- As a first step to expanding my live steam hobby I need a bigger workshop. New workshop shed arrived yesterday, build took about 4 hours total, excluding stops for tea and food.
Thank you to my wife Haiyan for lending a hand for the roof, possible but tricky to do on your own. You will see me using the safety approved "Construction High Access Increased Reach" tool (CHAIR) for doing the higher parts. Now to outfit it.
Thank you for the video. I'm planning to build one.
great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it took me 2 days total including building a floor,instructions are pretty good but vague in some spots and sometimes the plastic panels are a little tough to line up but over all not too bad.Seems like a pretty nice shed,we'll see how it holds up over time,it doesn't leak during a good rain so that's good.
Nice might get this instead of wood and paint the inside white
Great video! Did you install the support beams afterwards?
Hi there, the shed was framed inside with timber, insulated and plaster boarded, floor was insulated and laminate put down. Its been up for 7+ years now, no issues at all, walls, floor and roof still watertight, no maintenance required at all, looks almost as good as new.
Thanks for video. Building mine Tuesday, when it finally stops raining (fingers crossed).
I would have liked to see how you put in the pavers for the floor foundation. Did you fill the space below them with gravel or are they resting on wood?
Hi there, each of the corners of the slabs are resting on medium density concrete blocks (so one block supports 4 slabs corners, these blocks were just placed on the hard packed earth with a mix of sand and post concrete to make them level, easy to remove if needed.
Hi, I have this shed in the middle of building it I got the foundation done and everything set up to attach and screw. I’m at the corner wall and wall panels, I’m having the hardest time with the corners, the part where you push in the tabs just won’t push through, I tried the wood trick underneath as well it’s difficult. I even sprayed WD40 on one to try, any tips as a single mom having a hard time building this thing that you would recommend for the wall? Also it’s hard to grab the top and push on it because of the groove on top it I think with gloves it should be better? I need to get this done asap, appreciate it thanks
Hi there, I remember the corners as being tricky, I could get the tabs in ok but needed to use a hammer and wood block to slide the panel into position. Just make sure the base is really flat, any unevenness will make building shed tricky
I did my shed by my self in 4 hrs
Building mine this Saturday.
Nice video.
Hey Callum,
Did you fasten the floor panels to the patio stone?
No just sat on slabs, but the shed is framed inside with 2x3, insulated, plasterboarded and laminated floor fitted, so quite heavy even when empty.
Where did you get this shed from? It looks like a great alternative to rotten timber.
Costco sold this one, but you can get them from Argos and Tesco in UK
How long did it take to build
Look at the time stamp I’m the video
Guessing around 5hrs
@@Vexulus das glaube ich nicht. Ist nicht so einfach, wie es auf Video. Und vor allem mit eine Person gehts garnix
Hope his wife fixed him a nice big dinner after this. Good job!
I'm planning to get this same shed to live in it, is it warm inside and are the materials toxic?
just sleep on the street
yes the materials are toxic in the state of California.. depending where you live it could get a little chilly at -20F. sleeps about 20 illegals
do you have to have/build a separate base?
Yes, you need to build a solid structure underneath it.
Did you put screws to hold down the bottom
Hi there, it took about 4.5 hours to build, I did not bother screwing it down as it is a sheltered area, thanks for watching, been up for 4 years now without any problems, still looks as good as new.
@@calziewalzie it had just look like you were screwing it down thank you for the reply
@@davesogn3329 Hi Dave, the black floor came in bits which slotted together and is held together by small selltappers screws. There are wholes in the floor which are suppored to be used to screw the shed down, but I didn't bother doing this.
Yes I also want to see someone screwing the floor panel to the wooden floor. Is it just a matter of getting screws and screwing them in?
time lapse says 18 hours...what 4hours you mean?
That's the time of day, the clock starts at 13:20 and ends at 18:15, taking away time for tea and kids mucking about it took just over 4 hours.
Hi mate have you had any issues with it leaking? Just bought one and planning to build it tomorrow just wanted to know
Hi there, no leaks, been great, mine is framed inside with 2x3 timber, foil and glass wool insulation with plasterboard, great workshop, keeps ok warm in winter, gets a bit hot in summer. Make sure the base is well flat and stable.
@@calziewalzie thanks mate that’s good to know, we’ve made a concrete base for it to sit on and we were planning to build it today but the concretes still not set and it’s pissing down with rain tomorrow so will probably have to wait until next weekend
Just 1 question why put the window against the hedge?
Yes. The flooring that comes with the shed is about half an inch thick. You need something solid under that.
The shed has been framed, insulated and plaster boarded inside so the window is unused.
Callum Wilson Hi, can we possibly see this? as planning to get one and wanted to insulate for a bit of an outhouse. Cheers
Lovely shed. Thanks for the video. Are you in the UK?
Don't you love when they don't respond back what an asshole
Yes we are in Scotland
still holding up ????
I installed the 8 x 7.5 version of this back in Jan 2014. I live in Sydney, Australia so it does go through a variety of weather conditions (except snow). Still going strong and looks just as good as the day it went up.
Jose Gonzalez Hi Jose. Honestly, I couldn't give you a solid answer as there are so many factors. I put it together myself with a little help from my brother. I can't remember exactly how long it took but I did take my time (somewhere between 6-10 hours). Read as many reviews on the shed, you'll find alot mention how long it took, some mention who they got to install it. Usually the shop you buy it from, or the actual companies website will have info on who you can hire to install it. If you find someone who installs these on a regular basis, they can probably do it in 4-6 hours. Someone who has never put together a plastic shed could take double that time. Best advice I can give is to shop around for quotes on installation cost. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Yes, It's still there.
They have got to be the worst shed on the market,,I see them as a shelter more than a shed because if anyone wanted to break in to it,they would just pull it Apart,,,you should build yourself a proper shed mate
thanks for you positive feedback
Ppl buy plastic sheds because they r easier to put together and less maintenance. Not necessarily for protection against theft.
paul bunyun check out the Asgard shed if you want quality
Kevin s check out the Asgard shed if you want quality,,that’s what I went for
@@explorewithant8263 thanks I will look at them
That's not really building a shed it's a bloody flat pack for god sake...
