Check out the process of building a lean to shed from start to finish. I hope this shed project build gives you some ideas and inspiration to build your own man cave, she shed, backyard office, or storage shed! This lean to style shed is 10 feet by 10 feet and built on skids. The cost to build this shed is about $3000 for wood and supplies ( updated August 2022 ). to build the project will vary, but I would give yourself 1-2 weeks depending on your skill level and time available. I did not do plans for this shed, but the video will show you the overall process to build one and you can modify as needed.

I have built a few sheds. Great job. I always use a Z strip at the seam to keep the water out.
Looks good. I did it a little differently. A family was demolishing a 100yo carriage shed. I just took the whole shed. Disassembled it, moved it to my property. Had to replace a few rotten pieces. Basically got 10x12 for under $200, and a lot of sweat equity.
Did you make a video of the dismantling and rebuilding of the shed? A Century Old Shed’s craftsmanship must’ve been a great skill learned on how it was built.
I know I have told you this before but I wouldn’t be able to get anything done there because I would find a chair and a coffee pot and stare into the beautiful country side all day. It’s a great looking shed !
Thanks so much! Haha, yeah we do enjoy the views for sure too :) Cheers!
Color scheme is on point for a modern look. Thumbs up
Came for the shed, stayed for the background. Amazing views
My first time to build a shed from salvaged materials and on a budget. I am not a carpenter but i do have tools and wants to build. Thanks for sharing your video, i picked up some ideas that i think would be productive.
Awesome video! I’m glad the TH-cam algorithm suggested your channel to me.
I'm in the middle of building my shed right now. I must say, through all the shed builds and especially roofing portion videos I've sifted through, this video is the best one. Thank you for uploading this.
Pete you're legit putting out some of the best DIY content out there. This shed is top tier and I can't wait to see how you develop your rink. Keep killing it man! Awesome video!
Great to hear from you Nick, thanks a ton man! Have a great week!
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve watched a ton of DIY and building videos and this is probably the best one I’ve ever seen. I’ve built two sheds previously and I’m starting on a chicken coop this weekend (8x8 lean to) so this was a great video to watch to get started.
@@michelleashton6712 Thanks so much Michelle! Hope the chicken coop project goes great!
That is by far one of the most beautiful sheds, I've ever seen. Big thumbs 👍 here. Just awesome and detailed instructions.
Thanks so much for the kind words and for taking the time to watch and comment. Cheers!
Thanks for doing this, and even showing the costs. All the little things add up, and it's nice to see you be honest about it.
This is definitely inspiring me to build my own shed Pete! Hope to see some new diy vids soon, we miss your content!!

Beautiful shed and amazing colors! You’re always your own worst critic, but I think this shed is perfect! And the shed complements it’s beautiful surroundings. Congrats!
I'm originally from Livingston. I recognized the hill behind you. Good work brother.
Thank you, Pete! I just got the plans for this and can't wait to get started on my own project. I will send you a video once it's completed.
Always a good day to find a DIY Pete video waiting foe me! Love the build and great tutorial. Looking forward to the ice rink shed and some hockey as well. Thanks for posting and GBR!
Hey Jeff! Thanks so much. And what a fun game to watch yesterday with Nebraska vs Oklahoma. We played pretty darn good against #3 in the nation. Hoping we are on the brink of turning things around. Cheers!
Thanks Pete. I am thinking of building a shed for my driveway with two doors front and back. But want to reinforce the front to keep the two legged critters out.
look at the doggy! what a cutie! great video - super helpful!
Pete. Shed really looks great. I agree that the black window looks far better than if you had left it white. Love your basic approach to these projects.
Very nice build. Love the simple style. Maddie is a Beauty, give her a pat for her quality control inspection😂👍
The color combo turned out really nice.
Thanks Chris!
Beautiful shed and excellent build presentation. Robin.
Thanks, I needed to understand a lean flat roof. I just think it’s saver for one person.
I know making it structurally sound is the most important, but the gray and stained wood look so good, that is what catches my attention the most
Thank you for a great video of the build, and some beautiful views of those beautiful mountains in the background.
Dude, well done. Even just watching the first few seconds helped me figure out some ideas. Well done, hope you keep doing your thing. Will be sure to check out other videos.
Man I wish i had watched your video before i built my shed. I didn't account for the 3.5inches to burn on my stud placement for my side walls, so the siding didnt line up. Still worked out with a little bit of extra work but thank you for mentioning that. Now I know for the future to account for it =)
I thought that looked like Montana, then I saw the MT license plate. I'm in Missoula, thanks for thr video. Fixin to build a shed this spring
That she'd looks awesome. Man some people don't know how good they have it I've never seen mountains in person never seen a cactus never seen palm tree or the ocean its like I live in a different world
Welcome back Pete!! Glad to see a new video up. I think I was wearing out the replay button on last years rink build!
Hey Marc! Thanks so much and I hope your Sunday issuing great! haha, thanks for checking out the rink build :) I was definitely needing to get out a new video, been too long! Cheers
building my own Shed now i hope it comes out atleast half as nice as this one.
Wow, best video. Well explained, easy to follow. Really on a budget and so much better looking than those $5k+. This shed has character. I'm also glad you show your mistake and how to remediate it. lll be building my own once warmer weather hits my area. Thanks for such awesome video
I just finished my shed with your plans. It turned out great. Thank you!!
Great job. And with current prices too, thanks. Shame lumber is still high in Fort Worth, TX due to a lot of new home builds. Right now I'm going to have the slab poured and just buy one of those plastic sheds. A wood one is just not worth it at current prices. Again, thanks with the great information too.
@19:00 "Half inch sheet of USB" Oh boy, I learn something new every day.
i think my hours of video editing were getting to me haha. must have been plugging in my external hard drive or something and said usb for some reason, cheers!
The shed looks great! I was looking at possibly building my own shed 8x16 same style but after pricing out lumber, supplies, my time, I may just go with a pre-made shed from a company. Lumber prices are still crazy here in Canada and it's not worth my down time from my kids.
I like how you show what it looks like in the beginning of the video. Also, nice looking shed!
Thanks Bob!
a very nice cover to target shoot from when its snowy or raining. i like it.
May Suggest using galvanized steel frame for the base you will be able to tie the structure to the ground in high wind areas with rebars hammered into ground. Mesa, Arizona ♥️
Fascinating video! I couldn't build a dog house, much less a shed.
What an absolutely beautiful piece of property. I'm jealous :) Shed is awesome too.
Nice work, beautiful view no matter where you look!
Thanks for watching!
This is just what I needed to see. Probably watched it 50 times but it really helped me as I built mine. I did use 10' for the front so have a deeper pitch. Thanks for the info!
How did you tie-in the the 10' wall studs to the side walls?
Pete my man, thanks for doing this. Getting out of the Army soon and thinking of building a shed at my house.
Thanks for serving our country Oscar! And I'm excited for you to build a shed at your home, it will be a fun project for you! Cheers
Did something similar about 4 years ago.
But I did a tin roof and I found a 6ft by 5ft steel roll up door on sale for 200 bucks and installed that instead of swinging doors.
2 years after that almost every neighbour around me copied it and built the same shed lol.
Video saved to my shed playlist and I'll be using some of your tips, cheers from the UK 🇬🇧 👍
Love you're style. Happy to see I'm not the only one who super over kills their projects. 👍👍👍
Thanks! Yeah I tend to overbuild as well :) Cheers!
This is awesome! I’m trying to decide whether to buy, build from a kit, or build a shed. I think I may build from a kit since this will be my first shed build. But your videos make me feel like I could build from scratch if I want to spend the extra time. Thank you!
Can't wait to see the ring back up and the Knights flag I sent hanging ! Your projects are awesome !
16 dollars a sheet! We pay over 50 here in the UK. Excellent video, thank you.
Thanks for watching! We were over $50 a sheet not long ago, but prices in the US for OSB have decreased significantly. Hope things fall in the UK soon for ya. Cheers!
This is a great video I like the way you explain everything really simple to the point keeping them coming you're a great narrator and good job
You're obviously a pro. Nice job!
awesome video, awesome build. The only thing I would add is to consider putting 2 to 3 coats of polyurethane to prevent molding after staining the trim. I learned that lesson the hard way myself.
He’s back!! Nice shed, looks like one We built a couple years back.
Awesome Chris! I take it you did a lean to style shed as well, I bet it looks great! Hope all is well!
Great looking shed! The colour and stained trim are very similar to what I am building now. I’m working on a 10x15 storage shed/workshop.
Hey Jonathan, that's awesome and you'll have a great new workspace!
This was a great video. Very detailed. Greatly appreciated this. Love the excel sheet also. Thank you
You bet, thanks for watching!
Glad to see you back on youtube, for this year rink maybe try to make some line on the ice. But it's up to you. enjoy doing your next project!
Thanks Benjamin! I'm looking at doing the LED rope lighting for blue and red lines at night which looks to be pretty simple to do. Hope all is well !
Glad to see you back after a long time, Pete!
Thanks Ashish and awesome to hear from you!
Aloha, Pete! Thoroughly enjoyed watching your latest video. That’s one handsome shed!
Thanks so much! Hope all is well and thanks so much for watching!
@@DIYPETE Meant to say, the colour combo you chose for the shed is really striking! Love the dark grey & wood stain combo - made even more modern feeling by the window you went through the trouble to paint black.
That's a very handsome shed! I built a woodshed this summer and might be adding a garden shed next year. This has given me a lot of ideas. Thanks so much for sharing!
You need to make a vocabulary list for all the carpenter jargon you are using. A lot of us would like to learn.
Shouldn’t there be some flashing on those horizontal seems in the siding?
great video and color scheme miss your videos glad you uploaded a new one :)
Thanks Ems! Great to hear from you.
Great video!!! I'm taking a lot of your concepts straight into my shed build. Thanks!
Awesome! Have fun with the build!
This is a great instruction for building the shed I am kind of looking for. Many thanks for the video and explanation. That will be my next project when we finally move into our house that I am building at the moment. Cheers!
Awesome. I will use this video as a guideline for my shed build (due in 2020 summer). Thanks, Pete.
Olá Pete! Sou do Brazil,os seus vídeos são sensacionais. Parabéns....
Wood prices are still very high. I'm thinking getting a metal shed and putting wood framing as secondary support and floor. A 12x12 metal shed can be had $600 in my area of colorado. Compared $2600 to building out of wood. Spare scrap wood can be used in a metal shed as sturdier framing to bring down cost too.
I just recently bought an Amish built 8x12 high barn shed with vapor barrier already installed, on skids, two 2 ft lofts for just around $3,100 and free delivery. I calculated out the cost of the amount of lumber it would have taken to build the same thing and it was right around the same price, so I just bought pre made. But jazzed it up a bit. Added in flooring and shiplap style siding in the walls in the inside.
That's awesome Kaleb! A great deal for a shed and cool you've been able to customize it :)
Thank you much, Pete. Greetings from Chihuahua, México.
Thanks Jose! Hope all is well in Chihuahua! Take care amigo.
I actually paid for a 10 x 10 pre cut kit; it priced out 200 dollars more than buying the lumber; but it also came with all the nails and screws; door hinges; and door handles/lock, roofing materials, drip edge and caulking.
Overall; it was a wash as far as price goes, unfortunately though it was of lower quality framing than you'd normally do on your own. When all said and done though; it holds up strong and does the job just fine!
Took about 3 hours to put together with two of us. Then I did the roofing in a couple hours by myself a couple days later..
Next one I will just build though because in honesty the biggest issue I have is that I would like to customize to my liking more, But for a quick solution the pre cut kit was nice. Also; it delivered in one nice package for about 60 dollars.
Very nice job Pete!
Love this video i’m trying to build the same shed in the back of my yard. Love it.
You can do it!
Very nice DIY video and thoroughly produced. Enjoyed the colors and stain you chose. Great Job Pete! New Subscriber
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave some feedback! Cheers and have a great week!
Love the paint and stain choices. Look awesome
Thanks for watching!
Great color and love the trim
Thanks!
Good vid, good work! Only thing if you build a biggest structure, run your plywood left to right instead of vertical. Expansion and contraction will show later on. Mainly only with 3tab shingles.
Life is good. You have a beautiful property
Thanks for the tips!
excellent video. until i heard him say "ruff" its roof brother lol
i need to build a shed to keep some bikes out of the weather and this will help me plan it out
Glad to see another video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Brendan, great to hear from you!
😎 😎. Even the boss came and gave a paw of approval😅.
Planning to follow your instructions and build something like this. Anyway you can make a detailed video for the doors. I just can't wrap my head around that part for some reason
Great project, and the final results was beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
uggggh, the view! can I live in the shed?! 😍
Haven't seen you post in awhile. Welcome back!!
Thanks Joseph! Feels great to finally get a new video up. I hope all is well and that you are having a great Sunday! Cheers
It turned out amazing❤
this has been the easiest way ive seen so far...im just gonna have a floating foundation with a gravel base an the foundation blocks...an its gonna be 10x16...but thnks its been helpful...
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear it was helpful.
Wow what a beautiful place to live!
Fantastic simple explanations for this design. Well edited too. Great design, you have a new subscriber. Canadian here, so I appreciate the outdoor hockey hut :)
Good job Pete!
Thanks Mike! Your concrete videos pop up on my feed quite often and the slabs are looking good! Cheers
A concrete complete compliment from mike day concrete to the man Pete
You’re a craftsman. Great job. Question: did you rent or buy the scaffolding? Thank you.
MY FLOOR FRAME I USED 2X6 12FTX10FT FRAME AND 2X4 10FT 16 CENTER LIKE A WALL INSTEAD OF 2X6 SAVED MONEY AND IT WORKED
Such a beautiful Vista you have! Gorgeous!!!
Brilliant - (I’m going to build this, best regards from Australia)
Awesome to hear from Australia! Good luck with the build!
Really nice looking modern shed! Love how the colors come together. Looks like that window was installed upside-down. Those weep holes are supposed to be at the bottom of the window to let any water that gets in to escape. Overall, it is a very good-looking shed, and the construction was on point 👍
nice one, quite professional
Very knowledgeable and awesome craftsmanship, keep it up, I subscribed right now
Thanks so much!
Great video brother good bless you from California
Great job! That looks amazing.
Appreciate it!
The back drop is amazing
Thanks for watching!
Hella nice job...I'm thinking the trim color black like the window would look dang nice.
