As a former framer I'd tell you to put a "California corner" on each end of the 1st wall to tie the other walls in. Across the top of the door for a header use 2- 2x4s with a piece of 1/2 in ply between them. Your joist hangers have no belly plate on them and the full weight is bearing on the nails holding the rafter to the hanger. This is unadvisable. The best joist hangers to use have part of the clip going over the top of your support beam. If you are going to use a 2x6 for a beam to support your joists I would suggest using 2 screwed together. Each end should have a king or double stud under it and possibly one of these in the center. The idea is to transfer all stress loads away from nails and to components and then to the ground. These comments are meant as constructive and helpful. I hope you take them in this context. To be on the safe side I would go under the beam holding your rafters up and install a 2x4 from the bottom of that beam to the floor every 4 to 6 feet. This will take the weight from the screws holding it to the wall and put it through the post to the floor. I understand screws have a shear strength but it's always best to avoid depending on that. After 10 years of framing I found the work to be hard on my body and I became a crane operator. I am not retired. I'm getting ready to make my raised garden walls, I have watched all your videos on this multiple times. Wish me luck!
Thank you very much for your comments and suggestions here! We can all benefit from them. With the span of my 16" OC 2x6 rafters of approx 8' I felt those hangers would do for this shed. But, I will take your advice and look into adding more strength to the hangers. Cheers! Kent
@@MANaboutTOOLS From the manufacturer: "Ridge rafter connectors provide alignment control and correct nailing locations...". They are not "hangers" at all. When used at the ridge, the rafters lean against the ridge and there is no force pulling away from the ridge or pulling down on the connector. The connector just prevents the rafters from moving sideways. In your case, the roof exerts a downward force and also may want to pull away. All that's holding it up are the nails at the very top of your rafter, which could simply peel off the top layer of the rafter. (BTW, I have no framing experience and am just trying to figure this stuff out for my own build and I could be completely wrong.) Nice detailed video!
Wow, I do not know why I always find it fascinating how things are built. Every time my contractor is building me something I love to know the details of it also. I think I could of been a carpenter! It is neat learning the details behind the build and how it makes it stronger.
I like how you included the mistake you made. this helps people to learn what mistakes are available to be made. It's going to happen after all, we're only human
I’ve been thinking about extending mine but I only have one the other sides to work with, as in a short side. I’ve been thinking about extending anyway, but I guess I’d have to take the a frame of the roof along with it
I had a lot of fun doing a very similar build several years ago but to save my back and knees I cheated hardcore and built the small on the ground then slid the whole into place using makeshift slides. Took a world of tedious measuring to ensure everything fit perfectly but for me that's part of the fun. Love your show mate. Pretty sure my wife is going to kill me though if I don't shut up about the upcoming projects for the new house and all the wonderful experiments I've watched you do. :P Still gonna keep watching.
Great professional build! I got a really similar project like that, the only reason keeping me from making it happen is because it'll be on the upper deck instead of ground floor.
I'm considering doing the exact same thing on my garage. I watched another guy's channel and he made it overly complicated. His build was 23k the cost of a new garage.
exactly what I want to build, but to the back of a garage. Any reason you see not the tie the rafters to the existing roofline? vs. putting is just under? I would be looking at a 10 x 23 shed
Thank you so much for the detailed video and well done explanation. If you read this could please tell more about part 2 from 9:15 to 9:45. I would like to know how did you use the screws to put that in place. The first piece I got it. From second piece. I hope you will reply me. I'm about to do this same project. Thank you very much
If I was using joist hangers I would have. Then notched the rafter at the bottom for the slope angle. But, I was using a different type of hanger that is also nailed to the top of the lag bolt plate. If I was doing it again, I'd use the joist hanger with a notch in the rafter method.
Love the videos. I am considering a very similar project. It is super helpful to see you go through the steps on this. I see that you sell plans on your site but don't seen any for this project? if you don't offer the plans, would you be able to offer the SketchUp files you used for the graphics. (I'm guessing that is SketchUp based on how it looks)
Thank you for the great instructions you provide. I really enjoy your videos. However, I have a question. How do we weather proof the sides which back up against the back wall. I’m anchoring my shed to the wall of my house. I have a brick veneer house, but the concern would be the same regardless of it being weatherboard or brick veneer. My concern is when it rains directly in that area (back house wall) or when the wind pushes the rain in that direction, it will rot out the back wall. Does anyone here have any ideas or suggestions to deal with this? Thank you guys in advance 🙏
Proper overhang… I’d also be anchor and build it under the original roof, add flashing and composite spacers to ensure there is no rot on wall or ledger
at 8:07 couldnt you have just turned that piece 90 degrees so that you didnt have to do any joinery cuts? not trying to be nitpicky just asking why you went the direction you did, and yes i know its very specific that i picked this moment out of the entire video to ask questions thats just the one thing that stood out to me, also im sick so most of the stuff is probably flying over my head
The link for the plans for this build seems to be a broken link. Are they located somewhere else? I am in the process of building this onto my existing workshop. Thanks
Sure, it is just a small , well built shed. But what he has done that is extraordinary is to take the time and care to craft a well edited instructional video which shows others exactly the steps to take to achieve the same outcome.

Gotta admire a man who ain't afraid to admit and show his mistakes. Only a real expert would do this.
Thanks! Much to learn from mistakes!
Come check my deck out lots of mistakes there lol 😂

Thanks! I'm trying to include more of that.
AS usual, your video is clear and concise, and shows that anyone can make a mistrake!
Great tips. Showing your mistakes really helps too!! Thanks
Thanks for watching!

Oh boy I think I can do it....u are building exactly what I need...thanks
Great vid. I want to build a lean to garage for my motorbikes and this has given me some great ideas.
Alot of wood to add you so a very good job😉
Yes, thanks
Would love a tutorial on your 3-D model animations!!
I might do a more in depth video on that. I did touch on it a bit here: czcams.com/video/8b51NPaX9Q8/video.html
Awesome! Thanks for making this video. I’m gonna build the same thing for the same reason. Except I’ll be using a wood floor.
Thanks!!
I love watching you build stuff Kent. Makes us all feel like it's possible!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the support!! Cheers, Kent
Very nice addition and you made it look so easy...wow
Thanks so much 😊
Great professional build! I got a really similar project like that, the only reason keeping me from making it happen is because it'll be on the upper deck instead of ground floor.
Thank you very much!
Great Job Brother!!
Thanks!
Wow, what a great how to video!
Thank you!
Looks good! Should have put something under the seal plate like seal foam or tar paper anything will help
I did add a foam gasket under the plate.
It never fails no matter how many times you do it. Seems like I always land on an anchor bolt. Lol
I know right!?!
Nice ! Good job! .
Nice addition and excellent framing. Thank you for sharing this. Have a good week.
Nice job
Thanks!
Good Job!!
Thanks!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!

Hi! Nice work man! Could you please tell me what is the size between each rafters please?
Nice build. Very professional. Looking at doing something similar and found your channel. Thank you!
Very machinist like.
I'm considering doing the exact same thing on my garage. I watched another guy's channel and he made it overly complicated. His build was 23k the cost of a new garage.
nice use of Sketchup
Thanks! It's an amazing tool.

Nice
Great job!

Thank you! You too!

I would like to know how did you use the screws to put that in place. The first piece I got it. From second piece. I hope you will reply me. I'm about to do this same project. Thank you very much
I put some of the screws in at an angle. near the end of the block into the rafter. Search for "toe nailing" or "toe screwing"
I was going to ask the same thing :) I thought maybe I'd use pocket holes.
Why wouldn't you put the rafter hangers on the bottom of the lag bolt plate? Genuinely curious as I am also building a shed extension.
If I was using joist hangers I would have. Then notched the rafter at the bottom for the slope angle. But, I was using a different type of hanger that is also nailed to the top of the lag bolt plate. If I was doing it again, I'd use the joist hanger with a notch in the rafter method.
Very cool animation. What software did you use to design the frame?
I cover that in this 2 part series: czcams.com/video/gXyDQC2PEuk/video.htmlsi=ZVtWvYdmusUom1Dv
What bracket is that you used for the rafter connect to wall beam? Manufacture and its model number

The price of lumber I wont be doing any building soon !
Yeah, prices are crazy high.
Do you have a shed measuring 10’ wide and 7’ deep?
What software do you use to CAD the structure?
at 8:07 couldnt you have just turned that piece 90 degrees so that you didnt have to do any joinery cuts? not trying to be nitpicky just asking why you went the direction you did, and yes i know its very specific that i picked this moment out of the entire video to ask questions thats just the one thing that stood out to me, also im sick so most of the stuff is probably flying over my head
i really enjoy your videos! what cad programm do you use to plan your builds & make the great animations?:)
Thanks! I use Sketchup Pro
The link for the plans for this build seems to be a broken link. Are they located somewhere else? I am in the process of building this onto my existing workshop. Thanks
David, thanks for catching that! I did not make up a set of plans for this extension as it is very specific to the existing building I had.
thanks for the nice video series.. what software are you using to render your "architecture" diagrams?
I use Sketchup Pro
Мужик, ты молодец! Но ты не сделал ничего необычного. Твоё строение обычное...

I so appreciate your comment and support!
What drawing program do you use?😊
I use Sketchup Pro
what screws are you using?
I now use mostly GRK screws
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow, you didn't take shortcuts and you used screws. Anyone would be happy with your work.
cool how you didn't edit out your follies. Nobody is perfec . haha
Great video!!! I’m doing one similar to this 🔨🪚
Thanks!
