- Detailed Plans for most common shed sizes: kingsfinewoodworking.com/coll...
Includes complete materials list and cut list, with all angles and math done for you! Plus these designs maximize material use, giving you the most amount of shed for the least amount of money.
This is a complete video series detailing exactly how to build a shed from beginning to end. It is presented so that even someone with little to no experience can tackle this project. The instruction teaches the IBC (International Building Code) rules that almost every jurisdiction in the United States follows, so you will be prepared if you need a permit. But in many cases a permit isn’t required for a shed under a certain size.
This project takes only basic tools to accomplish. If you have a circular saw, a drill, a level & a hammer, along with some basic hand tools, you can do this.
There are things that will make it quicker of course, such as a nailgun & compressor. But you can decide what level of tools are needed.
I’ve broken the video into digestible parts. This makes it easier to refer back to a specific section. Or, if you only happen to need instruction in one area, this will save you time, since you can just watch what you need.

Im glad I was wasting time at work and watching you tube videos, lol. I have a 50 yr old shed I need to jack up and put a new floor under. This will be perfect for it
sounds like a fun project, Serious😁
James I'm a builder myself have been for over thirty five years and I have to say that the way that you and your awesome family get together and put together art the way Y'ALL do well puts a TINY tear in my eye what you have with your incredible family is extremely rare now days I truly wish that I was wrong about that oh yeah I call what we do art LOL please stay healthy and happy and most importantly stay together as always thumbs up my friends WOW so BEAUTIFUL
You are very kind. Thank you for such nice comments.
Overall this is a good build. There are 3 minor things I would have done differently:
1. I would have staggered the plywood seams. Yes the joists are resting on the skids, but I like that little bit of extra strength.
2. If you tack a piece of 3/4" stock to the end of the rim joists and pull your 16s from that, you can install your joists with the edge on the mark instead of eyeballing the centers of the joists. Just a little easier in my opinion.
3. This is the biggest one for me - I would never build a shed (or any other structure) in a location where I couldn't get to all sides of the structure. So while I appreciate that you had limited space, I would have either shifted it a foot or so farther away from your neighbor's shed or settled for a slightly narrower shed so that I could access the neighbor's side of it. That would have been good for your neighbor's access to that side of his shed too.
Well... at least you only have to paint that one side once 🤣
I had same thoughts
I would have also added blocking in between the joists, every 4 feet. This would allow the 6" OC nailing around the perimeter of each plywood sheet.
What a great video. Clear, easy to follow guidance. You are a great teacher. Can't wait for Part 2 !!
Thanks for the video, it's not diy if you have many workers and heavy equipment.
two hours with a bobcat including taking that concrete rubble away to a waiting trailer, pulling a small stump and placing several tons of stone. No doubt a very efficient pace. Your statement that all this could be done in about 1/2 a day/4hrs by hand with a wheeled barrow is a very optimistic estimate. I would think you have hugely under estimated to value of the bobcat and similarly underestimated the time necessary to complete the work by hand by at least 2 to 1.
People who don’t like spending money always do that. “All you gotta do is”. I’m the “I’m pretty sure there’s a deliberate tool for that” kind of person lol.
Great demonstration of getting foundations right to start off the project. So many times if you take the time to do the foundation right you avoid problems later in the project. Also, great discussion of why and when you might want to stagger the seams of your floor sheeting.
dont you hate it when the video starts the guy says you need the minimalistic tools later you see them using bobcats plate compactors and jack hammers lol good video
Its just a big shovel
I remember building our two sheds (but years apart). They weren't ready cut by any means, but we did follow plans. Even still, it took us months (my dad was working full time and I was still in school, so we could only build it on weekends). But we anchored the foundation to cement posts both times.
We have actually been talking about building our own shed for a few years now. This video was extremely helpful. Looking forward to watching the rest of the build and preparing to then build one ourselves. Lots of great helpful comments on this as well. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my. Thank you for this warm video. I love that family builds shed together. Beautiful.
Your family has skills! And they work like SeaBees -- hard, smart, and well. You have taught them well. You must be quite proud of each of them.
Best DYI video on TH-cam, Hands down. After watching all 4 I now feel very comfortable tackling this project. I have done a lean to on my own but this make tackling my shed/workshop exciting. Thank you so much!
Love the detail and easy to follow directions. Will definitely gave me great confidence to built mine now. Thanks a million.
Best shed building vid I have watched so far. Many thanks. Looking forward to watching the rest
I would definitely use pre notched beveled skids. Also LP smartfloor lasts a whole lot longer flooring wise.
Great job
Thank you for being so detailed in your descriptions of what's happening. Loved it!
This is fantastic, can't wait to see the rest of the series!. This is fantastic, can't wait to see the rest of the series!.
Great team work! When you compact the ground with plate compactor, make sure spraying some water along with compaction. This will help the solid to achieve optimal moisture content and eliminate settlement in the future. Also, try compact the soil no more than 4 to 6 inches if your base is thicker.
Wow, I love the family thing, that is really cool. Definitely looks like they know exactly what their doing. Thank you for sharing with those of us who have no idea, but are willing to learn.
Seeing your girls building a shed together gives me hope. I have two daughters (four and 6 months) and hope to get them involved in my shop projects.
Thank you for posting this video, i was inspired how hard your daughters worked, and the skills your teaching them. Excellent commentary .
James your series based videos are some of the best available, always a pleasure, thank you for sharing your expertise and experience with all of us
Hi Beau, thank you! You are very kind!
Hi. Nice video. While I am familiar with construction I did learn something: the permanance of red v blue chalk. And great to see your daughters doing the work. That made me very happy.
James, I am impressed with the detail that you shared in leveling the ground and securing the plywood to the base. You have done an outstanding job and I look forward to the videos yet to come.
Hi Eddie! Thank you!!
M
I don’t know if you’re still around but I found your video very reassuring. I am taking on a similar project with the help from my sis in law who is very capable. What a wonderful skill you’re teaching your daughters!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. We have a bunch of new videos coming out this fall!
This is a very well done video with easy to follow instructions. Great to have the young people involved. Thanks for posting…most helpful. Have been a subscriber and will continue to watch this series.
LOVE IT! So great James and Fam!
This is fantastic, can't wait to see the rest of the series!
Thank you!
A pro tip. When marking stud locations, offset the tape measure 3/4", then the marks will be the edge of the stud. Mark an "X" on the side where the stud should go. Much more precise than eyeballing the center of the stud. I do realize that perhaps you skipped this as your target audience is novice level.
Great video! Your video's are always so informative and your narration is the best. Looking forward to watching the progress of your shed building. Keep up the great work!
Hi Lori, thank you!!!
I am very impressed at how you made this whole build so easy to follow. You are an excellent teacher and builder. This is close to what I need to build and wouldn't have thought of the 6” long timberlock bolts.
Thank you
Thanks for describing everything that’s going on here, so much great information!
Oh thank goodness, I've been going through King's fine woodworking withdraw!! Awesome job again, can't wait to see the rest of the series!!
Thank you!! We have a lot coming out here in the next several weeks.
Beautiful work brother thanks for teaching us 🙏
Hurray! The King Family (and friends) building again. Love you guys. 😘
Kings’ Fine Woodworking Community is awesome.
And I’ve been thinking about building a shed. Now I have no excuse.
Hi Barbara! Let us know what size. I’ll send you some plans if you like.
Great video! I really enjoy seeing you and your family working on projects together. As a licensed architect (and former carpenter), I'd like to point out a minor correction. The UBC is no longer used. It, and the other model building codes (SBC, BOCA, etc.), was retired about 20 years ago. Many aspects of them were incorporated into the IBC (International Building Code). Each state eventually adopted this new model code, with specific alterations. The IBC for each state is readily available for free online. I only mention this to prevent someone from looking up requirements based on an obsolete code. Perhaps you meant to say IBC, instead of UBC. If that is the case, my apologies.
Great video. I am planning on making a shed here soon as a walk-in style chicken coop, so i find video's like this very helpful. I am planning on doing a concrete foundation so I'll be skipping the flooring part.
Awesome video! Great teamwork. Ty for sharing.
Thanks!! I want to build one now! Awesome job.
Thanks for the walk through this is great to aatch explanation makes sence to a newbie like myself.
Society develops wit, but its contemplation alone forms genius.
You have a good dedicated crew. I see them in all your videos.
I like that you show imperfections and correct them. Telling of a true good content maker!!! In my opinion of coarse. Great Vid!!
Hi Michael, thank you!!
Love each and every detail!!! This helps out soooooo much
Thank you!!
Nice job, many thanks from France 👍👍👍
Looking forward to the rest of the series. You guys make it look easy!
Thank you!
No worries at all! My Shed Plans brings me up to speed with professional tips and tricks used by the pros [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. It really let me learn how to handle carpenter equipment, follow the right safety rules, and how to do your projects professionally so that they will look good and last!
Things I would have done differently:
#1 & 2, I would have done it on a concrete slab, and put at least 4 trailer tie-downs in the ground before I did the concrete base.
#3, Paint the skids with either red guard or a rubber spray and the floor joists as well.
#4 &5, Before I attached the floor, I would have gone ahead and bolted in the joists and then layered about 3 varying sizes of wire mesh and a window screen...it helps to keep pests out.
When I do something, I tend to think long-term and go a bit over board.
Fantastic video with great detail!
This is a good idea. It works well for small items or 3-5 items. For me any more than that is so exhausting. Also using the plunger that way for long periods cause blisters. Trying to find a way to remedy that.
Awesome work as usual. I love the extra taken on squaring the structure. I used the Dewalt drill you sent me today too mate. Thank you James.Sending love to you all my brother xo
Hi Colin!! How are you my friend!! 😁👍🏻
@@KingsFineWoodworking Good thanks James. I've been missing your videos so great to see a new one. I'm juggling the weather, work, and my health which has been distracting but I'm determined to come back strong mate. Time to tune up the table saw again I reckon lol..
Black and red chalk the same. Black chalk is permanent and can be used on concrete and withstand many rains! Good job getting everyone involved.
This is a super helpful video, James. Thanks very much for taking the time to film and share this.
Hi John!! Thank you!
Helpful information, I'm preparing the materials to build a smaller shed
nice seeing family working together. I really like your videos
Hi James!! Thank you!!
That was amazing 👏🏿
You sir, are a very pleasant, very thorough instructor. My fiance and I started a10x10 shed today from watching your vids, again thank you for what you do..I truly appreciate and enjoy your videos...
Thank you for such a kind note.
Only 2 things that would need to change where I live, one is code, the other personal preference. The code issue is that any structure (permanent or temporary) must be no less than 5 feet away from the property line. The preference issue would be to very tightly, line the front and back edges of the floor, between the ground and the underside of the floor, with concrete landscape blocks. In this video, you have those areas exposed. This would prevent skunks, ferrel cats, and other critters from establishing a home under your shed. I have tried using coarse gravel to do this, but they just dug it out of their way and nested there anyway. The concrete blocks are too heavy for them to move. If skunks, or any other rodents decide to nest under your shed, they will eventually chew through the floor of the shed and create all sorts of nasty issues for you.
I have Skunks living under our shed for the past 20 years and they haven't through the floor of either shed.
@@jessicacoldwell5414 You're lucky they're not as aggressive by you as they are by me. My dog and I got sprayed twice in three years. That ended when I placed landscape blocks around my shed. I went two layers deep into the ground, and all the way up to the underside of the shed.
This is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
@4min30 I thought that was the end for the pool! :) Can't wait to the the rest of the series!
Excellent! I need to make a shed (the Rubbermaid shed isn't cutting it any more) and this give me ideas. I was planning on concrete pad, mostly because we have moles that LOVE to tunnel under things.
Hi Dan, awesome! And thanks for watching!
Ty, this is really helpful!
Great video! I always learn something new
12:53 I never thought about this! what a nice little trick.
Love the videos! Great job!
Your channel rules dude. Thanks very informative!
Best builder I have ever seen great work always a pleasure watching 😍
You are very kind. Thank you.
Love this channel ❤️.Love this type of videos.
Hi Tammy!! Thank you!!!
"Great video. Enjoyed the commentary with explanations. Much appreciated, thanks." -Tom
Awesome!!! Well done King family!!
Thanks Shaun!
Excellent James. Well done.
Thanks!!
Love the video been checking every day for a new video from you. Keep up the good work James your a excellent role model on wood working and being a good dad. I must say tho I was very surprised you didn't glue the plywood down. That would have been awesome to watch you do that!
Hi! Thank you! That would have been awesome!
? Why?
Very nice. Looks a lot sturdier than the stuff on the rollback lots that are all over the place now.
Good to know that puppers was keeping an eye on construction!
James King, woodworking’s Bob Ross. Great video! I certainly picked up a couple tips that could only come from experience.
Thank you! You’re very kind!
Can't wait for the rest of the series! :)
Hi Kathleen, thank you!
Nice work! Like the level pad you made. Just one thing to add....If you angle the ends and drill holes for chain in the ends of the skids before you lay them in place it will be a lot easier to move should you ever need. You can jack it up and put a pipe under it for it to slide on. The holes will allow you get a chain so you can drag it with a truck, skid steer, or lawn tractor. You can come back and do it later, but it will be a little bit harder.
Hi Danny, great points. We were meaning to do both of those things but had so much going on, we skipped right over it.
Awesome work!!🤙🏼💪🏼
Very informative and great detail. Thank you.
Thank you!!
Good job on the foundation and floor, I'll be waiting for the video when you go ahead and start erecting walls and finish up the shed.
Can’t wait to see the rest!
Hi Brian, thank you!
Love watching you and the family work together James! Great job and looking forward to the next installment..
Thank you!!
FYI from a Texas home inspector: the state code wants ALL structures to be off of the ground if they have a wooden base, even if it's just up by an inch on a cement block. Wood-to-ground contact is a conducive condition to termites. I write up people all the time in my home inspections for having a wooden backyard shed that's in contact with the ground. It doesn't matter if it's treated wood. If it's in contact with the ground, it has to go on the report and that can cause issues when trying to sell the property. Always put your sheds up on non-wood blocks of some sort.
Interesting rules in Texas. This shed is portable. And, I used lumber rated to 40 years below grade. It’s not gonna rot before I die of old age.
I never understood the overzealous attitude with things like this. Why can't the homeOWNER just take that calculated risk?
Just a Texas thing man, not all places that way and I don't agree with it. I understand it but it's the homeowners choice I wish was the case
His shed his rules . State wants to get in bed with Americans and inspect how they do it ???
Thanks for sharing!
this is wholesome as hell!
Yes this is the best tutorial 👏
Thanks!
I never knew blue chalk was removable. Another great video
What a great crew you have there.
Yes, I am very lucky!
Love the wonderful tips here! ♾️🔮🔮♾️
Welcome back been missing you guys!
Thank you!!!
is definitely is not a one person job is nice to have your family a round you good luck with the project looking forward to seeing part 2
Thank you!
i would still stagger the seams for the floor--probably not an issue with his build as you said... I like to use exterior grade screws for the floor as well, depending on the pressure treated wood it may dry out (they can be wet from the pressure treating process) and the nails get loose, and you get a wonky floor. but great build looks awesome and super sturdy!
nice work, very nice
Very awesome video.
I giggled cuase you started with 'very few and very basic tools needed' and followed with skid steer and XLR88 Jack Hammer :)
24:31 nailed 3" in from end
And used a forstner bit to countersink the bolts.
Great video!
thanks for being so thurough the only comment i have is when the 2x4s were cut, it would've been ideal to seal the ends that were cut because if not water will be soaked up and its going to start rotting the lumber(defeating the purpose of it being pressure treated). other than that great job!
Great project, that’s the same size as my shop. Very useful space.
It would make a good shop
Helpful video.
Thank you!
