I’m about 50% though building my shed and this was the shed that I’ve based mine on, thanks again! Also, you should do an update video of the inside and any alterations!
im currently building my racing pigeon loft and fortunately you come across my reccomendation, ive watch so many videos for the past 2months and let me tell ya, your way is the very easiest and chilling way, and i commend you by that, thankyou for sharing your video more power to your channel
A great shed and one of the best I’ve seen on CZcams. I am thinking of building one myself in the next month so I would like to ask if you have a full materials list for what timber you have used please?
What a truely Excellent video, instructions for every detail I'm needing to build the exact same shed so pleased i found your video!. very well done to you. Thank you
This is just what I was looking for. Thank you for uploading this great build video. I can't wait to get a crack on when the weather gets better. Thanks mate as you have solved all my shed problems 😁😁😁 I have Subscribed to your channel and I look forward to more great projects from you. Thank you and be safe out there. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Really helpful video. Have been designing my shed build for this spring based on almost exactly the same configuration and dimensions, but had completely over-engineered it!! Timber frame and studs all now downsized, along with budget! Thanks!
OSB board = Oriented strand board board. Sorry couldn't resist. I'm just about to start building my shed/garden room, so watching a lot of videos like this. Always good to see how other people approach their builds, every one is ever so slightly different and that's perfect for finding little tips and things that could apply to my own project. Thanks for the video.
Which video have you found to be the best? And whats the rough cost of building one from scratch if you don’t mind me asking? I’m thinking of doing the same thing instead of buying a flimsy flat pack.
@@James-yy4vl most of the videos I've been watching are aimed at garden rooms, but the same techniques apply to a very high quality shed. I'd say if it's just for storage and you don't plan to insulate it, then something this size can be built to a good standard for under £2000
Great video mate 👍 I’ve built one very similar just the door to finish now. Which size tee hinges did you go for? Im struggling to find any narrow enough to fix to the face of the 38mm wide batten
What do you do for a living? Heart surgeon?! Your accuracy is unreal. Excellent job. One thing I’d say is to put corraline / corralux bitumen corrugated sheets ontop of that felt. Felt is a false economy
Always put hinges inside. And I think you mistakenly said 1.8m high for the door opening, I think you meant 1.80m. Then that would be doing the door at 1.79m
Maybe in your area things are different but for areas I have lived in the council stipulate at least 1m between shed and boundary. It would be worth mentioning this to people who may copycat your project, nicely made as it is.
My dude, this is awesome. Such clean work too, this should definitely have way more views. Question- how has the door been holding up, as I was planning a 1200 but wasn’t sure if I should do 2 600s or if the 1200 is strong enough?
Thanks Luke - I’m flattered anyone is watching at all tbh! As for the door - It’s holding up perfectly so far. The wider a door, the more it wants to ‘sag’ under it’s own weight. That’s why it’s important to have diagonal braces transferring the sagging load directly back towards the three hinges, one for each ledge.
Reference your query on annular ring shank nails. The annular refers to the ring, wrapped around the nail shank. (Annular means ring shaped.) They grip soft woods better than straight shank or screw shank, which turn as you hammer them in.
Hi Can You Please Tell Me The Size Of Materials Used. As I Would Like To Build Myself A 3 meter x 2.4 Meter Shed. As You Have Done A Great Job Of Yours. Well Done Great Video
Hi Taj - thanks very much. All studs 2x2 except roof and doorway timbers which are 3x2. The bearing timbers and doorway timbers are treated as they are likely get wet but other wise not, in order to keep costs down. The feather board is also treated. I believe this is a reasonable compromise between cost and longevity
Thanks for the reply. I am torn with the base you have OR a base of 2x4 all around and using the concrete floor as the base. 1. OSB on timber bearers 2. Frame that sit on risers or anchor jacks 3. Frame that is flush on the concrete and secured on by anchor bolts
In hindsight would you have painted the treated timber battens with the bitumen paint as well or is that just massive overkill? I know the timber is treated already but just a thought as it’s resting on concrete? Anyway, great video again! 👍🏻
The base is completely free draining, not concrete. Considering the bearing timbers are pressure treated the bitumen paint would have been overkill. If the base was a concrete pad, I might have been tempted to paint them since there is more chance they could be sat in pooled water.
Hi Gary and thanks. No issues with condensation since there are so many gaps between the timbers - It’s just a very basic storage shed that keeps the water off the stuff inside. If the timbers were very closely fitted e.g. tongue and groove or osb walls then I might consider leaving a vent gap under the eaves, ensuring (wind blown) rain couldn’t get in or, especially if I wanted it insulated, start to consider breathable membranes etc etc etc
I’ll be honest - not going to bother with guttering (as much as I agree it could be added for the sake of completeness and maybe e.g. supply a water butt for the garden) Whilst I wanted to build a decent shed for necessary storage, it had to be cost effective as my limited funds will be better spent elsewhere on the restoration of the house. I created a drip edge to ensure water falls beyond the shed sides as much as possible. The base was purpose built raised and free draining above ground level. The underside and edges waterproofed with blackjack. The shed sides overhang. This should be sufficient to minimise splash back
Glad it was of some use! Floor bearers: 2”x2” Floor osb: 2400mm x 1200mm Wall timber/nogs: 2”x2” Door king studs: 3”x2” Roof Osb: 2440mm x 1220mm (true 8’x4’) Standard roof battens under roof drip edge. Featherboard: 150mm boards All timber was bought to utilise the cheapest standard ‘off the shelf’ sizes e.g. 2.4m / 3.6m / 4.8m and the shed built in increments of 600mm to reduce waste and make measuring easier
@@therestorationstation5475 thanks mate the size is exactly what a need for my motorbike been thinking for days came across your video and channel . Made it simple .nice one
Total cost for materials including the base was roughly £750. I do have some trade discounts but cost of everything, especially timber, is currently high
I really enjoyed the vid & thanks for taking the time to show us , Im just starting mine Could i ask why you built the back wall lower i was thinking of using furring peices ? Thanks in advance .
Great shed, great videos! Thanks mate!
Great video👍🏼 this has cleared up a few things I was unsure of. Thanks 😁
I’m about 50% though building my shed and this was the shed that I’ve based mine on, thanks again! Also, you should do an update video of the inside and any alterations!
A very comprehensive study in shed building with lots of tips. Thanks.
Great job. Well done.
Excellent shed build, very clear information provided. I’m going to watch your videos to build my garden shed soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great job...and instruction video. Thank you
Great couple of videos, thanks!
Thanks Thomas - Hope they provided some inspiration
Great shed. You make it look so easy to do!
Thanks Susy 👍🏻 It’s still standing so I did something right!

Thanks Roy - I don’t imagine for a minute that my video is the best guide but I’m glad if it’s been of some use! The beers do help!
Thanks for the Great video.very good explanation will help me building shed in this summer
Awesome thanks will be using this as a template to build my own shed as well, wish me luck
Excellent build m8
This was incredible bro. I wished I watched before doing my shed 😅
Good job 👍🏾

I agree im in the same boat this has been great inspiration
you to god bless you and your family
thank you easy to follow video
Nicely done for doing it by yourself no one holding bits in place ect
That was extremely neat and tidy.
Cheers Big Pete!
@@therestorationstation5475 no worries buddy.

What’s the rough cost if you don’t mind me asking? Thinking of doing the same
Spot on

Great work ..that would have cost you a fortune to buy, nice job
Nice - well done
Thanks Terry appreciate it
That's awesome, I shall use your ideas for my blacksmith shop which is going to 12' by 10'
Thanks Adrian - Good luck with the workshop

Great demo. Only problem (for me) is the lack of daylight! A window would have been a nice addition.

@@therestorationstation5475 great I will bear that in mind, a single door will be easier to secure too.
Thank you.
Curious to know how it's stood up - has the base remained sound? Also what size is the framing timber?
Where did you get your feathering from as it seems expensive and hard to know where to get it from
What timbers do you use for framing are they 2x2?
Reference your query on annular ring shank nails. The annular refers to the ring, wrapped around the nail shank. (Annular means ring shaped.) They grip soft woods better than straight shank or screw shank, which turn as you hammer them in.

This looks amazing, well done. Silly question if I may, are all your studs external grade ? Plus are your studs 2x2?

Thanks for the reply. I am torn with the base you have OR a base of 2x4 all around and using the concrete floor as the base.
1. OSB on timber bearers
2. Frame that sit on risers or anchor jacks
3. Frame that is flush on the concrete and secured on by anchor bolts
what is that paint your using? is that to protect the osb plywood?
How's it going a year on? Anything you would change?
In hindsight would you have painted the treated timber battens with the bitumen paint as well or is that just massive overkill? I know the timber is treated already but just a thought as it’s resting on concrete?
Anyway, great video again! 👍🏻
The base is completely free draining, not concrete. Considering the bearing timbers are pressure treated the bitumen paint would have been overkill. If the base was a concrete pad, I might have been tempted to paint them since there is more chance they could be sat in pooled water.
Any damp proof under the bearers
How is it with condensation? Would you recommend putting some ventilation?
Great video BTW.
Hi Gary and thanks.
No issues with condensation since there are so many gaps between the timbers - It’s just a very basic storage shed that keeps the water off the stuff inside.
If the timbers were very closely fitted e.g. tongue and groove or osb walls then I might consider leaving a vent gap under the eaves, ensuring (wind blown) rain couldn’t get in or, especially if I wanted it insulated, start to consider breathable membranes etc etc etc
why no over hang at the front? and what about venting?
great video,s try turning up sound when editing, lets a good thing down.
Cheers Edward - Will bare that in mind 👍🏻
Nice shed get some guttering on the back so the splash won't rot the thing other than that great build
I’ll be honest - not going to bother with guttering (as much as I agree it could be added for the sake of completeness and maybe e.g. supply a water butt for the garden)

The underside and edges waterproofed with blackjack. The shed sides overhang. This should be sufficient to minimise splash back
How much do you think this cost on materials?
Needs a ramp for dollys and wheebarrows
You have just made my plans so much clearer you couldnt be a gent and tell me what sizes of timber you used so a can write them down 😊
Glad it was of some use!
Floor bearers: 2”x2”
Floor osb: 2400mm x 1200mm
Wall timber/nogs: 2”x2”
Door king studs: 3”x2”
Roof Osb: 2440mm x 1220mm (true 8’x4’)
Standard roof battens under roof drip edge.
Featherboard: 150mm boards

I didnt buy the lumber someone else did I just helped put it together with a family member
Should've folded that last corner under itself . Great job tho bruv
09:02 true story building a shed with a beer
Hi how much would it roughly cost
Total cost for materials including the base was roughly £750. I do have some trade discounts but cost of everything, especially timber, is currently high
all depends on what you want to build the cost very's in price
I really enjoyed the vid & thanks for taking the time to show us ,
Im just starting mine
Could i ask why you built the back wall lower i was thinking of using furring peices ? Thanks in advance .
Not a troll but it’s definitely 18mm flooring for 400 cntrs and 22mm for 600 👍🏻
