- since purchasing... we see the price has dropped significantly which is sad for us to see but great for y'all if you're in need of a shed! here is the link... www.amazon.com...
best of luck to all of those taking this project on! it takes lots of patience :)
Love watching you two working together to do this build. The times when my wife and I work together on projects is the best.
I purchased a 12'X24' Arrow Murryhill shed and will be setting it up
on a concrete slab in Tucson Arizona. Nice to see it can be done with 2 people. We will install an anchor kit due to the microburst winds we experience here on occasions. Super great video, it's going to help a lot. Keep up the good work!!
ours held up against 40ish mph winds we got in Pensacola from Hurricane Ian with just the wood screws, so with concrete anchors you should be ESPECIALLY prepared for any winds you get there😊
2 people wasn’t always comfortable, but it’s certainly do-able. if you have any extra questions feel free to reach out and i can review our instruction packet to try and clarify further! best of luck!
@@EricAndSelah Did you have to brace the 4 corner panels during assembly? Temporary bracing?
yes i was taking turns picking them back up off screen because they kept blowing over! we ran screws through the bottom of the frame into the wood to fix the issue temporarily but since you cant super easily do that… maybe you could find something to lean up against the inner corner?
How did the 12x24 assembly go? How long did it take?
can you fit a car in their?
Thanks so much for sharing your project. Kudos for the hard work on the video too!
oh of course! if you have any more questions about assembly or anything just let us know and i’ll my best try to clarify🤍thank you!
Shelterlogic aka Arrow should be paying you back for making this very helpful video!
Thank you! We’re glad it helped you out
Could the sliding door go on the opposite side?
if i remember correctly, yes! it should all be dependent on how you set the floor frame and wall panels up. it’s been a couple years now and i don’t know if models have changed at all though, so i would suggest figuring out what size and model number you’re looking into and there should be an online instruction manual.
i just searched and got this result…
www.shedsforlessdirect.com/manuals/arrow-12x24-murryhill-garage-BGR1224FG-manual.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOooQYfJhaJ80PxZwDZPEEPEnzgWWn3otiMn1pnyHcVe-aKi_65hu
if this happens to include your model number it begins to show you the process on pages 18 and 19 for the lower door track:) and it states it can be on either side. best of luck!!
Perfect, but the only thing is that washers should be used so scratching doesn't happen. Preferably rubber to keep leaking to a minimum. Also, limits rusting two reasons rain acid and metals are different metals screws going into building. Using two type metals cause problems in weather changes in long term and weaker metal will fail and in this situation the building metal fails first.
yeah probably. we weren’t buying it to be a long term solution but that’s a great point for others who may be!
I purchased a 12 x 31 Arrow Shed and it fell down due to the high winds where I live. I had to rebuild it in wood BUT I am using the garage door and other parts. I need a detailed idea of how to make the garage work. My just always get stuck and then the rollers come off, no matter how many times I adjust it. Any Advise? BTW, this video is much better than the Arrow shed build by the company. They always seem to skip the parts where most people have problems! Great Job!
awe im sorry to hear that!! we just recently moved and have a new garage with an actual shingle roof on it and we’re kinda in the same boat cause a tree fell on it… we want to reuse the windows but everything else is a lost cause lol.
given all this, i dont have the Arrow shed near by to reference anymore but we had a similar experience with the garage door… it would get stuck if you didnt open it with even pressure on each side, then sometimes we’d have to press on the top panel or 2 cause they didnt want to fold and roll back like they’re supposed to.
if i remember correctly, the tracks for the door weren’t really braced in place by much so that left a bit of room for them to shift out of place… so if you havent done it already then maybe framing wood behind the tracks and sending screws through them into the wood on each side may be your best bet to hold them in place and keep them from shifting too much. i would re-adjust it the way you want and watch what it’s doing from inside the garage, but of course make sure you have another way to exist in the meantime if you get stuck🫣😂 wood framing might look terrible depending on how it’s done, but functionality is more important than aesthetic in my opinion.
even just using a couple L-brackets from the bottom of the tracks to the floor may assist in keeping them in place maybe.
sorry if these are useless ideas but that’s all i really have coming to mind at the moment
best of luck and if you need someone to bounce other ideas off of, of course i’d be glad to help further. our email is ericandselah@gmail.com if you wanted to send some photos or something to give me a little more to go off of in case you continue having back luck.
thank you though!! i’m very surprised this video has done as well as it has cause video editing certainly isn’t my forté, but if it helped one person then that makes it all worth it:)
Good work guys!
thank you so much 💙
Do you think if i sealed up and insulated one of these it would work ok for an outdoor office?
I'd add heating as well
i think it could certainly work!! it would certainly be a bit dark and the side door was a pain in our case… difficult to use. but if that’s your jam and you’re able to figure out the side door or maybe just get some upgraded hardware, i think it could be a great option for the price and space!!
I just bought one of these but it's winter now in the spring this looks like it's going to be a hard task. All by myself
i think it could certainly be done alone if you have a lot of ladders and things to prop the walls up but another person definitely helps!!
My neighbors dog does the exact same thing, to the point you cant even enjoy our backyard. Our dog doesnt bark at all. Basically never should have bought in a neighborhood. They also got the dog as a pup three years back.
Soooo... I have an odd question maybe. My dad built this same shed years ago. He passed away last November. My mom is still with us, but is 80, and we are trying to get her into assisted or senior living, because she can't live completely on her own anymore. We are planning to sell the property to the neighbors next door. They do not care about this shed, because he is a builder, and has a HUGE workshop... what they need is a yard... lol. Anyway... I have been considering taking on the task of disassembling this shed and rebuilding it at my house. I can't really afford a shed, but have wanted one like this... plus... it would be neat having my Dad's tool shed, as it was certainly part of him. I know disassembling a shed like this would be a LOT of work, plus moving and rebuilding it again. Would certainly be easier to buy a new one, and have it shipped, but I don't really have the money for new... so thinking in this case, work instead of cost... lol.
So what's my point? Having built one, any recommendations on how you would disassemble if you planned to move it? What parts you would leave intact? What you would take apart first? I was thinking I would leave the ceiling supports intact, for example, doesn't seem like there would be a reason to take them apart.
i’m sorry for your loss.
we moved and did not take the shed with us because… like you said… it would be a lot of work lol. but i think it could be done. what i would do is number the pieces as you remove them, “1-100” for example. then reverse engineer it 100-1. or you could even find the instruction manual online for the shed and use the actual part numbers. or using both together as your labeling system might actually be best so you have both to assist you in re-assembly. while you’re disassembling it, you’ll learn what you need to take apart and what you can just take bigger sections out of but i think the roof gables are mainly going to be all you can really do that with… and the side door and smaller things like that. i would recommend fully disassembling the wall panels as they’re so thin. i would always recommend taking the extra time to separate pieces rather than putting the extra strain on yourself to move heavier sections. plus it’ll decrease the number of trips you’ll have to take to move it all.
i think it’s definitely do-able, but it’s not going to be fun. and since yours is slightly older, maybe videoing yourself disassembling it could help you with your reassembly just in case there are any discrepancies with how various parts were put together.
best of luck!!! let us know when you get it figured out… or if you have any issues we can maybe help you with:)
also, i don’t remember much about the assembly at this point but i think starting with the garage door/ track system/etc., then the roof panels, then the roof supports may be your best 3 first steps to take in disassembly as i’m fairly certain those came last. the instruction manual and actually looking inside your own shed may help you better determine a game plan though. regardless of how you tackle it, be careful!
Is it possible to put 2x4 wood on the sidings as a extra base to make it higher a bit? Wondering if the roll down door still closed/sealed properly?
i feel the garage door may drop out of the track if you go too high or it may leave the top portion with an open crack above the door but you could certainly try!
@@EricAndSelah what’s the total measurement of the roll up door from top to bottom?
we don’t have the garage anymore because we moved unfortunately. I’m sorry I wish I could tell you.
I’m torn between buying one of these and modifying it to be a workshop or just moving my existing shed and building a slab for it. After a year, how has the building been? I know Florida weather can put some structures through their paces
we no longer live at the property we installed the shed but eric’s dad still does… as far as we’ve heard, all is still good with it! we had some pretty intense tropical storms while we were still there and it held up well.
at our new property we essentially have the same thing, a pole barn type structure but on a slab this time with taller doors so we’re able to actually pull our vehicles in and out, but the indiana weather right now along with that concrete almost has it feeling colder inside than outside so i’m pretty miserable working on much of anything at the moment. or that may just be my Floridian habits talking.
as you know, there’s just so many factors to consider… but we’re sure you’ll be happy regardless of which approach you take! there are pros and cons to just about any option out there. the only thing we really struggled with was space, but that’s just how eric is haha… he sees empty spaces as an excuse to buy more tools😂 best of luck to you and if we are able to help you out any more just let us know!
My 8531 and 8532s weren't in the packing
yikes. some of the other reviews i read prior to purchasing the shed said the same thing. you’ll have to reach out to the seller
Did you seal under the floor frame
The floor isn’t the strongest, I believe that was addressed in the video. It was not intended to be driven on. It was a budget storage solution that got us by until we moved, though it is still fully functional for the new owners. We did not seal the floor frame because we were not concerned with the longevity of the building or the “foundation” and the yard was pretty much just sand being in Florida, so the only standing water we really had was what remained on the flooring itself. Thank you.
Great video!
Question: for a shed this size, did you have to get a building permit from your county?
no we did not due to the square footage being less than our county, at the time, required for permitting. however, we did put it closer to the property line than was technically allowed… so i mean, if a neighbor complained or something, i guess we may have been forced to relocate it but our neighbors didn’t mind :) our county was pretty relaxed though so definitely review what your county requires!!
No permits?
you’ll have to check your own local requirements. our county did not require them
@@EricAndSelah thanks
How much larger is the floor in relation to building size. I’m considering doing the same thing you did. How is the water getting in did you seal the flange on floor. Thanks for the video
there was only about an inch or two of flooring around the perimeter. we did seal the outer edge later on. you’re welcome! glad it helped!
@@EricAndSelah I bought this same building and I would like to ask if I want to have a concrete slab poured what would I need the measurement to be to have the building fit exactly?
Man, just putting this building up in ND, where the wind, seldom don’t blow…. @ the side door now, the directions seem 2 be lacking about the door, had 2 call it a day, ha….
the side door was a piece of junk… we dont know what the issue with ours was but we could never get it to work right… so we ended up screwing it shut and making use of the extra wall space instead haha. if you have any specific questions we’d be more than happy to review the instructions packet and try to further clarify for you :)
Your floor wasn't built strong enough.IMHO It's OK to use pressure treated 2x4 but put in a 12" centers on a 12 ft run
How many days did it take to build it?
apologies for the late response, i didnt see this before… i believe we spent about 3 days total on the whole project start to finish. including the foundation, waiting for the water-seal stuff to dry, and delays due to rain. hope this still helps, apologies again!
Is this shed sealed enough to keep rodants out?
i think so!! depending on what type of rodents are concerning you. some small, agile mice might be able to find their way through somehow but we used some sealant around the perimeter and in some of the larger gaps we had, and had no issues:)
@@EricAndSelah ok, thank you
Yes...in my 12x24.. I can get in my Toyota Tacoma
you can? honestly that surprises me, i thought they were taller than that
How’s the roof height?
the door height is 6ft and neither of us are that tall so it works great for us! if you’re taller than that… building it on a platform like we did may help keep you from bumping your head since you’d be stepping into it rather than walking straight ahead if that makes sense. once you’re actually inside, it opens up a lot! it’s just the door (frame) itself that’s comparatively short
Great how-to assembly vid. You two make a good team. How did the unit come delivered? On a pallet?
thank you so much 💕
yes it was delivered by a small freight truck on a pallet
@@EricAndSelah I received my 12x24 delivery yesterday and moved them to my backyard.. those boxes were a little heavy.
just a little heavy?! you must have super strength haha. hopefully you were careful… they really make the most out of the space in those boxes
@@EricAndSelah Haha..no super strength. Just a little determination, a back brace and a ratchet strap. I did break a sweat. Now I just need to get my concrete pad poured.
that sounds like something a secret superhero would say🤔🤫 haha just kidding, but that’s great to hear you took the right precautions with the back brace. chiropractors keep trying to get eric to start using one but he just wont do it for whatever reason… drives me crazy!
you’re making progress!! keep us posted on how it goes :)
I had a bunch of missing pieces and had to make it out of wood
oh gosh yeah we saw a few reviews that made that seem like a fairly common issue people were having unfortunately :( they did respond and say you could contact them for the missing pieces… not sure if it’s worth the trouble for you now though
