2 points to make here. 1 That was an excellent build, better than most modern track houses. 2 don't forget you have all the tools, many people don't have that stuff which will make the job much harder and/or costly. Great video
I also noticed the tools right away. Luckily, there's usually a hardware store or similar that will rent tools, but that can be expensive, too. You need to be ready to work with them as soon as you bring them home.
American medics totally rip off patients….because it’s insured, and for some inexplicable reason Americans think it is perfectly fine to pay hundreds every month for rip off insurance premiums….its just crazy. The cost of the hospital stay alone is eye watering….how do you afford the cost of a good second hand car for a small injury of a type you might get a couple of times per year? Americans hate the idea of a government run Heath system like UK has….yet if I needed a broken bone reset and stitches….it costs me NOTHING. In the US, you might be paying that off for years!
Just for reference. Christmas Day, I was out of town and had a kidney stone attack. I went to the ER. They did an x-ray with contrast. Determined that yes, I had a big kidney stone, but I didn't take my health insurance, so this was on me. I got a shot of demerol as well as ten demerol pills to take with me. The total bill was $195.00. How crazy that medical cost has gotten so far out of hand.

Absolutely, would prefer to DIY, particularly since we are retired. We paid a contractor to build the shell of our small vacation home, and the plumber and electrician to rough stuff in. But my wife & I (with little experience) finished the interior. A fabulous project over 3 summers and we saved a ton of money. Our friends love the t&g pine interior. And we have a buyer whenever we decide to sell. All you need is a bunch of tools, some imagination and TH-cam if you need some advice. And we had a lot of fun doing it.
I LOVE THEM. Thes size and all. The face that I just learned how to make a simple door from watching this is makes them more incredible. To what ever the sheds will be used for im sure they are just what you needed.
The thick poly sheds are amazing. Mine are still going strong after many years and heavy snow loads. The flimsy ones break easily, but are still pretty tough. They never rot or rust, so I like them. I built a shed style washroom using 2x4s and Hardy boards with a metal roof and it's still holding up, even unpainted. Hardy board is amazing stuff. DIY or prebuilt sheds can take almost the same time to construct, plastic sheds still have many metal parts that have to be screwed or bolted together. Wood is much easier to work with, and can be faster if you use dimensions that maximize the sheet materials.
Space, he could just build a long shed on that side of the house though, but individual sheds are quicker in my opinion, I guess it depends on the tools you have.. this guy is making a concrete base for I would've built a long ass shed instead
Built a shed at beginning of the "pandemic" 18L x 8w x 12H and it morphed into a mini home (no BR) probably spent 15K DIY, when 2x4 skyrocketed from $3.99 to $8.99 each over night. It was well worth the money and we use it for entertaining back yard parties etc.
If you have the skill set I always recommend DIY. I would just have built larger and fewer sheds as well as prepped the base for the concrete. Thanks for your wife’s service. 👍

@@inspiringbuilds I am planning a diy shed and already have a concrete slab. Do I just set the wood on the concrete directly? Do I use pressure treated wood for the bottom pieces? Do I need to anchor to the concrete or the weight of the shed is sufficient to keep it from moving?
@@ltai0001 Always anchor to the concrete. Pressure treated wood for the bottom of the frame (just my preference). Doesn't matter the wood type if water can get in.
It's interesting that you chose to build 5 small sheds rather than one big one. Is there a reason other than filling the space? Wouldn't your cost come down quite a bit if you built one shed? I could barely fit my mower in any one of them. Do you not have zoning laws in your city? In most suburbs you're only allowed one out building and there are very specific rules about how far from the house and fence they must be. The quality of your work is very good but I'm curious about the utility of such small sheds (seem short too).
It could very well be permitting issues. Where I live I can only build up to 120sq ft, anything bigger requires a permit. It doesn’t say anywhere how many shed I am limited too. So I built two. Planning to build another one.
If I may (I'm anything but a pro): Depends what you plan to do put inside and I know it's not as sturdy but, for the roof, I prefer ondulated plastic. Cheaper, easier to install and, more importantly, gives you light inside during the day... Also, I prefer the slope of the roof to have the upper part in the front. That way rain goes on the back and it gives you a better opening in the front.
I would be willing to wager these black asphalt roofing aesthetically coordinates with the home’s roofing material, therefore making them appear & be more customized in addition to the custom doors.
@@robertsteloff8816asphalt shingles don't go on anything lower than 3:12 slope. And even then you need some sort of plastic underneath. That felt is going to do sweet fuqall. Every single nail he used to hold them down will leak through in months.
@@zimvader25 This is why I always read the comments, to learn from experienced contractors and DIY'ers and avoid making mistakes. I was wondering whether to use felt and shingles for a small tool shed roof. Thank you.
I’m building my own shed right now - saw a plastic one for 400 at Costco, figured I could make my own for that but bigger and better fit for my space- I’m a teensy over budget because I went for beefier siding. It’s been good practice too.
I like your format and style. "Is it ------------------?" Thanks for talking to those who already have tools or want to buy them. That's another story of cost in acquiring tools. Great production and build. This confirmed not if I could, but should I really vs and swayed me from prefab product.
We have a relative who bought a shed, and he paid over 5700 for a 8×12. We are building a 8×12 with a higher pitch roof so we can have a loft for more storage with better lumber, and it will cost us around 2500, not counting our time. With the lack of quality today, it's a no-brainer
In the uk I wanted a belt and braces shed 16 x 9 foot shed in 3 x 2 inch framing with one inch tongue and groove floor and roof , with a 3/4 inch shiplap outside finish . All the timber was to be tanalised and the shed was wrapped in roofing membrane with three anti uv polymer windows . Only one company seemed to do this and was called beast sheds who had a website where you could design the shed you wanted . The total price was £3500 which I thought was expensive but I was going to take it as this design was the one I wanted . Then Covid hit and I was furloughed for 4 months so I decided to build my own , there was the odd thing I would have done differently but I was very pleased with the result and I saved myself £2000 less the cost of a nail gun which I now have for other projects like an arbour I built for £130 which was stronger , bigger and much more pleasing to the eye than the one I saw at a garden centre for three times the cost . It has put me on a journey where I have just completed some alcove cupboards in birch ply that are bespoke to my own design that I was quoted £4500 but even though I bought a £500 track saw and pocket hole jig , I did the job for £2000 . When I have used tradesmen in the past I find them expensive and no better end product and often worse than what I can do myself. My next project is fitted wardrobes in birch ply quoted £5500 but now I have a track saw with my gained knowledge of building the alcove cupboards I believe I can bring them in around £1500. The one big saving is labour but also care because it is you doing it for yourself so the job has to be right. Give it a go if you think you can do it and TH-cam is a great teacher.
Similar for me, also in the UK. Wanted a garden room but from blocks, not timber, and a warm roof. There were extensive groundworks to do (footings for 3 retaining walls, lowering ground level by 1m across a 15m x 6m area, and footings and pouring of a 9m x 4m raft slab) ... but that's just digging, barrowing, dumping and gruntwork. None of the quotes I got were less than 44k GBP (!!!) so decided to have a go myself... with my only DIY experience being the changing of light bulbs. So far, I've done it all (buy I did get a few concrete lorries and pumps for the footings and slab) and have got it to a point of being ready for 1st fix inside and cladding on the outside. I reckon my total build cost will come in at just under 18k and that includes a lot of (quite nice and resealable cordless tools, including a nail gun like you, that aren't really for DIY use). I tell people who ask that it shows that if someone like me can do it then pretty much anyone can. Saves a lot of money but, for me, and more importantly, it keeps my mind occupied and it's good fun... especially choosing and buying a new power tool!

Thanks for posting this segment. I have a similar challenge with a need for additional storage and plan to utilize the space between my home and the privacy fence like yours. I appreciate the structural details you shared here and design plans. I have some D.l.Y. skills and plan to follow your example here, utilizing your ideas.
I’m no construction expert, but I’m pretty sure pouring concrete onto the grass surface isn’t a good idea. Won’t the slab sink without crushed stone base?
@@PeacefulCountryLife No, the concrete slab he poured is the base for the shed. The concrete slab needs a base of crushed stone so it doesn’t sink into the soil.
@@BeeTreeGuy I know this - I've done construction myself - what I'm saying is that maybe he intends to sell those sheds and he's not that bothered about the concrete base; and maybe he'll use those bases in the future to construct more sheds... I don't know.. :)
ER here in Tampa charged me $2,500 to wash my eye out after it was hit with a drop of acid. But I already had washed it out. I was there for 20 mins. ha ha. The US is wild. We are looking to make one shed like this. Happy to have found you!
My secret is get real boozed up apply some orajel then grip it and rip it if its bad enough. Make a regular dr. visit appointment and if there is no infection by the time it rolls around cancel the visit. I went to the fired before you hit the ground school.
I bought an 8x10 metal shed kit and covered the roof with self stick white roofing. The foundation is treated 6"X6"s, I buried about 2/3rds into the dirt. Been about 10 years, seems ok.
I absolutely love these! I want to do a custom lean to across the entire backside of my garage that has the closed in storage on both ends & open gravel ground in the middle for my pool pump.
Nice, but only a skilled construction guy like you can do it so beautifully, a diy homeowner like me with no construction knowledge will have a hard time 😂. Btw, may I know what paint sprayer tools are you using. Thanks for sharing your video.
I watched you pour concrete directly on grass and immediately knew, “this guy is a pro, and this is the way”. All that natural fiber will help keep the “foundation” solid for centuries!!
lol, I hope it’s a sarcasm)) all this “natural fiber” will durn into dust and a bunch of holes that would cause a major fail. I met this a Mexican contractor that pours it directly onto grass with the same “natural fiber” bs.. 6mo fail rate 100%, but he can no longer be found once he takes the money.
@@brianallen140 It is a SHED. I have poured a slab with little if any prep and it lasted at least 10 years (when I moved away). I don't understand the attitude.
This is really amazing. Love the channel and your DIY builds. I’m looking to start 2 of these for my tools and landscape materials. Just wondering do you have a page with builds or material lists etc. ??
I wanted to start a woodworking business. So I needed a 12x32 shop. I shopped around for one and the cheapest I could find was around 18k for a bare bone shed. That's with no electric, insulation or garage door. if I wanted that included it would have cost me 30k. I can't afford that. So after some research and checking prices I realized it be cheaper to just build my own. So I got the concrete slab pour at 4 inches thick for $900, the insulation for $400, the electric for $150, the lumber and hardware for around $1500. I had the metal for the roof and siding already from a demo job. But if I had to pay for it then the ballpark price would probably be around 2k. So for under 5k and 3 months I got my dream shop. it's definitely cheaper to build it yourself and a rewarding experience! if you can recycle, reuse and repurpose materials that will help a lot on saving money.
🔥 These sheds look awesome! Love the doors. Thanks for sharing 👍 Saving this video for a future project for my channel- research mode now! I’m in Florida too.
Nice. If asked, I would suggest getting those hinge fasteners on the inside of the door jams to make a thief's job a bit more difficult. Additionally, in my neighborhood, those concrete pads would constitute the need for permits. We can strap things to pads but the structure must be easily removed if needed. 🙂Watching your work... I'm going to have to get one of those circular saw guides.
Awesome work. Love the finished product but the average guy will have difficulty just building 1 of those sheds. You inspired me to build 1 but your skill level is much higher than mine.
I was quoted for a 8x16 shed with 8 ft walls and 12 ft at the peak, $10k. Decided I’ll just build it myself; so far material/lumber cost is about $2k. Still don’t see how the labor cost is $8k for a shed… but lots of unskilled rich folks these days so can’t really blame them. 😂
Generally, shed builders charge roughly the same price for labor as the cost of materials. 10k is high, but your materials price is not accurate for a shed that size.
The best sheds I've seen! This was an expensive video...$$$ up the wazoo! You 100% did the right thing! I think your wife could have removed that splinter...did you say $8k??
Absolutely DIY....there is no other way! In the end the reward is a great experience and potentially money saved, if not, most importantly knowledge learnt.
I really enjoy your videos and you have a lot of information, but can you walk through step-by-step on how to lay the concrete in building the sightings?
You can build a house or project for me anytime! While simple, I clearly see & regard the superior skillset, acumen, proportions, & details, GREAT JOB. Robert Steloff Design
Great video. I think you did a great job and they look awesome. I need to do a similar project and have two questions. First, why pitch them forward towards the door? I understand that when they're up against a building but these are free standing and the shorter entrance doesn't make sense. Second, why use a concrete floor for such a small shed? Usually concrete is used if you plan on having heavy objects inside. Did you price out a wood framed plywood floor? Thanks!
Thank you so much, and no water goes inside… we’ve had 4 heavy rain storms since the completion of the project and they remain fully dry inside. Now I may add a shed gutter to the front though. The rain comes off the roof and hits the dirt in front and splatters mud back onto the doors which is frustrating though.
The bottom plates don't look like treated lumber. If not, since it is contacting concrete, and more so because the concrete will be exposed to rain, etc. the bottom plate will likely rot within a few short years. Ideally, there should also be a vapor barrier under the plate - it can be something as simple as plastic sheeting. It's not super critical for something like this though.
So I have a garbage bin made out of wood which was old tried and decided to buy a plastic one. $800 with delivery! Holy cow, plan B. Got a 4 x 8 pressure treated 5/8 plywood. Had the associate at Home Depot cut it for me to size. $45 plus tip $10 and purchased at $16 worth of hardware. Brought paint at HD which was in the return bin $9 . Used some scrap wood I had in total about $75 !
Facts . I had a home built through Lennar and it has been a nightmare. My home was supposed to be handicapped friendly due to my son having a disability and no it was not and the house been falling apart since day one of closing of November of last year. It is such a shame that they allow huge companies do this to hard-working citizens
I really love these sheds, I want to build one just like this in my backyard, but maybe a little shorter in height…do you have a video step by step how to???
In Belgium you'd pay 4EUR (5$ ish) doctor's visit. They'd laugh at you in ER, but would still help you out, and charge you 25EUR (30$ ish) for ER-visit. Nice sheds!!
excellent build and each shed looks amazing. great job bro. However, $900 per shed is a bit steep. Would you be kind enough to perhaps provide a material breakdown?
First a 6:1 labor to materials ratio is absolutely ridiculous I do not care how good of a contractor you are. I would always suggest people plan these smaller projects as DIY. The knowledge you learn along the way is invaluable. However You need to write out a project plan. Get actual construction plans, even if you draw them up yourself. Dont forget cost of tools and rentals. Labor cost, even if it’s your friends and family, in most cases you will thank them with a gift or a meal atleast. If it’s hired assistance then there is their wages. DIY is always my first suggested route but make sure you have resources to get the project finished even if you find yourself in over your head.
I built a 12"'x7' shed w/slopeing roof.all materials are pallets 😂or free.bolts from big box roofing flashing habitual fo humanity. Foundation is leveled packed found with brick support. Tolal cost $ 300 USD.
great video but where are the details...I want to build just one exactly like the ones you built. I clicked on your templates link but does not have sheds
Hey man- fantastic work! I would DIY it for sure. Just curious: what the heck is the point of five tiny sheds versus one big shed/garage? I’m sure you’ve got a strategy, just curious….
I do not see a answer for everyone asking why are the sheds are so short. Looks like he made them the same height as the fence. In some HOAs you can't have your shed showing, because it's a "eye sore".
I thought plywood goes to crap in the rain? It's cheaper for me to use timber but more convenient to use ply. I like the cedar trim at the end and the doors alot.
I experimented with a cheap plastic shed, and the 100-degree summer recked it. I have to throw it away now. I also don't own the house but hate the garage being used for storage. I need at least an 8x8 or 8x5 shed. Then I need a small one for the lawn mower and garden tools. I work on my own cars and occasionally get paid top work on a car over the weekend. Having a spacious garage is awesome.
In California, the material is so expensive I realized building a tall 10x8 shed with an existing concrete slab would cost more than just buying a plastic shed that's already waterproof I guess I would have to anchor it down but wind speeds don't even reach 40mph
Awesome video! The doors are primo! I'm more concerned about your hospital bill. You should ask for an itemized bill and fight them, or pay minimum. They'll work with you for the most part. This had to be more than just a simple splinter....really curious and nosey about the details if you care to share.
So buying them is the way to go then. My question would be how do the HomeDepot style sheds where you have to assemble them yourself, vs design and build your own. You were comparing to a plastic shed.
Great job! Just one thing: did I hear you wrong? I swear you said that there is nothing wrong with this new generation of tradesmen who charge an arm and a leg for shit work. I’m pretty sure I heard you wrong, because yes, there is something very wrong with that. Again, great job on the sheds. They look amazing.
Everything to me was cost effective until you paid $8600 for that splinter in your hand. Any way an 8x4 wood shed at Lowes is $789. The slab would cost me down here in Tx $256 each. So each shed would cost about $1045. So $6270 for 6 sheds. I love your project, but There's no way 1 of those sheds cost $6000. I got a 12x14 shed with galvanized steel bottom in my yard, by tuffShed, and it was no where near 4K or 6K for that matter, even at today's prices. But Your sheds are beautiful. And the experience is priceless.
2 points to make here. 1 That was an excellent build, better than most modern track houses. 2 don't forget you have all the tools, many people don't have that stuff which will make the job much harder and/or costly. Great video
I also noticed the tools right away. Luckily, there's usually a hardware store or similar that will rent tools, but that can be expensive, too. You need to be ready to work with them as soon as you bring them home.
Still cheaper to buy the basic tools you’d need, and then you own them!
@@ramero420 Agreed
Also including the cost of electricity for the corded tools. Then if you don’t have a truck gotta rent the trailer for it.
Thank your wife for her service and providing our safety…much appreciated!!
I would never have had different doors for each shed, but that decision was inspired - absolutely fantastic idea - and great craftsmanship too!!
I was billed over $12k for a kidney stone they didn’t do anything for other than a shot of morphine. Those sheds turned out badass!
Thank you. It was a crazy fun project. I really enjoyed this one. But your kidney stone, wow! They charged a ton for meds!
What?
American medics totally rip off patients….because it’s insured, and for some inexplicable reason Americans think it is perfectly fine to pay hundreds every month for rip off insurance premiums….its just crazy. The cost of the hospital stay alone is eye watering….how do you afford the cost of a good second hand car for a small injury of a type you might get a couple of times per year? Americans hate the idea of a government run Heath system like UK has….yet if I needed a broken bone reset and stitches….it costs me NOTHING. In the US, you might be paying that off for years!
Just for reference. Christmas Day, I was out of town and had a kidney stone attack. I went to the ER. They did an x-ray with contrast. Determined that yes, I had a big kidney stone, but I didn't take my health insurance, so this was on me. I got a shot of demerol as well as ten demerol pills to take with me. The total bill was $195.00. How crazy that medical cost has gotten so far out of hand.
You make building a shed look like a kindergarten activity. I feel like I can make one myself after watching your video 😊. Brilliant stuff 👌
Awesome work, Donnie! They look great! 😃
And you could probably use one of them to keep bikes!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you and you’re right, one of them is holding our bikes 🚲

Space, he could just build a long shed on that side of the house though, but individual sheds are quicker in my opinion, I guess it depends on the tools you have.. this guy is making a concrete base for I would've built a long ass shed instead
Maybe to avoid permits? Maybe a bigger one needs permits, but smaller ones, none needed?
Built a shed at beginning of the "pandemic" 18L x 8w x 12H and it morphed into a mini home (no BR) probably spent 15K DIY, when 2x4 skyrocketed from $3.99 to $8.99 each over night. It was well worth the money and we use it for entertaining back yard parties etc.
@@reactorleak7432 Damn, permits. The pinnacle of the free world.
Cost, space, savings, Taxes, Savings 😅
If you have the skill set I always recommend DIY. I would just have built larger and fewer sheds as well as prepped the base for the concrete. Thanks for your wife’s service. 👍

@@inspiringbuilds I am planning a diy shed and already have a concrete slab. Do I just set the wood on the concrete directly? Do I use pressure treated wood for the bottom pieces? Do I need to anchor to the concrete or the weight of the shed is sufficient to keep it from moving?
@@ltai0001 Always anchor to the concrete. Pressure treated wood for the bottom of the frame (just my preference). Doesn't matter the wood type if water can get in.
Very Well Done!!! / many thanks to your wife for her Service 🇺🇸
It's interesting that you chose to build 5 small sheds rather than one big one. Is there a reason other than filling the space? Wouldn't your cost come down quite a bit if you built one shed? I could barely fit my mower in any one of them.
Do you not have zoning laws in your city? In most suburbs you're only allowed one out building and there are very specific rules about how far from the house and fence they must be.
The quality of your work is very good but I'm curious about the utility of such small sheds (seem short too).
It could very well be permitting issues. Where I live I can only build up to 120sq ft, anything bigger requires a permit. It doesn’t say anywhere how many shed I am limited too. So I built two. Planning to build another one.
I would bet he has an HOA that says you can't have a shed taller than your wall/fence.
If I may (I'm anything but a pro):
Depends what you plan to do put inside and I know it's not as sturdy but, for the roof, I prefer ondulated plastic. Cheaper, easier to install and, more importantly, gives you light inside during the day...
Also, I prefer the slope of the roof to have the upper part in the front. That way rain goes on the back and it gives you a better opening in the front.
BUT break down in the long term. And in my climate they MELT after a few summers..
I would be willing to wager these black asphalt roofing aesthetically coordinates with the home’s roofing material, therefore making them appear & be more customized in addition to the custom doors.
@@robertsteloff8816asphalt shingles don't go on anything lower than 3:12 slope. And even then you need some sort of plastic underneath. That felt is going to do sweet fuqall. Every single nail he used to hold them down will leak through in months.
@@zimvader25 This is why I always read the comments, to learn from experienced contractors and DIY'ers and avoid making mistakes. I was wondering whether to use felt and shingles for a small tool shed roof. Thank you.
I’m building my own shed right now - saw a plastic one for 400 at Costco, figured I could make my own for that but bigger and better fit for my space- I’m a teensy over budget because I went for beefier siding. It’s been good practice too.
I’m DIY’ing right now. Similar plan to what you built but just a tad taller, thicker, and wider. Great work!
I like your format and style. "Is it ------------------?" Thanks for talking to those who already have tools or want to buy them. That's another story of cost in acquiring tools. Great production and build. This confirmed not if I could, but should I really vs and swayed me from prefab product.
We have a relative who bought a shed, and he paid over 5700 for a 8×12.
We are building a 8×12 with a higher pitch roof so we can have a loft for more storage with better lumber, and it will cost us around 2500, not counting our time. With the lack of quality today, it's a no-brainer
In the uk I wanted a belt and braces shed 16 x 9 foot shed in 3 x 2 inch framing with one inch tongue and groove floor and roof , with a 3/4 inch shiplap outside finish . All the timber was to be tanalised and the shed was wrapped in roofing membrane with three anti uv polymer windows . Only one company seemed to do this and was called beast sheds who had a website where you could design the shed you wanted . The total price was £3500 which I thought was expensive but I was going to take it as this design was the one I wanted . Then Covid hit and I was furloughed for 4 months so I decided to build my own , there was the odd thing I would have done differently but I was very pleased with the result and I saved myself £2000 less the cost of a nail gun which I now have for other projects like an arbour I built for £130 which was stronger , bigger and much more pleasing to the eye than the one I saw at a garden centre for three times the cost . It has put me on a journey where I have just completed some alcove cupboards in birch ply that are bespoke to my own design that I was quoted £4500 but even though I bought a £500 track saw and pocket hole jig , I did the job for £2000 . When I have used tradesmen in the past I find them expensive and no better end product and often worse than what I can do myself. My next project is fitted wardrobes in birch ply quoted £5500 but now I have a track saw with my gained knowledge of building the alcove cupboards I believe I can bring them in around £1500. The one big saving is labour but also care because it is you doing it for yourself so the job has to be right. Give it a go if you think you can do it and TH-cam is a great teacher.
Similar for me, also in the UK. Wanted a garden room but from blocks, not timber, and a warm roof. There were extensive groundworks to do (footings for 3 retaining walls, lowering ground level by 1m across a 15m x 6m area, and footings and pouring of a 9m x 4m raft slab) ... but that's just digging, barrowing, dumping and gruntwork. None of the quotes I got were less than 44k GBP (!!!) so decided to have a go myself... with my only DIY experience being the changing of light bulbs.
So far, I've done it all (buy I did get a few concrete lorries and pumps for the footings and slab) and have got it to a point of being ready for 1st fix inside and cladding on the outside. I reckon my total build cost will come in at just under 18k and that includes a lot of (quite nice and resealable cordless tools, including a nail gun like you, that aren't really for DIY use).
I tell people who ask that it shows that if someone like me can do it then pretty much anyone can. Saves a lot of money but, for me, and more importantly, it keeps my mind occupied and it's good fun... especially choosing and buying a new power tool!
Amen!

I don't think I would have ever considered doing different doors like that… But I love it!!! These look awesome!
The doors look awesome! Great all around. Curious as to why you built 5 vs one or two longer ones?
Thanks for posting this segment. I have a similar challenge with a need for additional storage and plan to utilize the space between my home and the privacy fence like yours. I appreciate the structural details you shared here and design plans. I have some D.l.Y. skills and plan to follow your example here, utilizing your ideas.
I’m no construction expert, but I’m pretty sure pouring concrete onto the grass surface isn’t a good idea. Won’t the slab sink without crushed stone base?
Probably the customer will only buy the shed (and the seller will reuse the base to build more sheds and sell them)
@@PeacefulCountryLife No, the concrete slab he poured is the base for the shed. The concrete slab needs a base of crushed stone so it doesn’t sink into the soil.
@@BeeTreeGuy I know this - I've done construction myself - what I'm saying is that maybe he intends to sell those sheds and he's not that bothered about the concrete base; and maybe he'll use those bases in the future to construct more sheds... I don't know.. :)
@@PeacefulCountryLife Oh, I thought he built them for his own use. Either way, it’s his time and money.
I've heard people argue either way
ER here in Tampa charged me $2,500 to wash my eye out after it was hit with a drop of acid. But I already had washed it out. I was there for 20 mins. ha ha. The US is wild. We are looking to make one shed like this. Happy to have found you!
Great work. Those doors look amazing. Doing it yourself is always the best option.
Thanks! I love DIYing and this project was really fun. Slightly challenging but fun
If you can build a shed, you can DIY your emergency room visit. Superglue and bit of tape for the win.
My secret is get real boozed up apply some orajel then grip it and rip it if its bad enough. Make a regular dr. visit appointment and if there is no infection by the time it rolls around cancel the visit. I went to the fired before you hit the ground school.
They look great. Great job. The color mustard isn’t that bad. Much applause 👏
DIY absolutely. And tell wife, Thank you for her service!
Yes!! Thank you and I’ll tell her! 🙌🙌
I bought an 8x10 metal shed kit and covered the roof with self stick white roofing. The foundation is treated 6"X6"s, I buried about 2/3rds into the dirt. Been about 10 years, seems ok.
I absolutely love these! I want to do a custom lean to across the entire backside of my garage that has the closed in storage on both ends & open gravel ground in the middle for my pool pump.
Do you have the plans for this project on your website? I can't find them.
Nice, but only a skilled construction guy like you can do it so beautifully, a diy homeowner like me with no construction knowledge will have a hard time 😂. Btw, may I know what paint sprayer tools are you using. Thanks for sharing your video.
looks great - which paint sprayer did you use? thanks for sharing
Great job. I'm curious, what was that cords free paint sprayer you used? So much easier than lugging around a compressor.
I watched you pour concrete directly on grass and immediately knew, “this guy is a pro, and this is the way”. All that natural fiber will help keep the “foundation” solid for centuries!!
Zero base prep. Lol. Cmon
yea right ha-ha
Probably the customer will only buy the shed (and the seller will reuse the base to build more sheds and sell them)
lol, I hope it’s a sarcasm)) all this “natural fiber” will durn into dust and a bunch of holes that would cause a major fail. I met this a Mexican contractor that pours it directly onto grass with the same “natural fiber” bs.. 6mo fail rate 100%, but he can no longer be found once he takes the money.
@@brianallen140 It is a SHED. I have poured a slab with little if any prep and it lasted at least 10 years (when I moved away). I don't understand the attitude.
This is really amazing. Love the channel and your DIY builds. I’m looking to start 2 of these for my tools and landscape materials. Just wondering do you have a page with builds or material lists etc. ??
I wanted to start a woodworking business. So I needed a 12x32 shop. I shopped around for one and the cheapest I could find was around 18k for a bare bone shed. That's with no electric, insulation or garage door. if I wanted that included it would have cost me 30k. I can't afford that. So after some research and checking prices I realized it be cheaper to just build my own. So I got the concrete slab pour at 4 inches thick for $900, the insulation for $400, the electric for $150, the lumber and hardware for around $1500. I had the metal for the roof and siding already from a demo job. But if I had to pay for it then the ballpark price would probably be around 2k. So for under 5k and 3 months I got my dream shop. it's definitely cheaper to build it yourself and a rewarding experience! if you can recycle, reuse and repurpose materials that will help a lot on saving money.
They cost 940$ because you did an awesome job and cut no corners! Cept those corners that were supposed to be cut! Great job!
🔥 These sheds look awesome! Love the doors. Thanks for sharing 👍 Saving this video for a future project for my channel- research mode now! I’m in Florida too.
You just convinced me to build my own. It is nice to have skills. Those doors are awesome. Good wife!! :)
Nice. If asked, I would suggest getting those hinge fasteners on the inside of the door jams to make a thief's job a bit more difficult. Additionally, in my neighborhood, those concrete pads would constitute the need for permits. We can strap things to pads but the structure must be easily removed if needed. 🙂Watching your work... I'm going to have to get one of those circular saw guides.
The different door designs. Good idea. I wouldn't have believed it.
$8600 for a splinter? I'm starting to feel like staying in Canada isn't such a bad idea
Awesome work. Love the finished product but the average guy will have difficulty just building 1 of those sheds. You inspired me to build 1 but your skill level is much higher than mine.
I was quoted for a 8x16 shed with 8 ft walls and 12 ft at the peak, $10k. Decided I’ll just build it myself; so far material/lumber cost is about $2k. Still don’t see how the labor cost is $8k for a shed… but lots of unskilled rich folks these days so can’t really blame them. 😂
Labor isn't $8K. there is probably $2.5k - $5k of profit margin in their pricing.
Generally, shed builders charge roughly the same price for labor as the cost of materials. 10k is high, but your materials price is not accurate for a shed that size.
The best sheds I've seen! This was an expensive video...$$$ up the wazoo! You 100% did the right thing! I think your wife could have removed that splinter...did you say $8k??
Thank you for the kind words and it was a really fun build too! Oh and she did, we tried everything and couldn’t get it out.
Absolutely DIY....there is no other way! In the end the reward is a great experience and potentially money saved, if not, most importantly knowledge learnt.
Not only would I do it, but I have built my own barn style shed, which is much bigger than those. I would do it again if needed too
Now that sounds like a fun build 👍👍
I really enjoy your videos and you have a lot of information, but can you walk through step-by-step on how to lay the concrete in building the sightings?
Nice job mate. Any reason why you sloped the roof to the front and not the back? Is it just preference or is there any technical reason?
You can build a house or project for me anytime! While simple, I clearly see & regard the superior skillset, acumen, proportions, & details, GREAT JOB.

Sheds look great! What paint sprayer did you use, and would you recommend it? Thank you.
Great video. I think you did a great job and they look awesome. I need to do a similar project and have two questions. First, why pitch them forward towards the door? I understand that when they're up against a building but these are free standing and the shorter entrance doesn't make sense. Second, why use a concrete floor for such a small shed? Usually concrete is used if you plan on having heavy objects inside. Did you price out a wood framed plywood floor? Thanks!
Those looks awesome! I was curious if rain gets inside or not without a roof above the door or not.
Thank you so much, and no water goes inside… we’ve had 4 heavy rain storms since the completion of the project and they remain fully dry inside. Now I may add a shed gutter to the front though. The rain comes off the roof and hits the dirt in front and splatters mud back onto the doors which is frustrating though.
i love it, I want to try and build my own now thanks for the video you are such a great craftsman
The bottom plates don't look like treated lumber. If not, since it is contacting concrete, and more so because the concrete will be exposed to rain, etc. the bottom plate will likely rot within a few short years. Ideally, there should also be a vapor barrier under the plate - it can be something as simple as plastic sheeting. It's not super critical for something like this though.
Well done. If I weren't so afraid to use certain power tools, I would give it a try.
So I have a garbage bin made out of wood which was old tried and decided to buy a plastic one. $800 with delivery! Holy cow, plan B. Got a 4 x 8 pressure treated 5/8 plywood. Had the associate at Home Depot cut it for me to size. $45 plus tip $10 and purchased at $16 worth of hardware. Brought paint at HD which was in the return bin $9 . Used some scrap wood I had in total about $75 !
I would not diy but would love to hire you to do mine. you and your wife have great taste! love the colors and designs!
Is this like one mini shed for each kid or family member? Nice work again! I'm about to build a bigger version of one of these.
Man those doors turned out amazing!
Facts . I had a home built through Lennar and it has been a nightmare. My home was supposed to be handicapped friendly due to my son having a disability and no it was not and the house been falling apart since day one of closing of November of last year. It is such a shame that they allow huge companies do this to hard-working citizens
I really love these sheds, I want to build one just like this in my backyard, but maybe a little shorter in height…do you have a video step by step how to???
Very sturdy sheds! Keep up the good work 👍🏼.
In Belgium you'd pay 4EUR (5$ ish) doctor's visit. They'd laugh at you in ER, but would still help you out, and charge you 25EUR (30$ ish) for ER-visit. Nice sheds!!
excellent build and each shed looks amazing. great job bro. However, $900 per shed is a bit steep. Would you be kind enough to perhaps provide a material breakdown?
6:26 what is the name of a paint gun ?
First a 6:1 labor to materials ratio is absolutely ridiculous I do not care how good of a contractor you are.
I would always suggest people plan these smaller projects as DIY. The knowledge you learn along the way is invaluable.
However
You need to write out a project plan. Get actual construction plans, even if you draw them up yourself. Dont forget cost of tools and rentals. Labor cost, even if it’s your friends and family, in most cases you will thank them with a gift or a meal atleast. If it’s hired assistance then there is their wages.
DIY is always my first suggested route but make sure you have resources to get the project finished even if you find yourself in over your head.
I built a 12"'x7' shed w/slopeing roof.all materials are pallets 😂or free.bolts from big box roofing flashing habitual fo humanity. Foundation is leveled packed found with brick support. Tolal cost $ 300 USD.
Solid build....
Absolutely and congrats, the sheds look great. Dave & The Girls
Pretty cool project, just not sure about pouring concrete straight onto grass and using shingles on a low pitch roof.
Definitely always try to DIY myself although that framing nail gun cost as much as one of those sheds I’m after at homedepot lol
great video but where are the details...I want to build just one exactly like the ones you built. I clicked on your templates link but does not have sheds
Hey man- fantastic work! I would DIY it for sure. Just curious: what the heck is the point of five tiny sheds versus one big shed/garage? I’m sure you’ve got a strategy, just curious….
Those turned out very nice....like other asked...why build 5 small sheds instead of 1 bigger shed?
I do not see a answer for everyone asking why are the sheds are so short. Looks like he made them the same height as the fence. In some HOAs you can't have your shed showing, because it's a "eye sore".
Nice work. Why did you decide on building five, instead of one or two larger ones, better wind resistance?
I thought plywood goes to crap in the rain? It's cheaper for me to use timber but more convenient to use ply. I like the cedar trim at the end and the doors alot.
love the video and for all the DIYr this easier than you think - no real special tools you couldnt rent or use the "manual" version -
this is awesome, love the final design.
Cheer~~~a simple roofed structure, typically made of wood or metal, used as a storage space, a shelter for animals, or a workshop.😊
I experimented with a cheap plastic shed, and the 100-degree summer recked it. I have to throw it away now. I also don't own the house but hate the garage being used for storage. I need at least an 8x8 or 8x5 shed. Then I need a small one for the lawn mower and garden tools. I work on my own cars and occasionally get paid top work on a car over the weekend. Having a spacious garage is awesome.
Great results! I would DIY it, but I don't have the skillset and the patience 😅
nicely done…what paint sprayer did you use to paint the sheds with? Thanks. 😊
In California, the material is so expensive I realized building a tall 10x8 shed with an existing concrete slab would cost more than just buying a plastic shed that's already waterproof I guess I would have to anchor it down but wind speeds don't even reach 40mph
can you put up your plans? Love them and looking to build some for myself
Awesome job, they look great.
Awesome video! The doors are primo! I'm more concerned about your hospital bill. You should ask for an itemized bill and fight them, or pay minimum. They'll work with you for the most part. This had to be more than just a simple splinter....really curious and nosey about the details if you care to share.
probably the nicest diy sheds ive seen lol
So buying them is the way to go then. My question would be how do the HomeDepot style sheds where you have to assemble them yourself, vs design and build your own. You were comparing to a plastic shed.
Beautifully done.
Very cool. Everything except the splinter price tag. That’s insane.
I would have pulled that splinter out for $100 and a case of beer!
Nice build!
As a contractor and someone who owned a shed-building business, I find it hard to believe someone is going to charge $6000 for a shed that size. 🙄
Great job! Just one thing: did I hear you wrong? I swear you said that there is nothing wrong with this new generation of tradesmen who charge an arm and a leg for shit work. I’m pretty sure I heard you wrong, because yes, there is something very wrong with that. Again, great job on the sheds. They look amazing.
Everything to me was cost effective until you paid $8600 for that splinter in your hand. Any way an 8x4 wood shed at Lowes is $789. The slab would cost me down here in Tx $256 each. So each shed would cost about $1045. So $6270 for 6 sheds. I love your project, but There's no way 1 of those sheds cost $6000. I got a 12x14 shed with galvanized steel bottom in my yard, by tuffShed, and it was no where near 4K or 6K for that matter, even at today's prices. But Your sheds are beautiful. And the experience is priceless.
You probably want to use Ground contact grade lumber for the ones that touch ground.
$8600.00 for a splinter is absolutely insane..I'm stunned!
Im curious how they held up with two hurricanes that came to lovely Florida. Ps what part are you in I could use your help buildi😊ng mine
those barns you made look amazing man.
