Dude, I am a retired bridge form carpenter/concrete finisher. That was the BEST tutorial I have ever seen. Great video for the DIYer.
Wow thanks! Glad you liked it
😀I am a Novice and this was explained to were I could understand it. I will share a picture when I am finished. Thank you for teaching this for people who want to learn it correctly.
Perfect, I'm glad to hear it! That was my ultimate goal, for literally anybody to pick it up and tackle it. I can't wait to see it, good luck on yours!
First time building a shed. I followed your instructions. Took me about 5 hours to build the floor. Mainly because I was off square by 2 inches. Took me a while, I had to drill the frame to the 4x4 on one side and kick the bottom until my numbers were at 153 inch on each corner. After squaring the frame it was down hill and easy. Walls coming up soon. I watch your videos several times before starting this project. Thank you.
That's awesome, good to hear it! Yeah it can take some time but it all starts with the floor. I'm pumped your giving it a go and that I could help. Good luck on the rest and keep posted! I'd love to see it when its done
Just use the 3,4,5 rule on each corner as you go.
Extremely well done! Quick, to the point and loads of extra tips. I really like how you explained what fasteners to use.
Thanks so much, glad you liked it!
When you understand something fully,you can explain it simply. Great instructional video!
Perfect quote. Thanks very much, I appreciate it! Glad I could help
Well said.
I never even built so much as a bird house, but I made this shed thanks to your video series and your plans!
I made it 8x8 and made a few mistakes that I got through, but it came out great for me! I wouldn’t have even tried it without your videos - that I was constantly referring back to during the build. Thank you.
I’m trying to send you a video, but it’s posted on rumble so CZcams kills the post.
That's awesome and so good to hear! I'm glad I could gelp and pumped you made it. Mistakes are part of learning. Thanks so much for sharing and yeah, you can't post certain things in the comments.
I want to thank you for making this video series. I've watched tons of other "how to" videos on building, and none of them really helped me. You made these videos easy to follow, and did an amazing job of explaining things that more experienced folks probably think are obvious. Even the little tips and hacks made a world of difference! I've been trying to start my journey into falconry for 10 years, and building my mews has been the big sticking point. Thanks to you, I'm almost finished building the perfect building. THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks! I tried to think of all the sticking points that may hang somebody up and simplify them so I glad I could help! Good luck on your falconry!
I’ve watched this series of videos over and over. I’m building a storage shed in my backyard and following your instructions and advice. I’ve made some mistakes and I’m constantly rewinding to make sure I’m doing things right. I only have a few hours after work each day to build so it’s a slow process but it’s fun and it’s been an adventure. I just wanted to say I appreciate you taking the time to do these videos. I’m currently at the stage of making the door. I’ve taken some photos and I’ll post them when I get done. Thanks again!
That's awesome! I'm pumped your building it man. Work on it when you get the chance, it isn't a race but it's so satisfying when you're done to have a standing structure you built yourself! And yeah, you learn lots along the way so it's a win all around, I'm glad you're taking something from it. Cool, I can't wait to see it, good luck on the rest!
Never hurry when you are learning xoxo
I am looking forward to seeing you finishing the walls and the roof. Thanks for sharing.
Coming soon. Thanks for watching
What a great video. Simple, clear best instructions I’ve watched. Thank you.
Thanks! Happy to help
Thank you so much for this. So helpful you wouldn’t believe it. Feel armed with the knowledge to build my base. Thanks from the uk!
Anytime, happy to help!
Great Video. Happy to report that I followed your instructions to build my shed. Every video in your series was very helpful. Thank you so much.
Oh awesome man, thanks! Glad I could help out
Mice love this design. Nice warm place underneath. :D
I do love it. It's even easier than my last free standing shed. Another option (which I did on my last free standing deck for my gazebo), is to dig a good sized hole (1.5 to 2' should do it) in the middle of the joists (right before laying the floor) and throw a sawed off post in there with some concrete. Throw a bunch of screws in it to attach it to your joists. That shed won't move in anything short of tornado directly hitting it.
For an all wood shed.. probably not needed, but works great for a free standing deck or if you plan to put a big box 'plastic' shed on the base.
Very informational! Looking forward to the rest of the build!
Thanks
Me too, I am waiting..
i’ve never seen a video so clearcut and informative, thank you for sharing your knowledge. this video is giving me the courage to try and make a shed on my own
That's awesome! I'm glad I could help. Good luck on yours, keep me posted
Awesome tutorial. I’ve been researching all the ways to DIY a shed foundation and so far I like this method the best. Thanks!
Thanks very much! I'm glad you liked it
Awesome explanation, a beginner can use this. You explain step by step and also give the tips and clues.
Thanks! That was my hope for everybody to be able to do this. Glad you liked it
Love channel. I am from British Columbia and am happy to see a Canadian DIY channel. I just finished building the floor have probably watched this video 100 times to get it just how you did it! Thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate it! That's awesome! Good luck on yours, keep me posted! I'd love to see it when its done!
Bro built mine this week followed the vid and came out pretty good! Thanks bro
Didn’t know about the 16 and 32 inch mark intervals on the tape measure. Thanks! Big help. 👏👌💪
Anytime, happy to help!
This video is literally the easiest shed build to follow! Thank you for helping everyone from all levels of experience! Love this video!
That was what I was hoping for! Glad I could help, thanks for watching
Totally agree
Thanks!
Thanks to your videos I just realized what confused me for such a long time even though I am a woodworker. There is a minor difference in describing spacing which makes a big change on the outcome. *CENTER ON 16 is not the same as CENTER EVERY 16*, when I write it down it's clear as day and yet somehow it took such a long time for it to sink. Center on 16 is making sure the center is on an EXACT measurement (16, 32, 48..) and center every 16 (or any other number) is the spacing between centers. I feel dumb and enlightened at the same time, thank you.
Hey Tom! Haha well I'm glad I could make the light bulb go on for you! I love those moments when you're so close to figuring something out and can't quite get that last detail, but when you do everything just falls into place, it's so satisfying to know.
I too am about to purchase a shed. I’ve seen multiple vids on constructing the floor but yours by far is the easiest to follow. Thanks for sharing.
Anytime, happy to help
Thanks for the DIY floor base build a shed video. I will be building a floating base for Duramax 7x7 shed this Spring for a neighbor. After watching your video, I know exactly how to do it! Thanks Jesse !
Anytime, happy to help! That will be awesome, good luck on your project!
Hey my friend! I have searched for a lot of videos to help with ideas or ways to build a small shed! I am currently attempting to build an 10x8, and I am using my old patio floor lol, I’m a auto technician not a builder, but this video is one of the best videos I have come across. Good picture, great explanation, great directions, perfect instructions !! Thank you very much !
Hey man! That's awesome, I'm glad you found it useful! Your shed will be the same size as mine so it should be pretty easy to follow. Give it a go, I can't wait to see it, keep me posted! Good luck!
I’ve been a welder, grinder, and fabricator for 25 years building custom stainless pressure vessels. I had hell trying to get my foundation level because my backyard has an uneven 15 degree slope. I got my foundation level and the subfloor turned out great. I did have to use a few shingles to slightly shim under the 4X4’s to blocks for perfect level. My tank building skills is what helped me get through this 1st part of my 8X10 shed project. I appreciate your help by making these videos. The walls and roof should go pretty smoothly. Thanks.
Sounds like quite the battle but glad you got it all sorted out! I'm glad I could help you out and that you found the videos useful. Good luck on the rest of your shed and let me know how it goes!
Really nice tips and workmanship !!! THANKS !!!
Thanks! Happy to help, thanks for watching
Such a great work. Thank you for sharing with us!
Anytime, happy to help!
Thank you so much.. your kindness to show all of us even us girls who’ve never built anything before gives me great confidence in myself and other moms and women 🙏🤗
Anytime! I'm happy I could help. Good luck on yours
really enjoy your videos. your explanations are very clear and easy to understand and the video work itself is very well done, really easy to watch. waiting for the rest of this series! thinking of doing this myself this summer.
Thanks, I appreciate that! I'm happy to help and glad it comes out that way. I'd love to see it when you're done
Phenomenal video! I just got a 10x8 metal shed and needed to build a base. Love how easy you made this
Thanks, glad you like it! Good luck on yours
Thank you for making these videos, I've never built a shed, barn, before. I've built a couple of decks, looking at doing as much as possible and these videos are helping understand how.
Awesome, glad to hear it! Good luck on yours
Thank you so much for the videos in this series. After watching all of them, I feel very confident I will be able of build my storage shed this Summer. Thank you for generously sharing all the information and at no charge. I've personally watched some other shed build videos with information intentionally left out in order to force you to buy the plans or an e-book. Your instructions are clear and concise and did I mention "free"🤣. Now, if you could only do something about the lumber prices in the United States.🤣🤣 Off to build my shed. Cheers!
Anytime! I'm just happy to help and inspire people. I don't believe in forcing people to buy plans. If they want to (when I have them lol) that's great, but you shouldn't be edged to them. Oh trust me, the prices are just as insane up here in Canada too 😆. Good luck on your shed! Any questions feel free to email me, otherwise if love too see it when it's done!
Thank you! I must have watched a hundred videos on building a shed and your video is the best one I’ve seen. For the first time I feel confident in building one myself. Before I actually build one I want to build it first in my head so I know that I know how to do everything and not get halfway done and hit a snag. Your video was comprehensive enough for me to do that. I watched all 6 parts. Excellent build series! Thank you!
Hey that's awesome! Thanks for that, I'm happy I could help. Good luck on yours and keep me posted!
This was a great tutorial I’m applying it this weekend when I do the floor for my shed. Thank you!
Thank you, glad to hear it. Good luck on yours
I built a storage shed following your tutorial 18 months ago with painted OSB walls. I'm in Scotland where our climate can be really wet and my shed is as good as the day I built it. Say "No" to the nay-sayers about using painted OSB... it's as good as timber. Great tutorial by the way, many thanks.
Fantastic, thanks for sharing!
What an awesome video! Thank you so much for this!! Plan on building a shed soon and will 100% be rewatching this when the time comes
Thanks! That's awesome, I'm glad I could help. Good luck on yours and keep me posted!
This video is just what I needed to build a base for my garden shed. Thanks very much for sharing.
Awesome, I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching. Good luck on yours
crown up... probably the best advice you'll ever get
Yup
Thank you for your great guide - lots of subtle tips that helped a ton!
Anytime, happy to help!
I'll use deck blocks to have a level base in my case. I'm using a plastic shed on top, so it's going to be less involved, but your video is awesome and gave me a ton of very useful tips.
Cool! Happy to help. Good luck on yours
@@JessedoesDIY it made me rethink my approach. I was planning to go with deck blocks and only 2x4's, but I already see a problem with it (8x8 foundation for a 7x7 shed) - lack of joists. Ground has a slope to it so most likely, going with 4x4s as a flat base on deck blocks and then building the frame on top of this is the way to go.
This is a real video "how to build" cz the others its just people building stuff in time lapse videos...they don't show to us how to do it.
Happy to help!
Underrated comment
Thanks I’ll be building this in winter time here. I’ll watch this maybe 8 more times. Awesome job
That's awesome! Glad I could help. Good luck on it, and keep me posted!
awesome clip, easy to follow, no bs, very helpful in my design of my 6x10 trailer, thanks again.
Thanks, happy to help!
I'm working on copying your build with the exception of going 6ft deep instead of 8 due to space issues. You think I can skip the middle skid?
Cool! If you skip the middle skid I'd up the joist thickness to 2x6. Good luck on yours, keep me posted!
Best explanation video out there, I am going to follow it. Simple question, I'm a rookie, so bear with me ! When you are measuring your joist frame for square (diagonals), I am unclear how to adjust it for square if you have already nailed or screwed it together, making it a fixed structure ? (I have never done this so I may be missing a simple concept). Thanks very much !
Thanks, I'm glad I could help! So once it is all assembled and just framed, without sheeting on it especially, it can still rack from side to side a couple inches. So even though it is not coming apart, it can still move around a bit. Hope that helps, if you have any more questions just ask! Thanks for watching
Is there any tolerance in the diagonal measurement? I am 1/4” out by on my 7x6”” shed frame 😀
Actually yeah, that is ok. This shed is considered rough carpentry and the rule of thumb is something can be actually 1/4" out. You can make that up in other areas with a little pull here or a push there, maybe even tweaking a cut, so by the time it is standing and finished you'd never know anyways.
@@JessedoesDIY thank you 😊
Excellent job! Appreciate you sharing your video.
Thanks! Glad you like it. Thanks for watching
Nice way to explain,i watch your video and follow your instructions,and now I got a 10x12 ,,very easy to build,,,thanks buddy.
Dude, that's awesome! I'm glad I could help, and pumped you made one! I'd love to see it and share it with everybody if you email me some pics! Thanks for reaching out
Man... you make it look so easy. I can build cabinets and furniture but rough carpentery/construction intimidates me for some reason!
I am curious if you're going to release basic plans and numbers for this building because a 12x8 shed is what I'm shooting for however the vertical dimensions is exactly what I want.
Lol thanks. But don't let it intimidate you. I love doing finer things myself, but sometimes I just have to do a rough build because it's fun. Once you get a few basic rules into your head for it, you can almost shut half your brain power down, go head down and just hammer it out. And at the end of it you have a big structure which feels really satisfying when you stand back and take it all in.
I have been adding the materials for each video down in the descriptions and I would love to release a plan for it, but I'm still learning how to do all that stuff and I'm not sure when I could. But as soon as I can you can bet I'll be adding them later. For now you can take what I did, and because it's still exactly 2 feet wider than mine, the math is super easy. If you need a reference just stretch a tape measure out and count all your 16" marks up to 12'. That tells you how many floor, wall and roof studs you'll need. The design of this shed is very scaleable in that regard. Even your OSB will line up perfectly, I was cutting off 2' from mine because I needed 10', which is 2.5 sheets. You can literally get away with 3 sheets front, back and roof without cutting. Easy peasy.
Good luck, let me know how it goes. Any questions feel free to email me
Anyone have a husband that gets everything 90% done then moves to something else. I'm so overwhelmed with unfinished projects around my house I'm ready to scream. I have a leak in the roof and he is building a deck. Wtf.
Lol, my old man is like that. He's gotten better with age for sure...love him to death going to be starting a mini house soon
Guilty as charged…though I’ve been better since Covid. I got to finish all my projects during lockdown
You sound JUST like my wife.
That's every construction worker that ever lived, except for the finish carpenter
Your husband sounds like he’s got ADD, I’m the same way and have a prescription for ADD. Get him some Adderall
Beautiful. Good work. Thank you.
I loved how you showed the crown on camera, it looked as if I am looking at it with my eyes not on camera. I could really see the crown. Amazing.
Thanks! I'm glad I could help. Yeah, I figured that since the crown is really obvious all the time I'd show it so you know what to look for. Glad it worked out
Hi Jesse, I just finished my son’s shed step 1 - floor . Thank for your clear instructions. Great video.
That's awesome, glad to hear it!
What people FAIL to realize is, Building a Shed Cost ABOUT Half Or Less than Buying One... EXAMPLE ONLY! Buy a 8x10 Shed for $5,000 and by the time you pay it off, you spent About $10,000.. Or Do like He did here and What I did, I BUILT a 10x10 For Under $1,000.
Do you have plans
@@bf7504 No Plans. Built it how I felt it needed to be built. Been Holding up for over 13yrs now. Still looks new. Back Wall is 7ft Front Wall is 8ft. 2x4 "Rafters" every 18in or what ever the grooves in the Metal Roof are..
I just learned a TON from this series. Thank you!
That's awesome. No problem, glad I could help
First time seeing this and doing a shed. Thank you for information. Looking forward to doing my shed/base.
Anytime! I'm happy to help. Good luck on yours!
Well done!Very informative shed series.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Thanks for explaining details like how many screws/inch and crowning of boards. Haven't heard that mentioned before. 🙂
Anytime! All those things have merit on doing it correctly so it's worth saying
I am thinking about using the treated wood from my fence that I'm about to replace to build a shed and a deck. This video is really helpful. I will watch the rest in the series. Thanks!
Awesome! Good luck on your projects, glad I could help!
I'm gonna copy the way you build the flooring of the shed you making...it looked so sturdy...thanks for this video man...
Awesome, glad to hear it. Good luck on yours and thanks for watching!
I live in Europe and the dimensions, etc. were not usable as wood we have here is cut differently, but everything was explained so well I was able to "reverse engineer" the principles and designed myself a perfect shed. Thank you so much, by far the best serios on the topic I've watched so far.
Well, I'm glad I could gelp either way and that were able to figure it out! I'm so glad you build one for yourself and that you liked the videos
Thank you so much much for making this very easy to understand brother. Keep up the good work, we need more good instructors like in this trade.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
I build shed floors at work from 8x10 to 14x40. This video is good man, step by step correct!
Thanks! It better be correct, I used to build houses and sheds to go with them lol
I like how you clear out how theres many ways to build a shed but this the way you will build yours. Good job bro.
Thanks, appreciate it. Glad you liked it
Appreciate the detailed explanation. One of the best explanations I came across on youtube. Subscribed :)
Anytime! Thanks man, welcome to the crew!
Great video! Thank you for the detailed explanations.
Anytime, happy to help
My first time giving it a go this weekend lost my Dad recently and need a project to keep me busy thanks for the easy to the point Vid, God Bless
Sorry to hear that. Well, good luck on the shed either way
thanks man you rock, building a minihouse and going to use your guidance along the way, def going to go with 2x8 for the floors of a minihouse...thanks again!
Thanks dude, appreciate it! Good choice, good luck on it!
Excellent. Just what I was looking for. Much respect.
Thanks, happy to help
Thank you, a perfectly easy to understand vid, I plan on building my own shed and this was the first vid that caught my eye. I will be enjoying the rest of the series as I build my own.
Liked and subbed
That's awesome, thanks! I'm glad you liked it and welcome to the crew. Good luck on yours and let me know how it goes. Feel free to email me some pics and I'll share them with everyone
I thought it would be easier but it seemed more math than I am good at. I’m trying to build a few sheds for my stuff in my house. And your shed is so beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing. I will definitely take pics if I ever get mine done right🤙🏽
It's not overly difficult, but there is definitely a lot of pre planning and things to be aware of. I do have super detailed plans available if you want. All the materials, fasteners, lists, measurements, pictures, and descriptions you'll need...if you want. Good luck on yours, can't wait to see it!
Thank you for making this video, i was able to recreate the shed and i must say it’s easier than it seems!
Anytime, glad you found it useful!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I'm going to attempt to build this in the next couple of days
That's awesome! I'm glad I could help. Good luck on yours!
Fantastic informative and instructional video. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, Jesse! Thanks to you, I built a great shed!
No problem. That's awesome, glad to hear it!
Thanks very much for the easiest way you teach and explain to make exactly the kind of shed I need to build. We are not going to equip it with luxurious furniture. Hey man, you are very didactic and clear.
Thanks, I appreciate that! Glad I could help. Good luck on yours, keep me posted on your progress, I'd love to see it when its done!

Fantastic! I'm glad I could help. That's why I split the videos up because lots of people only needed certain parts. Enjoy!
great work Jesse, thank you
Anytime, happy to help!
Nice job pal. Just about to buy my first shed so this was really helpful, thanks.
