- Time to tear down that old rickety shed and build a nice shed, even if it's only to hold firewood that doesn't mean it can't be nice. The build is very simple and straight forward, and can be accessorized to suit what you need very easily.
I have plans here!

I'm 78 and just built this alone. Hard work but very satisfying.
Glad to hear it!
Very good explanation. No ugly music like others. Good job, my friend 👍
BTW, that reverse screw crick till it smokes ... excellent tip for the DIY
That was one of the best explanations of how to get the angles on a roof line I have ever seen or heard on line. You made that build look super easy. 👌
Thanks! I tried to make it pretty easy, happy to help. Thanks for watching
This is a great build. You mentioned adding a tarp which I would highly recommend. I built a similar shed that was 8ft wide. I picked up an 8ft wide tarp and attached a pvc pipe with end caps to the bottom using zip ties to the tarp grommets. It allows you to roll down the tarp to protect the wood from rain and snow then simply roll it up when you need wood or to let the sun do it’s thing on nice days.
Thanks, appreciate it! Cool, thanks for the info
Well I moved up to the country recently and was looking for a wood shed to build. I watched several other videos and this one caught my eye. I am going to duplicate this as it’s pretty much the best one I’ve seen on CZcams... looks stylish and practical... Well done
Awesome! Thank you. Good luck and have fun
Wonderful video and excellent instructional write-up!!! I am now a follower! This helped me come up with my design for a wood drying rack for my live edge pieces that I use for woodworking projects. I get free wood all the time, but drying it in the garage takes so much longer due to the lack of airflow. Now I have a place to dry all the stumps and lumber before they turn into tables, coatracks etc. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it! Thats awesome, welcome to the crew! That sounds so cool, I'm pumped I could help out and make your projects a little bit easier and quicker. Good luck on yours and keep me posted, I'd love to see it when its done!
Beautiful work , well done! You explained this perfectly. People should watch great videos like this 2x and write down notes. Easy learning. Thank you.
Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm glad you liked it and happy to help
Great job, I would recommend splitting the whole cuts that you have in the bottom of your wood pile, split wood drys out much faster. I just found this out last week, and now here I am, talking like I know what I am doing. 😁
Haha thanks. I actually ended up recycling them with the city for compost. I didn't have faith in that bottom 2 rows of wood when I cut the tree down to be very good for burning. It's a willow and man is it sappy, pops like crazy and just stinks when burning. Take care
Just finished mine. 3 hours a week for maybe 10 weeks. Lot of these steps new to my newbie woodworking sel. Well illustrated, hope wood I order does the wood justice!
Nice, I'm glad to hear you took the leap and made it! Enjoy
Thank you so much for your tutorial it was very helpful I learned a lot from it I learned how to not make my wood crack by reversing my screws. I learned how to easily make sure my uprights were level. And I learned how to easily cut a slope. Thank you so much and for those who felt the tag was irritating to them truly they have nothing better to complain about I think you’re awesome
Anytime, I'm happy I could help! I'm glad you picked up a bunch of tips and tricks, they make a project go smoother. Thanks!
Dude, this video inspired me to build my own shed. It's pretty much like yours but with my own modifications. First time I've ever built something from scratch. Came out really good!
Really!? That's awesome! I love hearing from people that have made their own, I made the original and seeing all the variations people make to them is crazy and gives me ideas for a new version later. I'm glad you took the plunge and made it yourself!
I've been wanting to build one of these for so long but every tutorial looks too complicated. You sir explained it so well and make it look effortless. Well done. New subscriber!
Awesome! Glad I could help and welcome to the crew! I try and break most things down as easily and clearly as I can, that's my goal
Looks like a really sturdy build, top job 👍🏻.....I found with my log store it's handy to have it sectioned off so that newer greener logs can be put into their own sections so that the drier wood isn't buried at the bottom. Maybe it isn't a problem in your climate but in the UK the logs can take a year or two to dry out enough. Great video new subscriber!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Yeah, if it was any bigger I would have put a dividing wall in the middle to keep them separate. Happy to have you as part of the crew!
Great job on shed and video. Simple, straightforward and not wordy. Safety glasses a must; would hate to see a guy with your talent blinded. Would be hard to do more videos. Would like to build one just like this one except it would hold a true cord Thanks again.
Thanks so much! Have fun and good luck
Great video. One thing you may want to think about is since its small and just for your fire pit. May want to add a small separation like an 1/8 of the length for small kindling. That way you dont have to pull from the middle for your larger pieces
See, that would have been a great idea, thanks. Maybe have to add one on next year! Thanks for watching
Just built a wood shed like yours this weekend, very good video to use as a reference. Heavy duty design and very happy with the final product. Thanks!
Man that's awesome! I'm pumped you gave it a go and made one! I'm happy I could help. I'd love to see it, if you send me some pics I could feature it too
Looks good. PT lumber prices have been scary, but I have your build on my schedule. 🙌🏼
Thanks! Yeah, at least here it's gone down, but it's still higher than it used to be. Good luck on it when you finally get going, let me know how it goes!
Great tutorial! I watched other videos on building your own firewood shed and this is by far the easiest to follow. It also looks classy which is a big plus! Thank you so much. New subscriber!
Thanks! That's awesome! Well I'm glad you liked it and found it useful. I know I'm partial, but I really like the design of it lol Welcome to the crew!
I love your "how to" videos! So well explained and illustrated!
Thanks!
Nice work! Thank goodness your supervisor was on the job too!😊👊
Thanks! Lol yeah, I keep joking I need to get him a white hat
Fabulous, well explained and very smart. I like the idea of putting a panel in to keep the wet and dry wood apart but not sure I'm up to that. Wish me well guys!
Thanks! Good luck on yours!
Well done.
Wonderful job and beautiful results.
Thank you for sharing this process.
Will try it. ☺️☺️
Thank you, my pleasure 😊 Good luck on yours
Great video! Just finished my shed...followed the vid step by step...I love my new shed!
That's awesome! I'm glad you like it. I'd love to see and share it if you'd send me some pics. Either email or Insta in the description
people gave you grief for not taking the labels off the wood? unreal......no grief from me. thank you for this great video
Finally, thank you. Oh yeah they did lol so many people. Thanks for watching!
Very nice log-store shed😍
Thanks 👍
Nice and very detail video - Planning on this around January 2023
That's awesome! Glad you liked it
Looks great. I will add a shelf at the top for kindling wood.
Thanks! That would be a great idea. Good luck on yours, let me know how it goes!
Thank you, I've just built my store to your design - 👍👍
That's awesome! Glad I could help, enjoy
Thanks for the time you took to make this video!
Anytime! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the tutorial. It affirmed my design.
Anytime, happy to help!
I made my shed follow your video to the letter...came out great! Thanks!
That's awesome! I'd love to see and share it. Email me some pics and a story if you'd like
It’s good to live in a country where wood is cheap
The country is literally covered in it, so I can't complain
I can't wait to do this thank you for sharing
That's awesome! Glad you like it
Beautiful precision shed build. Very nice wood shed
Thanks, glad you liked it
Bit late to the party but hell of a job and explanation was on point grand job pal
Thanks, I appreciate it! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching
Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Anytime, thanks!
That came out sick!
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
Looking forward to giving it a go, great job
Thanks! Good luck and have fun
It is very easy how you explain Thanks so much 👍
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful!
Great video. Thanks man
Anytime! Thanks
I’m in the uk. Love how easy you make it. 👍
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Bud that looks great!!!! gonna make one now for my new house thank you!
Awesome! And thanks. Good luck with it. Send me some pics after and I'll feature it if you want
really helpful video, the little tips and how to parts are perfect for this sort of video and will be things i use in other projects, thank you
Thanks. Glad I could help
Really nice work!
Thanks!
Nice. I thought it was deeper- till last shot of it. Have same wheelbarrow.
Thanks. Yeah, it would be easy to make it deeper if needed but I had to make it fit the space I had
Never heard of running the drill counterclockwise to cauterize the wood. I guess that's much faster than pre-drilling holes. Thanks.
It is, saves a lot of time. Glad I could help! Thanks for watching
Just fantastic.
Thanks!
This is the kind of guy when you ask someone if they know that they always say "yeah he's a great guy suuuuper nice."
Awesome job
Thanks
Safety Glasses!!!
I know this is a couple years old, but 2 things if you will... 1) still holding up? And 2) i would have did a trim strip on the sides as well butting at 45*
It sure is! Holding up absolutely fine. Still as solid as the day I built it and it's seen many cords of wood go through it. And that's the beauty of it, you can customize it as you like! Go for it
Very smart. Nice work
Thanks
great video
Thanks!
Nice video to watch and very informative. Timber must be cheap in Canada (all those trees!). In England, timber is quite expensive so I could never justify using as much as you have. I'm afraid I'll be using a lot of reclaimed timber from old pallets!
Thanks. I wouldn't say cheap, but not terrible. Yup, lots of trees, especially north of here where half of Sask is forest. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Awesome explanation good video
I am going to build one just like that
Thank you
Thanks, glad you liked it! Thanks for watching. Good luck!
I'm going to build this, thanks!
Awesome! Good luck on yours, keep me posted!
It's a nice simple project and looks great.
I am doing this. Spot on
Thanks! Good luck and have fun
Must be from Ontario ... American Eagle shirt :-D ..
Saskatchewan, and It was given to me. We have a local store tho
Gotta live Canada and their robertson head screws...
Good Job !
Thanks!
Great work. I'm going to build this near my place. NE Fairbanks Alaska.
Thanks! Thats awesome. Greetings and good luck with it
Great job
Thanks!
Nice work
Thanks
Now Thats a firewood Shed.....
Thanks, glad you like it!
Looks great. I've been thinking about making a wood shed and this looks uncomplicated with minimal tools needed. Good tip about how to not split the wood. It's a pain having to switch out drill bits to screw heads when drilling pilot holes. Your videos are very easy to watch and follow. Keep up the good work. I have subscribed for future videos/projects
Thanks so much, good luck!
Sun spiritual
Nice.
Thanks
Great Video
Thanks
Bonito trabajo,enhorabuena amigo
¡Gracias! Me alegro de que te guste
You've done all the thinking for us! Thanks.
My goal is to help and inspire, but make things easy and clear to follow, as well as look great
great video dude.
Thanks!
Very nice tutorial. Any changes you would recommend to have the roof pitch towards the front instead? Or is this just a matter of using your build and closing up "the front" and keeping the back open?
Thanks. Use the same build and just change which side you put the wall boards on. Instead of putting them on the low side wall put them on the high side wall. Then your low end with the roof pitching towards you is the open end. Pretty much like you said yup
Awesome video. Would love to see some quick tip videos in the future!
No safety glasses!! Really! Ok on to the next video.
Moon spiritual 😂
Nice I’m gonna build one like that
Awesome. Good luck and have fun
Excellent 🇨🇦
Glad you like it!
Thanks Jesse for you video this is very help full for me, but you have not thought about a front protection for the rain?
Thanks, glad you liked it. I thought about it, but if it rains it'll dry out again pretty quickly. At least in my area. If you're in a are with more persistent rain you may want a cover. Either a couple doors or even a tarp cover of some sort, maybe a roll up
GreT vid man
Thanks!
This looks awesome! Just one quick question. Pressure treated wood contracts on its own. Should you still use a spacer? And what’s the thickness of your spacer- was it 1/4 or 3/8 inch?
Thanks! Normally for a deck or something I wouldn't use a spacer because yes, as it dries it creates the perfect gap. In this case however I started with 1/4" spacer and then it would open up a bit more as they dry, that allows for airflow through the pile from above, below, behind and beside to keep the wood stored inside dry, and allow for fresh wood to dry out, instead of holding moisture. The larger the gaps the more airflow, but not getting so big that water just floods in. Hope that makes sense
@@JessedoesDIY Thank you very much!
Anytime!
Thanks for taking the tags off. Now can you take the staples out please?
No prob. After a season, I don't even notice the staples. Next time
NICE!
Thanks!
Really nice. Great work! but it would take me a month to build not a day.😁
Thanks! Nah, it's not that hard
Thanks for the video. I just built this shed, and I'm very happy with it. One question. What is the 4x4x8 on the materials list for? I assume to cut into 4, 2 foot lengths to go under the frame so its off the ground? 🤔
No prob. That's awesome, I'm glad you built it! Oh yeah, that's what it's for, I just didn't show it, sorry
Sweet subscribed Simon
Awesome, thanks! Glad to have you on the crew!
Looks great - I want to build this one. Not an experienced builder, does something like this need to have footers or posts in the ground? Mine might be in an area where it could tip over - or maybe that's not necessary since the weight of the base/and presence of wood will stabilize it? Any thoughts appreciated.
This is exactly what I am after, is it possible to get a materials sheet? So I know what I need. Top job, thanks!
Thanks! Glad i could help. I'll hopefully have one later today. I want to do a write up on it
Thank you for sharing your video. Really appreciate it. Getting our wood burner insert next month. I am not familiar yet with how much wood makes a cord. Can you give me a rough idea of how much wood this shed will hold (cord-wise)?
No problem, thanks for watching. If you are talking face cord, about 1 cord. 20" long logs will fit, it's taller than 4', but shorter than 8' so it balances out to be 1 face cord
Great looking shed, that trim piece really sets it off nicely. Cheers from NS
Hey! Love this shed, I even grabbed plans on your Etsy page. Looking forward to building this next weekend! One question I had as I gather material, for the roof 1x6s, just curious if I were to grab 1x6x8 pieces and not have to cut them and glue, would it still work ok? Maybe there is a specific reason for the 1x6x5s in your build.
Hey sorry for the late response, I assume your shed is already done. No ,there is no reason you can't use 8' boards for the roof. I just can't buy them that long here so I had to go this route. Thanks for the support and take care!
@@JessedoesDIY Yup the shed is all done and looks great! And the 8' worked well and made it a bit simpler too! Cheers
I enjoyed watching your work.👍🏻🌷
Had to ask you what size it is. Height, width and depth?
Hope to guide you.
Many prayers for your success and health and safety.🤲🌹
❤From Baltistan Pakistan🇵🇰
Thanks so much! Overall it is about 5.5' tall, 7' wide and 2' deep. But this was made to specifically fit into the area that I had, it can be altered to suit your needs.
Wood shed or green house
Excellent job mate,got yourself a sub👍
Thanks so much!

Hello and thanks for the video, it is very easy to follow. Question, will this shed hold one cord of wood, or 1/2?
Hey, thanks for watching! This shed that I made is about 1/2 cord but it could easily be made deeper for a full cord
this looks great! Quick question: was there a reason you didn't use the same 5/4 boards for the roof?
Thanks! Cost mostly, 1x6 and 5/4×6 in my area are massively different in price. And they didn't need to be overly strong for such a small roof, this was plenty
How has the roof held up?
Amazing.
I think I burnt some pressure treated wood a few months ago and felt really bizarre. I survived but won't do that again. How many 2x6 did you use for this ? Six or eight ?
Yeah, don't do that. I use five 2x6 I believe
