This shed that we built in the video was 7 feet deep by 10.5 feet wide . The base we built was 12 feet by 8 feet. Less waste that way and it fit 3 pieces of plywood perfectly next to each other.
When you’re building the base make sure you have more braces than we did and supports in the middle. Also don’t skimp out on the plywood thickness. Because this is a plastic shed the floor was very soft and sagging so we had to move it and reinforce the entire base. It was a nightmare. I’m putting a video out on that in the next couple weeks
@BillC-eq8ym you could just go to Home Depot and get 118 of their HDX tough storage bins instead. That would cost you $1,422.96. They hold 27 gallons. That would be a total of 3,186 gallons of storage. Or this Rubbermaid shed that is 428 CU Feet or 3,201 gallons of storage for $1,599.00 😂 I guess the storage bins are a better deal
Nice @fronttowarddenemy7972 our shed was 10x7. We used 8-10 inches of gravel, mainly for drainage. So we ordered 50 cubic feet of gravel or 2.5 tons. Had a little left over 👌 good luck
Prices have gone up a tad... that shed cost me $1600 (inflation). I just completed it all alone, placing it on a concrete paver base I put down last fall (24x24x2" 100 pounders). Key thing for any of these "snap" together sheds... a 100% completely level base is key. My only complaint so far is on the very first wall to go up, they forgot to route out one of the finger holes in the base. Drove me nuts as to why it would not go in until I looked at it closely (with the base being black, it was easy to miss). I used treated 2x4s around the inside parameter to allow me to drill concrete anchors through them and the bottom and screw the side walls into. The thought that only 10 small screws anchored between the sides and bottom soft plastic were all that held this thing from blowing away gave me chills to the bone. I now have a plate to build my internal shelves on top of and provide even more abilities to screw the sides into along the top. No way will this thing go anywhere now. The door lock clasp is a joke... I'm going to beef up the entire door system (skim the inside with 1/2" plywood and put on better handles and a heavy door clasp. Will make it much more robust.
Great insight 👍🏼 I love the 2x4 idea at the bottom and yes those 10 little screws and lock are a joke. It’s still a decent little shed for the price even with inflation because the wood sheds are all marked up in price as well.
How do you like it? @hanstokke9950 inflation has hit on all fronts. I believe the sticker price was higher than $999 when we got it but it was on sale and we used a coupon so we saved a good amount.
I’m actually working on a video about that now. We made a bunch of mistakes on the foundation. I had to move the shed and fix it. Long and short of it was we did not put enough support under it. And because it was a plastic shed it really magnified the lack of support on the floor. But to answer your other question, we used 2B.
Hey David, NOT your dad’s fault 😂 both of our doors need a little help closing. The left door needs to be lifted so the locks line up. On the right side, we need to lift the front corner of roof up a little to get the door closed. Nothing seems to line up exact on this shed but it’s not a deal breaker at that price point. After about a month things seemed to settle into place. Maybe the plastic warming up made it loosen
@@GoodTroubleHomeHave you had any luck with the doors “settling” or lining up properly in the last year? I just installed the same model. My doors do exactly the same. Left door hard to close to make latches line up. Right door requires lifting edge of right roof to close completely. I tried shimming from below to make adjustments, but no luck. Any suggestions are appreciated.
What were the actual dimensions of the base? I have the shed demensions but it is actually larger than 10 ft.

I'm only using 2*4 treated so going back to get 2 12 footers instead of 10.
And then the dollar store to get soap
2 x 4 base should be fine as long as you’re not putting anything too heavy in there. Good luck!
This family is funny. Thanks for the laughs.
Thank you @everydayworklife 👍🏼 I wish I could get my whole crew into more of our videos
Dance moves 10/10 🤣🤣
Ha ha! Thanks Tamiko
Did you anchor the shed to the base?
I did it on my own, it’s possible. Used a ladder for support to hold walls in place while I secured.
Great Video. 😂
Thank you @ATLTRANSPORTER2 we had fun making that video!
Completely open to the elements, JUNK!!

Y’all get a10/10 for your dance moves.😅
Your the best Demetria 🤣 we really appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Mine comes in today! How many cubic feet of gravel did you use?....Thanks in advance !

Thanks so much, what was your favorite part?

This was 2 years ago. We just bought the same shed (2024) and cost 1588 pus tax in New York from Home Depot.

Hair dryer on the windows before you start peeling will save you a good 30 mins getting that protective paper off… makes it easy Peary!
Great advice, thank you Sue! I’ll definitely remember that next time
LOL... I went though that and learned to heat them as well.
Dance moves a solid 6 Which is above average :)
😂🤣 we’ll take it. Best compliment so far this year!
Can you describe how you built your foundation base? What gravel did you use (2A or 2B)?
I’m actually working on a video about that now. We made a bunch of mistakes on the foundation. I had to move the shed and fix it. Long and short of it was we did not put enough support under it. And because it was a plastic shed it really magnified the lack of support on the floor.
But to answer your other question, we used 2B.
Great video!
@@dreamdaycharleston thank you so much. I have a follow up video coming soon on some of my likes and dislikes with the shed
@@GoodTroubleHome Whatever happened to the follow-up video?
It’s about 98% done. Holidays and my job set my editing back. I promise it’s coming VERY soon
Great video! Did you anchor the shed down?
It’s funny you ask Kevin! I have a video dropping tomorrow and SPOILER ALERT: that’s the main topic 🤦🏻♂️
Dance moves on 100 🥳
LOL 😂 thanks! No formal training if you can believe that
I have a question? For the left door do you guys have to lift it up a bit to get it open? Or maybe my dad and I installed it a bit wonky 😅
