I Saw the video title and genuinely thought you were talking about american style houses i though for once an american has caught on to the timber frame houses clad in materials that rot over time being a terrible investment
@@Iliketomakestuffwe don't have to make those specific mistakes but we'll all make plenty of others! That feeling of looking at parts you've just cut thinking "I know something is wrong here somewhere" is very relatable
I really love how you handle issues and mistakes. You don't lose your temper or make a massive deal out of it. I know sometimes projects get put on hold because big setbacks are discouraging and you might need time to regroup (like the Karmann Ghia), but you always come back to tackle things with a clear head and a measured outlook. I think it's a great lesson on emotional management when it comes to being a maker, and I love that you're the person that's guiding so many people on their maker journeys.
Comforting to know that others experience the same problems as me when I’m designing on the fly. Great job and thanks for including the stumbles along the way to the finished project.
I have one of those plastic sheds, but I only spent $100 on it, so when it came to the build vs. buy, it was easier to buy. My next one on the other hand will definitely be built. Virtually any shed you can buy is either made up of cheap materials or overpriced, often both. Your design is simple and easy to put together. Love the mistakes that you made and showing how you adapted and made it work in the end!
Thank you so much for including mistakes. I am a total ROOKIE DIYer so it’s encouraging to see that you include your mistakes and don’t edit them out, because we all learn from our own and others’ mistakes.
This is how a lot of my projects go - I forget one little detail and it messes everything up down the line, I get frustrated, and toss it aside for a while until I can calm down enough and fix it all. Thanks for keeping that stuff in. :) The ball storage is pretty smart.
If you're not limited by tools on this project, buying 2x6s and ripping them into 2x3s gets you a better quality for the same or slightly less money. The quality of the 2x3s at my home improvement store were absolutely horrible so I had to do this to get anything usable.
We were just talking about building one of these for our back yard, so the timing of this is perfect! You've given me some great ideas to keep in mind. Thanks for sharing!
Quick tip, when screwing on your sheet metal roofing make sure to drive the screws into the raised part of the sheeting. While the rubber washers do a fairly good job at keeping the water out, they are not perfect and will leak if water pools or runs over them. By only putting screws in the ridges of the steel sheet water will run straight off and will never pool around your screw holes. Have a good one Bob! 😊
lol fricken loved watching this build (love all your work of course but..) made me feel so much better about my mental status while doing projects. The "mess ups" with cutting boards in wrong orientations, problem solving on the fly, haha doing math and then saying "um no thats not write at all". Not sure if you have these thoughts and dialogue with yourself even when the camera isnt around but I felt like this video was an external representation of what conversations I have in my own head while doing most projects.
Hi Bob. Just catching up on your videos and you were definitely giving off Carlton vibes when you were describing moving stuff from outside into the shed. I was expecting the dance in Bloopers 😆🕺
Watching this gave me an idea on how to improve plans for another (the real tall one) cabinet that I purchased from you. I am in the process of building. I am going to make the doors very sturdy and add narrow shelving on the door deep enough to store spray cans, glue, and small items. This is the second storage cabinet that I have built from your plans. I am using OSB plywood to save money. I like the look of the OSB because it gives the cabinet character.
I've made a couple of small sheds similar for storage (including a short wide one just for rolling in thenlawn mower, portable gen, and power washer). Typically I used 2x4s I've ripped down in half (for ral lighweight sheds) or usually into 2x3s, reusing the cut off 1x2 remainder as the trim - saves a bunch that way (locally a 2x4 is only 60¢ more than a 2x3).
The reason why flipping the blade works is that you don't actually want to cut the metal. What you're doing is basically like punching little holes in the metal repeatedly and it's a better shearing action than the bladed side would without leaving much burs or snagging on metal bits.
Thanks for keeping in the “ dangit I didn’t think it through all the way” moments. I’m relatively new to working with wood things (so very very murch less forgiving than say, fabric - for me anyway) and have felt fairly discouraged by my own not dangit moments. [which I did make a video about 😂😂😂😂] Love this shed. Love your videos. Very inspiring and relateable. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Living in Scotland and having a plastic well built shed is a must most of my neighbours had their timber/wood sheds replaced at least once in the past 15 years.
Nice to see I'm not the only person who built one out of wood instead of buying a plastic box. One thing about those roofing screws you showed normally those need a hole drilled before you put them in. You can use self tapping that have the rubber gasket on them and not have to predrill them.
Great build and love how you kept the mistakes and how you handled them in the video. One safety tip, cut treated wood either in a well ventilated space/outside or wear a respirator. You don't want to breathe the sawdust from it. Always love your videos and this one is certainly timely. Cheers!
Thanks for showing how you built the prototype for the plans 😆 If there’s enough left over offcut material from the screens, I would cover inside the air vents at the top to keep out any bees/wasps or other small vermin. Speed bumps are all part of the journey!
I've been thinking of making one of these to fit between the legs of a 16ft high deck. I might have to get the plans, though, I need it deep enough for a push mower... Awesome job, despite the mistakes. This makes the project much more approachable to me.
This video came at the most perfect time. My Mom and I need a garden shed for all of our tools, and had considered buying one. After looking at the reviews and prices on a metal one, we decided we could build one ourselves for a lot less. This one is a bit smaller than what we need, as we want to store our tiller and pressure washer, but I think your plans will give us a great starting point to modify.
@@Iliketomakestuff I just purchased them, and got the miter saw station plans as well. My Dad's shop needs an upgrade with support on each side of the saw. I saw several shop plans I'll be picking up along the way. Thanks for making them available!
I’m in the middle of my first big project and lots of things are going wrong. I felt kinda bad about myself, but I feel much better now 😁 thanks for the video!
Although the base 2x4 is pressure treated to resist rot, it will behave event better if put on top of some moisture insulation like polyethylene foil or tar paper you would normally use to insulate a house framing from a foundation.
Definitely prefer the new title. Lol. Totally get why a homeowner would build one out of wood, but I love the plastic one on my apartment patio that came flat packed and could build in 30 min and I'll be able to disassemble and move easily.
A note or two on metal roofing. It can cause condensation on the inside, so some manufacturers add a drip stop (it looks like a little fleece covering) to mitigate this. However, roof sheets with a drip stop should not use the filler pieces as air flow is needed to allow the condensation to evaporate.
Thanks Bob for the entertaining and informative video. I was looking forward to the end of the video where you'd show how you organize the clutter of tools and toys in a cool way. So I was wondering whether you'd be up for making a video dedicated to innovative and custom storage solutions like the one with the rubberband to keep the balls in place. Thank you so much and have a great day.
For people who live in the UK who want to have a go at something like this, a good source of cheap or free plywood is to go around to your local medium sized window fitter companies. A lot of them get their sealed double glazed units made to order, and they get shipped to the factory for framing on large custom sized pallets. The pallets are usually a sheet of ply with some corner blocks and base stringers added. I've managed to scrounge several 8x4' pallets in this style before, and even though the wood does need a bit more prep work before you can use it, the stuff was free. How I see it, you can put that extra bit of work into your hobby, or you can put that extra work into your boring day job to get money to pay for better materials for the hobby that you'd RATHER be doing.
Things are so expensive! Building things yourself is so much better! Its awesome that you were able to model and actually look at it on your phone! That's awesome!
Great build I need to make a similar one for my house. One point I would make is maybe close off the ends of the corrugation. Opening the shed for a ball when there is a wasp nest inside isn't fun. I'm speaking from experience!
16:11 Normally you should screw the metal sheet in the protuding parts not the low ones : even with rubber, water could enter, there is no water running on the top part.
You may want to get the inserts for the roof. I built something like this last summer and wasps love crawling in and making it their new home. I’m always ready to run when I go to open it if it’s been awhile. 😅
Bob: That ply with the grooves + trim = gaps; those gaps will draw "dirt/mud dauber wasps" which will fill that small space with their mud nests. Harmless for years, but the old dirt will hold rain water splash against the inside of all those parts & stay wet for days each time it rains. It will take years, but it will rot. Caulk it? I'm not sure yet what to do, but I need to rebuild my shed doors due to this very issue.
@@Iliketomakestuff Around here we'd get birds moving through that sized opening and if they start nesting the law says you can't disturb them until they've left.
Skip the pressure treated base, get a plastic pallet. They can be cut down to size with a circular saw without issue. The cocacola ones are very strong. But also if you are going with wood for the base, you should ise ground contact lumber not regular pressure treated.
I have to say, this came out at the perfect time! I've been debating between building vs buying a shed and was about to just bite the bullet and get a pre made resin one, but I think I'll go ahead and price out a similar build to what you have here for the footprint I need, and get started at some point next week. Thanks for the great content!
Love the simplicity of this build, my only concern and not sure how it would be in your area would be BEES and the sort getting into those gaps you left open. I would 100% try to seal those open roof spots and anything else I could to prevent any unwanted guests
If You Do This GET A PANELING BLADE preferably with about 36-40 per inch. It's a cleaner cut and it is a thinner kerf. So less like to wander. And for Good Safety DO NOT USE A CARBIDE TIP ! Like I mentioned I spent 2 hours at the hospital getting one dug out of my arm !
I’m not so sure about this conclusion. Cost benefit of paying the extra $100 or so for the store bought product vs. the savings weighed against being in the shop all day. But, thank you for choosing the latter. Definitely a more interesting video than bringing one home from the store and putting it together on camera. Though, I’m sure you could make that entertaining too 😅
Definitely agree with this. For the average person who doesn't especially enjoy woodworking and won't already have tools, the pre-built ones are a fair price. They're way lighter and easier to disassemble/rebuild, too, so if you're not a homeowner and will be moving, that's another reason to just buy the pre-built. This wood one is prettier, to be fair, I think most would agree, but the other ones are also perfectly fine if you aren't eagerly looking for your next project.
Typical American version of fixing tin roofing, you screw the high points of the roofing so water drains away from the screws, you don't put it on the lower flat sections. Have a look at the way it's done in Australia where we have been using corrugated iron (now called Colourbond) for roofing entire houses. Your roof will have a tendency to rust around the top side of the screws due to water collecting around the screws, also you don't tighten the screws down to they bend the roofing just until the rubber washer starts to be distorted, again for water proofing and rust protection. Originally they used nails of the same design and the roofing is still fine and waterproof (although I do remember my Grandfather painting the roof with a zinc based paint for looks)
It would have been nice to compare your project vs the store bought option: cost, time, quality, durability, usability, look, frustration in building/getting, etc.
Does the trim on the outside serve any other purpose other than aesthetic? I know with the door it adds rigidity but the rest of the cabinet should be pretty rigid without right?
Hi! I need help if someone knows. I made a painting in a canvas, and I have glued some salt in some places in order to use waterpaint to color it. The salt is to give a different texture. My question is what can I use as a sealant coat so that the salt doesnt drop?? The majority stays glued but not all of it. Maybe epoxy spray?? Appreciate the help!!
I feel ya unfortunately the plastic sheds were irreplaceable and can only ever be replaced by more plastic sheds.... the pump shacks however they do get the cheap-o depot Wooden Box shed treatment cause you ain't getting a plastic shed to go over them well pumps and having them heated by space heaters in the winter.

This goes against the manufacturer recommended installation instructions for that metal roof
@@ThatToast You know who the manufacturer is? How would the manufacturer have us do it?
@@minchy83 The manufacturer is likely Union Corrugating, their instructions have the screws in the valley
@@ThatToast Their roof will likely leak in 5 years time when the rubber breaks down. We always put the screws in the hills to avoid this.
@@minchy83 You likely void any warranty by not following the manufacturer's directions. plus the rubber definitely lasts more than 5 years

You can pick up metal circular saw blades for cutting significantly easier at hardware stores
What I learned from this is make plans first and just as important, follow them.
This is a lesson I keep having to learn the hard way myself.
The reason why flipping the blade works is that you don't actually want to cut the metal. What you're doing is basically like punching little holes in the metal repeatedly and it's a better shearing action than the bladed side would without leaving much burs or snagging on metal bits.

Yeah I love it
Great build - beautifully done!!!
thank you thank you thank you for showing the flaws and screw ups! so relieving to know I'm not just hopeless 😅
I did something similar to this/the big garden bench you did a while back measuring like 3 metres its rather heavy
black and clear coat is a nice looking combo!
add a flashing against the "house" and the shed like silcone to keep any H2O from soaking in behind the walll.....
You're right. I need to do this.
If I'm not mistaken the screws are supposed to go on top of the ridge (at least that's true for polycarbonate roofing).
Diablo makes a "Steel Demon Ferrous Cutting Saw Blade" that is awesome for cutting the metal roofing material
Great project 👍
I would definitely need the profile bits for the roof. Wasps are a real problem here.
It would have been nice to compare your project vs the store bought option: cost, time, quality, durability, usability, look, frustration in building/getting, etc.
What was said: "If it can seal a boat, it can seal a shed."
What was heard: "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
Does the trim on the outside serve any other purpose other than aesthetic? I know with the door it adds rigidity but the rest of the cabinet should be pretty rigid without right?
This is the perfect visual representation of “do as I say, not as I do.” 😂
You should cover the sharp edge of the roof but great build!
I just finished designing my plans in SketchUp for my lean-to-shed build… perfect timing.
When my temps drop below 105°, I will start 🤣
Hi! I need help if someone knows. I made a painting in a canvas, and I have glued some salt in some places in order to use waterpaint to color it. The salt is to give a different texture. My question is what can I use as a sealant coat so that the salt doesnt drop?? The majority stays glued but not all of it. Maybe epoxy spray?? Appreciate the help!!
Welcome to dang it with Bob.

I feel ya unfortunately the plastic sheds were irreplaceable and can only ever be replaced by more plastic sheds.... the pump shacks however they do get the cheap-o depot Wooden Box shed treatment cause you ain't getting a plastic shed to go over them well pumps and having them heated by space heaters in the winter.
Fantastic work, Bob! It turned out amazing! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks!
