence to build my shed the question i had is when you was check the square of the walls how to you adjust or correct if they are not square
If they aren’t you just tap the base over with a hammer until it squares up, then nail it down.
Makes me want to build a Hog pen.
What are your views on running beads of sealant around wall perimeters when fitting them together, and also the value of a vaper barrier stapled underneath to prolong joist life?
Cute
Hi there, would you have shed plans for a 10x12 shed with a door and a window on the longer side of the shed (12 feet side)?
Love it! What do you charge for the plans for an 8x10?
if while building the walls they end up out of square, how do you correct them? What do you use to squeeze them square? Same for the part at the end of the video when you were checking for square after the walls were up. How would you correct that? I don't think Bessey makes a clamp that big! Enjoying the video very much. Looking forward to roofing vid.
You can use a ratcheting tow strap and pull the long corners together. Or, get a very long 2x4 and push the two corners together so that you can nail the 2x4 diagonally just under the top plate.
Nice work as usual.
How long did it take you to build the shed?
About five days, because we had to film it. It can be done in a full weekend.
That siding under the door, I would nail it down and then use the router to trim it.
Hey James, being in Denver, do you have to worry about freezing ground or frost heaves since you're putting the skids directly on roadbase material? We live in Northwest Montana and I'd be worried about settlement issues and movement.
It can go up and down for sure. But the frame & structure are solid. In fact, I’ve dragged it around in different places in my yard, to get it where I want. And if we move, I’ll pull it up onto a trailer & take it with us.
did you use treated plywood for the walls? would a regular non-treated but painted plywood work?
